Personally I’m tired of people attacking interracial relationships. I hated when Jill Scott did it several years ago and I hate it now. Because underneath the rant about interracial relationships is the hatred of biracial people. We get it, you don’t think we should exist.

Apologies for the long post, but I have Opinions about s4+ GoT and this seems a good a place as any.

What I’m explaining to you is that this default reaction you seem to think “people” had with the scene is not universal.

This particular rape never should’ve happened because it made no sense whatsoever in-story to have Sansa marry Ramsay in the first place. Avenge your family by marrying your family’s murderers and thus legitimizing them? In the book, Ramsay married a fake!Arya, and the Northern lords chose to believe that lie. And if…

Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. *Record scratch*

Expressing my opinion = expressing an opinion

Right. But young liberals are disagreeing with religious preachers, racists, bigots, et al. They’re disagreeing with people’s views and then those people by extension.

he could face the scummiest, most vile opponent, who cheats to win in the most obvious ways and with outside interference, and the people will still refuse to support the Progressive Liberal.

Yes, please! I hate that term so much. How is anyone supposed to take you seriously of you call yourself a “girlboss?” That seems counterproductive and like something I would have called myself when I was 7 and playing with my Barbies. A “girl” is not someone who runs a company. Can you imagine a male CEO calling…

I don’t need likeable characters. But what I do need is a show that understands its main character is unlikeable. #girlboss didn’t get its own memo.

Good — and let’s hope the next step is the word “girlboss” being canceled from the English language.

Having known quite a few farmers in my lifetime I feel confident in telling them to go and fuck themselves.

So right. “Gatsby” is a theme because of how vividly the book describes the opulence of the era, not because people are stupid and didn’t finish the book. If I threw a Goodfellas party, safe to say the theme would be more “as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster” than “WHY DID YOU DO THAT…

Yeah. I used to have a high horse about leggings as pants, until a friend in an intensive program at one of the best colleges in the USA looked at me like I was crazy, and said something along the lines of, “I spend 16 hours a day either in class or in a lab. If I’m not comfortable that’s absolute misery, who am I…

Dems could stand to take look Corbyn in the UK to see how to win with a platform.

Apparently the seat in SC was held by a Dem around ten years ago.....meanwhile, G06 has been a Republican stronghold (by huge margins) for decades even if Hillary came close in the election.

repeatedly losing by less is better in this climate than a landslide, which is usually is in these districts. repeatedly losing by less is not a rallying cry. it’s the facts. inch by inch, foot by foot, mile by mile. had these two deep red districts trounced the DEMs (as usual) then, yeah, that would be a problem. in…

We’ve been set back because we lost a handful of special elections that we were never even supposed to think we were gonna win in the first place? Even though we’ve been making gains at the state and local level since November?

It may shock you to learn that if he won, Ossoff would have been as impotent as the rest of the Dems in the House until the 2018 election, since we’re still ~20 seats short of a majority.

Honestly, getting more people who yell a lot is probably the best strategy at this point.
