And once you have one, they’ll ask if you are having more.

This. Every question in the debate is one she should have known was gonna be asked. She didn’t need to be given the questions in advance. And you do not email public officials sensistive information. That is just dumb.

yes, FFS. I work in the nonprofit world and I don’t use emails for sensitive topics because it is too easy for that shit to get leaked or foia-ed or forwarded to the wrong person. 

I guess it depends on how you define conservative values. I think equal rights for women, increased family leave, better protections for rape survivors, etc. could all be framed in a way that would get the support of moderate conservatives. What makes it tricky is the fact that American conservativism is so tied to…

This is one of the problems we have - in search of brand differentiation, the Rs are basically whatever the Democrats are not, and as the Democrats have moved more to the center, the Rs have had to move further to the right.

I don’t totally disagree with that - feminism is really tied to leftist/progressive ideas and theories, at least in the U.S. There really isn’t a lot of space in the movement for people with conservative values, at least in how I see it expressed.  Maybe that could be another element added to intersectionalism?

The Hitler quote also describes most advertising and marketing approaches.

Thank you for this. I live near Silicon Valley and this kind of shit makes me want to scream. I also work in philanthropy, and there is such a huge overlap in this mindset in philanthrophy, especially by people coming from the tech world or finance. I have a lot of respect for the innovations that technology brings,…

I live near Silicon Valley. You know what you will find at any playground in the San Francisco Bay Area? A checked-out dad, glued to his phone, ignoring his kids. There will be 15 moms and one checked out dad watching the game or on his laptop and ignoring his kids. So there’s that.

In her defense, I have very little recollection of the shit I said at a bar last week, much less eight years ago.

2008 should have been a come to jesus moment for them, but instead they’ve decided to double down on appealing to their dwindling base, gerrymandering, and making it hard for people who might not vote Republican to vote. Then they have the nerve to wonder how Trump happened. I’m hopeful that they might actually wake…

In general, I recommend people give to smaller organizations that they know are having an impact. There are huge organizations that do great work (like Doctors Without Borders or Natural Resources Defense Council), but bigger isn’t always better, but many of the big name organizations get money because people have…

Trump is many things, but “thoughtful” isn’t one of them. I mean, even if you like the guy you have to admit he tends to say whatever is on his mind, with no spin or filter.

I’m confused that their founder and head of strategy has a show on a conservative network where she opines about political candidates and issues that have nothing to do with breast cancer research. That seems like a bad idea. If she was going on democracy now and talking about how horrible donald trump was, I’d also…

Hillary is essentially a moderate republican, minus her policy on gays and abortion.

They always fall back on it, like the magical time when the party was awesome.

I live in the bay area, where city governments are liberals trying to out liberal one another. It’s not always a good look. I would love, love, love a politician who would be honest about the cost of some of policies we have, or come up with strategies to make government more efficient and proactive and operate more…

Also a method that caused millions of people to lose their homes...

I came here to say the same thing. I know transvestites, and they are not transgender. The role should have gone to someone who identifies male, like RuPaul, since it is about a cross-dresser, not somoene who is trans.

So are you positing that women and people of color are incapable of acting in a discriminatory manner?
