Literally every progressive blog post I’ve read has suggested it is hypocritical to give franken a pass but go after moore.

I’m with you on this one. This gets a meh from me. and I don’t understand how people are comparing him, who at worst was grabby but whose politics have been very pro-woman, to Moore, who was trying to fuck underage girls and who is totally regressive politically. I’m a dude, but I’ve had my butt grabbed. I don’t think…

The Republicans and Republican voters don’t give a shit about moral high ground. They voted for a serial sexual assaulter and adulterer. They don’t care. Franken, at this point, took a jokey picture grabbing or pretending to grab a woman’s boobs, and maybe grabbed a woman’s ass. I don’t think that is worth any…

No, you are not disqualified.

No. pretending to grab a woman’s breasts and trying to make out with her are basically the same thing as being a serial rapist. Also much much worse than trying to fuck a 14 year old.

I gave some money to Obama’s campaigns, and then I just got turned off on the DNC. It felt like I was pissing my money away. I’d rather donate to the ACLU or whatever and feel like my money was actually doing something and not just being pissed away on TV ads or whatever.

Thanks for writing this. I am not familiar with his thatistheplan feed, but from the videos I’ve watched of the needle drop, he doesn’t seem like a right wing troll. But hey, let’s call him out!

Male feminist here. I’m not mad at Kai (she’s pissed off, her husband was a dick to her, and she’s airing his dirty laundry in public, whatevs.), but I don’t see a contradiction in being a feminist and being unfaithful. It’s possible he abused his position of power to get women to sleep with him, but it’s also…

I think it is pretty historical and remarkable that the President of the United States is so toxic that the captains of industry don’t want to be associated with him.

For the right wing everything is a “heads I win, tails you lose” situation. There is no self-reflection, no ideology besides winning and being right. The right wing screaming heads are tripping over themselves to blame charlotessville on the liberals, and reframe it as peaceful nazis and violent leftists. Somehow a…

White dude here. I’m tired of everyone acting like this is a) a surprise or b) the only or worst example of racism in america right now. It’s like watching a bunch of people who have three martinis at lunch tut-tutting the wino passed out drunk. Pot, kettle, brah.

Sessions condemning white supremacists is like Shane MacGowan condemning alcoholics, or Snoop Dogg condeming pot smokers.

Well, the full-blown nazi’s are maybe less than 500,000. People who would never identify as being white supremacists but whose thinking lines up with theirs is enough to swing an election.

The thing that fucks with me is that there were, at most, 6,000 people at the rally. Let’s say that for every person at the rally there were 100 more who sympathized with them, and you still don’t get to 1% of the population. Why is he catering to such a statistically insignificant group? Why are they in his…

I actually responded to Trump’s tweet this morning, which isn’t something I’m proud of. It was such a spineless, classless move though. He’s such a garbage person. Like, if he were my dad, I would disown him. I’d say, “I’m estranged from my dad because he’s a greedy toxic narcissistic asshole. So we don’t talk anymore…

He’s gay, btw.

+1 to point 1. If you allow fewer people to immigrate here legally, you will end up with more people immigrating here illegally.

Trumper 1: Bro, our numbers are way down, bro. What are we gonna do?

The problem was, the CDC WAS compiling numbers and the numbers were not going to tell the NRA what it wanted to hear.
