No, jackass. But cute.

Here we go again. Blame everyone except low voter turnout among the age groups where Bernie has the widest support...

It’s over. Ya’ll got the person you wanted. The rest of us who wanted Sanders just couldn’t convince you. Maybe we were too whiny, a little too enthusiastic, and bit too bombastic. We shoved when we should have pointed. We screeched when we should have whispered. Instead of building a team, perhaps we built a rampart.…

Bernie Sanders needs every vote to win this nomination, and I absolutely want him to win it. His campaign can not survive leaving supporters on the table for no reason...not people with a platform who might be persuaded to voicing for him, and not voters who might be persuaded to vote for him. If someone is a…

I don’t want them to be “nicer.” I want them to genuinely RESPECT allies who hold different views of how to execute progressive proposals than them and who’ve had different life experiences.

I really, really don’t think moderates are asking us to dream smaller. The polls show many of them believe in the same things we do.

Wow, thank goodness Jez isn’t getting melodramatic about it. I mean, Earther’s top article is about how Joe Biden is going to destroy the planet with his own bare hands so I guess this is a step up.

“Look, I like Warren, but I just don’t think she can beat Trump” was a nonsensical, self-fulfilling caution. We can argue all day long about whether it was misogyny or not that propelled that argument, but, at the end of the day, there wasn’t any logic to it. She had great plans, backed up her opinions with data, and…

failed in reaching the very same groups who he failed to reach last time essentially.

I loved all your plans. I thought you owned the debate stage. I thought you crushed Bloomberg back to baby status in his first debate but unfortunately, you suffer from what many African Americans suffer from: You aren’t a white man.

Making an account just for this.

I had been seeing Andrew (yes, that’s his real name) for about a year when mutual friends of ours announced their engagement. These friends were the first in both of their families to marry, so both families wanted to make the wedding A Very Big Deal. The adorable couple (henceforth known as AC) made all the plans,…

I am those Black and Brown folk and grew up with those restaurants available. It’s how I know they’re trash. My folks would drive past them and make us dinner instead of patronizing them. Why? Because they knew it was trash. I made no mention of Black and Brown folk in my post - not only because they are me and I am…

This one involves (alleged) Chinese spies!

I had started dating this guy, my last year of college. He wasn’t in college, but after graduating, he decided he wanted to be ‘good enough’ for me and get himself educated by going to video game school in Florida. Dumbass me was in love, and moved halfway across the country, away from all of my friends and family, to…

The universe did some fucking BACK BREAKING to make this all come to a head, and I seriously wouldn’t have believed it if it hadn’t happened *to me.*

When I was 22, after a brief eyeroll hiatus from Thought Catalog, I decided to randomly read some articles there during some down time. If you don’t know Thought Catalog,…

Mine is only ridiculous in how mundane and... perfect (?) it was.

Got out of prison early on the condition I leave the state and move home to my mother’s house. Got bored because I hadn’t lived there in like 6 years. Hit up a guy I grew up with and went to a couple movies with as a teen and said “hey I just got out of the clink what’s up”. We proceeded to have a very alcohol soaked,…

Blink-182 broke my up with my first girlfriend.

I dated my first girlfriend (Kristen for this story) during the summer of 1998.

Late nights talking. Holding hands. Lots of making out. We even got busted once making out in her bathroom by her little sister, who promptly ran out to tell her father. He was surprisingly…
