I’m relieved to see a bunch of posts like yours here. Dragging a person who’s waking up for not having been woke from the beginning, or not waking up according to a very narrow protocol, is the definition of shooting your movement in the foot.

I’m puzzled by the insinuation she should figure this out behind closed doors. Yes, she’s 30, and this is delayed on our timetable of when worldly liberal people’s should have been having these realizations, But shaming people for not coming to terms with privilege fast enough will just make them defensive and push…

Correct. The world was better when white people didn’t acknowledge racism and sexism. Muuuuuch better.

Have fun with the 100 people who pass muster in wokeness. Sure ya’ll will get a lot done.

While the effort is appreciated, the process itself should perhaps remain behind closed doors.

I’m all for jumping all over bigoted whackos, but can we stop getting pissed off about stupid stuff like this? The guy made a dumb mistake and clearly was not trying to pretend to be a black person.

I don’t think that this is blackface. That said, I think that you need your fucking head examined if, in this day and age, you think that painting your face black and posting it on social media is a good fucking idea.

FFS.

Fuck everything. No, the fact that this was close when Trump cleaned up in the election doesn’t matter. Because all the terrible shit Trump and Company have done in the past year and a half, the fact that he is a known quantity now and an absolute menace, the fact that he is under investigation for obstructing…

It’s a wealthy district full of the “fuck you, I got mine” mindset. These people are only convinced that a living wage would mean their bottom line gets hurt.

Great job, Georgia. Smart choice!

Yeah, I know, a single-digit loss in a district R’s won by 20 points last year, blah blah blah. Anybody else depressed as fuck right now? We are stuck with Trump and his evil brethren for the foreseeable future, and if there’s anything worse than Trump, it’s Trump thinking he won something. That’s Trump at maximum…

Yeah but will these new Avatars transfer over to my Doritos Crash Course games?

I, for one, am not the least bit scared of getting rid of an international threat who happens to be our president. I’m not down with the concern-trolling and learned helplessness.

But the real question is do I get to keep my silly exclusive items that Ive collected since they first launched?

Yes, I believe that’s the one mentioned in the Atlantic. Notice even this conservative rag didn’t have anything bad to say about it.... it’s not ‘sick’ or ‘treason’ or yada yada.... they’re just ​reviewing a play.

It’s actually the opposite. Politicians and the media think the public is more conservative than it actually is, and part of that problem actually comes from labels. People who support left-wing policies but call themselves Republican, because they have a family history of being Republican.

Except that every poll that focuses on actual issues and concrete proposals shows that the country’s opinion looks like a Bernie stump speech. It is only a highly refined propaganda machine that keeps us divided.

The Democrats here need to take a lesson from Corbyn. Stop being centrist conservatives and people will turn out! And we’re going to need a huge number of voters to overcome the gerrymandering, voter suppression, and other shenanigans the GOP is going to pull over the next four years.

I think your assertion that this is one big excuse for Democratic loss, therefore it’s all bullshit is off. There’s many things going on and it’s disingenuous to chalk it up to “sour grapes.” Untangle all the different topics.
