To some extent, maybe, but I also think that once Corona hit, people just voted for what felt like the safest bet. I can kind of understand it, but I think everyone must see that playing to the supposed middle keeps losing Democrats elections. Lawrence Welk and Condoleezza Rice will get my vote, but I don’t have much…

I starred just because of centrist Voltron...

“The better mindset to have” will help the human species survive. But it won’t win elections.

You dont say....so gun-nuts, violent or abusive people are drawn into policing in the states?

I used to believe in 3rd parties but after seeing AOC, I realized that the better strategy is to vote in Democratic primaries until you get the kind of Democrats you want lined up for a POTUS run. Also, I learned that Congress is more important than the president anyway.

I’m dead of diabetes by then either way. My only shot was Medicare for All, and black Southern Democrats who won’t provide any Electoral College votes in November took that off the table for me. A big chunk of me wants everyone to suffer as much as I’m going to.

Mrs. Vicious is due in Sept with a baby girl and same thing.  

In San Diego there’s a PUDDING SHOP (a pudding shop!!!)that said they won’t serve uniformed cops and people are losing their fucking minds. Like pudding is a god given right or cops are a fucking protected class.

They are really just Karens wanting to talk to the manager so they will wave the higher prices and give them some desert on the house. They aren’t actually that upset. It is just an act they put on to get discounts and free stuff to shut them up.

You might be able to unequivocally ban student/faculty relationships at a small liberal arts college, but not a place like UMass, which has 30,000 students, including graduate/doctoral students who are often in the same age range as younger faculty.

The complaints are that he matched with people on dating apps. He DMd people (not explicitly stated to be sexual). And he had sex with people at his institution (which is only an issue at his institution if he has power over them).

As someone who works in academia, although currently a national research institute, I cannot put in to words how instantly infuriated I become by someone trying to excuse knowingly having sexual interactions with students of their college, even if they do not teach particular students. It is such a bad situation and…

See that’s a useful comparison to show how ridiculous this is. In descending order of seriousness, Weiner sexted a 15 year old, sent a photo containing his young child, and was cheating on his wife. That’s just not the same kind of behavior. 

Uh, Weiner sent unsolicited pics to adults and minor(s). The closest this guy has done is add “Close Friends” and DM in instagram. Which, in College Political Group circles, direct conversations isn’t anything in particularly out of the norm.

I mean, they have, but there’s also nothing suggesting the students he was involved with were in any way under his supervision, which is required for a faculty/student relationship to be prohibited by the University.

No one is criticizing him for being gay—people, myself included, are criticizing him for gross behavior that leans towards the predatory that, if he were a straight man, would be equally criticized, if not more so.

Dealers, for the most part, want you to finance.

White people chose Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. The vote doesn’t matter in a world where those in power can ignore the rule of law and the electoral college allows them to subvert the people’s will.  Also, thanks for Biden black people!  The creepy uncle who nobody actually wants to be president!
