Also, you seem really, really invested that any reservations that anyone might have about her are based on tired “90s” talking points. My areas of concern are from the last 10 years primarily, but thanks for playing.

Nowhere have I vilified Hillary or deified Bernie - but that seems to be the rhetoric that plays best around here. She is not evil incarnate. He is not God. I’ve gone on and on and on about the issues I have with Hillary and at this point, I don’t see any reason to keep rehashing it.

But my Mondale/Ferraro tattoo has hardly faded and looks great when I clench!

I’m not a white dude and I didn’t call you a dude either. I also didn’t call you a racist. And I’m not going to trot out my arguments because, frankly, I’m just so goddamn tired to trying to explain the other side of it to people who won’t assimilate new facts.

Your ability to empathize with other worldviews and your insight into your own chosen candidates very real, very scary, very corrupt practices is staggering. Zealot on with your bad self.

I have done my research. I don’t go in for the superficial stuff. I’ve also worked on more campaigns that I can count on both hands. Bernie’s platform has been scrutinized repeatedly.

“My big plan is to enjoy the fact that we live in the single most powerful and prosperous nation in the history of the world”

Uh, how old are *you*? Because you totally sound like an only sort of older adult who likes to remind those younger than him or her about how “she used to think like that,” back when she was so very innocent and knew nothing of the ways of the world. Condescending much? Also, for the record, I’m an old and get the…

When I moved to Portland from NYC 8 years ago, I had a whole spreadsheet devoted to the costs associated with owning a car. Even with ZipCar fees for occasional big shopping expeditions for heavy things and at least one weekend car rental a month to go to the mountains or the beach, I *still* came out way ahead in…

Yes, it’s not “meant” to be a full time job, even though it’s often replacing one (I know several professional cab drivers who make their living from it), because we now live in the “gig economy,” where we think it’s totally okay for companies to provide less than full time work and thus avoid having to pay any sort…

Seriously! How dare they take a job that they may desperately need, especially if they were previously a taxi driver and now their former employer is out of business, and then see Uber drop their rates, like they’ve done in nearly every city into which they’ve gone, after the honeymoon period! How dare these drivers…

“Bernie spent decades in the Senate and didn’t do fuck or shit.”

Right, talking points as fact.

And here comes the tired old “berniebro” canard. Seriously? I’m a 40+ year old grown ass woman who’s been active in and worked in politics for decades and I’m on team Bernie. Oh, and I also enjoy calm discussions based on facts and not ad hominem attacks and poking dead things with a stick.

I haven’t owned a tv for years. Not that it’s a badge of honor or anything - I just don’t have a lot of money for fancy toys and if I can also watch stuff on my laptop or monitor then that’s money not spent on a tv I can spend on other things. And then I’m also less tempted to park my ass in front of it all of the…

Wah. Just put it in my hand! PUT IT IN MY HAND!

Recycling should always be the last resort for waste - the best response is to not create it in the first place. Recycling these pods will do little to dampen their environmental impact, especially since the aluminum being recycled is a tiny portion of their waste profile.

Word. I had to leave Portland when it became overrun by all the techbros and betties who fled SF. Majorly grody.

I did once trade my window seat for a middle seat to someone who wanted to sit with family - but their middle seat was in the exit row back when those goddamn things were as wide as Roman canals. I’m nearly 6 ft and I could stretch my legs out all the way without touching the seat in front of me with my feet!

I have been sent my share of unsolicited dick pics and videos and shit over the years and I share all that nasty shit with my female friends. Sure, if we’re sending each other hot pixx I’d never share them with anyone else, but you send me a snap of your junk without being asked - it’s practically on the nightly news!
