1. Bernie Sanders tried to use his 5 minutes of wokeness in the 1960s before hightailing it to the whitest place on Earth all through the election. And when he wasn’t doing it his fans were falsely trying to lay claim that any white guy in glasses in a photo from any Civil rights march was really Sanders. And he…

When Bernie was on the campaign trail, he gave the same stump speech over and over. He did minimal tailoring of his talks to suit different geographic locations and populations.

I feel I need to remind that no matter what this goes both ways. Just like there are plenty butthurt BernieBros out there, there are just as many Clinton supporters who think she was perfect and completely infallible.

We’re all so proud of your ability to overcome. Your struggle is truly inspiring.

I know we are not the first group of people to take a hurtful and negative word and make it our own, and through that ownership find solidarity and strength. But I would caution you to remember the origins of that word, the original meaning and intent behind it, and to have some empathy and sensitivity towards those…

First, and so obvious that it shouldn’t need to be said, the primary electorate is not the general electorate, so arguing that states “stayed Dem” after the primary is absurd on its face. Second, those midwestern states where the general election was largely decided have an awful lot of black voters, so a Democratic…

It’s not just the savior complex, it’s how he doesn’t do anything at all to talk them down. When they get vicious, he says that their anger is justified. When they caused chaos at the Nevada caucuses, he put more effort into chastising the victims of their temper-tantrum than their impudence. He knew that Russia was…

For the anti-Sanders people, quit fighting a war on two fronts. You are still trying to take on Sanders and Trump. The 2016 primary elections are over. The more you rip on Sanders, the less likely his people are going to be on your side moving forward. Sanders people have far more in common politically with the…

As the child of white, working-class voters, I am so fucking sick of hearing about white, working-class voters.

All of this. And if I hear another bro try to tell me he marched with King, I’m throwing hands.

First of all, lol at your many attempts to make sure the Sanders people don’t flame you. Good luck with that.

Thanks for the flashback. . . and for everything in this article. This article is EVERY SINGLE DANG THING I have been trying to tell my white progressive friends ever since Bernie’s candidacy collapsed into a pile of white tears. I will just say this, regarding Bill Clinton. He was a master politician. Handsome.…

Police: “Freeze!”

Yeah...I sort of hate that this movie is being used as the laundry line that airs these issues. It’s an important point that deserves to be heard, but this is literally the third article I’ve read online about The Big Sick mainly discussing issues with white women/Asian men onscreen. It starts feeling like a…

It’s likely they bought it from Daesh in the first place, though.... Giving them money sure wouldn’t be a flattering look for Hobby either.

I would *really* like to know from whom the Hobby Lobby asswipes bought these artifacts. I have a sick feeling that the answer is ‘Daesh.’

Thou shall not steal motherfuckers. Which commandment is this one?

I think the best critique of this scene isn’t that Sansa was raped, but that Jon Snow and Sam Tarley were not. You know, because this show is all about “realism” but male rape doesn’t exist because the audience would feel uncomfortable with dudes being raped on screen.

I felt like the chief objection to Sansa’s rape was that they panned the camera to Theon’s reaction, as if the trauma was his and not hers. In the long term, they did recover from that unfortunate directing choice and bear out the full weight of what Sansa went through from her POV. It’s still frustrating that most…

Hey, Sophie, you know what else is taboo to discuss?
