To be fair, even that first premise is questionable. Which is why I agree about staying in the Senate or private sector - he’s a better activist than he is a legislator, team builder, policy wonk, etc.

Yes, as I recall, Bernie Sanders was in fact the progressive visionary behind Hillarycare! And remember when he won the 2016 primaries?!?

Bernie has fought for progressive causes all his life.  Terrific.  Let him continue to do so from the Senate.  Or as an elder statesman in the private sector.  He shouldn’t be the Democratic Party candidate for president.

This article makes me feel like if I’m not supporting him then it must be because I just don’t “like” the guy. I’m not supporting him for the DEM2020 Primary for a whole bunch of reasons and “likability” is not one of them.

This stuck out for me as patently untrue:

Honestly, fuck body positivity. Fats built a community and SURPRISE! straight size people with the privilege that comes along with that diluted it down to nothing and made those very fats feel unwelcome.

This line of argument (“girls can hit me, but I can’t hit them back, isn’t that so unfair”) bothers me so much. Partly, because no one should hit anyone outside of self-defense and nazis. But mostly because look at any statistic about violence. Men hit women all the time. Much more often than the other way around.…

Jezebel-writers, stop fucking publishing stuff that makes her dad money and invades her privacy, like publishing her private correspondence specifically asking him to stop selling any scrap, true or untrue, for money to the press.

Chris Pratt is free, of course, to believe whatever he likes and talk about whatever he wants, but this making a big show of talking about his religion and praying before reporters during interviews is exactly what Jesus said not to do.

I’m always a little suspicious of relationships when discussions of them involve repeatedly stating that not everything is perfect and sometimes you don’t like the person, etc. When you feel the need to say things like that over and over, often unprompted (which may or may not have happened in this interview, I…

While I’m not condoning bullying, it at least provides me with some comfort that the kids are anti trump. 

It IS absolutely unlistenable, but then again I would argue everything they have put out for the last decade is. I may be a millennial, but my other gen X friends are making similar rumblings as well.

My argument is, if the tracks they cover are so great (yet so uninspired), why not just listen to the originals? What…

The hostility isn’t really about what he did. Entitled, rage-inducing smirks are entirely legal, and we’d have to throw every teenager in jail if they weren’t.  It’s about a busload of Chads from Saint Brettster of the Boof’s Date Rape Academy digging into the 100% tax-deductible collection plate at Our Lady of…

What’s it like being this naive in TYOOL 2019?

When that video came out, one of the first articles right at the top said,“Um, isn’t’ this just a little creepy considering his past?”

Except the dumb shit he did was a crime and I would expect more from his apology since he wasn’t prosecuted or sued for it. 

me too

Just FYI, when I get back to my computer from the bus stop I’m gonna ban everyone who came here to defend this doofus. Thanks.

Judging from Can You Ever Forgive Me? and Spy and Bridesmaids and The Heat and her appearances on SNL and her cameo in This is 40... I’m starting to think that MAYBE, just maybe, Melissa McCarthy isn’t the main problem when she appears in a bad movie.
