Yeah, honestly, that made me mad for several reasons. First off, even if there were some magical world where conservatives were always reasonable or persuadable when it came to women’s reproductive choices, the economic and political advancement of people of color, non-Christians, LGBT people, etc, and that’s…

That really was the dumbest part of what he wrote. Balance for the sake of balance is not a virtue, and it’s not a map toward progress, either. If we just automatically alternate between liberal and conservative, we’ll get a cycle of each new administration working to undo what the last did rather than move forward to…

hahaha! No. I wish! That won’t happen. People like this will continue to expound on their “ideals” and how, if anyone had listened to them, we’d be okay. He’ll never see he helped create the problem.

He definitely will. The GOP will get Rubio as their favored candidate via a contested convention and Trump will create the Trump Party (appropriate acronym: TP). TP will run against the Dems and GOP, splitting the GOP vote, and handing the Dems a win (*crosses fingers*).

*sits back and waits for mittens to explain which policies are so different*

Trump is going to run as an independent and I can’t wait.

Vote for the nominee, whether it’s Bernie or Hillary. THEN, if the ideals are really that important, vote in the midterms. Vote in the local races. Work the rest of the year, and not just when it’s all fun and faddish, to bring about change on the local and national level. Run for office yourself.

Also, there could be SCOTUS nominations on the line, which has effects that last longer than a presidential term.

It’s because this person feels he or she (prob. he) won’t be hurt by what would happen next. He’s speaking from privilege. Also, this person is an asshole.

Jesus H. Cristol! Harumph complain harumph complain! I hate it! It looks dumb! I’m disappointed!

Boyega just seems like the nicest guy. I loved him after Attack the Block blew me away putting something random on for Netflix with friends a couple of years ago.

Nope, he was actually trying to get Hillary to spread her insult out to more people to reduce its potency.

Has there been any insight into why she does so well with African American voters given her spotty history regarding their interests? It seems so bizarre to the point of being baffling.

I love the dichotomy of his party boy persona vs. his save-the-earth-we-only-have-one image. I imagine he howled with the boys then was all like “but for real guys, wolves are really endangered.”

This article didn’t answer the question it asks in its title. But lucky for all of us, i know the answer and it’s because of

It’s the internet and this is the Outrage MachineTM.

I remember reading the details of this a few months back and thinking, “What in all the fucks?”

This. For fuck’s sake. We complain there’s not enough diversity, then a gay guy wins an Oscar and people give him shit for not being the Perfect Gay To Win An Oscar and for his imperfect knowledge of gay oscar winners. I mean, I can’t stand the dude’s music either but give me a fucking break.

I really think people should stop criticizing Sam Smith for what was a simple and understandable slip of the tongue. And I can say that with a little bit of gravitas as the first openly gay man on the internet.
