This is my entire problem with politics. And I think it is A LOT of peoples problem with politics. It is just a big bullshit game of, WELL IF THEY CAN BE TERRIBLE WE SHOULD TOO. Like yes, other people do really shitty unethical things that doesn’t mean it is okay. That doesn’t mean it is right and nothing will ever…

I hear a lot about ‘Bernie bros’ and how intolerant his supporters are but HOLY CRAP, I see so many people attacking his views and his supporters. This whole things is so gross.

So because we're poor we shouldn't donate to what we believe in? Fuck off

yeah, the working poor shouldn’t be allowed to donate to campaigns, because apparently you know what’s best for them.

So if Hillary wins she’ll owe favours to Wall Street, big oil and big pharma. If Bernie wins, he’ll owe favours to...the working poor.

I think it’s obscene that you think so little of the opinions of the working poor.

I gave another hundred to Sanders this weekend. Every week I give something. I’ll never ever give a dime to Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a terrible politician and will lose a close race. They are always close races.

Yeah... You didn’t support Sanders. But the down ticket talking point is better than most, so, kudos.

I ACTUALLY READ THIS PIECE! It’s good. It taps into the process very well, and it specifically mentions the identity politicking we saw in 2008 against Obama—the same kind we’re seeing now.

That’s not true. These big ticket fundraisers are an end run around campaign finance laws to get more money to Mrs. Clinton’s campaign. It’s akin to money laundering. The DNC/DCCC/DSCC don’t care about down ballot races. They have not even bothered to field candidates for a lot of congressional seats. In other cases,…

I dunno what happened to Jezebel since I got re-grayed, but it seems that right-wing apologetics have taken over and a $350,000-per-chair fundraiser—even unholy by Republican standards—is now just “how the sausage gets made”.

When Herr Trump is being inaugurated next year, because the democratic base will not turn out to vote for Wall Street’s favorite shill, I’m sure you’ll still be blaming everyone but her (Obama won Democrats but lost both Republicans and Independents and still won comfortably, something that nobody has ever done before…

You can be whatever you want when you grow up,” without lying

Weird Billy Corgan story:

I kind of hate to be a spoil-sport here, but the linked article says that the course was designed by Navy Seals, not for them. It appears this is a civilian racing event a la Tough Mudder. Still very impressive, but not actually a part of Navy Seal training.

Well, y’see, it IS actually completely different than stealing. A plane ride has a cost. A copy of a digital file has none. You cannot compare the taking of a tangible good or service versus the copying of a digital file. They are completely different things.

If you steal a physical item, there is an associated loss…

Ever since they fucked over The Honest Toddler, I hate them.

It is no different than stealing anything else your broke ass can’t afford.

Okay, I have officially reached my Jessica Alba Saturation Point. The header photo here is what turned the corner, for some reason. She’s never been much of an actress, but I found her inoffensive enough, until this very minute. She is now on my I Just Hate Her Face list.
