I wish one person there would address him in front of the whole gang how appalling it is that he, who represents the people, would initiate a change he himself does not back. Despicable.

People in the comments are interpreting “Here’s the thing about being 18 or 19 years old and voting in your first election: it’s difficult to play political catch-up” as meaning “lol it’s difficult to google a candidate teehee” instead of “it’s difficult to realise everything you’ve ever been told as a child might be

It was the cognitive dissonance that finally got to me. Like, there were just so many issues that left me feeling hypocritical, and having them kindly explained without being called an idiot in the process was helpful. Also, learning more about the world and finally meeting and talking to minorities and immigrants

I don’t think she’s blaming others, she’s just highlighting the influence they had on her—she knows that she wasn’t very politically aware, and because she didn’t know enough about it to earnestly care about the issues, she used what resources were near at hand—her family and her boyfriend. I’m glad you made the

That’s not entirely fair—a lot of teens aren’t really educated on the issues, and if their families and friends are conservative and that’s all they know, they’re more likely to lean conservative. I was the same way (sans boyfriend) because I was raised in a very conservative Christian environment. I grew up and then

My best friend and college roommate for three years is a conservative, and was a member of the college Republicans. He was (and is) an exemplary conservative and one whom I wish the party was full of.

She doesn’t like the same things I do, but does? We’re like two opposite sides of the same coin. She prefers fantasy over sci-fi, I prefer sci-fi over fantasy. She prefers turn-based strategy games, I prefer League of Legends. She’s willing to try new stuff, but usually doesn’t necessarily like it and I will. Ruby

Yep, because once you get a “dishonest” narrative to stick, it’s really hard to get rid of it. You say you’re not a liar? Of course you’d say that! You’re a known liar! This is yet another lie!

Except everything they have done is working. Listen to the Bernie Bros who hate Hillary Clinton.

Wouldn’t that have been too perfect for words? Had they given the Taylor Swift award to Kanye. Like I would have floated to sleep on a cloud. The happiest little cloud of pure, unadulterated joy.

“I made a film in Ibiza. To show Kim Kardashian I was cool. When I finally got sober I felt 10 years older but fuck it, it was something to do”

That thing when you read, “Mother to Tinkerbell,” immediately know what the author is referencing, and then wonder why you remember that but not where you put your passport.

My brain is full of useless 2000s information.

Anybody can go to Harvard. I went to Harvard. They were serving overpriced crepes, so I went somewhere else. I went back to Harvard for a smoke. Then I went down to the deli for a sandwich.

This exactly. Well said. I don’t give one single fuck what people change their names to (or don’t), but every single argument men make for why they expect their wives to chnage their name can be flipped around, so how can anyone deny with a straight face that this is based in some old-timey sexist garbage? I’m not

I’ve seen and really don’t get this argument. My last name has been my last name from birth. Just like it was my father’s last name from birth. Is it more “his” last name than mine because he’s a man? Or because he’s older? It’s not “my father’s name”—it’s a whole bunch of “Keyser’s” (men and women) names. Including

THIS! So much this. Men stare at you like you have 17 heads when you suggest they change their last name to hers if it is so damn important that they both have the same name. I literally had one guy say "I couldn't change my name! Its who I am!" with absolutely no sense of irony whatsoever. They just totally expect

While I understand the unity/child surname issue, my biggest issue with the name change is how infrequently it happens in reverse. How many men would be happy changing their surname to that of their wife?

Actually, it’s about ethics in regular journalism.

If Sanders was on the show this article would be going on and on about what a funny old guy he is and how cool it is that Ilana and Abbi support him etc. etc. except we get this. Maybe they respect HRC because they are both women in a male-dominated industry they get all the shit that she has been through and how hard

I’m definitely feeling #1 but from the perspective of the lady. My longterm boyfriend and I don’t really have sex on the reg anymore, and I know it’s my fault. He wants it more than I do, and I feel shitty about it. We used to go at it basically every night, but I started to gain weight from some medication side
