Right! Becky is literally JUST a descriptor. At worst Becky is just to define a certain type of white woman. Becky is a archetype.

I’m imagining Trump not getting any words out, just a bunch of angry sputtering.

Seeing Hillary take down Trump in debates is going to be glorious. I mean, her epic side eyes from the Benghazi hearings are a damn inspiration.

Hillary has been my senator twice. I’ve seen her in debates for a good many years now. It’s her best skill, in terms of campaigning. No way at all that grade-school taunts and frat-boy nicknames are going to muss one hair on her head. She’s been dealing with bullies and smears, been called a murderer and a crook by…

I know this is a way that people seem bizarrely reluctant to put it but: YOU GUYS. WE ARE ELECTING THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT.

This article sums up my feelings right now: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/…

You think you’re not saying it in a coded way, but you are wrong. You’ve just internalized the code in such a way that you’re now blind to it.

But you know as well as I do that when people disregard “race, sex, or any other consideration” they hire white men. That’s what that language means. That’s what you’ve absorbed, whether you want to admit it or not. That’s how you fully justify all white male cabinets, boards, workplaces. That’s how you justify sexism…

To all the guys who go around swearing they’re feminists, take some notes. This is how to be an ally.

You and me both, sister. Eddie Izzard better stay safe.

“Do you really want Sanders to go independent? I don’t think so.”

It’s too late for him to get on any state ballot as an independent, so you’ll have to wait until next time. Your threats are meaningless in 2016, so don’t pull it. I would have preferred if he ran as an Independent because it would have been honest. He has spent his career excoriating the Democratic party as immoral…

One of my big issues with Bernie is that he’s talking about a political revolution and all the things that need to happen, and it’s not just that he doesn’t seem to have a viable plan from the White House level, he’s not even helping to get other progressives elected in order to get this done. The president is the…

What, exactly, does the VRA have to do with voting in primaries? They don’t impact your right to vote in actual elections. Primaries are selection processes for political parties, not elections. By the way, Independents and Greens can form their own parties to vote for their own candidates. What’s wrong with doing…

They are fools. These contests are for parties to nominate a candidate. They only have a case for voter suppression if they are prevented from voting in the general election. They have a right to vote in the general election, but they do not have a constitutional right to vote in primaries as parties are not public…

If one more Bernie bro tells me I just haven’t read the right article otherwise I’d be a convert too, I am going to scream

You know what’s most hilarious about this? Sanders supporters are going to be the ones most impacted by this because Hillary wins Democrats over him. Sanders groupies are always smugly chiding people to “do their research” but couldn’t be bothered to do the research in the states in which they want to vote. The New…

YES, thank you. This is definitely special little snowflakes wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Either disavow parties and, depending on your state, your role in the primary process or fucking register as a Democrat for fuck’s sake. Either way, don’t offensively shout “OMG Voter Suppression!!!1!11!!!” like an…

Plus I have a hard time sympathizing with registered independents in closed primary states. Not wanting to be labeled even though there are literally no consequences or obligations associated with party affiliation feels so ridiculously precious and self indulgent. Registering with a party is even less onerous than…

People forget that once upon a time in New York elections were outright rigged, like dead people voting, voting multiple times, all of that. The closed primary and early registration deadline were put in place to protect against a real injustice of fixed elections.
