For the record, I wasn’t a GoT fan and don’t give a shit about Weiss and Benioff. But I hate the terrible logic in articles like these. I’ll focus on two issues:

So who will we ever be allowed to be excited about? These articles are not being tempered with the reality of the caliber of politicians in this country. Barack Obama’s record is mixed but it doesn’t make his candidacy/presidency less historic or less exciting. Abraham Lincoln was an abolitionist but he didn’t think…

I realize Jez has been leaning extra-hard into that “cool girl” edge but making fun of a 16 year old victim of stalking and harassment is not a good look.

Not sure why a teenager and her family getting death threats warrants a cutesy headline.

Very confused as to why we are poking fun of parents protecting a minor child (and...making fun of that minor child) who has been experiencing death threats. Do not understand why the journalist or the editor thought this was remotely ethical.

There’s a lot going on right now with the police and, I suppose, influencers that warrants outrage. This isn’t one of them. Her family is paying police for extra staffing against a scary stalker. I can’t criticize either the influencer or the police in this particularly situation. The click-bait headline (“funds”),…

Banning the comment won’t make it not true.

Rinse, repeat. This is 2016 all over again. Anyone who had Bernie Bro friends on Facebook back then (i.e. everyone posting here) knows that the Bros bit even harder on the Hillary conspiracy theories than the right wing did. For the obvious reason: the target of those lies wasn’t people on the right, who were already…

To be fair the suggestion that she was in poverty seems to be more Jezebel nonsense (who long have had an issue admitting when they are wrong or that certain women are in fact probamatic to say the least, and not everything is black or white) than White nonsense.

Try harder, try hard. I’m saying that this particular person was not impoverished not that no white people are poor. It’s insulting to anyone who is or has been in poverty. Like, actually infuriating. Tara Reade’s life has been drenched in privilege. She got to act as an “expert witness” without one person checking…

/hits Control + F and types “Putin”

yeah, I agree with this read of the situation. Like you could get to the end of this Jezebel piece and feel reasonably sure she grew up dirt poor, even though there’s nothing to really indicate that. Like... she was working for Joe Biden very early on in her career. This isn’t a normal sign of being held back.

I don’t disagree that class is an issue. I don’t disagree that there are no perfect victims. I don’t even disagree that she has lived a hard and sad life.

You know, I can understand how, at first glance, the NYT piece can read as classist.

I swear this dead horse will come back to life if I just beat it a couple more times. 

Tulsi should go back to her cult where she came from.

Filing frivolous lawsuits to shore up your fading political career, also known as “the Devin Nunes Gambit”.

You know, when I first saw and heard her I liked Tulsi Gabbard. And I have my problems with Hillary Clinton. But then someone told me about Gabbard and Syria and I read up a bit. Then I found out that Gabbard got elected to her first public office by taking a stand against Gay Marriage. Like that was her main campaign…

I was diagnosed with mets dec 31st last week, after eight years cancer free. I know I should feel sorry for her, but I’m just scared for myself
