This is a private citizen, not the campaign itself. You’re seriously grossed out that someone would use a dating app to talk about something substantial?

Seems odd that our life is inundated with corporate messaging and you are put off by the future of the United States being shoved in your face.
And people still doubt Bernie can make a difference.
If you have any experience with this phenomenon—if someone used OKCupid to persuade you to vote Trump, even—please let us know in the comments.
This was a huge thing on one of Bernies facebook meme groups. People posted pictures of their attempts, some of them were pretty great actually. It seems to have died down lately (as in within the past three days) as the group has gotten bigger. Kidz and their memes amirite?
It’s the opposite in that they are not involving themselves with the politician that they perceive ‘the boys’ are interested in, but going out and trying to win boys over to their preferred candidate. They are trying to mold, not being molded. I don’t think using Tinder, etc. is a good idea, but it’s not anything like…
And for the first time ever, multitudes of women are blocked on dating apps by men.
Correct. DeRay doesn’t care about black people as much as he cares about making sure you know how awesome and righteous he is.
I feel like a lot of leftwing identity politics can veer towards ad homs. Like, it is good to be skeptical of people’s motives and there are a few black people who are very skeptical of Deray. Deray is going to get way worse criticism from black Baltimorians when he runs for mayor. I mean, Deray tweets about Spotify.…
You know another thing that gives off a smell? A white male telling one of the top voices in a black social rights movement that their attempt to influence political change is selfish.
He’s a TFA kid from Bowdoin...
I think you just confirmed Greg’s point.
I love how you all have been conspicuously ignoring these great articles about St. Ta-Nehisi of the 14e Arrondissement, Charger of $100k Speaking Fees Since His New Book:
McKesson’s run for Mayor of Baltimore, as powerful a symbolic message as it might look to be, falls right into a long tradition of strident activism being replaced by a movement of the few directly into the what’s often called the “professional-managerial class.” A handful of notable individuals emerge from the…
The movement is a joke. The media and politicians eat these idiots up. All police shootings are bad and some are outright executions. But problems in black/poor communities are so much more significant than these encounters. Bad schools, bad air, bad diets, bad or non existent parents, access to illegal guns, war on…
Certain young people have been trained to despise other young people by the entrenched centrist leadership of their sector (media, politics, consulting, data, whatever), and lots of writer/political people have revolving-door industry friends who would be employed by the Clinton apparatus. You can’t expect them to not…
The message suggests that mature, realistic, practical people, seeing that they may be unable to accomplish what they want, just give up. And thus, they achieve all their goals, by not having any. Or as Bart Simpson said, “Can’t win, don't try."
A well-heeled person with a cushy six-figure job at a snotty magazine catering to rich people is shitting on people who support Sanders?
Color me shocked!
How on earth can you be undecided? Please explain.
It’s a really weird narrative considering that Bernie has a longer and better record of effective and bipartisan action in congress. Clinton’s probably better at making the executive branch dance, which is also really important, but this is kinda Bernie’s jam.
