I agree. There are some who, once you say you’re liberal, they dig their heels in the ground and just automatically dismiss you. But, I do know some who are open to friendly discussion / debate and have an open mind. But, it’s when they hear the sentiment of “all Republicans are racist homophobes who hate poor…

Yeah, but I think you might’ve just proved my point.

What you did in voting against your interests may be altruistic, but then when you make comments about letting the red states secede (and probably fail), that’s when they get angry.

They aren’t going to see your voting record. They will see (and hear) the comments…

What interests? I’m honestly curious, because, that’s essentially lumping Bernie voters and Hillary voters under the same umbrella. (And no, I’m not trying to make this a Bernie v. Hillary debate; I’m just saying that while there is some overlap in that Venn diagram, pre-convention, economically, they were vastly…

Reading the article, I kept thinking, “There’re other ways to serve an individual, even if you can’t locate them, but maybe due to my professional background, it’s not a well-known fact.”

I’m not sure if it comforts me or disturbs me to know that other commenters jumped in before me to state the same.

When it comes to…

This sentiment is exactly why Democrats lost.

The elitism of “we don’t need those backwater rubes because we know and are so much better than them” fueled the Republican outrage.

How do you not get this?

While I don’t aspire to be a single-issue voter, this is pretty much my main concern when I cast my ballot, but for Congress as well.

Legislature can be changed, and while rulings can be overturned, I feel like the legacy of a politician is more closely tied with the judiciary, as legislation can be challenged in the…

Do you want poltergeists?

Because that’s how you get poltergeists.

So, can we talk about Janet?

Was Janet good or bad? And was Bad Janet a computer, or another actress?

I could see Janet being bad, in that, in giving Eleanor hope (and starting the whole “piecing things together again,” she’s just gonna be the cause of more turmoil / agony. But, you could also view it through the lens…

I worry this show has made me “that person” who keeps raving about it, and annoying friends and co-workers who haven’t seen it, because...

“You haven’t seen it?!?! You have to! It’s SO GOOD! But, I can’t tell you what it’s about outside of the initial premise, and you have to watch the full season, in order, or you…

As long as one of the dog’s lives has him as the dog in Independence Day, I’m in!

That’s amazing. Loving her more and more.

Not sure if I agree with this. I agree that it is bullying to shame someone for something that can’t help, but if you make a conscious decision to wear a burlap sack covered with horseshit, you’d better believe I’m gonna make a comment about it.

My apologies.

I can’t stop laughing. If I can just keep this up for four years, maybe I won’t have a mental breakdown.

That’s just where we will have to agree to disagree.

My grandmother lived in a predominantly black neighborhood and most of her friends were black. One time, they were discussing a BBQ restaurant and talked about how good it was. Before she went, she called and asked “Do you serve white people?” They immediately hung…

Because, it’s a stereotype. I’ll give you that. What I’m saying is that she may not have meant for it to be insulting.

You know, it’s possible to think “Well, I’ve heard that black people like fried chicken and watermelon, so maybe that should be the special on this holiday,” and not mean it as an insult. It’s a…

You know what? I’m starting to grow a little optimistic about this administration.

Maybe they’ll be so inept, they won’t realize the extent of the power they wield, or, maybe they just won’t know how to do their jobs to enact the policies and changes they are promoting.

No, we haven’t established that at all. That’s my whole point.

Intent is the key factor.

If I honestly and in all good faith ask you when you are due, and you’re just fat, but not pregnant, am I intentionally insulting you?
