In all fairness, Sanders has consistently disagreed with several of Obama’s policies. In this case, he actual his expressing 100 percent support for Garland while also - and honestly - expressing his own preference should he become president.

“Smells decisive”

Thought I could handle it, but the basicness of the names in the sand pic is aneurysm inducing.

I’m...I’m a woman. A feminist radical one at that. How is any of what I said gendered? She disgusts me because, when it comes to her domestic policy, she understands progressive issues and she either purposely avoids fighting for them because of her monied interests or she remains neutral on them for political…

Nothing in her history shows a commitment to anything but what is popular and/or heavily financed. If the country moves further right, she’ll move right along with it.

As a fellow POC, I too am disappointed. I’m not surprised, but there is certainly a level of sadness in me right now.

As a black Sanders supporter, I’m disappointed. I don’t believe that Hillary will help protect black people from institutional racism as much as Bernie would so I see this as a safety issue. It’s disappointing that Sanders couldn’t build off his momentum in Michigan more, but...

I want this to be a real thing, but much sooner than the year 3000.

Can I still buy a Camaro in the year 3000? What version iPhone are we on? Did the Cubs ever win a World Series?

If they can’t have any poc actors because of ‘authenticity’ (lol) then what is preventing them from having a diverse production crew? Is there not a single way to employ a person of colour?

My fantasy of a textbook from the future (let’s say the year 3000):

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. You are seriously defending this? There are a MILLION things she could have said about Reagan that are true. ‘Strong first lady, amazing courage during her husband’s assassination attempt’ and she went for this. How do you think you are progressive and spout this kind of stuff?

Has HRC ever done anything wrong in…

“I’m a member of the privileged majority of this profession (not female) benefiting from sexism and sighed for at least the ten minutes it took me to read this piece. I would be completely deflated for sighing so long should I have not been full of hot air in the first place. I am taking one person’s chronicled…

Just because the publishing industry is heavily female, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be deeply sexist when it comes to their impressions of male versus female writing, and what will sell.

“Certainly, structural sexism exists in ______, but you’re overstating it”

Name one real, published writer who could be described as “weak-willed” and “fears real work.” It’s literally fucking impossible, because the act of writing a novel requires a tremoundous amount of willpower and hard work.

Oh boohoo, it’s pretty clear from studies AND anecdotes that the publishing industry has a heavy bias AGAINST women. Don’t blame them for your inability to move past your biases, and sure as hell don’t bitch and moan about that exact bias being discussed.

In all honesty, this is part of the reason I am stalling on writing a novel. I am in serious fear I will never be able to sell it as general fiction once they figure out that I am, 1) a female, and 2) Black. Even though the novel I have half written could apply to anyone, it will be genre marketed to death, if it is…

Every time I hear about “present exactly the same person/work but trick the decision-maker into believing the person is male (/white/able-bodied/straight)” experiments I want to scream and shove it in everyone’s faces. People spend so much time and energy saying “women (/PoC/etc) just don’t try as hard / don’t care as…
