I’m happy they’re happy but the implications about the replaceability of women here are very questionable and uncomfortable.

a friend of mine that worked in a small company with me got one paid week. grudgingly. his baby was in the NICU that entire week.

plenty of people i know personally IN WISCONSIN (you know, one of the states that flipped the election) thought and said this out loud. regularly.

“Nope, Jill Stein Is Not Quite Done Enraging You”

oh and also most of our polling places are in churches which has, in studies, been proven to make people vote more conservatively. don’t underestimate the stupid little things. we have them all.

georgia voter (not in the 6th though so don’t blame me) here: ossoff’s ads were all about issues and policy. handel’s ads were all about how ossoff is a liberal (basically, appeals to tribal politics). dems need a more compelling storyline because the word liberal is still a dirty word down here. issues and policy are…

obviously when dudes say they’re giving an objective perspective it’s definitely for realz objective.

chris pine used to be my third favorite chris (ahead of chris pratt who has made too many douchey public statements for me to like). recently, however, a friend of mine told me they were drinking buddies in college and he was super nice but NOT attractive at the time (skinny, acne, etc). that makes me assume he is…

having not read the book, it sounds insufferable, but i feel particularly irritated with the response to chronic illness being “im gonna travel a lot so that i can make sure my marriage goes well!” what a ridiculously classist solution. you know what happens when normal people are diagnosed with a major illness? they…

bernie bros exist and being “liberal” or “progressive” (or whatever stupid shit they call themselves) doesn’t innoculate you from sexism and racism! SCANDAL. WE NEVER KNEW.

the house of representatives has to start the impeachment process and there must be a 2/3rds supermajority in the senate to impeach him. since both the house and senate are currently run by republicans you can safely assume it won’t happen anytime soon-they literally put party before country.

because women are just surrogates for their husbands and men are individuals who have potential and didn’t really mean it. duh.

and the fact is we still feel like we HAVE TO ADD “was she perfect?” which, whatever, i’m fucking sick of saying no she wasn’t perfect. nobody prefaces comments about bernie fucking sanders with “was he perfect?” even though it is self evident that nobody is perfect.

i refuse to have to bow down to the anger of fake…

because she didn’t. she conceded before the convention (in early june, the convention was august). sanders went all the way to the convention at the end of july. the media coverage of her choice to go as far as she did was largely unfavorable (i remember this quite clearly, and i was an obama supporter). the media…

frankly they both ran on white populism so you’re not wrong in lumping them together. there are reasons sanders was more popular in predominantly white states. 

but she WAS relatable in the 90s before public life got to her. republicans and the media have shredded her actual personality for literally DECADES. her entire personality became subsumed by having to act like the perfect politician’s wife with no personal will or political ambition. do you think you could face that…

just fyi this is a pretty TERF-y statement. you may be interested in googling about how trans women feel about the idea that they have had male privilege

there are large numbers of scientists at risk of losing millions of dollars in grants and possibly/probably their jobs due to trump and republican science budget cuts, and that is just on the local level where i live. it isn’t just factory workers who get upset about losing their jobs, you know, even if that is the…

yeah how did this argument go for hrc supporters last year?

man lambasts woman as “not a real progressive” for compromising on economic issues. 6 months later man begins compromising women’s rights and lambasts all women who care as unwilling to compromise.
