the new york times can go fuck themselves as far as i am concerned. they earned a healthy sense of continuing skepticism from me after they ran an editorial in favor of the iraq war. the hatchet job they did on hillary clinton last year, though, was dangerously irresponsible and frankly inexcusable.

whenever people blame women from now on for not leaving abusers, i’m just going to send them this fucking article.

yup, was coming here to say this. women would immediately be as underrepresented as racial minorities (whether that is fair to racial minorities is another discussion)

preach!

duh.

youre not convincing the douchebags who think they did nothing wrong by voting third party, but you are the salve to the souls of those who fought for over a year to wake those fucking morons up. so thanks.

guys, it all becomes way more clear when you take into consideration the republicans’ not-so-secret eugenics agenda.

i am genuinely struggling to understand how the “all you striking ladies are privileged” story is different from the “all you pink-hatted ladies are privileged” story, to be frank. not that i have any way of proving it but i would be totally unsurprised to discover that all those folks that got raked over the coals…

that is their first priority but they have me pretty convinced that controlling women and minorities are numbers 2 and 3

as i will continue to tell people, federal law only matters inasmuch as anyone at the top is willing to enforce it... which is to say that right now that means not at all.

i attended a public high school for a year and a half and a private high school for 2 and a half years. i am speaking from very real experience when i say that the private high school disadvantaged me academically speaking.

i started algebra in 7th grade on an advanced track (in public school) that put me in pre-calc…

that’s pretty much what i sound like right now so i find this eminently relatable.

a generic dem vs a generic republican.

i agree that the 20+ years of right-wing burning hatred were her largest problem. i disagree with the implication that she intentionally didn’t run a good ground game. every polling firm overestimated her numbers, along with every media source—even nate silver who was considered…

if you read nate silver with any regularity you should know that in a “generic” race with obama coming out of the WH, ANY dem would have had a hard time winning. so frustrating to see people completely disregard that we had already started at a disadvantage and then also had RUSSIA, WIKILEAKS, the fucking FBI (for…

i’ve seen whiteboards as well - easy to re-use for different protests!

yes, obviously bernie sanders handing trump supporters a narrative of “she stole the election” had nothing to do with it. it’s not like you can read any subset of breitbart comments and still, TODAY, see a shitload of rightwing nutjobs saying how the DNC is corrupt and under hillary’s thumb.

Whenever Trump listens to someone else speak, he looks like he’s dying inside because he can’t handle not being the center of attention. It’s really rather remarkable.

oh this explains SO MUCH about johnny depp’s career for the last ten years

she has not been fully confirmed; the senate still has to vote. it’s a slim hope but not no hope.
