“These aren’t uncommon reactions for people who have suffered violence at the hands of sexual or romantic partners (and attacking a sexual assault victim’s credibility is a defense tactic as common as it is ugly).”

i want to see justice for those victims, but no judge is going to hand a conviction out with an email literally asking for more.

Something something good guy with an electric saw something something

He is called the worst president ever because thats what the republicans called him. He was FAR from the worst. Things outside of his control and Reagan being a dirty prick gave his tenure a sense of failure.

There’s definitely some blind hope, I’d agree. I’m someone who distrusts Democrats and did not vote for Obama (or anyone else) in 2008 and 2012 because I don’t buy into lesser evilism. What I don’t get about Hillary supporters, though, is if you acknowledge that a Republican congress will agree to nothing except the…

I am a woman who is going to vote democrat and full disclosure kind of a socialist at heart due to my hippie-ass california upbringing and I’ll vote for Hillary if she gets the nom, but like... I really really really dont like how much money she takes from Wall St. If all other things bw her and Bernie were the same,…

Jimmy Carter was a good president and an even better human being. Why do people keep shitting on him?

While neglecting the role the Clinton’s played in continuing to tack right in the 1990's...

Robert Reich, who I really like, suggested that the Bernie revolution will lead to more progressives in congress, allowing Bernie to basically enact everything he wants....which like, I suppose could happen, but it doesn’t seem like a wise idea to rely on that possibility.

Obama was a junior Senator with a minimal record who was a lawyer from the Chicago Democratic machine. Anyone who thought he’d be anything other than what he turned out to be was delusional. Even knowing that, I still voted for him twice (breaking my long streak of protest voting for third parties) because he was…

Which is why I'm supporting Sanders in the primary. I don't see him as being any less hamstrung by his platform or socialist label than Hillary is by her baggage, so as far as I'm concerned I might as well vote for the person I believe is going to push harder for the things I want to see done. And again, even if he…

Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

I feel like this Bernie/Hillary debate is neither here nor there because whichever one of them wins, none of us are voting in the general for the dude who is going to appoint four more Scalias anyway. Still, the debate is incredibly interesting to me, if only in how it contrasts with where we were eight and 12 years…

the outsized political hope that “youth” have before they realize that every politician is a shill, nobody with real values is actually electable, and also that God Is Dead.

Ya, I mean, it seems inappropriate because he’s supposed to be a professional journalist or whatever, but it was New Year’s, she was wearing a bra, everyone was drunk. Who cares?

He is the worst for other reasons, but she took off her top and she has breast implants. Come on. Do you really think she was offended? She was prancing around topless. And I say this as someone who is a sex-worker.

Please. She took her top off in the middle of hosting a live tv show. Her tits were fair game. There is nothing offensive about what he said.

Read it. Should’ve just got the stake ready.

When I watched a low-bitrate version of Star Wars on my computer last year, I too felt it was horribly dated and was really hokey and lame. I couldn’t have agreed with you more.
