I am a full on Bernie supporter, love the man and his ideas, the presence be brings to the world, and his quirky mind. But I voted for Hillary, because anything else was a vote for Trump. I voted for Biden, even though there’s nothing I particularly like about him, because anything else was a vote for Trump.

This would be fatal to any Democrat, and probably some Republicans. But for rank and file Republicans, and certainly for Donald Trump, it will be meaningless.

You seem to be under the sad and extreme misapprehension that democracy the US works on a “proportional representation” basis. It does not. In works in an deeply archaic representative democracy way, and is subject to extreme gerrymandering and voter suppression.

They’ve already protected themselves from that. Abortion is still legal in Kansas so the GOP faction in KS re-drew the voting districts to dissect the liberal strongholds that have historically kept abortions legal. The liberal gov tried to veto it but was overruled. Liberals sued but a GOP appointed judge upheld the…

ship done sailed.

I wish I was more surprised. Progress is not inevitable and I really think this country as we know it will be ending sooner than anyone expected. 

Ironically led by a black man. Originalists suck, it's not 1776 anymore, the first draft of the constitution was pretty messed up.

Truly curious when this will boil over into an actual uprising. Not just large nationwide marches with clever protest signs, but an actual “fuck this shit” uprising. The MAGA crowd instantly blew up into violent skirmishes over the small inconvenience of being asked to wear a mask as a public safety precaution during…

They know what they are doing. They know what the consequences are. They are completely aware. They are evil psychopaths and fascists and they do not care about anyone but themselves. If they could squeeze money out of the blood of their fellow fascists and psychopaths they would. They are banking on their victims…

Then again she probably doesn’t want to be hit with 10 million more death threats.

I believed her from the beginning. It’s so unfair the way she’s become the witch to publicly burn. There is evidence at the very least of mutual abuse, as well as massive evidence of Depp’s vile misogyny and drug/alcohol-fueled rages over decades, so the PR campaign to paint her as the aggressor and him as an innocent…

Absolutely. I also completely believe her. Given the $15 million payment that they came up with in 10 minutes it seems pretty obvious that they were following this in the internet even though they weren’t supposed to.

I believe her when she says she was assaulted by Johnny. I feel bad for her that not only do people not believe her, they are abusing her even more. Its not right and not fair.
The outcome would have been different if the juror were sequestered. 

Is she referring to the jury that probably broke the rules and read about the trial on the internet and discussed with friends and family when they were specifically told not to? The same jury that took less than 10 minutes to come up with a $15 million penalty for her?  Well, she’s a lot more forgiving than I am.…

I love J.Lo, would even consider myself a fan. But I’m also a realist and let’s be very real - J.Lo is an A list celebrity that will never have the awards to “prove” her A list celebrity status. Her singing is not deserving of a Grammy, no role in a movie she has done deserves an Oscar, no role on TV has deserved an…

Johnny Depp is the grossest POS around. Add this verdict and the whole circus trial to the list of things that make me feel like David at the Dentist every minute of the God damn day. So sorry for what this verdict means to victims of domestic assault. /rant

For the love of G-d, can we please quit seeing articles that normalize Johnny Depp? How so many people - women especially - can engage in his horrific gaslighting of women in his life is baffling to me.

No, dude. The point is that the mega yacht industry is not suffering, it is booming. An industry that is objectively bad for the planet. Using billionaires money to build a floating phallus that consumes dozens of thousands of dollars of diesel fuel (or even worse if bunker oil) with basically zero emissions controls…

The vast majority of sexual and partner-on-partner violence is comitted by men on women.

Holy crap!
