I do want it said and again and again how this has nothing to do with conventional politics. Trump isn’t just wrong or bad (or even primarily wrong or bad) because he’s a Republican. He’s bad because he’s just a shitty human being who just so happens to have hijacked politics.

He literally said her father wasn’t a war hero because he was captured.

Republicans are putting plans into motion to prevent Democrats and leftists in liberal cities from enacting laws that are in opposition to the federal and state laws created by Republicans.

Hey, props to you for maintaining optimism that it will only be four years, because it will probably be eight.

I mean, presumably the cable read: “On January 21st, all ambassadors will be formally recalled. Make plans accordingly.”

Good. They damn well deserve to be charged with hate crimes. Maybe in the future, right-wing internet commenters will actually wait at the very least 24 hours before screaming about how the police are biased against white people. Not wasting my breath, though.

One problem with elite is they always want to talk about actual news stories. We have to reach out to whites where they live—comment sections.

I was just talking to someone who works at Simon & Schuster as a publicist and is not happy that they are doing this. I hate the whole “withhold judgment until they have had a chance to read the actual contents of the book.” We know what he is about! He has made himself very clear. It normalizes hate-speech. Yes yes…

Yes, unions vs. transgender bathroom rights, the classic “either-or” choice.

Having seen the Rockettes perform, it’s not a skeezy thing. Yes, dancers wear tight and sometimes revealing clothing. But the audience did not mirror a 2 am strip club crowd— it’s families.

Fuck that shit. I give the office as much respect as the person holding it.

I think a lot of performers are refusing to play for Trump because of their respect for the office of the President.

Opinions should based on facts. I, and most other liberals, can and will accept factual arguments. This is just a bunch of brain diarrhea based on a fundamental misunderstanding of reality.

A lot of times the reasons people brush off accusations racism/sexism/whatever is because people don’t think they could be racist or sexist or whatever, and refuse to even entertain the possibility - it’s a lack of self-reflection, not a lack of actual validity in the accusation.

Can we please just stop acting surprised that the DNC supported the candidate who had been a Democrat for decades over the one who had joined the party just for that election? No fucking shit they did.

Hmmm, I wasn’t insulting her. I like her, I just don’t think that all of the people who TOTALLY wanted to vote for her in 2016 actually will if she does run.

Had Elizabeth run I could have cast a vote for a nationalist, a populist, a thoughtful and honorable person who carries with her no sense of superiority or pretension.

Also, this:

If you think they’re going to blame their Trump vote when their benefits get cut, you’re more optimistic than I am.
