Well, I was trying to avoid saying his name, but definitely Bernie Sanders. Other than him, they seem to have a genuine love for Elizabeth Warren, and Keith Ellison and Kamala Harris are gaining popularity. Everyone else? I’ve been seeing calls of “Primary their asses!” everywhere. I agree with many of the values,…

No, it’s a fair question, and given the relative new-ness of it, it’s also hard to describe. I would say a general hostility to all things “capitalist”- income inequality tend to be the main focus.  Again, it’s not that I disagree with any of their beliefs, it’s just that their priorities aren’t mine. A good example…

I’m kind of torn on people like Claire McCaskill facing primary challengers. On one hand, yes, you are supposed to lock arms with fellow Democrats and obstruct as much as you goddamn can, Claire. Attempting to stop the Cheeto Commander should be the most basic of your duties. On the other hand though, she’s right to…

“Thanks for the autism!”
-Me, to the nurse who gave me a tetanus booster last month. She was less than amused, lol.

I’ve heard this “logic” before, and it’s such bullshit and doesn’t hold up to the tiniest of scrutiny. Like, ok asshole, a fetus isn’t “my” body, but it’s inside my body, and last I checked, it doesn’t have squatter’s rights. Even if I entertained the idea that it’s a fully autonomous human being (which I don’t, but I…

“the right to life must take precedence over personal autonomy.”

I’ve never heard the debate summed up in a more depressing way. There’s an ugly word for human beings that we’ve decided don’t have a right to personal autonomy. If we don’t have a right over our own self, what do we have?

This is why I am so disappointed that I had previously misread that Jessica Lange, not Susan Sarandon, was playing Bette Davis. Lange would have oozed all over quotes like that.....I am just not sure Sarandon can pull off petty bitchiness.  (Though she did a damn good job at it this last election, ba-dum ching!)

“chief strategist Steve Bannon, who has proudly described himself as “Thomas Cromwell in the court of the Tudors.””

Well, in that case, I look forward to the day when Trump turns on him, and has him executed in a horrible fashion.

Seriously, do these assholes know nothing of history? SMH, why do I even bother…

Someone, anyone, please tell me that someone has set this Nazi’s smackdown to “Cellblock Tango”. If not, please, please, please make it happen. I am an oldz and don’t do the Twitter.

It was waaaaaaay too crowded for me to get anywhere close enough to see these celebrities, but I did get to shake John Kerry’s hand! The crowd parted for him as he was walking his dog, lol. (Cute yellow lab, if anyone is curious!)

Without going into what it means to be “feminist”, I support the organizer’s decision to break with these groups because it’s pretty clear that the anti-choice people would be coming just to piss others off. As an anti-choice group, they have nothing to protest- Drumpf has promised to sign any legislation that…

This is an article admonishing the Girl Scouts. Shocking, that someone may offer up a better alternative to a group that has apparently has no problem endorsing a Trump presidency.

Calm down.

Well, they strayed from the National Organization then. Officially 4-H is non-religious, as the pledge shows.

This is an article talking about how the Girl Scouts, an organization supposedly dedicated to raising young women up, is marching in a parade for a proud pussy grabber. This is not a positive article, but a negative one, asking and wondering why and how such an esteemed organization can take part in such a thing. It…

Oh that’s sad to hear! I’m from Kentucky, where the Girl and Boy Scouts are what good, God fearing folk enrolled their kiddos in. 4-H was seen as some weird, not quite society sanctioned, offshoot club.

I’m still proud that my original club chose the name “The Innovators.”

This is why 4-H is so much better. I know most people associate it with agriculture, but it has so much more. I’m from a city, and it was 4-H that gave me my first public speaking event (which I won), and also taught me how to give demonstrations, sew, cook, and lead others. These were all events where I saw boys…

I hate this line of thinking- if we follow it through, it assumes that conservatives will stop being so racist, sexist, and xenophobic if the big bad liberals would just be nice to them! No. Racism is not caused by calling it out, sexism is not solved by silence, and xenophobia can’t be cured with kindness.

To be honest, I had not heard about that- any news from the Great North that makes it down here tends to be very positive and glowing. That being said, I’d still vote for him over Drumpf in a goddamn heartbeat.

I won’t lie, as an American, it’s been downright comforting to watch other first world countries have collossal fuck ups. It makes the list of countries to seek refuge in any pretty damn short, but as someone who came of age in the Bush years, it’s nice to know Americans aren’t the only ones capable of collective…

This is pretty much verbatim what I told any would be third party voter before the election who said they were voting that way cause they hated the 2 party system. No shit, no one really likes it, but this ain’t the way to change it. I hope they enjoy trying to build their grassroots movement under the autocratic…
