I had a good friend that had an ovarian cyst that was so big it made her look about 7 months pregnant. According to the logic of some of these folks she’d have to bring an ultrasound or a doctors note with proof of her not pregnant status. No misogyny here folks.

I once got denied service of alcohol in a restaurant because the waitress had seen me nursing earlier. It was the single most humiliating experience I have had as a grown adult. The waitress looked at me when I ordered (mind you, my humiliation makes me compelled to explain to y’all that I ordered ONE alcoholic…

Hell. Yes.

Seriously. Poor old white dude.

Lol I never thought of that. I would NOT be surprised if it turned out Señor Cruz is on the spectrum! It would explain so much.

I know. When I started REALLY listening to Bernie, I was like, I’ve heard this before...

Ugh my dad and all his friends are like old hippy versions of Bernie Bros. I put my #imwithher cover photo up on Facebook and it was really awkward watching them try so hard to be “respectful” because they “watched me grow up”, but basically in so many words saying “who does this bitch think she is, being a politician…

That’s what I was thinking!!! Or a way for a very controlling spouse to monitor literally every move. Ugh with this bed

Wow!

Ha ha! That kind of makes more sense. I'm still blown away by the existence of $25,000 sunglasses tho

holy shit balls! People pay $25,000 for SUNGLASSES?!?!? Mind. Blown.

Can you imagine if she were shouting and interrupting her opponents during the debates?I’m sure it would be seen as “quirky” and “passionate”

Yeah, I hate that she won't address this

Exactly!!! We’d see how anti-establishment they really are if Bernie was a woman of color saying exactly the same things.

I wish I could bottle your optimism and drink it. I very much hope you are right.

Ha ha, yeah pretty much. Or they just don’t have to think about racism at all, and can say their “ooh, n word bad, bad Paula Dean” and go about their lives benefitting from systemic racism. Tbh every one of those “celebrities” mentioned increased in popularity with my family after their respective scandals. They are…

Well that I can agree with. Bigotry definitely does not equal stupidity. It is something else entirely. And I agree I’m also turned off by how quickly many white liberals can dismiss rural America as stupid . I guess when I said overlook, I didn’t mean overlook, I should have said “underestimate".

Best comment ever

I would agree that this is an amazing story, and I would also argue that this is an exceptional case. I just have to wonder when was the last time you sat down with a self described redneck and tried to reason/ empathize the centuries deep racism out of them? It something I’m confronted with on most holidays/family…

Thank you!! It’s hard to just sit back and listen to people talk around the (pretty obvious) sexism and racism.
