Like signing a voter suppression law in a room full of white dudes beneath a painting of a literal plantation?

Funny, I made a joke earlier about mediocre white men (have been quiet quitting all along) on Twitter. Some troll came into my replies crying about RaCiSm and SeXiSm, like that isn't the reason the concept exists.

I too am hopeful. If the polls say anything that is accurate it is that it probably going to be close. I am hopeful that there is a significant and sufficient “untapped Democratic turnout”.

And by 'try to get Herschel Walker to say something weird' you mean 'put him in front of a microphone'.

"some troll" is right

It's people who look like "some troll" who not only made up the racism and the sexism, but who are actively inflicting it on the rest of us

Maybe "some troll" can't seeeeee it (they always whine about that) because "some troll" is not a victim of it

I DO wish she would smile. She ought to, but I guess she can't for some reason.

This is why I’ve been torn lately when it comes to my political diet. A lot of what I read is anti Trump/anti Republican. It’s frustrating that Biden won more of the popular vote than anyone on history, but the media tells is repeatedly how Trump got the most votes of any losing candidate in history! Since when has that ever been a thing?! Obama got slapped around like crazy his first term , yet the NTY wasn’t flocking to every black barbershop, black church or college campus to find Obama supporters to defend him. Trump collides with Russians, threatens the Ukraine and stages a fucking coup and the press STILL beats the bushes looking for his supporters. Trump lost. There are far more people that hate him than love him but what do we get treated to? Love letters from his cultish supporters.

It's always the way with the two parties! If you turn the volume down when they're being interviewed-- well you try this: Republicans esp office holders talk but do not look like they're thinking while they talk, although of course their mouths are moving. Democrats look alive, as if every moment is a new moment and as they speak they're thinking about what they're talking about.

That's funny. Some people just get to hear about something and they really run with it! And if they think you haven't heard of it yet they'll try to grind you into little pieces bc of your ignorance. I like to be lectured on how I'm not a good feminist-- by 40 yr old Republican guys. I just have to say, "But I do look up to men!" or whatever. I'm sick of these things anyway. Doesn't the world know that some women are horrible and some men are great?
