If my partner were part of this movement she’d be breaking up with me entirely, not just withholding sex. But if she was withholding sex from me because of this there’s not really anything I can do because I’m not going to force her to do it because I’m not an asshole. Plus I’m not with her just for sex so withholding sex wouldn’t severely impact our relationship or my wanting to be an ally.

My point is that the people this is likely to be deployed against are not the ones causing the problem.

Maybe if the ones not causing the problem caused more problems for the ones causing the problem they would stop causing problems.

Yes but it wouldn’t change my opinion. Because I don’t need to be getting my dick wet to support women.

I’m a sympathetic man and this makes total sense and I support them fully.

There is no wedge.

If their goal was further eroding people’s faith in institutions I’d say they worked pretty well.

If Trump is really a threat to democracy the only explanation I have for the Democrat’s behavior is that they don’t really care that much about it.

What we have right now is a MASSIVE messaging problem.

I mean, it’s a day that ends in Y so of course the Democrats have a messaging problem.

And then after the election we need to “bring down the temperature.”

Either they’re an existential threat to democracy or they’re not. If they are Democrats should start acting like it.

I never saw any stars. I just saw the prices.

I was a latchkey kid starting at 8 years old. It was awesome, I could eat cereal and watch old episodes of Batman and Gilligan’s Island

As a 90s kid I’m incredibly good at T9 text input, which is what I use the phone buttons in my car for

Their incompetence is the small shred of hope I’m clinging to

Chewbacca. Because I am also large, hairy, and communicate in a series of grunts and growls

Most people are idiots most of the time.

Some people are idiots some of the time.

No one is never an idiot.

Weren’t the Democrats the ones calling this election “the only way to save democracy?” Wasn’t Donald Trump a fascist who was going to destroy the country and kill people? And now we need to “bring down the temperature?”

Either they were lying before, or they’re lying now.

What does that preparation look like? Ocasio-Cortez said she’s still taking a moment to process her plan. But she said she’ll personally be “doing a lot more direct communication” — i.e., methods other than social media, which can be overrun with unverified claims and outright propaganda.

“I think I’ll be planning on using my email list to give a lot more thorough and specific things about what’s on my mind and how to prepare for things,” she said. And she encouraged her followers to get out of their online bubbles:

I was going to point out that nobody reads those, but then I realized I’m a fucking weirdo who blocks all that shit with extreme prejudice. So maybe it’ll work because normal people apparently read every email they get in detail.

I wasn’t aware that chocolate was a traditional Greek flavoring

Except for when they eat it over spaghetti and cut it with a knife instead of twirling

My headcanon for the invention of Cincinnati chili is that some midwestern person read that chili is “heavily spiced” and used what they had available, including cinnamon and nutmeg.

I highly doubt the people protesting Trump voted for him.

Come on.
