in retrospect the actual funniest part of this quote was that she thought choosing Bernie over Hillary in 2016 is what you'd do if you were less activist, like, how out of touch do you have to be to think that

(also that people get more activist as they get older, I fuckin wish, then we wouldn't have the retirement-home voting bus ruining every election ever)

Remember when she wrote this banger absolving slick willy?

quote:

If all the sexual allegations now swirling around the White House turn out to be true, President Clinton may be a candidate for sex addiction therapy. But feminists will still have been right to resist pressure by the right wing and the media to call for his resignation or impeachment. The pressure came from another case of the double standard. For one thing, if the President had behaved with comparable insensitivity toward environmentalists, and at the same time remained their most crucial champion and bulwark against an anti-environmental Congress, would they be expected to desert him? I don't think so.

If you assume that by "activist" Gloria Steinem means "white feminist" actually the quote makes total sense and it actually IS what she probably meant

God drat, these numbers are so grim.

quote:

In America today, 40% of parents report being either extremely or very worried that their child is struggling with anxiety or depression.

quote:

Nearly 20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide and 9% have made an attempt to take their lives.

Also big lol that it's Bernie Sanders writing this, as the chair of a Senate committee he has powers to subpoena companies, at the very least dredging corporate documents that companies are trying to hide into the public view.

To Gradenko's point, Finkelstein's new book discusses how Obama made his career on playing off liberal conceptions of race. It would not have been possible, for example, for professors to use some dumb question he asked in class as the only question on a Harvard Law School exam, had they not realized that he was The African American that was going to fulfill every liberal's dreams. White liberals saw exactly what they wanted in him.

It also assumes that any of this classified information is inherently good and should be kept from the American public. It's hard to think of one single classified thing in my lifetime that was worth keeping from the public. The only "modern" exception I can maybe think of would be WWII related things during the war (and even then lol we made the most evil weapon ever).

literally any other context that isnt this team sports bullshit everyone actually involved in this classification crap basically just straight up says oh yeah overclassification is a big problem that makes everything a huge pain in the rear end for no good reason

well. he is from Indiana so it’s conceivable that he just knows that

I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky. nearby communities included Versailles pronounced ver-sails and Athens pronounced “ay-thens”

I’m always puzzled by Georgia and Ohio getting the latter correct but those are university towns so :shrug:
