Is there any country where Catholic clergy weren't loving children? It's disturbingly common -- both the raping and the subsequent coverups that always occurred.

"Sent naked photos of himself to a woman he met online soliciting sex" - I guess it depends on when the solicitation happened; the language is vague enough that I can't tell if it's saying he just out of the blue sent the photos with a solicitation, or if he met the person when they solicited him for sex online.

That's literally what sent Anthony Weiner away.

That's not even what that slogan means and "our cause before yours" is a dumb strawman that has never accurately represented left opposition to identity politics.

Right, the opposition is usually "your cause doesn't matter at all, and is in fact actively harmful".

Family support in general is one topic that a lot of internet leftists have a major blindspot for, probably due to lack of experience.

Like between universal pre-K and free college tuition, take a guess at which one will actually help more poor people.

The bigger problem is that an awful lot of millennials are deeply disillusioned with politics in general. I'm a millennial and I'm voting for Hillary, but there are profound institutional and systemic problems with the American government and no president is capable of fixing them. Rightly or wrongly, Hillary is seen as a deeply establishment candidate and a lot of millennials hate the establishment more than they care for any particular ideology, leading to the popularity of perceived outsiders like Trump, Sanders, Stein, and Johnson with millennials.

For good and for ill, the blunt message of "poo poo in Washington DC is hosed, guys" is one that resonates very strongly with the millennial generation.

How strange, people said the same thing about Boomers in the 70s.
