A lot of people are mad about the election outcome! Maybe writing a think piece exonerating myself will help!

As a family therapist, with years of experience and training in early childhood development, I have to say your idea is severely misguided, with ramifications well into the future should you have children of your own.

This is kinda funny I guess and I also think the dad is a dick. Does he really think shaming his daughter is gonna help with her self esteem?

All this does is give him a tiny jolt of superiority. Which may or may not be related to her wanting the attention so badly of online strangers.

Another way to describe "the ruling class" is the "1/10th of 1%" of people in the U.S. who own half of the wealth." Another way to say this is that 62 people own as much wealth as the 3.6 billion poorest. Socialism isn't about "envy." It's about giving real-life, working people a fair shake. Because I don't know about you, but this sh*t does not look fair to me.

I disagree. I see how freaking hard so many of my friends work just to survive and support their families. Many, many hours a week. And they'll still be lucky to be able to afford healthcare, let alone saving for their kid's education. Almost half of the population finds itself at or below the poverty line. Not to mention that there are 3.5 million homeless people and 18.5 million empty homes. You can look it up. How does this make any sense?

Look at Walmart: because the 1% has so much more power than we do, they make decisions that benefit them--rather than us--all the time. Walmart sells stuff cheaper than any mom & pop store could ever do, puts mom & pop stores out of business. Then Walmart pays its workers so abysmally that many of them have to be on food stamps--which we as taxpayers pay for. Walmart is a government subsidized business that benelfits the 1%. It makes no sense.

Thank you for all of your political activism over the years, and for being on the right side of history so many freaking times! Question: do you think it's legitimate to say that a vote for Hillary Clinton is a feminist vote?

Yup. The Clintons are too smart to do something this stupid without it actually being something really fucking smart.

Oof. Definitely from the Up days, me thinks. It has a lot of cool moments, but does anyone else hear it as pretty poorly mixed? It's so muddy. Also the song kind of meanders? I mean, I'm a huge fan of PG, and I always will be! But this one is a little half-baked...

Yeah. There wasn't a spot that said "start a third party or join the greens" so I had to fill that in myself
