People have told me for most of my life to talk and write “more normal” so that they wouldn’t have to use a dictionary or think for more than a second about what they’re reading — this is just the latest instance of them looking for a shortcut to disregard anything they don’t immediately understand.

Fuck ‘em.

It’s always good to have something to aspire to.

For me, I’ll keep admiring Warren for as long as she keeps beating up banks. I don’t really give a shit about a primary they both lost anymore.

Presidential elections are about as competitive as anything gets.

Bernie’s been over it for years; she’s literally one of his best allies in the senate. I assume if the person on the other end of the fight can get over it, the people who weren’t even there can figure it out too and stop wasting energy attacking the people who want to help us.

For some reason people seem to love purity-testing Warren and finding her wanting. Warren made the CFPB happen. Of course, now it’s being dismantled by republicans, but I’d be willing to bet that her work has accomplished more actual progressive goals than anyone in this comment section.
