In 2016, toward the end of the lead up to the primaries, Bernie polled higher than HRC when they were each given as an option to oppose Trump. I was in rural New York at the time and it was surprising to see so many Bernie signs. Somehow, he was able to reach blue collar America where other, recent Democrats have lost ground.

As a populist, Bernie was a stronger candidate against the other "populist" (Trump) than the institution candidate (HRC). Naturally, the DNC would rather lose against a wannabe-dictator than back someone who doesn't swallow their entire load.

Not to mock, but to test the separation of church and state and whether all religions really are allowed to participate.

This is making me miss the hobbydrama sub. I love this petty shit.

Even if this were true, I'd vote for a banana peel over Trump because at least the banana peel won't do anything to dismantle election integrity.

Don't forget Pornhub. If they spun off a non-porn-centric version of their platform, they might be able to take a substantial market share, given their existing infrastructure. And as a bonus, they already have creator monetization tools.

VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES Such a small amount of people decide who ends up on the ballot. And an overwhelming majority of incumbents get reelected due to primaries.

Please please please vote! Even if you like the person in the lead, consider voting for someone who might not win but will send a message to the party that their policies need to be folded into the party platform, etc.

Sure hope there's going to be education available alongside the psychedelics for ~~sale~~ acquisition. It'll help people learn about set and setting, etc., but most importantly, education and prep will mean less bad trips and less idiots running their mouths to the anti-drug crowd.

Can't wait for them to remember that trans men exist. There's going to be a lot of shocked Pikachu Republicans when men who look like men show up in "women's spaces" because they're being forced to.

Wish I could be a fly on the wall to see that fucking awesome scenario.

But seriously, trans folks, you don't deserve this bullshit and I hate that your existence is the controversy of the moment for Republicans. Be well and take care of yourselves <3.

If we demand higher police pay, we better be raising EMT, social work, and teacher salaries too.

And yes, I know this is whataboutism, but it feels wrong to fund police while some of the support system workers that prevent crime in the first place would be thrilled to be making the hourly rate these cops were.

I mean, you're basically describing the point of intersectional activism.
