Sarah McBride is a Congresswoman-elect, meaning she isn't in office yet. She's only previously held office in a state legislature. She doesn't "have a foreign policy" in any meaningful way yet. If you're trying to discredit her (for trying to make the best of a terrible situation where she's between a rock and a hard place, where her "not giving in" might get her engagement online but won't do anything materially because the assholes who hate her are the ones in control of the House and its rules) based on that, you are not a serious person. Like even along with it having no salience to the issue at hand - and thus making you seem unserious on that - it's meaningless, period.
#and the leftists acting like she's in the wrong here would absulutely never handle a coworker issue with any amount of spine#so why are they demanding it of her

were you at some point perceived to be one of the smartest kids in your grade? (whether or not that label was accurate)
#nope#everyone thought I was a little slow but weirdly good at taking tests#which maybe i am but being good at taking tests has gotten me places

seriously turning into a “facts don’t care about your feelings” guy but about the economy
#yeah#personally I'm a single issue voter on abortion so I didn't pay attention to the economy stuff#but so many of the people that voted for trump on the economy voted completely on their perception of him as a businessman and not reality

If a history-based work is good and inaccurate it’s because it’s a piece of art that sacrificed some points of accuracy for the sake of storytelling and conveying themes deeper and more important than a straightforward recounting of facts. If it’s bad and inaccurate then that’s just another reason why it sucks

There’s a level of confessional that only occurs when someone is driving you home late at night
#I still despeartly want to know the backstory to [redacteds] ex#but we were like 2 mins from [redacteds] house when it came up so I couldn't get the whole story

I just found the earliest email I ever sent from my email address, and it’s the funniest goddamn thing I can possibly imagine a fourth grader sending her teacher:
(Context - my fourth grade teacher was on maternity leave, and the state of the classroom fish tank was dire under the substitute teacher’s tyrannical rule. The class convened at recess, and decided to inform our (24yo, new mother) former teacher of the situation. I was selected as the duly appointed representative for this solemn communication.)

women don’t hate men because they’re men. women are fucking exhausted of men treating them like absolute shit and only wanting a mommywife. it’s men’s fault that women don’t like them, both individual and as a class

also, this isn’t going to go over well among all of you leftwing misogyny fans but educated white women broke for Harris by 20 points, which is a better margin than nearly all men of color.
I am not interested in simpering over dudes who hate my guts & voted to prove it, while smirking / scolding some tired woman whose entire social cohort broke for Harris & who is living in terror that her routine pregnancy might end with her dying of sepsis or bleeding out in a parking lot.
Like. Be so fucking real right now. Stop yelling at people who did the right thing simply because they don’t score high enough on your stupid Oppression Olympics scale, while caping for men who left us in the dirt.
I also have follow-up questions for educated white men. We’ve all apparently accepted that uneducated white people mostly hate everybody but it’s rude to ever address this, but what the fuck is going on with educated white guys? It’s nice that they’re less insanely reactionary, but pick up the fucking pace buddy.

Not that it’s bad advice or that we shouldn’t all be more circumspect and critical with our news sources, but I don’t really think Tumblr girlies who “get their news from” the Destiel meme are the problem with internet misinformation destroying liberal democracy you know? Just don’t think that’s who or what is doing this
#I think that every majpr news outlet having a several week long feeding frenzy after Biden's last debate did a lot more to harm the nation#than the destiel tumblr girlies who are a pretty tiny wedge of the population
