Finally, my steadfast support for Elizabeth Warren 2016 renders much of your essay laughable


Everything we know about human interaction suggests folks can harbor prejudice, animus, malice, et cetera, against members of their own group and that often that prejudice, animus, malice, et cetera is the greatest...

Colloquially I know when someone says my best friends are black, Jewish, gay, lesbian, what have you I know that group, is about to get slammed.

It's not who we support or claim as friends that defines us. It's our actions.


Opposing sexism, homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, et cetera is a hill I would die on.


BTW, the cartoon you posted isn't from Rolling Stone as you wrote, " From Rolling Stone who captured the sentiment perfectly." It's from the right leaning Sun Sentinel:









Look closely

Oh, and substitute gay, Jewish, African American, Muslim, et cetera for girl and think how noxious that cartoon would be.
