Vividly captures the condescension of elites & their incessant ridicule of Americans with traditional values. It elicits glee among celebrities & blue check brigade. But for the millions sick of being disrespected it elicits support for fighting back,even in a crude or vulgar way https://twitter.com/independent/status/1182675975529730048 …
And the 33% who don't never gon vote D anyway.This is not a perfect comparison, but this would be like writing the story that supporters of anti-miscegenation are upset after a politician made a quip about white people being able to marry black people.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans support same-sex marriage. This is not a tossup issue.
Sounds like that stupid trope where a captured soldier would repeatedly say their name, class, where they served to survive interrogation."Will you talk about Rudy Giulianni?"
"When I was in Warsaw..."
"Sounds like no?"
"...when I was in Warsaw..."
"No Rudy colludy?"
"..when I was in Warsaw"
"....Rudy!"
"When I was in wars-"
"Rooooooodyyyyyyyy"
"When i-"
"RUDYRUDYRUDY"
"When I was in Warsaw"
This is the kind of sexist garbage in the press that causes some like Hillary to be such a stilted politician.
Let's make one thing clear, Marco Rubio knows exactly what he's doing.Warren joke about bigots needing to get a fucking life = seriously offensive
Trump joke about China interfering in US election = not serious
Just shut up, Rubio. Literally no one likes you.
Feel like basically every gop senator is getting ratio'd every time they tweet anything lately

Your trifecta is pretty safe.Hey NJ-ERA, are we looking ok going into the General Assembly election? Do I need to worry about the trifecta going out? (Obviously voting as if otherwise, but I'd still like to ask).
Funny enough, the only real problem I had with Warren's joke is, somewhat ironically, addressed in the top response to that tweet:
And it reminds me of this picture:
And the problem is this: the continued insulation of women (particularly white women) from the perpetuation of bigoted ideas that harm at-risk minority communities.
The crux of Warren's joke is the assumption that the person insisting marriage is (and must be) between one man and one woman must be a socially maladjusted incel figure. But history and polling...shows that's not true at all. The men who believe this tend to be socially adjusted men, who have no problem getting female partners...who think just like them.
Lol, the latest Pew polling has a 10 point gap between women and men in gay marriage approval. https://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/Huh?
By far the most vocal and visible opponents to gay marriage are men, it's not even close.

Huh?

Not really.
Women have been more enlightened on the issue. But there isn't a "chasm" separating men and women here by any means.
About 95% of her leads have actually panned out - including her "Geraldo Moment" with the Trump tax summary which even then she conceded could have been leaked directly by Trump to throw off the scent - had value as an example of amateur hour obstruction - but Maddow's main skill is breaking down extremely complex political, criminal or legal ideas into plain concepts.
Plenty of people have an allergic reaction to her style but the information is top notch for the most part. What makes people think it's mass arrest porn is that she's typically explaining shit that SHOULD result in mass arrests.
You said, "it's not even close." It traditionally has been.

What's "visible" depends on where you're looking. If you're a member of twitter/youtube culture, I can see that stereotypical "figure" looking a particular way. For me? Growing up in the black church in LA, I can't say that some of the most homophobic and threatening language I heard growing up didn't come from the women I was raised around. So I honestly didn't even need to be varified by polling data to go, "....ehhhh..." at that particular bit of Warren's joke.
"Look how old and frail our guy is"Yeah, it's smart to advertise that your candidate just had a serious health issue and is just coming back from it...
I think too - and I fully admit this is just me talking out of my ass over having any statistics to back it up - in conservative, religious households you often have the men making the political decisions for the rest of the family. So if the man opposes same-sex marriage, his wife and children better too.Hot take: men and women can be homophobic, but men are statistically likelier to physically hurt me. Ergo, I've always associated hateful, sonofabitch men with the word "homophobe."
That and the person questioning her was a guy and he used the phrase "one man marrying one woman." And she even prefaced this by saying "I am going to assume it's a guy" and the person didn't correct her.I took Warren assuming it was a guy was just for the sake of imagining the scenario, so she could use the "Just marry one woman line" Nothing deeper.

Well, one should modify one's diet after a heart attack, especially at such an advanced age.Bernie Sanders will be enjoying a nice snack of saltine crackers at the Bernie's Back rally, because that bitch be eating crackers.
Yes, but let's not let Rubio off the hook for that massive massive hypocrisy, after all that his party has done to screw over so many people.I thought she said she was assuming that it was a man for the purpose of the point so she could say "so marry one woman" and not homophobes are probably all men. At least that's how I understood it.
