Whereas Hillary is continually reinventing herself and her campaign, throwing things against the wall to see what sticks, Sanders appears to be driven by core values. He's running because he wants to upend a broken system. She's running because she thinks it's her turn.
Any sentient being knows that pharmaceutical companies are predatory and not to be trusted.
Perhaps all of our anxiety is not caused by broken brains but by working nonstop, missing out on time with our friends and families because we are all so busy 'hustling' and 'grinding' just to survive in an immoral economic system skewed to favor a very few at the top while leaving the rest of the country to fend for itself.
By all means, if you have a chemical imbalance, use medication. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to have a broader conversation about the pharmaceutical industry and the deep structural flaws in our economic system.
All my friends were liberals and I grew up in a really liberal family.
I had a lot of ideas about conservatives and then I got to Fox and just, I was like, 'Oh, they're not all evil and stupid.'
People are really nice at Fox.
While many liberals have dismissed the idea of political correctness as a right-wing manufactured hysteria, it is in fact a real thing.
From my early 20s on, I would waver between atheism and agnosticism, never coming close to considering that God could be real.
I sometimes hear Christians talk about how terrible life must be for atheists. But our lives were not terrible. Life actually seemed pretty wonderful, filled with opportunity and good conversation and privilege.
Donald Trump has a curious understanding of what freedom of speech means.
Trump may not like the fact that 20-plus anonymous sources provided the 'Times' with an unflattering portrait of his campaign, but that doesn't make it 'false.' Of course, Trump had no problem with news outlets running with his made-up claim in 2011 that President Obama 'doesn't have a birth certificate.'
Trump loves free speech only when he or his supporters are speaking.
Loving people does not require you to stay silent when you see something that merits being called out.
A lack of grace involves much more than critiquing an opponent. It looks a lot more like the ad hominem attacks the president launches nearly daily against all who aren't actively worshiping him. It looks like Trump's relentless attempts to pit Americans against one another.
If I had a dollar for every time somebody said, 'I don't understand: how can you be a Democrat and be a Christian?' I'd be a millionaire.
It was many years until I started meeting other people who were like me: very progressive-minded politically but also very conservative theologically.
The media is not the most Christian-friendly place in the world for the most part. At the same time, a lot of these Christians bring it on themselves.
Illiberal feminists turn simple ideological disagreements, whether about the federal budget or the Second Amendment or anything else, into excuses to engage in character assassination, dismissing their opponents as sexists.
In their ideological zeal, the feminists of the illiberal left don't seem to realize how they've given feminism a bad name.
