[British MP Jo Cox Reportedly Shot and Stabbed Repeatedly!]

how does that happen with all those gun laws?

You are being pointlessly provocative.

[Britain votes in favor for Brexit]

Don't we have to also take into consideration history? I mean, Britain and France have already weathered enormous backlash in the second half of the 20th century due to immigration related to correcting their shameless colonialism. This does have some influence over the current response of people embracing their version of nationalism, no?

[2016 American Presidential Election]

I don't think Madonna is a particularly good political reference point, but I will quote her as closely as I can remember: Anyone who thinks their government is looking out for them is a fool.

Hillary Clinton, like all participants in establishment politics, is a bureaucrat. However, she is a lesser menace than many of her counterparts, and as a woman, she has fought a much more admirable battle. That she claims to have evolved on matters such as gay rights has no importance. She has evolved whether you like her or not, and she was progressive as a senator and as secretary of state in the sense that she extended equal rights to her LGBT team members when the rest of the federal government did not. She has always been a fierce advocate for women's rights and, to quote her, therefore human rights. That the Clintons are accused of being anti-progressive and calculated in their approach to their political trajectory is a moot point. All politicians can be accused of the same, but in the Clintons' case in particular, this is decontextualized with foresight constantly. The politics of Don;t Ask, Don't Tell and DOMA were a compromise. It would have been MUCH worse without them. People need to do their homework. All of this is petty Marxism. Stupid gets what stupid deserves.
