This kind of pedantry doesn't add to the conversation, it takes away from it. "South Korea orders Japan to compensate sex slaves" is a genuinely worse article title than the given one, and contains far less information than referring to them as "comfort women."

Yes, these people were sex slaves. The reason the term "comfort women" is helpful is because these are very specific sex slaves from a specific time, a specific place, and under specific circumstances. South Korea doesn't want Japan to compensate sex slaves, South Korea wants Japan to compensate these sex slaves.

They only seem to push for the presidency

This is the key indicator and red flag that they are a clown party that isn't serious about politics. They're in it for the attention and the money.

Both of those sound great. How does she plan on accomplishing those with our deadlocked legislature?

What are her meaningful issues?

I see. So Putin sat down at her table, uninvited, didn't introduce himself, she didn't comment on it, then he, Michael Flynn, and all the others finished their sandwiches and left Jill Stein in peace to eat her lunch alone.

I can see how that absolves her. But man, what a shitty thing to happen to someone when they just want to enjoy their soup and crackers in peace. With this one little social faux pas, Putin made millions of people across the country believe she was his stooge.

When she becomes president, what do you think she is going to do to retaliate against Putin for fucking her image so bad?

I wonder if the whole red state/blue state discourse would disappear if we just got rid of the fucking Electoral College...

Wow. She somehow got herself a seat at Putin's table, then she sat down quietly, politely ate her sandwich, then got up and left without ever saying a word or interacting with the people at the table?

How unlucky she must have felt to find herself such an awkward situation. Egg on her face and all that.

That's a good policy to have, sugarbuns. Bolster that with a side of honesty and respect and you'd actually be a decent person to talk to, instead of a propaganda spewing clown. Petunia.

Okay "sweetie." I'll take your sincerely regurgitated propaganda to heart, dearie. You have a good night, lovey.

You can definitely be better than this, sweetcheeks.

This needs to be said more than anything else.

Politics NEVER changes from the top down. You don't elect some absolute newcomer who circumvents all the normal paths and then completely revolutionizes the country. (At least not in a stable, functioning society.) Politics in the US happens from the ground up. Not top down.

If any third party was serious about changing society, they would start at the local level. Then, after proving that they can enact meaningful change and bridge the divide between the huge political span that Americans hold, they would sweep their state elections and federal elections.

All of these pie-in-the-sky parties who think that they will win the presidency and then somehow enact society-changing legislation (_the president doesn't make laws!!!_) are either fools or charlatans.

That's not what a "primary source" is. Links to websites are not primary sources. This is pretty basic stuff.

No, my abundant use of question marks and italics was to emphasize just how stupid and dishonest what you wrote was. You're a dishonest propagandist and you are making the world a worse place. Be better than that.
