    The headline saying progressives are ok with it is bullshit.

    But if stupid headlines broke any rules, there’d be a lot less posts here.

    This one will likely stay up

      That’s the headline from the article and I’m not allowed to change it. I ended up having to copy paste it as the automatic import did not work, so I suppose the title tag could be different. I can’t quite tell on my phone.

        Nah. I meant it’s not your fault it’s a dumb headline, it’s the journalist/editor who picked it.

        I should have explicitly said that to be clear tho considering how much hassle you’ve went thru to get a post in

            My preconceived notion is that people should fight for the things they believe in and not just shift their beliefs because the money said so. Strange, I know.

              My preconceived notion is that people shouldn’t amplify misleading headlines. That goes doubly for people who criticize misleading headlines when the shoe is on the other foot.

                It’s not misleading if I provide a date in the body, one is provided in the article/blog and the candidate totally said all of that. I’m not allowed to change the title, so how am I otherwise supposed to compensate for a lack of reading comprehension?
