Who Said It: Bernie Sanders or Daenerys Targaryen?
Reddit

In honor of the season 6 premiere of "Game of Thrones" April 24, here’s a “Who Said It” quiz to distract you from the agony of waiting. These silver-haired revolutionaries share a fiery (pun intended) passion for social justice, modernization, and empowerment. Can you guess who said what? Scroll down to discover the answers!

1. “The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.”

2. “People learn to love their chains.”

3. “One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found.”

4. “People know that we have got to stand together, that we're going to grow together, that we're going to survive together, and that if we start splintering, we're not going to succeed.”

5. “Freedom means making your own choices.”

6. “When millions of people stand up and fight... They win.”

7. “Brothers and sisters: Now is not the time for thinking small, now is not the time for the same-old [...] establishment politics and stale [...] ideas.”

8. “Don’t underestimate me.”

9. “I'm not going to stop the wheel, I'm going to break the wheel.”

10. “Your freedom [will] not [be] mine to give, it belongs to you and you alone. If you want it back, you must take it for yourselves. Each and every one of you.”


1. Bernie

In a viral video promoting Bernie’s candidacy, he articulates his views on the significance of human agency.

2. Daenerys

The Breaker of Chains illuminates on the Stockholm Syndrome that occurs when people are brainwashed into thinking life would be worse without their chains and even rendered dependent on them. Some people would rather be free from responsibility and chained than to be liberated be held accountable.

3. Daenerys

Quoting a book she read, Daeny acknowledges there is far more value in listening the the voices of many, diverse in status, background and opinion, rather than of a homologous select few who exclude or lack knowledge of concerns relevant to other people.

4. Bernie

Bernie recognizes the strength in numbers. There’s value in unity and for lack of better words, that’s how shit gets done. In the words of Abe Lincoln, “a house divided can’t stand.”

5. Daenerys

Again, the “Mother of Dragons” stresses the importance of action. Choices may be hard, but don’t let laziness or fear prevent you from making your own choices because they are what will define you and your life.


6. Bernie

Bernie echoes Daenerys's position on freedom and action. Actions may have consequences, but so does inaction. Be proactive!

7. Bernie

How can you improve something if you aren’t willing to change? Bernie advocates to aspire for content by rejecting complacency.

8. Bernie

Bernie isn’t your traditional presidential candidate in that he’s not younger and Christian (instead perhaps one of the cutest old men you will ever set your eyes on). He's also a self proclaimed "democratic socialist" (50% of people say they wouldn't vote for a socialist), but beware - don’t underestimate him. Also this is quite possibly my favorite video ever. What a baller!


9. Daenerys

Okay, this was an easy one - but come on, I had to. This is something Bernie would totally say! Watch out Westeros, Khaleesi’s not just going to turn your world upside down. She’s going to break your entire definition of what your world can be.

10. Daenerys

Are you starting to see a pattern here with Mhysa’s rhetoric? She’s basically Plato, telling people to step out of the cave of darkness (ignorance) and adjust their eyes to the light (knowledge) -- no matter how painful it may be initially -- in order to attain liberation.

Were you able to tell who said what? How do you feel about Daenerys and Bernie’s political beliefs? Visit ProCon to see each presidential candidate’s stances on various issues and I Side With to discover how your beliefs align with them. Finally, be proactive and remember to vote!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
