Bernie didn’t just march with MLK, he was getting arrested in his twenties protesting segregation. As for the answer, wasn’t great phrasing but there isn’t much else you can say to answer such a question. 

Bernie’s response was lacking, but it’s true. How is it any different from what Black parents tell their black boys? Cause the fact is if you give an officer any reason ( or no reason at all in some cases) they will beat you and/or kill you. The second half of his answer was what I had more problem with, because he…

The question was what would he tell his black son to do in the case he was pulled over. This article pretends it’s his general response to racial injustice in America. I challenge someone here to answer this question in a meaningfully better way, considering that it is you giving advice to your black son.

It’s only a “shockingly bold move for that part of the world” if you don’t know anything about the gender-equal Kurds and their robust use of women fighters and women-led brigades. We have no idea whether she’s “quite an extraordinary woman” or if this is just a society like the real-world one they very obviously drew…

If it’s aiming for the realism of war, the part where you abandon the rebels to be ethnically cleansed should be interesting.

1000% agree.

I’d give this comment a million stars if I could. Chicago! Is! Not! Broke!

Except that Chicago *ISN’T* broke! It has $800 million dollars in the TIF accounts, which have been siphoned off of property taxes (which go to pay for education) and directed towards developers and private corporations. They have enough money to pay $90 million for a police training facility, $30 million to put more…

Feelin’ it.

But AOC wasn’t crediting Bernie with CHIP. She was crediting Bernie for advocating for single-payer at a time when CHIP was the only thing that assured that she had insurance.

They are all friends and colleagues. Sanders urged Warren to run in 2016.

Neera Tandeen of the Center for American Progress took particular issue with a moment during Ocasio-Cortez’s endorsement speech in which she said, “When I was a child that relied on CHIP so that I could see a doctor, Bernie Sanders fought for a single-payer healthcare system.”

“Is ideology more important than race and gender? Genuinely curious.”

Not true and neither is the house painting scenario an apt analogy. Hourly workers get a breakdown showing how many hours they worked on each day of their schedule, not just a paycheck. Breaking down the hours shows the employee whether they’re being short-shifted, whether they’re being docked for breaks they should…

now-deleted tweet from Jane Eisner, the director of academic affairs at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, who offered the following in response to Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar’s endorsements of Sanders: “I find it fascinating that women of color overlook female and minority candidates to…

In answer to your “why would he?” question: because they are claiming the drivers are contractors who can take or leave a fare based on whether it’s good for them or not. Hiding this information takes something that was already difficult and makes it impossible.

He said he had a heart attack.

Nope. Get it right! Bernie isn’t a Democrat NOW! LOL!

“Holds virtually the same positions...”
