The problem is a many-headed hydra, each time you cut one off more appear.

Attorney here, working with families involved with child welfare. I represent parents and children, and all my clients are indigent. This is so incredibly spot-on. After six years of seeing addiction, domestic violence, neglect, all varieties of abuse, mental illness, and myriad other problems, it’s clear to me the…

Once the country made a conscious choice to prioritize money over children it became easier to make that choice again (fighting maternity leave laws that ensured mothers could stay with their children longer) and again (push backs against nutrition laws for public schools) and again (disapproving of gun control laws…

“a very specific kink in political reasoning: the idea that a system that seeks to increase the wellbeing of poor children should be separated from the welfare of poor parents”

The real conundrum for me would be if both Sanders and Warren were running. I might still support Sanders because his economic focus, and that I think he will set us up for a country that is open to the idea of a basic guaranteed income. We won’t know until she is asked to expand her ideas beyond being a senator.

While obviously the DHHS carries its fair share of blame in this incident, it should also be noted that Ohio has a serious human trafficking problem, which most people aren’t aware of unless they live in the state. Both issues need fixing, the DHHS should have better regulations, and Ohio really needs to curb the…

Look, I’m just going to throw this out there. Part of the blame for this problem needs to fall at the feet of people who oppose comprehensive immigration reform.

That’s absolutely horrifying, I hope that the senate responds with positive budget changes that would put enough people on the ground regulating and keeping track of things to stop this from ever happening again.

I know I’m seriously sad that this is a problem. I live and grew up in Vermont, been voting for him for years, and Bernie is definitely not a bro of any kind. Why do bros have to co-opt and ruin everything?

Is anyone actually not going to vote for Sanders because of his supporters though? Because I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered anyone who agrees with him but who would actually be swayed to not vote for him because of some misbehaving fanboys.

Not to mention the Clinton’s crime bill and welfare reform were terrible for POC! And her history of race-baiting in 2008. But no, all Bernie supporters are racist white dudes!

Respectfully, in the primaries we do get to choose between Sanders and Clinton. I also share your SCOTUS concerns, and as it turns out, Bernie actually polls better against many GOP candidates than Hillary.

Shit man, I am voting for Bernie but I am not a blind supporter and I get shit all over by Bernie Bros. Just because you have a disagreement doesn’t mean you need 10 mean mansplaining to you how you are wrong for having feelings and opinions.

I support Bernie because he has been correct on many issue that Hillary has flip-flopped on.

Iraq war
TPP
XL Pipeline
Gay marriage

I’m a Bernie supporter and made a polite comment on a Planned Parenthood facebook page, saying I disagreed with their decision to endorse a candidate. Didn’t even mention Bernie Sanders. I got multipe abusive responses within minutes. Bad behavior is not limited to one camp.

It’s more than I see in a lot of campaigns, especially on the other side.

I’ve been a huge Bernie supporter for awhile, but Berniebros are the worst. They are the type of guys that pretend like they are just so moral and and progressive, but mansplain/whitesplain everything because they still feel they are superior. I also cannot support anything someone says if they use sexist rhetoric.…

Yeah, I’ve been noticing that and it’s really been pissing me off. Like I support Bernie, but I would be fine with Hilary winning. She’s not as liberal as Bernie is, but I like some of her policies.

Bernie Sanders has some annoying sexist fans.

Just yesterday, my friend had to deactivate her FB because of harassment from Bernie supporters. Even this site gets its fair share of rabid Bernie supporters who actually turn you off from Sanders because they are so condescending.
