Exactly, Democrats need to realize their base is not large enough to carry Clinton to a win in the General election. Without drawing independents away from Trump (as Sanders does) we are well and truly fucked.

Sanders is not a third-party candidate taking votes from the Democratic ticket, no.

We really need a betting line on how long it will take for the author or Jezebel as a whole to be labelled as in the camp of whichever candidate is the subject of an article.

once super tuesday is over, the tune will change. black people who?

What has she accomplished that has diminished/decreased white supremacy? I’m fairly familiar with her record, both domestic and foreign, and the only thing I know of is her support for CHIP as first lady. Everything else she has accomplished has seemed to reinforced white supremacy IMO (deporting child refugees from…

I have the same interpretation, it really feels like lip service to me. I was also not shocked, but very dismayed to learn that her emails revealed that one of the real reasons for invading Libya was concern around Gaddafi’s work to create a gold backed currency in Africa. Imagine what that could have done for a…

Interesting. Do you interpret this as a shift left? It just seems like she is speaking out of both sides of her mouth to me, but I am very cynical. You know welfare reform and free trade deals like NAFTA were also part and parcel with the policies around the crime bill, in terms of their catastrophic impact on poor…

no she does, she activly campaigned for this bill and if she could have she would have voted for it. Also she called black teens super predators, she’s responsible for that racist statement.

I agree. Why contextualize any votes in Congress when we can cynically ignore the actual history of such things to promote our candidate of choice? It doesn’t matter that he fought the crime bill for years, defanged it a little, and only voted for it because of VAWA. He is the person to blame for mass incarceration.…

Especially one who contributed to the growing gap between white people and everyone else on this continent.

Before the election?

The sentiment is fine. White supremacy and white privilege obviously exist. However, being lectured about privilege by a millionaire, white woman who has a decent chance at being the most powerful person on earth is FUCKING INSANE. This election is driving me crazy.

Nothing more than a cheap ploy. Slay kween

As a black women: no one cares bitch. Fuck, nothing I hate more than white people who ‘check their privilege’ and think that is a political statement. Like, no, that shit just makes you feel better, it’s like saying you are ‘praying for the victims’ after a shooting. FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

I don’t think America’s abuela is in a position to talk about white privilege

One of the best quotes I’ve read recently was along the lines of she is the kind of feminist who fights to break the glass ceiling at her high powered job, then comes home and treats the help like shit. I’m paraphrasing, but it pretty much captured how I feel about things. People love to go on about bad white feminism…

That’s what we do as a nation, now. We hoist up symbols, as a monument to the progress we didn’t achieve. If we can’t share actual money with tomorrow’s generation of women, we can at least inspire them. The greatest achievement of the patriarchy will be the presentation of Clinton as proof that feminism is done, that…

Neither candidate can gain primary voters by talking about abortion. They will agree on full access, stopping the GOP attacks, etc. So for that reason it makes it a bad debate topic (yes I realize there are other topics that fall into that camp that get brought up).

does it really matter? here is how a question about abortion would go
