You can be a progressive and vote for Clinton...but she is not, and I don’t know why you would. You could say it’s because she stands a better chance in the general election (she doesn’t, according to pretty much every poll), or because she can get things done in a divided Washington (working with Republicans who have…

I’ve always had an issue with the argument that “half a loaf is better than no loaf” (and don’t even get me started on that goddamn “devil you know” nonsense). While, literally speaking, yes, half a loaf is better than nothing at all, the metaphor is stretched to cover situations it shouldn’t.

Thanks, I picked that up by the end, but don’t spend enough time here to recognize the names of known trolls.

You appear to have not moved past that stage, given that you pulled that claim about the age of “the vast majority” of Sander’s supporters out of your ass.

Your words not mine. I’d argue with you, but I don’t think you’re in the mood for a more in depth discussion on how the media shapes the narrative. This isn’t a debate; this is an internet slap-fight.

Wait, you’re seeing maybe two seconds of footage spliced together, having been snipped from a fight-scene and re-edited for a promotional video by some marketing-team hack......and then further altered by a Gawker intern who slowed it down and presented it as a low-frame-rate animated gif.........and you’re judging…

White, I’ll admit to that. Rich? Certainly not. And there are consequences no matter who you vote for. I’m simply choosing that I won’t be contributing to the rightward slide of the country because I believe that while a republican presidency is a disaster for the country, I also believe that it’s a disaster to have…

Even if you’re willing to call her progressive (I’m not), I don’t see how you can call her a leading one.

I feel that mentality “we are all going to have to vote for whichever one wins” is why it’s going to be so bitter. I, for one, plan on voting down-ticket no matter what, so I’ll be doing my part to keep congress (and the state’s offices) from becoming even more useless.

New headline: Gawker authors have wildly unrealistic views about the world outside NYC.

Ah! The old switcheroo! You say “Sanders’ supporters” are attacking her for having “a healthy ego”. I called bullshit, so you then you call me an ass pimple because some people, now unspecified, call her a list of other things and then pivot without reflection to attacking the other candidate. Gotcha. Seems that…

Thank you so much! I was just talkin’ with Dorothy, the cowardly lion, and the tin man. We were missing one of our friends, but you’ve found him! You’ve found the straw-man!

It’s true that Graham has worked with Democratic politicians in the past. He isn’t one of those who pushes the Window, but as you point out, his politics are crazy. I would argue that someone’s policies can mark them as a radical, but you seem to want to limit that to the tone the policies are conveyed in. Like I…

Welcome to Overton Window 101. Also known as the dark-side of the famous Gandhi/Klein “First they ignore you...” quote.

My understanding was that in the originals, he was more akin to Samson: a strongman fighting for his people. That would certainly make more sense than a pair of Jewish writers developing a Christ-story.

Oh, I know, right!? Right-wingers be all like she killed our troops in Bengaaaazi and Vince Foster and she’s a secret lesbian who used Bill Clinton to gain power and and and...wait.

I haven’t heard Bernie folks* say she doesn’t care about women, but I’m among those who don’t trust her. If you’d like, I could explain in detail with many examples, but I suspect we’ve both staked our claims in this election and aren’t going to move unless one or both candidates reveals themselves to be a…

I love that you switched topics from vaunting her “Near-parity between genders on campaign staff” to how “Parity is not just about average dollars.” when it was pointed out that others had her beat there.

My math has Hillary’s 324/202 split as a ratio of ~1.604 and Bernie’s 104 to 142 as ~1.365. If you’re looking purely at parity, Bernie comes out ahead. Is it nice that Hillary hired more women in a field where they’re underrepresented? Yes, but if you’re going to highlight “near-parity between genders”, and not simply…
