Bernie and Hillary are both part of the establishment, and she had to work ten times harder to get there than he did.

If these people gave one fat shit about anything at all Bernie claims to stand for, they’d be quietly licking their wounds in preparation for starting enthusiastically canvassing for Hillary. But they’ll hold their breath now until they turn blue, and then won’t we be sorry! You’ll see!
I mostly understand the criticism in posts like this (and blogs about this in other places). But it also often sounds like a bit of Western infantilizing. “Oh, brown people/non-Americans, let me, a Westerner, tell you how you are being mistreated/misrepresented, and why you should be offended by this.”
Sanders didn’t need to add White working class and Male because men are the assumed “standard people,” especially to him. I say especially to him, because he has continuously ignored and marginalized women in his language through out this election cycle.
Plenty of tone deafness to go around from first worlders here complaining that someone isn’t doing charity work “the right way” like some curmudgeonly sportswriter complaining about bat flips and touchdown dances.
Alternatively, they may well have told her to do just this... or at least, might have said: “please post this many photos per day and note that cute kids get a lot of RTs.”
I was at a Rainbow Push Coalition luncheon on Monday where Clinton spoke. Somehow the older black crowd was really fucking excited to see HRC. But I bet it’s because they were low info voters, amirite? Or maybe she’s been working with the community for years rather than yelling at them about what they should want.
It’s not groundless because it’s a loss. If it was groundless it wouldn’t have made it past summary judgment. Perhaps you should learn a bit about the legal system and think things through after that, before making your next statement.
Cash in on the deaths of family members? So, it’s cashing in if one of the deaths was to the sole owner in a household who loses years of earning potential that would go towards spouse and raising children? That person shouldn’t sue at all if they believe it is a wrongful death that someone else is responsible for.
No wonder Grantland begat a Cult of SporrsGuy. He’s their Ideal: only child of a school administrator, so, never wanted for anything, but, still, his parents divorcing changed everything.
Nobody is saying Clinton isn’t part of the establishment. They are saying that if you are going to label her as “establishment”, then you should also, by the same reasoning, label Sanders the same, since he has been in public office for so many years.
Also, why is being part of the establishment a good or bad thing? It…
I wonder how you think a guy who’s been in Congress for 40 years (and accomplished practically nothing of note) isn’t “establishment” as well. You’ve drunk the kool-aid and all you can do is spout jingoistic propoganda verbatim.
I seem to remember a past Gawker post where a Berniebro insisted that even though Clinton is far and away the frontrunner and leaving Sanders in the dust, that she should abdicate and try to become Sanders’ VP. And then refused to see how fucking sexist that was.
If you don’t give a shit enough about the country to vote to make sure Trump isn’t president, if that isn’t in your heart and your soul, you really think some random from the internet being mean is the problem? REALLY????
Do not hold your vote hostage and expect people to treat you like an adult.
Ok. (1) this notion of rigging is just whitey white white people’s privileged temper tantrum that they might not be able to know what everyone in the world wants. She won by every metric and it isn’t because in May there were emails. Go jerk off to some other fantasy.
(2) the job of the DNC is to position the strongest…
I’m taking the gloves off with the Bernie faction. BTW, full disclosure, I voted for him in my state’s primary. This shit has got to stop. There is too much at stake for a bunch of bitching about the DNC essentially doing its goddamn JOB just because people are butthurt that not everyone who votes Democratic is as…
I spent the last few weeks thinking of a tree that we used to have in the backyard of our old house. All those hours I spent under that tree looking up as the sunlight dripped like honey through the leaves. When the thin cold wire of time wasn’t pressing pushing tight against my neck. There was time back then. There’s…
