I think the point is not that Sanders hasn’t accomplished something major, it’s that he’s done it DESPITE the shitty job his campaign manager is doing. He did it under his own steam, while his campaign made misstep after misstep. If the campaign was run better, I honestly think he would have trounced Clinton.

“That bad”?
He was (some would stay “is”) within striking distance, and he’s been running for just over a year. Hillary Clinton has been campaigning since 2007, has collected billions of dollars in SuperPAC money, and she’s having trouble closing the deal against a self-described socialist.

I am a general Sanders fan but I’ve not liked Weaver very much this whole election. He has come across as rude, sarcastic, and just not all that competent.

There is a difference though, with Sanders you need to create a negative slant, the myth of the BernieBros as almost being synonymous to Sanders supporters being part of it, with Clinton you just have to report the facts.

What’s beautiful about the bullshit “Don’t like Hilary = automatically sexist” argument, is that there’s literally no way to argue against it, because one can’t prove a negative. So you get goaded into pointing to women you do support, and then that is used as further evidence you’re sexist. It obviously can’t be that…

I’m all for making it easier for everyone to vote, but I don’t think a federal holiday is the answer. Think about who does and doesn’t work on holidays and what holidays have become.

Translation: “We keep trying to pretend anyone that supports Bernie Sanders is sexist, and that’s not really working, so we’ll call every woman they DO support a token! That’ll show them!”

I’ve heard that about kidney stones and believe it. And while I don’t know what it feels like to be kicked in the balls, until said ball kicking lasts 18 hours (in my case) with a 9 month build-up, I refuse to believe it hurts more.

I agree that selective service should be abolished, but since we’re keeping it, I think we should make it universal until such time that we can abolish the draft.

men have a higher rate suicide

I’d love to see a universal draft that offered a wide set of service options, such as working in elder care, literacy training, youth mentoring, civic infrastructure projects, and so on. And it would come with the same benefits you get from military service (preferably improved): health care and education.

I believe I’m still on the draft after changing my birth certificate and everything else. You pretty much can’t get off it. For me specifically, it doesn’t matter because I aged out.

I don't know why he's worried, it's not like he wouldn't buy their way out of it anyway, if it ever came down to that.

Alternatively there ought to be a national service that doesn’t have to be military in nature. Give 2 to four years to teaching in lower income schools, building bridges or improving infrastructure and in exchange free college education and health care for the rest of your life.

Too bad because you missed this nugget of privilege:

“I don’t want to see my daughters put in a place where they have to get drafted.”

See, your kids and mine are good enough for cannon fodder, not his precious snowflakes.

He voted against his own amendment, arguing that anyone who favored it would be siding with the administration.

Yup. There should be no draft or universal draft. Men only is antiquated bullshit.

That seemed more like an argument against having a draft at all than against having women included.

no one should have to register for the draft, but if it’s around i’m fine with women registering too.

And the flaming bush spake, and it said, “Lo, behold, it is the face of stupid.”
