I’m not going to read the post before commenting, because I want to get my thoughts down fresh:

I didn’t watch the primary debates but I don’t remember a lot of think pieces about how terrible she did. And certainly Bernie didn’t lack for money with which to introduce himself to the American people in ads, a forum which he would control and where Clinton wouldn’t have a right to respond. There’s just no way that

Admittedly on the surface, at the beginning, I thought Bernie was the better candidate, and I was hesitant about Hillary only because of all the bullshit that was already out there about her. Around the same time I was looking deeper than that, Bernie just wasn’t cutting it on anything beyond really good soundbites.

I’m very much along the same lines on all three points you made, with exception that I wouldn’t say I was ambivalent about either candidate. I thought they both were good candidates, but that Clinton’s well-defined platform and actual plans to enact policy made her the best pick. Even if a Sanders presidency would

Let me blow your mind. I voted for Bern in the primary and donated to him directly. Then, I voted straight D ticket because I live in backward ass SC.

I never saw any polls that showed PoC as pro-Bernie. They were evenly split in the younger demographics.

I saw this headline and groaned. I read the article and groaned. I got to the comments expecting a shitstorm, but I am heartened by the fact that everyone else [for the most part] is groaning too. “Hillary Clinton had ties to the DNC” is not exactly scandal material, especially if what Xochitl Hinojosa says, that the

Yes, how dare they save the DNC by funding it and thereby allowing them to fund down-ballot candidates AT ALL while the Sanders campaign didn’t provide a penny. Monsters.

My truths about Hillary vs Bernie:

For the millionth time, Brazile did not “give HRC the debate questions ahead of time,” it was one email that was part of regular guidance that she gave both candidates (and wasn’t even the same question), as Bernie’s senior aide has confirmed. PLEASE do your job as a reporter or at least read a full article instead of

What are you furious about? She bailed them out and financed their operations instead of keeping all the money she raised for herself. They thanked her by letting an outsider who, as far as I know, still isn’t a Democrat,run in their primaries and drag them to the bitter end, even when Trump was already the Republican

Which takes the eyes off the <i>real</i> mastermind — Bo!

With all the claims of “rigging” no one can show any kind of thing which actually aimed to change the result. The most I’ve seen pointed to is the scheduling of the debates for periods of low viewership, presumably to give Sanders less attention. But Clinton got almost four million more votes than Sanders. She

As an avowed socialist to the Left of Sen. Sanders in a host of respects, I say we move on from the election. There’s no good to be gained from continuing to focus on Sec. Clinton’s campaign. Yes, there were unseemly dealings made in the DNC on her behalf, but it behooves us very, very little to continue to

One of the lesser commented on lines that she wrote tells an important part of the story. She talks about how the party was drained the last four years by paying countless political consultants.

She also passed along info to Bernie, too. Confirmed by his campaign chair.

I love how she manages in such a short time to make everyone evil or stupid but her - Obama is neglectful (because on top of trying to govern, focus on OFA, and actually campaign for individual candidates he should have been spending his down time raising fat cash for the DNC I guess), DWS is incompetent (possible,

I’m not really sure why anyone is (still) shocked that internally the DNC favored Clinton considering she had been working for the party for 48 years and Sanders was a Democrat for a year.

And he signed it in 2015.

Wasn’t Sanders also offered the fundraising arrangement? Brazile really seems to be engaging in revisionist history here. And that’s not going to make Bernie kiss up to her.
