Oh, I remember it vividly- it’s one of the reasons I don’t believe for a second that these same guys wouldn’t be shitting on her from a height if she were the other candidate in this and not Hillary. She’s their token female friend, which is convenient, since she’s not running, so they can swear up and down that…

there’s NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. if there are two acceptable candidates, choosing the underrepresented candidate is a perfectly rational thing to do if you value equal representation.

Honestly, I’m inclined to agree. Every time I see a Sanders supporter saying, “Well, Bernie’s not getting nearly as much coverage! It’s not fair!” I want to ask them if they’re insane. Sanders has received overwhelmingly positive coverage, particularly here on Gawker. Do I think it’s because he’s the flawless saint…

Tulsi Gabbard has basically become Bernie’s de facto female, non-white friend. It’s both irritating in its tokenism and hilarious in its transparency.

You can believe whatever you want to believe but I don’t think that’s true. I think she’s absolutely being honest: drop its schedule, do some research, let states legalize, and go from there.

I recently had some commenter on Gawker mansplain to me that Bernie is MUCH better on abortion than Hillary... because ONE TIME he answered a debate question and said abortion was between a woman and her doctor while Hillary got all “bogged down” talking about Planned Parenthood and access and who even needs to talk…

Yes, I have seen the warmonger attacks on Hillary- conveniently forgetting who was President at the start of the Iraq war (GW Bush), or who else voted for high ticket defense items for the Iraq war- as long as they were built in Vermont (Sanders). She also gets tagged for Kissinger’s push for the Vietnam war- even…

I actually thought her discussion of weed was pretty brilliant. There are, in fact, pretty intense repercussions to taking a Schedule 1 drug from banned to legalized at the federal level in one fell swoop. Dropping it down to a much lower schedule, supporting states as they legalize individually, and then keeping a…

Oh, I have no doubt in my mind that that’s what they would say. Not that I really see Sanders getting the VP offer, anyway, since it would gain Clinton very little (since his hardcore supporters will just refuse to vote for her because then he’s a “sellout”), and the word on the street is that he’s actually not great…

Yep. I try to basically keep politics off my facebook, because of the rabid anti-hillary sentiment people post. I am in Colorado, and our governor is one of the super delegates who will be voting for Hillary. When asked about it this week on the news, he said the effect of ‘sure, the will of the people is that they…

That’s certainly been what I’ve observed on Facebook. Not entirely, but overwhelmingly white (usually straight, but not always) men. And they say shit like, “Well, I’m voting for Trump if Bernie’s not the nominee!” and I just shrug and think, “Well, of course you fucking are. What do you really have to lose in a Trump…

Well then if that’s their reasoning then then why don’t they just say that then instead of doing endless not so subtle shallow digs at her personality?

Well, promising a unicorn farting rainbows to white men. The rest of us are supposed to believe that once we have income equality, systemic racism and sexism will just vanish. Or something. I don’t know, I’m not clear on the details- last time I asked, I was told that it’s good enough for Germany and France! and…

By all accounts, in private or in small settings she can be the total opposite of how she’s portrayed- funny and personable. It’s just that years and years of dealing with sexist takedowns, a media that intensely dislikes her, and 30 years worth of Republican shittiness to her has made her afraid to actual show any of…

Thank you. Bernie is the left wing version of Drumpf. He makes a bunch of promises, but can’t say how he’ll actually manage to make those things happen except executive orders, ignores women’s issues and minority issues, and basically is promising a unicorn farting rainbows to every voter, which he can never deliver.

Being caught admitting Hillary Clinton can be funny and cool under pressure is just so unhip, apparently.

The senate hearings were amazing, but seem to have been forgotten. Why wouldn’t anyone want a leader that strong and graceful under pressure?

There are about a billion valid criticisms of Hillary Clinton but she is very funny. It’s pretty universally acknowledged by people who’ve met her (including those who dislike her like David Axelrod) that she has a great sense of humor. But she’s funny in public too (like her reactions to the Senate hearings or her…

I think she comes off great in this video and not at all cringe worthy “trying to be cool”.

Could Jezebel be any thirstier for Bernie sanders? This is absurd.
