the imaginary Bernie Bros who are going to elect Donald Trump, shortly after telling co-host Joy Behar “how important a voice” those Bernie Bros have been. (I’m still trying to parse the logic on this, myself.)

One really, really, really, extremely awkward optic from the respective ends of the Sanders 2016 and Sanders 2020 campaigns is that, by leaving the race earlier in 2020, he admitted defeat to another old white guy months earlier than he admitted defeat to a (to be fair, also old white) woman. And while it can be…

I can’t tell if your comment is replying to mine or not, because I’m not sure where the reference to idiot [sic] came from.

I know, I saw her article (and her many tweets) on the topic yesterday. I’m glad that the Sanders campaign energized her! I’m hopeful that she takes to heart the best idea of the Sanders campaign, which is that “we”, not “him”, are necessary to make any actual change happen in this country.

Thank you for supplying better coverage of that poll than what the article provided.

I have no time to respond to this comment at the moment so I’ll say thanks for providing the comment.

Thanks for supplying this good comment. I continue to be concerned that the slow degradation of checks and balances will lead to worse and worse choices by the US federal government over time and I continue to not be sure what the solution is.

My only comment on your comment is

My previous comment’s reference to conspiracies was not about biased media coverage but about the notion, floated by some, that other Democratic candidates all banded together to defeat Sanders.

I agree that some conspiracies are real; it is very obvious that rich people are out for no one but themselves and they saw…

I (strongly) agree that Joe Rogan is definitely only talking to a niche audience. But that was part of my confusion on the Sanders’s campaign’s enthusiasm about the Rogan endorsement. Rogan’s audience has a strong overlap with the (to borrow part of your user name) Dirtbag Left, which is a segment of the electorate…

At the end of the day it slightly hurt Hillary’s general election campaign that her primary challenger hadn’t endorsed her earlier, but the (electoral college) defeat was so narrow that other factors were likely more responsible. e.g. the fact that the media treated Trump with kids’ gloves, the fact that the media…

In re: your first paragraph, most of the Jezebel staff (including the writer of this) were pro-Sanders. So the fact that this writer was able to slightly be critical of him and his campaign is to be applauded.

In re: the rest of your paragraphs, yep. He ran in 2016, he didn’t seem to understand that a good number of…

he bested Sanders in every state in the county.

In light of how there have been a few mainstream media stories about how some Native populations in America are getting hit really hard by COVID-19, I was delighted to see that the top-mentioned Politico article mentions Native Americans.

Once!

There is, but it’s tough when you’re surrounded by a capitalist country to not also be capitalist.

It’s an absolute disaster happening on (what is sort of) US territory.

Yeah the LDS has been trying to not get too much bad press on the situation. They’re (usually) media-savvy, if nothing else.

Sometimes people who have been dealt a really bad hand in life seek comfort in church. Here’s an example of a group of people in American territory who have been dealt a pretty bad hand by, uh, America.

Institutions are, by design, slow to react to change. This is the primary reason why the US got stuck with the current sociopath in charge of the country; first the Republican Party, then the media, and finally the Democratic Party all were defeated by an insistence on playing by the rules instead of realizing, soon…
