Justice democrats is a shitty “The Young Turks” offshoot. They were the ones that influenced so many to stay home in November. They spouted that, “THE TWO PARTIES ARE THE SAME,” rhetoric that got us in this shit situation in the first place. Fuck these guys.

Isn’t it amazing how the Bros behave just like Trumpets in that the second you criticize their boy they pivot to “YEAH WELL CLINTON!” when she’s sitting at home and the other two are in office.

So, pray tell, why does Sanders get to be the straight white dude who decides which civil rights women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community have to abandon in order to achieve economic stability?

uh yeah he pretty much did all that, what with his contested convention talk and his grumpy stone face at the convention

So what you’re saying is we should vote for the less progressive Democrat to stop the awful Republican?

So, again, wait for that candidate by all means. While you’re waiting, and/or demonizing those who aren’t pure enough, the GOP will continue their fuckery.

Not for nothing, but I find it incredibly ironic how much all of the Hillary supporters, who constantly howled about these so-called “purity tests” by Sanders supporters (which was just one bullshit claim in a long line of bullshit claims) are now laying Sanders open because he suddenly isn’t “pure” enough.

It hasn’t worked out because we’ve got “progressives” like Bernie who came storming in to the 2016 primary wanting to bitch about Wall Street speeches and superdelegates while the other party was building an entire platform dedicated to eliminating the rights of anyone who wasn’t a straight white Evangelical male.

Can’t say I disagree with Sanders as it relates to Mello. If the left wants to win, then they actually have to turn an eye away from purity bullisht and toward...y’know...actually getting some points up on the fucking board.

What???? Patrick Leahy is the Democratic Senator VT.

But he left the Dems, won’t share his supporter list and shades any Dem candidate that doesn’t meet his ideological purity test and holds grudges - see John Lewis/ Jon Ossoff.

Unless you’ve got a crystal ball somewhere you’re just talking out of the side of your neck. I love how white Bernie supporters could give a damn about anything on The Root unless it’s about Sanders. It’s that kind of thinking that cost him the popular vote in the Dem primaries.

Holy cow, you have given me a lot to Google!

Yep. The general election would have devoured him. I think Trump would have beaten him in the EC and the popular vote after the RNC got done running ads with pictures of him on his honeymoon in Moscow.

Hi.

“I voted for Hillary but I will never vote Democrat again with the way you miserable bags of feces have acted towards your fellow Americans since the election.”

If I was Hillary this would’ve been me:

The story of the 2016 election is that a strong, dedicated, prepared female ran against two snake-oil salesmen who promised to fix all the wypipo’s problems. And it still took a coordinated effort of a legion of powerful white men and all their minions to take her down.

Hi Stephen!
