Yep, because he can compromise selectively when doing so is expedient. Kinda like any other politician. But don't tell a berner that...

Yep, the immigration reform bill is what I was thinking of to. When he and his supporters explain his vote against that it’s all about his integrity and how compromise is why we keep getting pushed to the right as a country. But when it comes to the crime bill, he made a choice to support it even though he knew it was…

Polls about hypothetical general match ups this early on are not predictive of anything, historically.

Apparently the fact that Sanders knew it was bad excuses him from voting for it. You’d think that would make it worse, but what do I know? Personally I think it’s good he’s demonstrated the ability to compromise in that small way (voting for something you’re not 100% onboard with to get something you do support…

I think this was just starting to become a thing when I was in high school... you saw a bit of it here and there but it wasn’t something everything was doing. My boyfriend got me flowers and showed up at my house to ask me. Certainly not anything major. My best friend at the time though... so it wasn’t even a big deal…

I mean, doing something like spelling out "prom?" on her locker, silly but cute. Staging a fake birth topped off with a strained pun? That's bizarre behavior and I am not here for it.

Jeff Weaver is a complete dick, and it's amazing to me that no one in this campaign has considered the unbelievably bad optics for them to call the first real woman candidate for president unqualified and too ambitious. Especially when that woman is Hillary fuckin Clinton.

But as we all know, compromise is a terrible thing that robs you of your liberal bona fides and makes you a DINO. Facing the realities of leading a government with two parties representing very different views is for cynics and conservatives in disguise.

So is your argument that it is better that he voted in favor of it despite his unique prescience about its repercussions because it’s okay to knowingly throw one group under the bus to benefit another? Just curious. There are things that Bernie is willing to compromise on and things he isn't - apparently people of…

Implying is one thing, outright stating is foolish and shortsighted and yes that would be true no matter who did it.

I guess I took it as more snark since they used the hashtag

I don’t know why that twitter account seems to think that the Washington Post using a misleading headline that doesn’t quote the Secretary and then another headline that does quote the Senator somehow reflects negatively on Clinton, but whatev...

That isn’t a defense of Washington Post here - they ran a bad headline…

That's far from the only thing he listed, and he's been accusing her of it from day one, so to rely on that 'if' as though it significantly changes the meaning of what he said is ridiculous.

Not arguing on what she meant by what she said. But if he's going to quote her he needs to make sure he's getting it right. There's a reason candidates dodge using words like 'unqualified' against their opponents because once it's been said it can't be unsaid. Artful smears, evasive answers etc allow for needed wiggle…

“Well, I think he hadn’t done his homework and he’d been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hadn’t really studied or understood, and that does raise a lot of questions.”

That was Clinton’s response to Joe Scarborough asking if Sanders is qualified to be president. At no point does she say…

Uh, him saying that she’s unqualified and defending himself with “she said I was unqualified first “ when that’s demonstrably false?

He doesn't actually strike me as a nice guy. Nor does he have a reputation for it. He's known as being quite cantankerous and single minded, and he does not respond well to being questioned or criticized. He has laudable goals, and it's one thing to like his policies but conflating his policies with his personality is…

But a bird landed on his podium! He’s practically a Disney character!

I love how whenever I bring this up, people tell me about how social issues like abortion are a distraction from REAL issues. I’m 100% fed up with issues that impact me, my family, and my friends being considered distractions. These are real issues. They are important. I want to vote for someone who will, at last,…

Yeah, the really disheartening thing now isn't even the interview Sanders gave it's the completely awful response to the buzz about it. If he goes off like this because Clinton answered a question about a bad interview he did, I'm seriously concerned about how he'll hold up against seriously vicious attacks in the…
