You’re not crazy. She had high approval ratings and was even considered kind of cool there fir a while; that image of her on her blackberry became a meme about her totally collected demeanor and utter competence and people loved it. Her poll numbers only drop when she’s running. We want her to be capable, but we…

I also have this phobia, but I doubt I’ll ever be financially able to get a surrogate or to adopt so despite my love of children I’ve accepted that I won’t have my own.

My mom does the same “it’s not so bad” thing but woman has had 5 kids (one set of twins) and she was seriously malnourished and sick through all 4 pregnancies. In the last one (me and my twin) she was so I’ll she was hospitalized on multiple occasions. Pregnancy sounds like the worst and I don’t know what her…

He’s being fair by saying she’s only winning because it’s rigged, by bringing up emails and Clinton foundation instead of sticking to his own vow of an issues campaign, and sitting from the roof tops that he’s going to turn it into a floor fight even though he’s losing by every measure?

Actually if super delegates had to vote with their state (making them pledged delegates) she’d STI’LL be winning. Every proposed change, from making supers pledged to doing away with them to making the states winner take all....every single one of them still had Clinton with a decisive lead.

The slight difference is that Clinton was actually winning in terms of popular vote and the gap in pledged delegates was much smaller.

Been getting increasingly irritated with Sanders rhetoric but “it’s like an anoitment” is the final straw for me. That language from his supporters has been driving me crazy all along and for him to legitimize it is a step too far. Newsflash, Bernie, when a candidate is beating you handily in both popular vote and…

But is it art if he didn't intend it as art? If anything, it was ACCIDENTAL art but I'm not sure that you can actually unintentionally make art. Intent matters.

I swear I have this conversation with my mother every other day. She's become completely resigned to President Trump. She thinks that both Bernie and Hillary are bad candidates, not because she dislikes them personally, but because both have far too much that can and will be used against them. Nothing I say will…

Oh goody I can't wait for this bullshit to start circulating on facebook and all the previously undetected assholes on my friends list sharing it left and right talking about how sexist Clinton is. That's going to be super fun.

100% agreed. I used to be on board with ‘socially liberal, fiscally conservative’ as a valid and respectable perspective but more and more I’ve seen it for what it is: fiscally conservative, and fuck you I got mine. Straight white dudes who are totally down with their gay black friend getting married is.... fine, I…

None of the other reasons you can lose that right are due to being part of a protected class like, for instance, having a disability.

Mental health screenings would *possibly* reduce the suicides that make up a lot of gun deaths every year. It’d do jack shit to reduce homicides. Besides, how do you recommend implementing mental health screenings? Having people complete a survey? Pulling their protected medical records? If they’re on a certain…

I hate that we still just keep saying he 'claims' he was raped. What he describes sure sounds like rape to me... 'claims' in this context is loaded and denotes skepticism.

It wasn’t just a handful of twitter trolls. It was a barrage of attacks on her facebook page calling her every name in the book.

And I’ll find the article about it, but Warren’s negatives didn’t just spike they skyrocketed - kind of like how Clinton’s do whenever she’s running for office compared to where they are when…

To your last point re: Kerry and Gore, these arguments about her being just too cold and unrelatable always ignore the fact that Sanders is widely known in the senate for being grumpy and almost off puttingly single minded. Just like Clinton, he doesn't engage in the 'look how warm and affable I am' game but we just…

That's crazy though because Bernie Sanders is notoriously a grumpy curmudgeon - he's not known as a likable person. He's known for being pretty single minded to an almost offputting degree. He doesn't engage in any of the 'aw shucks look how affable I am' stuff either - but people attribute it to him like with the…

I wonder how much of that is because of the double bind professional women face - if they're exclusively professional they're cold and calculating, but if they let the personal seep in they're not qualified for their positions. Do you remember all the talk of how Clinton becoming a grandmother would or should stop her…

Warren ran up pretty big negatives when she was running for her senate seat. I can honestly see the same happening if she were to run for president - just look at how progressives turned her for not endorsing Bernie when they demanded that she do so.

“Ties that are basically required to run a national campaign”

I wish more people would get this. Let me say just to start that I’ve always liked Sanders platform and would be perfectly happy for him to win the nomination *but he’s not going to.*

That said, one reason I'm kind of regretful that he's not going to is that…
