i dunno, The Root did more to explain the benefits of a Warren presidency than Jezebel ever did. 

Jezebel/Splinter’s wholesale post-hoc embrace of Warren now that she’s out of the race/Bernie’s way is very Jezebel/Splinter.

Damn, didn’t there used to be a way to star articles or something? I also read the Jez article about deifying black people the other day. The 15 minutes combined I spent reading both of these gave a more in-depth, comprehensive view on what happened on Tuesday than the hours of tv and talk radio since. Who knew that…

That photo’s not from the interview. Here’s the interview.

It pretty much is though...people are out here chanting “We know Joe.” Like, yeah you heard his name before, sure, but what’s his platform? Joe has nothing to offer.

I really struggle to see the logic of the people who knitted pussy hats and are now fine with Biden. Saying “grab ‘em by the pussy” is an outrage, but physically grabbing them everywhere else is fine.

That’s a long way around to get to deflective bullshit. There are shorter paths. But, I guess, like the Supreme Court opinions, if you can’t say it simply, bury it in pedantry, witticism, whataboutisms, and accuse the reader of being daft.

I’ve seen a lot of “never Sanders” Warren supporters lately, and it seems to largely be because of a subset of decidedly wrong-headed Sanders supporters being assholes. So it looks like a lot of the “taking my ball and going home” that Sanders supporters were accused of in 2016.

First off, fuck you. I never participated in any of the online harassment. What I’ve posted here is more than I’ve posted pretty much everywhere else and I, personally, have been trying to be very respectful about the whole thing. I haven’t hurled any insults or participated in any form of misogyny. You said Bernie…

I’m not saying that it’s just one person. There are absolutely mean people online. As much as it sucks, the internet is a crazy toxic place, so yeah, you’re going to see very passionate people who channel their energy in negative ways and troll/bot accounts actively trying to sabotage campaigns.

But again, this mentality of yours makes absolutely no sense to me. Every time someone makes this argument, all I can think of is the below meme, and it’s 100% true. A small contingent of Bernie supporters are absolutely very vocal and passionate to a degree that can come across as alienating. I won’t deny that, but…

This right here. I’ll just sit here very patiently waiting for extremely online Warren supporters move to support their most idealogically similar candidate, Sanders.

A ranked choice primary election on the same day nationwide is the only way to manage this fairly and democratically.  No single state can or should dictate the will of the others.

WTF how is that his fault? She makes her own decisions.

The media narrative—and thus, the polls leading into Super Tuesday—shifted substantially after South Carolina’s primary. Voters there are free to vote their conscience any way they like, and that obviously meant Biden, but we’re also talking about a state that overwhelmingly elects Republicans regardless. Why should a…

To which they would sneer that you don’t actually care about insulin prices if you let people being mean to you on the Internet away you. 🐍 

So, just because some people were mean online, you’re going to just completely disregard the policies and ideology of the candidate? While the temperament of Bernie supporters online is up for debate in my opinion, I don’t think that your perception of his supporters should affect what you think of the actual…

The delegate gap between Biden and Sanders is far from insurmountable.

The DNC strongly favored Biden from the start, and it’s all the more clear now when you consider that the delegate count between Biden and Sanders is not all that far apart. Now that their favored candidate finally had a good day, we’re all supposed to give up and just “accept the inevitability,” even though over half…
