The thing that makes me scratch my head about the whole donations/Super-PAC kerfuffle is that Obama raked in donations on a scale no one had ever seen before in presidential politics. From corporations, from Wall Street, from unions, from everyone. And everyone nodded approvingly and said “Wow, that guy knows how to…

I’m Jewish too, but instead of him reminding me of my zaydeh, unfortunately he instead reminds me of every white senior manager sticking his finger in my face at work. Don’t know if you’re male or female, but I’m female and he brings up a lot of negative emotions. We all see things through our experiential lenses I…

Totally agreed. I will say the HRC campaign has not done a good job of hammering this point home. She has been a proponent of every american getting health care almost her entire political career, and a lot of the younger bernie supporters dont get that at all. I also get annoyed when Bernie supporters cite his…

Oh I have PLENTY of more substantive critiques, trust me. This particular thread is about his attitude though, and I’m sorry, but he is condescending as hell in this debate. It’s not just his finger waving, it’s the side eye, it’s calling her things like “dramatic,” it’s his way of discounting her view by saying…

This is what pisses me off! It seems really hypocritical of him to pull out the UHC talking point. We all know that was HRC’s pet cause, but that she and other dems compromised to get the ACA through. And after his time in the Senate, Sanders is surely well aware that UHC would NOT go through.

And by many on the Left, too,

Sanders needs to really quit it with the condescending looks and finger wagging. How come when it comes to media coverage he gets away with acting like fucking TRUMP, when Trump doesn’t get away with acting like Trump?

They’re usually grey and we have the dismiss button, but Gawker commentariat does seem more hostile than usual lately. Especially what it comes to sexual assault, gun control or Hillary Clinton.

I can actually say, often verbatim, what Bernie is going to say in answer to a question before he says it.

Bernie said “I don’t have a SuperPAC,” and I automatically, totally thoughtlessly, replied, “Oh, shut up.” I think I’m over the “I don’t have a SuperPAC” pillar of the Sanders campaign.

Somebody claiming to be a old colleague posted a bit of anonymous gossip here a while back, claiming that the nobody in his old law firm in TX wanted to use his office after he left. He was that toxic. My gut says this is 100 percent true.

“Ohio passed a Lead Poisoning Prevention Fund meant to battle the lead problem in old houses, it never provided any funding”

Shame on you, John Kasich, (for this and many other anti-women policies).

I’m no fan of neoliberal corporatist war-mongers myself, but she did a remarkable job of articulating the nation’s, nay, the world’s reaction. Give credit where credit is due.

Anna and Gabby, you’re both surrounded by deeply religious people. With no disrespect bro their faith, can you please ask them this burning question by hat plagues my faith:

This is an interesting topic, and unfortunately is really more complex than people seem to like to think.

I’m sorry, but you can’t pay a millenial anything decent, because they’ll just spend it on artisinal mayonnaise, vinyl copies of 90s albums, rainbow flag bandannas, and marihuana cigarettes.

I have to say, in full disclosure, that I can’t stand Hillary Clinton. I dislike her policies. I dislike her history. I dislike her attitude. I dislike the constant, unrelenting, consistent problems she has with living her life, professionally and politically, within the law.

I wish people would stop peddling the falsehood that the 94 crime bill (WHICH WAS AWFUL) led to the current epidimic of mass incarceration.
