OLIVERRRRR!!!!

Don’t you get it? The neoliberal era is over. Millennials are in their fucking 30's now. You can no longer just pat them on the head like they are children. They are not buying this patronizing “that’s just how the sausage is made” bullshit. These celebrity dinners ARE obscene and always have been. Didn’t you get…

No, idiot, it isn’t.

You’re absolutely right that you can’t do it alone.

Wow, if only you could unleash all this pent up anger on people who are actually trying to oppress you rather than someone who just happens to be male and is on your side!

“It’s okay to take $25 from someone making minimum wage?”.

This thread devolved spectacularly. I give you my admiration.

It does feel like we’ve entered some sort of parallel universe, doesn’t it? Remember when taking campaign donations from lobbyists was a bad thing? Earlier this year, the DNC also opened the doors to contributions from lobbyists, which Obama had banned in 2008:

But, but, Hillary is so progressive! Because she’s a woman! So even though she falls in lock step with every tired campaign tactic used by old white men for decades, we should all look the other way because she's a woman and therefore superior to any other democratic candidate despite her incredibly conservative…

I hear a lot about ‘Bernie bros’ and how intolerant his supporters are but HOLY CRAP, I see so many people attacking his views and his supporters. This whole things is so gross.

The irony of a whiny bitch complaining someone else is whining. Sanders is fighting an uphill battle and youre muttering that he ought to pull his punches. Is it because youre a bitch and cant handle your candidate being called out for being terrible?

Yeah there’s no way a 300k for a two plate dinner is a gross waste of funds. No way. No, to those thousands of Americans going to bed without dinner the outrage is the 27 dollars blue collar workers are donating. You pillock.

That seems like a total red herring here. He’s talking about money *corrupting* politics and the influence of big donors. Besides, did you ever stop and think about why the Clinton campaign keeps pushing this point about the “top 10?” It’s because her campaign clearly pays men more than women - and the overwhelming…

Gee fuq Jezebel Liberals.

This is so true. A vote for Hillary is a vote for the patriarchy, within which she is thoroughly entrenched. There’s a lot of complaints here about “Bernie Bros” and “I like Bernie but I despise his supporters”, but in fact the bulk of the vitriol and whining I see here is coming from the Hillary camp. I wish people…

So you guys cool with Citizens United now? I would guarantee my next paycheck that you would be raising hell if it was Mitt Romney. You guys have no credibility. This just about winning an election.

ITT: Hillary fans sound like Republicans. “Money in politics isn’t all bad!”

I dunno what happened to Jezebel since I got re-grayed, but it seems that right-wing apologetics have taken over and a $350,000-per-chair fundraiser—even unholy by Republican standards—is now just “how the sausage gets made”.

Were there principled liberal days? I feel like us liberals gave up decades ago, and made the way for centrism that consistently cows to the demands of the increasingly-maddening right wing.
