Never underestimate Dem’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Dude yes. You know that Citizens United case that Bernie keeps railing about? You know what needs to happen to overturn that ruling? A fifth liberal justice on the Supreme Court. Without that, it doesn’t matter what kind of law we pass or what kind of executive decision a liberal president issues. Campaign finance…
But what about these rules are unfair. It seems pretty darn fair that you have to be a registered Democrat to be a Democratic delegate. That does not count as unfair.
I don’t get it. I just really don’t. I voted for Bernie. I hyped him up as much as I could to everyone who’d listen. I donated. I love the progressive politics.
it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals. But
This. I have unfollowed and unfriended more Bernie zealots than Trump supporters at this point. I voted Bernie and have been chewed out by his supporters for being a Hillary shill this entire time. The fact that I could ever criticize Bernie is sacrilegious. I have experienced the Bernie Bro, first hand and many…
I mean, you fuck one goat and they call you a goat fucker.
He already lost me with this exact crap.
I’m acquantainces with a die-hard Bernie supporter and am friends with him on Facebook. He was recently quoted in a Huffington Post article because he has a Facebook group trying to encourage people to march on the Dem convention to probably this exact end.
I am not painting *you* as anything. I am also, in my way, as I mentioned up top, “a woman who supports Bernie,” although as a journalist I don’t throw my arms around any politician entirely and never will.
The lack of organizing has been the death of the Sanders campaign. They put all their money into huge rallies, TV ads, and internet presence. They trained no one. His supporters do not understand the process, so they’re all ready to believe whatever ridiculous conspiracy theory or imaginary delegate math scenarios…
“it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals.”
in short, 64 Sanders delegates at the convention were disqualified, according to the state party, either because they failed to show up, failed to register as Democrats by May 1, or because they didn’t respond to attempts to confirm their phone numbers or addresses.
Also, Clinton won the NV primary election. Nothing was being stolen from these people. Blame the Sanders ground game for not having its delegates be prepared and follow the rules.
Employers should never get to decide what their employees do with their benefits. It’s ridiculously patriarchal. If I get vacation time are you going to tell me I have to use it to go to the beach if I’m pale and allergic to salt water? This is yet another on my stabby list. Don’t provide health insurance and take the…
What kind of sick fucking religion would deny someone healthcare? Birth control is just a pill, yeah it can be used as contraception but it has a lot of other medically recognized uses like alleviating mind numbing period cramps.
I’ve mentioned her before, but one of my wife’s 3 living relatives is a retired nun. She lives in an assisted living facility in New Jersey now, and she is absolutely LIVID about all this birth control nonsense. Like, she acknowledges that it’s a component of the Catholic faith, but cannot figure out “What gives a…
That’s crazy-talk.
Oh those courageous celibate little sisters of the poor and the BURDEN of their faith! How burdensome and miserable and chaste and faithful and poor they are, just like God intended. Do they throw rocks at eachother to celebrate the courageous miserable, horrific burden of their existence?
I thought they were waiting for Count Blackula to leave the White House so they could nominate someone who would outlaw women forever.
