Sure, but when “this chance” is pretty much down to getting superdelegates to go against the leader in both votes and pledged delegates at this point, it’s not really a good look. It would be one thing if he had solely based his appeal on Bernie’s potential in the remaining primaries, but when asked point blank if he…

Sorry I left off the scare quotes. I don’t think she’s a monster.

I can almost sort of agree with Bernie supporters to the extent that the October deadline is a bit extreme, but at the same time, I’m sick of him characterizing every undemocratic aspect of the primaries that benefit Clinton as some sort of massive voter fraud, while touting and crowing about victories that also came…

At best, they should go along proportionally, which would still result in a Clinton victory.

They were disenfranchised in October, as they have been for decades. If Bernie had a problem with it, he should have spoke up then. He’s only making an issue of it now because he never expected to be here at this point, which is stupid. Change the rules before the game starts or else don’t complain when those rules…

I think what’s really good about the Sanders campaign is that it really proved there is also an anti-esatablishment voice within the Democratic Party as well. Bernie is not the candidate to make that voice succeed, nor would he be a good president (I’ll still obvz vote for him because he is 10000000% better than the…

You forgot caucuses...

Yes. The thing is, we do need to fix “the system” and we do need to dramatically revolutionize our broken 2-party way of life in this country. If this election cycle has told us anything, its that, from people on both sides. I agree with almost everything Bernie is saying, but I can’t support him. The revolution is…

Did anyone watch Bernie’s campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, on MSNBC tonight? He basically said even if Clinton wins both the pledged delegates and the voters, they are going to take the fight to the convention. If they succeed I will still vote for him, because what are my other choices, but they are still openly…

Thank you. I’m sorry, but frankly this notion that supporting Clinton solely/mostly because she is a woman and having a female president is important to you is NOT a position deserving of criticism, especially if you agree with most of their platforms. Is it how I would choose a president? Probably not, unless the…

Admittedly, Clinton supporters (cough Madeline Albright) have said some pretty stupid shit on this issue, and certainly the notion that a woman should feel obligated to vote for Clinton because of her gender is absurd and offensive. At the same time, the flip-side of statements from Sanders supporters like Sarandon is…

Oh 100%. I was more saying that this was an intentional choice on their part and not just mere ignorant “insensitivity.”

But isn’t using the “history month” moniker kind of their point? Like it seems as though they were riffing on the assholes who are always like “why isn’t there White History Month?” or whatever. The project seems problematic to say the least, but I think they knew exactly what they were doing when they called it…

Yeah, and in almost every other country soccer is a sport people care about, so of course the Men’s teams in all those other countries will get way more revenue. In the US no one really gives a shit about soccer except kind of during the World Cup. The Women’s team actually wins and earned way more revenue than the…

Paul Weiss is definitely on the wrong side of the tobacco thing, but a Paul Weiss partner, Roberta Kaplan, was the lawyer in US v. Windsor that got DOMA repealed. That said, I work at a similar law firm to Paul Weiss in a transactional group, often on the other side from them. They are beyond a doubt, the most…

I think that has a lot to do with it. While one would think that a show like Empire, which is a “specifically black” story, but one about a record label, would be more universal, I totally get why a show like Black-ish, where a lot of the humor is culturally contextual to American audiences might be a harder sell…

“He’ll destroy Hillary because he’s shameless and lies so much that it’s second nature to him (he knows his followers don’t care) and he can’t be rattled as a result.”

How the fuck does he keep getting away with just brazenly lying? I mean I get that all politicians lie to an extent, but like he just constantly straight up lies about things that are easily verifiable and the media just let him get away with it time and time again. It would be great tv to watch him squirm and sputter…

I’m not trying to get in a fight, but like I’m just saying that its odd that the article would mention Eclipsed and not at least also mention that it also had an all-female creative team. Also, the article is written in the sense that a Broadway show with an all-female creative team still hasn’t opened since 1984,…

It is a privilege because for a lot of people a Trump presidency would be far more disastrous than a Clinton one. A Trump presidency poses actual risks to their lives and way of life that a Clinton presidency at its worst never will. These people don’t have the luxury of being able to stand by their principles and let…
