I think in general it’s expected that if you lose the election you go away for a while. Hence why it was so irritating seeing Hillary Clinton on the news every 10 minutes in 2017.

Pelosi publicly backed Henry Cuellar just a couple weeks ago. Hope you are consistent in disqualifying her as well as one of your heroes or whatever Jezebel commenters do. 

Why are you copying and pasting this reply like it’s some kind of checkmate? Of course a baseless accusation that attempts to derail his campaign will be seen negatively, and may even be interpreted as a “lie.”

If I believe Bernie is the only hope of enacting progressive reform, and all the networks are running with a very flimsy story that could damage his credibility, then I would be mad too. Her story didn’t have any outside verification. Why should his base be expected to accept it as truth?

They called her a snake because she leaked a story to Politico that couldn’t get any independent verification. Of course Bernie’s diehard base will react negatively to a story that claimed he was sexist when it conflicts with many public statements he has made, and came seemingly out of nowhere.

Is there something wrong with a politician using social media? Because I seem to remember a deeply embarrassing Warren tweet about breaking up with your boyfriend who ghosted you, or something very cringe.

Biden has tried repeatedly to cut social security. His behaviour during the Clarence Thomas nomination was abhorrent. He is not in favour of universal healthcare. He has not expressed any urgency to close the border camps, or investigate the horror stories that are coming out of them. (He also clearly has dementia?)

They have the same policies, or so they claim, but he would like to execute them faster than her. Is that your main concern?

I find him really unlikeable too. It’s weird how he tries to be the triggering-college-kids comedian and also the depression-imposter-syndrome-millennial comedian. Each on it’s own is bad enough, worse together. Like the “if you guys don’t stop being triggered I’m going to kill myself” thing makes no sense.

It’s so funny that Americans think they have lost some moral high ground that they had before under Trump. Just because the president is loud and disgusting, and people on Twitter was rude now. You realize the USA was founded on slavery, and they spent the 20th century funding and carrying out destabilizing covert…

I think there’s a lot of revolting shit from the music scene in the 70s (and even very recently - a lot of teenage celebrities had adult “boyfriends” in the early 2000s). But I think we are mostly in denial about it. If you point out Elvis was a pedophile with an obsession with virgins you will get reamed out. I think…

I know lots of consultants who are idiots. You’re being incredibly naive. The ex consultants at my tech company are just as mediocre as anyone else. You’re reverence of consultants is weird.

He only got 7000 votes. 

His base is younger and more diverse than any other candidate’s. Especially latinos. Maybe ask them why they’re being so stupid?

Good thing this is still the primaries, and there are four other candidates ahead of her. She’s fucking done after Iowa. All of these “but would you vote for X in the general??” conversations are meaningless.

Lol I literally can’t tell if your comment is serious. Do you realize how ridiculous it is? Can we seriously not criticize any women without being accused of misogyny?

No she voted for Hillary, albeit not enthusiastically. Then again, I don’t know of anyone who did, besides some histrionic freaks online.

sorry but who fucking cares about party loyalty? most voters do not. most people have seen the democratic party abandon prison reform, banking reform, and housing reform over the course of several presidencies. people do not see the democratic party as a reliable institution that works for them.

My mom will not vote for Warren because she thinks she’s a liar. The majority of people are not politically engaged, all they hear is that she lied about being native american, and it would indeed be a liability in the general.

I don’t see why he shouldn’t run again. How many times has Biden run? Did Trump not win the second time he won? His base was energized and wanted him to run again, so he did.
