Just a sickening, not to mention dangerous, abuse of power that accomplishes nothing more than inflating his ego at the expense of this amateur. Fuck him.

Yes! Instead of just appearing in the middle of interstate highways or interrupting campaign events there was an opportunity for a legitimate appearance with the POTUS and FLOTUS during an event specifically honoring black folks in the US. That is the opportunity that you jump on and ride hard. Saying no makes you…

People in this side of the aisle tend to be rather good at shooting themselves in the foot, and excelling in circular firing squads.

Deray McKesson was there and is tweeting about it a little. He said it was extended from an hour to 90 minutes because the conversation was so “robust.” I respect anyone’s decision not to go but I’m glad that he did.

This all out hatred for Hillary is really starting to scare me. Isn’t this article in the same spirit as those (white people) who are constantly trying to improve upon PoC’s statements/actions about race in America? “Beyonce’s video is okay and all, but she should REALLY not be so consumerist” “Aretha Franklin buying…

How DARE Hillary Clinton, noted conniving she-devil, use actual footage from her actual campaign events in her campaign ads! So disingenuous and untrustworthy!

An even bigger concern is that I don’t see any significant movement to promote more progressive members in Congress. Sanders is well to the left of most of the Democratic members in congress, and there’s no push to try and replace any of them with more progressive representatives - and it will be nigh impossible to…

Ayyyup. Right now they’re intentionally helping him because they know he’d be so easy to take down.

Some of my Bernie supporting friends are starting to photoshop Hillary’s face onto Trump’s head and I’m about to lose my fucking patience and my fucking mind.

Not to mention that the entire Sanders campaign rests upon a supposed groundswell of Democratic support that pulls in voters that usually don’t show up at the polls (Revolution, anyone?) and ... that is not happening. Turnout was lower in Iowa and New Hampshire than in 2008. I repeat: the entire premise of a Sanders…

Thank you! This is important - A) because the republican party is a dumpster fire on pretty much everything, but immigration is a big one, and for all their concerns about the life of fetuses, they don’t worry about actual human American children, and B) because of Hillary’s “likability” problem where everyone always…

I just wish people understood that the day after Bernie Sanders wins a Democratic primary, the GOP would launch a character assassination campaign that would render him unelectable within a week.

It’s like bizarro world tomato face any time a post about her appears.

Sheesh.

I’m fine with it. It happened at an event. The current political climate affects children, too. We need a reminder of that.

If we’re going to complain about using kids, then we should tell families to keep their kids home. Families use their children, too, to get the politicians’ attention. I’m 90% sure her parents…

Is it better than Bernies plan to buy a bunch of visas then hand those out?

While I’m kind of “eh” on using children for political ads, this interaction actually occurred at an event, correct? What I mean is that it wasn’t a reenactment of something that supposedly happened or Ted Cruz pushing his kids against their will to prove that he can interact with “the humans”, etc. Using ads to pull…

While it never should have been published in the first place, kudos to the SB Nation editor for that apology (an actual apology in which responsibility is taken and failures admitted!) and for taking it down promptly. This may leave me in the grays, but Gawker hasn’t always been quite so prompt or apologetic when…

I know, for once it wasn’t, “I’m sorry if the article offended anyone.” They actually straight up apologized for it being a horrible article.

speaking on such
