They didn’t have a choice. He just kept on going and going.

The podcast Throughline just did an episode called “She Got Next” about Margaret Chase Smith, Shirley Chisholm, and Pat Schroeder all running for president. It’s very interesting, and if I recall, the same sort of mindset existed in regards to Pat Schroeder (if someone else listened and remembers exactly who, please…

Piss off with your implication I should drop into line. 

One of the most annoying things about electoral discourse surrounding “the left” is this bizarre belief that we think a Sanders presidency represents some ultimate victory after which no one will dare stand against our glorious socialist future as opposed to how most of us view it — as a literal starting line.

Which candidate would you like to have a beer with, told me everything I needed to know about how people vote in this country.

Your anecdotal experience aside

My Personal experience as part of this demographic is more informed than your theoretical, impersonal speculation. Have fun mansplaining white women to some other white women.

I think this is just centrists saying that they don't want to “blue no matter who”.

It’s interesting that “Biden” hasn’t even appeared in your comments yet, because most of your concerns seem to fit his message so well. Yet you—and the vast majority of those like you in NH—went with someone whose standing with people of color is often literally within the margin of error of nothing

This is why I will be voting for him if Warren drops out before getting to my state. 

This explanation could be shortened to “I was only thinking about who could win my tiny, mostly rural, mostly white state and not who can win a national election”.

The Dems are too consumed with beating Trump to pick a candidate. FFS, are we seriously considering Bloomberg, just for this reason? If we had the courage of our convictions, this could be a cakewalk. I mean, does nobody realize that Hillary was too establishment, too unlikable, she didn’t canvass three really…

According to exit polls, Klobuchar trounced Warren among college-educated white women, the demographic Warren has courted with immense success throughout the primary season.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I understand and appreciate your views. My family (whom I love deeply) is full of Pete supporters. Don’t get offended, but I find him to be a shell of a candidate. That by wanting to be everything to everyone, he stands for nothing. This worries me the most when it comes to…

I don’t feel like that’s a very strong argument. Warren has absolutely been harmed by a misogynist double standard, but she’s also not a very skilled campaigner or politician. Clinton never got nearly as much credit for her skills as a politician as she deserved, but Clinton was way better at this than Warren.

I don’t understand why people keep bringing up the 2016 primary as though it’s the same scenario here. The talking heads on CNN were going over and over the fact that his numbers aren’t as high here and Van Jones had to keep reminding them “well um, it’s a much more crowded field this time...” It’s so funny to watch…

The way that CNN and their correspondents or talking heads or whatever the fuck you call them have responded to this story has really helped turn me full conspiracy theorist. Like the woman on CNN earlier, who talked about Benjamin Dixon (the guy who brought this audio to Twitter’s attention) by basically saying “he’s…

I’d pay good money for Actual Trump to be the first man to walk on Mars.

TBF, Ginsburg says Scalia and Kavanaugh are nice guys once you get to know them so I disregard her opinions on all sorts of things.

Why would it be easier to get 38 states than 5?

I’d disagree on the last sentence: there’s one longer shot than counting Virginia. And that would be starting over.
