If Bernie is the only genuine progressive candidate in the race like last time, then you bet we need him to run. I’d take new blood if there were indications that any up and comer had the bonafides.

She was a terrible candidate. Trump being Trump doesn’t mean she should have been President. Neither of them should have.

This is lazy feminism. The context in which choices are made and how choices are incentivized matters. Feminist analysis of culture doesn’t end every time a woman makes a choice.

Because it is an unsupportable and ludicrous claim.

Still avoiding all of my questions, like a child.

You are being perplexingly intellectually dishonest in the way you are approaching this conversation. It’s become an obvious pattern, and I am finding it harder and harder to take you seriously or conceive of you as someone worthy of my time or respect. I did not say “Obama was the least transparent president”, and…

It’s not clear to me what the purpose of your quotation is. To inform me that the press do a shitty job? That they pander to the powerful? That George Bush was a bad man who did bad things?

Compared to literally all previous administrations combined, since you ask. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/09/us/politics/under-obama-a-chill-on-press-freedom.html?smid=pl-share

Hey, I missed this. Thanks for the civil reply!

“So what do sex workers do after they find God?”

I certainly don’t think Trump is *better* than Clinton, nor do I believe Sarandon does in the way you imply. However, I do think Clinton posed a greater existential threat by way of her hostility towards Russia, and moreover I expect that had she won we’d find ourselves in a far worse position in a few years than the…

There’s a lot about this comment that is striking.

I’m not sure anyone questioned your right to feel as you do, did they?

I don’t think it’s at all inappropriate. The woman was bullish about a no fly zone in Syria, which is an act of war. This would have very likely escalated towards all out warfare with Russia. Her belligerent foreign policy has led to military disasters in Libya and Syria. She pushed for a surge in Afghanistan. She is…

Sarandon is awesome.

It appears you’re deflecting and not answering the questions I’m asking.

I was afraid you’d respond with something like that, but wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.

I’d define it terms rather along these lines.

You believe correctly. But you’re wrong about Clinton. She was a neocon war monger. Do you disagree?

Good Lord. Chewing someone out for the evident bigotry of not capitalizing in a comment thread? That is an embarrassment.
