you’re not alone, friend. I shockshouted at certain quotes, totally freaked my dog out. I just couldn’t believe what I was reading...

I dunno, reading the Washington Post article alone is pretty embarrassing. Sanders is like the crazy old uncle that you kinda listen to when you’re younger but realize is a kook as you grow up

There is no question that any woman running for any office, let alone the presidency, has to be twice as smart as any man and know every single issue front and back (and then get criticized for being too polished or too practiced).

To quote Barney Frank:

Time to bring back “Celebrity Death Match”

The Clintons are NOT why we don’t have a deep back bench of liberal legislators to draw on for national elections. It’s because idiotic pseudo-liberals can’t be arsed to vote in midterm and local elections in order to get those fucking liberals into office in the first goddamned place.

Personally, I’ve always kinda hated the general fashion-y trend of using bodies as props. I mean, it’s *literal* objectification. If one person rests their elbow on another’s head IRL, or even poses that way in a semi-candid photo, I take that as an indication of an unhealthy power dynamic.

Agreed. Bernie Sanders is the dog that caught the car and now has no idea what he wants to do with it. His campaign looks the way it does because he’s still campaigning like a legislator, even though he’s running for an executive office. When you’re running for Senate, no one really cares about whether your ideas…

I am genuinely shocked by this interview. That’s not snark, or partisanship, or anything else. 26 years in Congress, all of them championing progressive goals, eight of them since the financial crisis, EIGHT YEARS as a sitting, working legislator during the financial crisis and you don’t even know the legal…

I love the narrative that says that Bernie Sanders hasn’t lived in New York in over half a century but Hillary Clinton is the real carpetbagger.

You’d think he be more than willing to dig into the bank/wall street and talk about it. I’d even give him a pass if he didn’t know exact details. You know anything more than revert to talking points.

It’s widely being proclaimed that the interview didn’t go all that well for Sanders (theWashington Post is declaring it a “disaster”).

They are excoriating him for it because he demonstrated that he lacked basic knowledge on a topic he talks about constantly. He isn’t wrong about how the system is fucked, but it is a problem that he has zero interest in figuring out how to fix it beyond giving speeches. I like the guy, but this is a serious flaw of…

My summary:

I think you kind of buried the lede on this. The president does not need to ride the subway. The president should have some concept of how they would execute their campaign promises.

The subway isn’t like a big truck. The subway is a series of tubes.

Is it that much of an overstatement? It is one thing to not know specifics about every issue, but to not be able to coherently articulate an analysis and plan to deal with his main focus is concerning. That he talks about that issue 90% of the time makes his lack of comprehension even worse.

I assumed he was keeping…

Heads would explode.

Guys imagine if HRC had said something about fucking subway tokens.
