So it shouldn’t be ignored, but writing about it is a “hit piece”? We’re kind of trying to thread a pretty thin needle here, aren’t we? People are writing about this because he’s the one who screwed up today. Tomorrow, I’m sure they’ll be writing about someone else who screwed up.

I don’t even think there’s anything wrong with being a purist. Aim high!

So it should be ignored because everyone else is just as bad? Isn’t this guy supposed to be better than other politicians. If he’s just the same as everyone else, why would I vote for him?

My man, you’re coming into an article that has nothing to do with her and acting like some sort of “agenda” is forcing you to keep talking about her, and then lashing out when someone points out that no, this article doesn’t actually mention her at all. This is not healthy behaviour.

Yeah, I think cutting police funding would help a whole lot actually.

Again, if people were serious about fixing those problems, the money wouldn’t be an issue.

“It’s the people who are Hillary’s followers who seem to be setting the agenda so how exactly am I supposed to be responsible for the woman’s unwillingness to leave the fucking spotlight?”

He’s getting “singled out” because he’s planning to run for President. This isn’t hard.

Wasn’t his big step by step plan on how to break up the banks like two pages long?

I think all those are good ideas and it shouldn’t be too hard to make them work if you’re willing to cut money the US spends on imperialism.

“Also, if you can present me an example of Sanders demanding ideological purity”

Why are we still talking about Hillary? Do you want her to go away or not? Make up your mind.

If Bernie Sanders isn’t inclusive enough on race / gender for you, I’d strongly advise against the DSA.

That’s one reason I don’t like him. The guy is hardline and completely uncompromising on his pet issues (he famously kicked Hillary off progressive island for not meeting his standards, and he’s refused to / very reluctantly endorsed Democrats who don’t yell about income inequality loudly enough), but on issues that…

When you think socialism is a realistic goal, but reparations are “divisive” and “unrealistic”, it’s pretty obvious who your socialism is for.

Somehow abortion is always the “compromise” issue, isn’t it?

I swear, his fans keep telling everyone else to “move on” from Hillary but every time he gets criticized, it’s “BUT HILLARY....”.

Anyone who complains about how “racist” is thrown around too much is almost certainly guilty of some racist shit themselves and just doesn’t want to be called on it.

I think it’s certainly possible to support sex workers and still hate the porn industry, which is indeed known for treating women like shit on a pretty systematic level. Criticising the porn industry doesn’t mean that people hate sex and / or sex workers, but a lot of people love to conflate the two (you’re not doing…

I’m actually kind of upset by that. A million dollars is the absolute least she deserved.
