Agree nearly fully. If he had ever decided to run as an independent, he would have split the party irreparably and we’d be fucking finished on the left. Republican control and oppression forever. He did the right thing by trying to work within the system. Because he did that, the Democratic platforms have been moving

TSwift is showing what an atheist she’s become; the Christmas tree stays up for the 12 days of Christmas, Christmas Eve through Epiphany (Jan. 6), the feast of the three kings.

No, I genuinely appreciated the article. My original post was worded badly (they AREN’T running the same campaign, I realize this; I was just struggling to concisely articulate my feeling that they’re basically after the same stuff and on the same ideological page). From 30,000 feet - which is where my perspective is

Thanks for the link!

What I’m basing my decision on currently:

Occam’s Razor: AOC and Sanders are extremely closely aligned ideologically and she decided to endorse the candidate whose beliefs are closest to her own. I would have preferred that she make a more strategic decision but I find myself struggling to get too worked up about it.

The reality that Bernie has the most diverse base going into 2020. If they think the Bernie Bro narrative is going to work this

I see jezebel commenters haven’t changed since 2016. Still people who treat politics like a sport whining “I’m still with her” 4 years later and smearing the only candidate who has had fought for the working class/women/poc/lgbtq his whole life, whose senior staff has mostly poc and women, and who has the most support

Bernie has the most poc and female supporters, but go off. 

Is this a textbook example of “fansplaining”?

Yes, cheering on the World Cup team is the exact same thing as supporting barbaric immigration policies, climate/LGBTQ protection rollbacks, etc. TY for pointing that out.

Or we could collectively agree as a society that certain practices are inherently dangerous, dehumanizing, and immoral and demand companies not engage in that behavior.

It seems I’m one of the only people who still likes this show now, because apparently the idea that a show whose only long-running theme that rulership by birth is destructive at best and when led by ill rulers is horrifying in totality, ending with yet another ill-ruler with a longstanding history of
