no to this, see re “demonstrated ability to learn and grow.” Bernie hasn’t got that.

You and customercervix can start a club.

Yes, exactly. I'm supporting OP in being annoyed that the phrase "working class" evokes Joe the plumber as representative in the political strategist's mind, since that's not accurate. 

I love everything about this comment right down to the Jason Mendoza.

I... Yes that is indeed the argument. I don't see how we are in disagreement.

I think we focused on different parts of the statement. The part that makes me interpret the comment as such is the part about “who get older and more racist/sexist as they age,” so I’m reading the commenter as talking about older functional conservatives who are less likely to be galvanized as progressives. We’re in…

My feeling is that if we’re choosing between two people with similar views and strengths, let’s get the one who is slightly younger, demonstrably healthier, and breaks a glass ceiling. And who has a demonstrated ability to learn and grow. This whole “Bernie was OG!” thing irritates me because he doesn’t really seem as…

he’s not, that’s the myth he’s pointing out.

Solid tossup there :-D

Oh yeah one more - sometimes funky muscles keep me awake, like discomfort that isn’t quite enough to register as pain, but is closer to how people describe restless legs.

Different pharmacology. It's not a contest though, use what you like. 

An opinion is a fact your heart makes, I guess. I gotta dig that meme up again.

“Trans women are destroying every sports record set by women around the world. It’s a problem.”

Well, perhaps you could take this as an opportunity to back up your claim? The Vice article you posted basically states that there is speculative concern, but that the concern hasn’t factually played out in the way you suggest.

Op is like this lady

You mean my response to you? Nope, you’re just THAT special. If you mean to the OP, then no to that too - I asked because I genuinely wanted to read the source material out of interest in the topic, and he/she seemed confident in the statements they were proposing. Keep the good work, you seem very popular.

1) When discussing a topic, it’s helpful to be reading from the same source material.

Yknow you read a lot into one word there. I’m interested to read where you got your information, but now you just sound like an asshole so... Also looks like your own link debunks your claim, so troll harder.
