But here’s the thing: Democrats didn’t primary him.

Mello has a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood.

Sure, formal and coordinated Democrat support against the independent candidate had nothing to do with that, and he mostly lost closed primaries while winning open primaries and caucuses. But go with the Democrat who’s chronically unable to pick up the votes of non-Democrats, don’t let me tell you how to live your…

Yeah. If Mello is the wrong candidate to endorse, the Democrats should have primaried him when they had the chance.

I was with you the whole time until the conclusion was fuck Bernie? Every seat matters. Oh god, I did not mean for that to be a BLM parody. My takeaway was that Bernie is demonstrating that compromising is a better choice than deciding to lose (as there was no other Democrat running).

I posted it because his voting record over the decades has always been in favor of women’s rights and access to healthcare. Here’s more. He even sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act in 1993 and has voted in line with women’s interests for decades. He has a 100 percent approval rating with NARAL as well, and has…

I’m sorry, but is everyone just in some magical bubble and ignoring the compromises that a middle America Democrat has to make? Bernie’s RIGHT in the sense that we absolutely need more Democrats on the local and state level to make a change.

She replaced a retiring Democrat and got an imploding Giuliani as an opponent, who was replaced by a relative unknown named Lazio. Warren had to unseat a relatively popular incumbent in Scott Brown. The situations are not really comparable.

Look, I voted for and liked Hillary a lot, but the fact that she was a bad candidate is NOT a myth. She was. The archaic system you mention is HOW WE ELECT PRESIDENTS. Until that changes, candidates need to win the EC, not the popular vote. She and her crew fucked that up in a BIG way.

Well — yeah. Marilyn is correct. The popular vote does not and never has determined the presidency. You want to help fight to eliminate or modify the EC? Great. But Marilyn is 100% correct in what she wrote, and it doesn’t help us at all to keep whining about the popular vote, because the getting the popular vote will…

I mean, it’s pretty much accepted she had a massive institutional advantage over Sanders in the primary (not that I’m too sore about that—dude wasn’t a Democrat and only ran in the primary to up his exposure. He shouldn’t have expected to be treated fairly).

And HRC had scandal after scandal to harp on. Plus she’s cold and not very well liked. She was so disliked that she lost to DONALD TRUMP HOLY MOLY. Bernie might have appealed to the WI/Rust Belt people that fell to Trump’s populism. Bernie had the same populist leverage.

Yeah, I’m guessing the people who really liked Bernie Sanders would have really flipped out once they found out the very well hidden secret that he was Jewish.

Do realize the article says the guy has said he will not support any anti choice legislation in the future. How is that different from Hillary saying a marriage is between a man and woman only but promising to support gay rights during her campaign?  

When a Republican wins and passes Draconian shit you have no one to blame but yourself. This guy is a Democrat and likely could be swayed to the pro choice side, but no, not good enough. Good luck getting birth control paid for by insurance two years from now, thanks for getting more fucking Republicans elected.

I’m not “acting like” anything.

yeah i like sanders but this is a pretty big misstep.

Both Clinton and Sanders have 100% scores for PP ratings.

The incumbent that Mello is running against has destroyed the city budget to the extent that they’re actually reverting city streets back to gravel because they can’t afford to fix potholes. She’s opposed LGBT protections, is for raising utility fees by huge amounts that low income people can’t afford, and she openly…

“So progressive. So inspiring.”
