I still don’t get the point of Mon-Fri Splinter at all. Like what does the weekday stuff actually contribute?

Especially when like 2 weeks before the election hes encouraging young people to vote. Ummm that’s what you do 2 weeks before an election! You don’t air dirty laundry about the DNC.

He is a Democrat who’s name is not Bernie Sanders, so he will be attacked by Splinter writers over every little thing. 

Thank you for sharing with us how knowledgeable you are of the candidates.

WHAT?!? You mean Bernie has serious oppo that wasn’t even known in 2016? Like the fact he fucking honeymooned in the former USSR, which will play like a wet fart in church all over the country? Like the fact that “for some reason”, he skipped voting on sanctioning Russia, or even going after them, for interference in…

That’s the real ire. They’re worried Pete is becoming more popular and will be a possible progressive vote spoiler for the, dare I say, “anointed” Bernie...

Enough with the “No True ‘Woke’ Scotsman” shit. If Buttigieg isn’t progressive enough for you, then nobody is.

Another progressive has failed at perfectly progressiving? The scales, they have fallen from my eyes! Man, what’s going to happen when the campaign truly kicks off and the press starts to seriously trawl through Bernie’s past?  If the slightest misstep disqualifies you, he’s as toasted as anyone else.

Uh... yeah, that’s actually an acceptable response in my book. At the time, in early 2015, there was a difference between “All Lives Matter” and “all lives matter”, a distinction that has since been erased by conservative chuds relentlessly using the phrase in bad faith. The man was speaking to an audience in Indiana,…

Ok! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

For those of us that aren’t part of the cult here at Splinter, that “centrists” thing you guys hurl at dissent isn’t the cutting remark you imagine it to be.

Aging boomers remember life under the New Deal and will be very eager to embrace those policies once Bernie works his magic

Because this site isn’t interested in things like principles or integrity. Much in the same way the increasingly Fascistic Right have co-opted the mantra of “Free Speech” the Hard-Left have co-opted the term “Progressive”.

Totally normal site with totally respectable journalistic standards.

Well yeah. I’m actually kinda surprised he even got the tsk tsk they gave him here, could’ve just ignored it the way a lot of Sanders folks are. But the righteous indignation that would’ve come down for O’Rourke or Harris or Booker doing the same thing would’ve been hot enough to BBQ a whole hog.

Did you seriously refer to him as “my Dad”? Christ, that’s pathetic.  

Good start. Now how about the fact that he rejects packing the Supreme Court and eliminating the filibuster? He’s not the hero Splinter wants him to be.

I do feel that it should be noted that the tone of this article would be dramatically different if literally any other candidate had made this decision- there’d be a lecture about breaking with the party, a diatribe giving aid to Fox and maybe a snide accusation about “Fox’s candidate” or “why are Democrats and…

Like “tooal”. The same way you say “voile” or “étoile”. 

LOL. As if any worthy news site that employs real journalists, some as old as 28 years old, would be clearly in the tank for Bernie and ignore any negative stories about our Lord and Savior while churning out blog journalism post after post on anyone that even remotely seems like a threat to our...I mean that site’s…
