I mean, to make this more hypothetical, you wouldn’t vote for a male supremacist just because she was born female. It negates the very reason for voting for a woman, if she’s a woman who actively believes that men deserve to have advantages and privileges over women, and that women who don’t submit to patriarchy…

Even if it is someone in the Phyllis Schlafly mold? Someone with so much internalized misogyny that she would vindictively punish women because they are women?

What has Sanders done for unions apart from voting the right way (not too much to ask of him, given he represented Vermont).

And I agree with you that many of Sanders believe both of those things.

You sound crazy as hell. Good luck with that.

Yet Hillary *IS* tough though. (note: see Benghazi hearings.) It kinda seems like she’s trying to “soften that edge” to campaign (to mixed results). Personally I both understand it, yet wish she could just full on be as strong as she “is”.

I’ve been trying to make Turbo-Berners happen.

Yeah, they aren’t all trolls. This example is from a regular here. Apparently, Bill is a rapist, and Hillary a silencer of rape victims who needs to shut the fucking fuck up-

Thank you for not dismissing the comment. It drives me nuts when people dismiss the sexists / misogynists etc., because then other people come along and say “but *I’ve* never seen it” and it would be nice to have examples.

NO ONE IS VOTING FOR HILLARY JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN.

Dude, no one can understand what you wrote. Stop torturing the english language you fiend.

Is that what that jamoke was trying to say? I couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Yes, we should continue to elect the lesser of two evil with shit terrible voter turnout instead of showing that American citizens want to turn up to vote but are not happy with how the current system works at the Federal level. Go status quo!

+1 Right there with you, sister

Except... I’ve also heard that women are punished just for asking at a greater than men are. Because women are naturally less qualified and by asking, they are seen as being ambitious and only out for themselves (and where have I heard this before....)

I believe he did.

No, I’m saying the GOP has been lying about Clinton for years, and they will lie about Sanders too. What I’ve come to realize is that there’s a significant number of Bernie enthusiasts who have taken for granted that the scandals they heard about the Clintons are true. They think Bill really is a rapist, and Hillary…

All I can do is refer you to the book that contains some of the information on how things played out under the Obama administration - and direct you to the chapter titled “The West Wing.” I can’t cut and paste the relevant parts and I don’t want to paraphrase because that would introduce my biases. Its worth reading…

You’re presuming that the very nasty things said here are said entirely by trolls. But that’s not true. They are said by people who comment regularly on other topics and whose views align with a progressive agenda. Sure there are probably trolls, provocateurs, what have you, in the mix. But there are plenty of genuine…

Clearly, you missed the point in my comment where I say that this is something that, specifically, Bernie bros don’t understand. Not Bernie supporters in general.
