I kind of really like it when she’s not trying to be friendly. I’d really like to see President Texts From Hillary or President Benghazi Hearings Hillary. I’m sort of tired of this idea that we should want to have a beer with our president, you know? I want a president who’s President. Leave the question of whether…

No shit. You need to win something like 2/3 of the delegates to win without superdelegates, which is a standard that no one else would be held to. Her lead is huge and I have no idea why Bernie supporters keep talking about it being close. I doubt we’d be having this conversation if John Edwards, who was actually…

So she’s saying the rich black family shouldn’t live in a nice neighborhood?

It’s coal. She came out against coal so the rural areas went against her. Same thing happened in West Virginia. I’m not sure why people think Bernie would be better, though. I’m pretty sure he’s big on renewables.

I’ll talk about it here, but like fuck I’m posting on my own facebook page. I like my Bernie friends. We mostly agree. I’m not getting into a shit fight about politics with them when they’re not actually my enemy. Especially since my candidate is winning.

Yeah, he’s totally consistent on how he said the will of the people was important but now he’s talking about how much more “momentum” is than actul votes. Hillary’s support for the crime bill was terrible, but that didn’t stop him from voting for it. Big money is horrible except for when he’s hosting fundraisers for su…

It is 100% bullshit. A contested convention is one that goes to a second ballot not a convention where no candidate wins 23,83 on pledged delegates alone. The superdelegates are a built in part of the process partially there to prevent contested conventions. They are like 15% of the total delegate allotment; they are…

And my Facebook feed is going to be insufferable.

He spent over 1 million dollars to win by 5 points after she stopped campaigning there. He would need to win California by like 70 points to tie. Right now he’s polling an average of 10 points behind. I’m not sure there is enough money in the world to pull that off.

When the heat gets turned up he retreats back to typical politician. We’ve already seen him flip hard on the fairness of Superdelegates and he’s gotten pretty squirrelly around his tax returns. At least Clinton has a lot of experience with that kind of deflection and is good at it. I don’t think he handles it so well.…

No, but I don’t think anyone would have been calling 2 million+ votes and 250+ delegates, close. No one has ever come back from 100+ down. I think it would have been over in March.

Not going to lie, I cheered on the “Deal me in” line last night.

In seriousness, among the commentariat on this site and progressives generally, the consensus seems to be, “it was a joke, man” isn’t an excuse for misogynistic comments. It also seems to be the consensus that the person telling an offensive joke doesn’t get to decide whether it was offensive or not. Calling an adult…

That’s where I went wrong, women can’t do comedy. You shouldn’t have tried sweet tits.

Wow, why are you being so aggressive with the diminutives? She said she doesn’t like it. Would you ever accept that kind of dismissive belittling from a man? Do you also tell women you disagree with that they shouldn’t worry their little head about it?

I have the opposite problem. I’m a 32 and it’s impossible to find 32 in a regular store like Target or Old Navy. Even if they do have one 32 it’s like a 32AA, which I am not. I’m 5'7 140lbs and have a swimmer’s back, lots of women are smaller than me. How is there just this huge segment of the population completely…

This is why I didn’t get into the show, because I knew after awhile the story goes nowhere. So many people in so many places doing so much nothing.

I agree. She’s starting to gather serious clout and we need a strong liberal coalition in the Senate or minimum wage, expanded ACA, and a stronger Dodd-Frank will never see the light of day. That said, I think Warren would go a long way towards appeasing Sanders supporters and an MA special election would likely go…

The situation in Brooklyn is fucked and is being investigated but I personally know at least one Bernie supporter who went and voted on a provisional ballot, even though she knew she wasn’t registered with the party, in hopes that the rules would be retroactively changed. I know she’s not the only person who did this…
