I mean, did you see the guy on Halloween? He was eating candy the whole time.

I really don’t understand. To me that just sounds like cynical politics.

I am VERY concerned for the future of the Democratic Party if things continue on this way.

People like me want the Bernie supporters to vote for HIllary when she likely wins the nomination. Thinking of that support as a all dudes isn’t helpful.

I think Hillary absolutely is better for minorities because she’s charted realistic policy goals and can make a credible case for achieving them—leading to actual improvements in people’s lives, rather than empty promises.

I, honestly, feel like white women are starting to focus on people who aren’t white women... finally. This just feels like the usual reactionary second wave nonsense from people who can’t escape seeing the world in selfish zero-sums and self-interested activism.
