Hopefully, the continued groundswell of support for Sanders will inspire other socialist-leaning Democrats to run for Congress advocating for, e.g. single-payer healthcare. That’s the pitch he should start making to his donors.

Ah yes, there’s literally no reason one would want to push Hilary to the left, only vanity. And when I think of vanity, I think of an elderly man who clearly doesn’t own a comb.

I’m not saying that his success or failure is proof, I’m saying the amount of money he got with small individual donations is proof. And with a good campaign manager and a good candidate, that amount of money could be plenty to lead a candidate to victory in the future.

Not even close to the same way Bernie has. Obama still took money from Super PACs and even took Wall Street money*. What Bernie’s campaign has done is basically invalidated the excuse that you must take money from special interests to play the game.

As this report has shown, I think the most beneficial thing Bernie has done is shown that an election can be run this way. With full disclosure and small contributions.

Since this is the The Slot, the obvious conclusion we are supposed to draw is that Hillary is A WONDERFUL PERFECT QUEEN GODDESS AND IF YOU DARE DISAGREE THEN YOU HATE ALL OF THE WOMEN WHO HAVE EVER BEEN OR EVER WILL BE! /s

In Vermont, Sanders got almost $10 per capita.

I’m not saying he isn’t liberal, but 1. you shouldn’t even imply a Democratic socialist who is very popular with 40% of your base is anything like Donald Trump, that is just fucking stupid from a strategic standpoint (even if it is a joke) and 2. he said Sanders made him look like Trump, yet he’s the one who told a…

Seriously? Ugh......

Oh my mistake then. Dang.

Yeah, I found the headline to be misleading. It still makes me raise an eyebrow towards her, though, as I feel like her people would have been aware of the script ahead of time and should have called it out, even if she wasn’t the ones saying the words.

Is it a Latino making a joke at the expense of Latinos? Because that’s not the same thing as when powerful white people make POC the butt of their jokes.

No, someone in DeBlasio’s camp, perhaps even Bill himself, (mistakenly) thinks that since he’s married to a black woman it’s OK for him to joke like that.

Can we please discuss the line, “Get one guess, who’s the most liberal, I make Bernie Sanders look like Trump,” because that shit is ridiculous considering the “colored people time” joke that followed.

... I mean, his “call-out” was also part of the bit. It’s not a real objection, it’s scripted.

Nah, we’re just on to the white states.

Apparently some on Twitter are defending this as a “bit” that isn’t racist in context- but who cares if it’s a joke, it commits the double offence of being (1) racist-ish and (2) NOT FUCKING FUNNY.

I do, and that’s enough.

meanwhile...

I don’t know quite how Democrats expect to make big wins, after ridding their party of liberals. The moderates are more likely to vote Democrat out of loyalty, and there’s no reason to court the conservatives.
