Everyone arguing “but he’s still white tho!” in here is proving my point. Jezzies wouldn’t dream of letting Warren get called old and white without mentioning she’s a woman, so excuse me if I find it a little weird no one wants to recognize that having a religious minority as a president would be a really big deal…

I hope Bernie gets well. He’s not my first choice but he’s a good senator.
Not convinced that that’s how it works.
centrists are vultures
As a fan of both candidates (Bernie and Warren), Bernie’s platform is inarguably more progressive than Warren’s and has decades of espousing those views on his side. If we are really asking people to be more progressive, this particular “old white man” is likely the best choice.
Fundraising from the public and not from corporate donors and billionaires is INDEED a qualification for fitness for office.
Bernie just raised a goddamn fortune from small donors. Unless his health is far worse than we have been told...he will continue to fight and he will win more than his fair share of primaries. And to his credit...he will continue to accept donations from the people.
A lying lawyer from Harvard is not a populist. If she was she would have ran in 2016 or at least endorsed Bernie in 2016. She did neither. That proves any move to the left is likely fake since as recently as 2016 she betrayed the left for the party’s corporate corrupt shill.
I’m not a Warren stan. I’d vote for her if it came down to it, but she’s pretty much nerd bait in a country which eschews intellectualism.
Elizabeth Warren has never been as serious about helping people as Bernie Sanders. That’s why she sat on the sidelines in 2016. That’s why she keeps waffling about Medicare for All. That’s why she will take dark money in the general. That’s why she failed to call out how crooked it is what Hunter Biden was…
They can't argue policy because none of their policies are better than his so they have to go for cheap smears. It's so pathetic. I'm glad his press secretary isn't backing down after this latest shit.
I see jezebel commenters haven’t changed since 2016. Still people who treat politics like a sport whining “I’m still with her” 4 years later and smearing the only candidate who has had fought for the working class/women/poc/lgbtq his whole life, whose senior staff has mostly poc and women, and who has the most support…
Only people who believe clearly manufactured smears.
Bernie has the most poc and female supporters, but go off.
No it’s because liberals weaponize it against minorities. As an example: As a latina why should I give a shit about having a female president if she isn’t going to do anything for my community? Bernie is the only candidate who has called for a moratorium on deportations.
Or, I care about the cause and the policy and think that anything involving a photo op is noise. Noise that is standard for presidential campaigns, but not something I’m going to weigh heavily when reviewing candidates.
Nope. I don’t want to hear about how many events a presidential hopeful attends for reproductive rights, sexual assault survivor rights, anything else that applies to me. Show me a voting record and a policy proposal or I’m gonna call pandering. That’s not to say that it’s a negative to show up for an event - it’s…
I saw the "Bernie Tweets" they weren't harassing her. That's pure BS. Go look at them.
I read the article, and much as I am not a big fan of Sanders, the examples given portray the bernie bros as just overly defensive. As for the Trump supporters—well, there’s major harassment in those tweets.
