Amen to your last sentence.

Oh my god, this! People who have never been poor do not understand how important it often is to present themselves as well as possible, to be the
“good” poor person who is clearly “trying.” If you can scrounge up the clothes and make yourself look presentable, maybe that job will hire you, or at the very least maybe…

These are the same type of people who look at someone in a supermarket and thinks they don’t look “poor enough” to need food stamps and assumes that they’re just lazy.

Threats of violence are unaccaptable, but if you think the woman was “just doing her job,” then you should watch one of the many recordings of the event.

Aggressive, violent threats directed toward women are widespread and underreported. I like Bernie, too, and I voted for him, but you’re human garbage if you think the right thing to do is to sweep this behavior under the rug for the sake of the campaign.

The point is that the Sanders campaign not only tolerates this behavior but quietly encourages it.

If I stood in front of hundreds of people and told them to shove their democratic rights up their asses and imposed my will on them, I’m pretty sure I would get threatened and insulted profusely too.

Does it not bother you [insert all the legitimate criticizm against Hillary Clinton over the years. From ‘super predators’ to her pivoting on gay marriage, from her private mailserver and her highly paid speeches for Goldman Sachs, to the fact that she basically called 3 women liars who accused her husband of rape and…

She may have been doing what she was told (by the man whispering in her ear about one minute in), but her job in this moment was to propose new rules and take a vote, which she did, and then she blatantly ignored the opposing votes, declared that the rules passed and walked off stage.

Agreed. I’m really disappointed in how Bernie/Hillary stuff has been covered here, and especially disappointed in the way they’ve forwarded the “Bernie Bro” narrative.

I think the cheating, the corruption and the disregard for democracy is way worse than a few nasty tweets and prank calls.

No, this story is about the fact that you are actively misrepresenting what happened, and perpetuating a narrative that has been discredited. It is NOT about uncovering the truth of what happened.

Why are you so mean? He couldn't stop he was busy drawing in the sand!

“And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed.”

Bullshit.

Right, communism that came from the overthrowing of an actual dictator, enduring through embargo and political lockout. The steps to democracy are slow.

who knew the family is not smart?

Kept Cubans in misery? How many Cubans do you know? Do you think all cubans have that opinion of Castro? How much do you think the US embargo against Cuba had to do with misery? How much of that was really castro’s fault, and how much was the fault of the US who funded supervised an invasion of cuba? How much do you…

Congrats on 14! I’ve got 8 years and I still get really twisted drinking dreams. It takes me like 10 minutes after waking up to convince myself it didn’t really happen...

Well that is simply not true. I have 250 hours of paid vacation time. I could take weeks off. I make eleven dollars an hour. I didn't even know hotels with washers were a thing.
