I wish I had saved the tweet somewhere, but I feel it was the most accurate statement of how I feel about both candidates.

“A few weeks ago, a man emailed me to “congratulate” me for “overcoming my gender” and voting for Bernie Sanders.”
Thank you. I was actually about to type exactly the same words: “however the fuck she wants”. Regardless of how the Millennial Bernie Brigade thinks she should vote and the ever-so-subtle ways they come up with to say so.
Answer to the question: however the fuck she wants. The question is insulting (not that I’m pointing fingers at Stassa, just, you know, at the entire culture of this debate).
I’m crying as I type this, because this whole interaction is very genuine. Hillary is obviously holding back her tears. I know that she will help this family, because her campaign takes notes and contacts the people that come to talk to her to give them resources. Fuck the media for trying to make this a tight race so…
And God forbid that one points out most of these people's response/reaction to Hillary is the result of decades of manipulation by the right and Fox 'News' and AM hate radio. No, they are convinced CONVINCED I tell you they reached their conclusions about her all by themselves. Thay CAN'T be manipulated.
Did Gawker media post about Sanders coughing during the debate like they posted about Hillary’s coughing fit? Or the fact that he was waving his finger at her the entire debate? Or any number of things he does on the campaign trail that would get her crucified?
I can’t imagine she didn’t also pull some strings for the kids parents. I mean, that’s some cynical shit.
Your first paragraph is the biggest story here. Sanders is barely even a Democrat and has never raised money or campaigned for any other Democrats in any other offices. If nominated, he’d be the figurehead of the party, yet he does nothing to bolster the party, and he needs to in order to get any of his policy…
THIS SO MUCH! Hillary can’t freaking win. If she set it up, people would say that she appears disingenuous. So she used actual footage from an actual campaign event, and now she’s exploitative.
How DARE Hillary Clinton, noted conniving she-devil, use actual footage from her actual campaign events in her campaign ads! So disingenuous and untrustworthy!
An even bigger concern is that I don’t see any significant movement to promote more progressive members in Congress. Sanders is well to the left of most of the Democratic members in congress, and there’s no push to try and replace any of them with more progressive representatives - and it will be nigh impossible to…
I get that we don’t like Hillary and all that, but I’m a middle aged pudgy white dude sitting in my big cushy office (and a wacky soft-hearted liberal), and I teared up a bit with that ad.
Some of my Bernie supporting friends are starting to photoshop Hillary’s face onto Trump’s head and I’m about to lose my fucking patience and my fucking mind.
Not to mention that the entire Sanders campaign rests upon a supposed groundswell of Democratic support that pulls in voters that usually don’t show up at the polls (Revolution, anyone?) and ... that is not happening. Turnout was lower in Iowa and New Hampshire than in 2008. I repeat: the entire premise of a Sanders…
HRC in her appearances, has her group of aides with her. The aides make notes, get names, and do follow ups. People who talk to her in lines at the end of talks get the same aides, standing behind Clinton. Clinton says “what is your story, what are your concerns” a lot. And they get back to people. When she heard…
Oh my god a woman is using tactics used in politics all the fucking time!?!?! Fetch me my smelling salts!
I just wish people understood that the day after Bernie Sanders wins a Democratic primary, the GOP would launch a character assassination campaign that would render him unelectable within a week.
Oh my God. I’m blubbering all over my work computer. This is a really powerful ad.
I’m fine with it. It happened at an event. The current political climate affects children, too. We need a reminder of that.
If we’re going to complain about using kids, then we should tell families to keep their kids home. Families use their children, too, to get the politicians’ attention. I’m 90% sure her parents…
