As someone who works in a hospital on the front lines, the people ENRAGE me. Their behavior is beyond reckless. They are actively endangering my life and the lives of my colleagues. When they get sick (and some most certainly will), they will absolutely expect us to take care of them with total disregard for our…

In the case of the protesters, while I don’t actively hope they get sick and die, I’ll also have a hard time mustering up much sympathy if that happens.

He had less than a one in 100 chance of winning the nomination a month ago. He won like four states not including his home state, and every state he won (except Vermont), he had a 30-35 point ceiling. In states he lost, he had a 20-point floor.

In re: your first paragraph, most of the Jezebel staff (including the writer of this) were pro-Sanders. So the fact that this writer was able to slightly be critical of him and his campaign is to be applauded.

In re: the rest of your paragraphs, yep. He ran in 2016, he didn’t seem to understand that a good number of…

“Finally getting out” when less than half of the states have had their primaries. Electoral politics are so fucked 

Wisconsin voters would have had to stand in line anyway, there was a right-wing State Supreme Court justice on the ticket. The primary should have been delayed, but if the GOP is refusing, I hope every single dem in the state showed up to get rid of Daniel Kelly.

I do hope the Biden and Sanders campaign work together to mobilize progressive voters. Biden is...not even near my top 3 choices...but this is what we have and he needs to run on a better platform than “I am not Donald Trump”

As a fellow Warren supporter, it’s definitely frustrating, although it does appear Biden is listening a bit more. He seems to realize that many of the ideas Sanders/Warren have pushed are very popular with Democratic voters (and Americans in general) and that he can’t just throw them aside. It will be interesting to…

It’s good that he’s finally getting out. I’m not sure why he waited until after Wisconsin voters were forced to stand in line during a pandemic primary or, for that matter, the voters of the St. Patrick’s Day primaries. I mean, it’s not like he and Biden have been actively campaigning for the last two or three weeks—wh…

It’s disgusting to hear Biden thank Sanders for challenging the Powers That Be when Biden himself represents those same Powers That Be in so many ways. I was always in Elizabeth Warren’s camp but am more saddened than ever that I have to vote for this person who has done practically nothing to further social progress…

This primary has sucked. There seemed to be a real chance to either have some combination of (1) the emergence of a real progressive candidate enthusiastically pursuing a real progressive platform, (2) the emergence of a youngish leader for the party moving forward or (3) the emergence of a candidate reflective of the…

I agree with Bernie’s policies, but the purity standards of his campaign were always untenable. When he could have been a leader for showing people how to make progress within an idealistic agenda, he doubled down on his undemocratic, magic-wand promises like canceling student debt without congressional approval. Most…

Mrs. Ghost is ready to leave me for Newsom. She’s convinced he’s going to be president within 10 years.

I read that and went “yeah, that’s called a deterrent”. And some woefully thick people need that sort of steep fine to finally get it and change their behaviour.

It also has to be asked what the writer would prefer to enforce a necessary life saving lockdown in a lethal pandemic outbreak that is already stretching resources to breaking point.

Also, it’s not clear to me what would be a better option. Sending people to jail? A fine seems pretty appropriate in the situation.

Yeah, honestly, fuck them. They’re almost at the verge of committing manslaughter. They’re lucky they are only getting a fine. If it wouldn’t make the problem worse, I would say throw them in jail. Fines are really the only way you can stop repeat offenders or people who refuse to obey police enforcement of the…

That the city’s brightest idea is to introduce cash penalties during an unemployment crisis seems wildly out of touch.

I mean, some of them are idiots, probably even most.  But the major faults here lies with the school’s administration essentially ordering them back to campus.
