“Engman feels that she might be a victim of class envy”

Maybe that is the case. Even so, you always say YES OF COURSE THE EXECUTIVE ORDER TO EMANCIPATE SLAVES WAS A GOOD THING. Seriously, freeing slaves is not the time to disapprove unilateral action.

I agree the phrasing wasn’t reported accurately here. That said, I personally feel people who value states rights/fear federal overreach more than they value the human rights of an enslaved people aren’t too far off from how Jez is characterizing them here. They might not be saying yes to the question “Do you think we…

Also common among these people is the belief that slavery would have “ended naturally” and so as you say, it’s not so much that they necessarily want slavery back, but they just disagree with the way the end came about.

You would think that any reasonable, non-racist person would be able to make an exception for executive orders and/or other federal intervention where the enslavement of human beings is concerned. “States’ rights” my ass.

Here is how the question was phrased. Again, I think we need to be fair — we are the ones who need to understand the nuance, if anyone:

It’s too early for it to be time for this:

Hillary knows two things: 1, that she was going to lose the fuck out of New Hampshire. 2, that she is going to ruin Bernie’s whole entire shit going forward.

Except the bill had literally zero opposition, so his presence wasn’t necessary. Nice try.

not to mention biden...my god. I’m going to miss them so fucking much.

god the THRILLS! I legit am completely still wooed by Obama....forever and ever amen.

obama was/is an INSANELY good campaigner

Then good thing what Christina wrote is actually not true. These superdelegates may have already pledged their support to Hillary, but they are free to change their minds at any time and would almost never go against the will of the voters (unless, somehow, we ended up with a Trump situation on our hands on the…

2008 was for all practical purposes decided in March, we just had to watch Hillary Clinton flail around a few more months insisting it was just a flesh wound. As irritating as it was for her to hang on that long, I don’t think there’s any reason to believe the extended primary damaged Obama’s chances in the general.…

If Bernie pulls ahead in the primary race they’ll try to find a new establishment candidate to replace Hillary (i.e. Biden)

While I don’t dig the clear Bernie bias in the following Paste article (nor in this Jezebel article either...”the excellent campaign”?), I did find the q&a on the history and relative lack of importance of superdelegates to be informative: http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/…

Naw, I’m not 14 and getting shoved in lockers any more.
