Even IF Bernie wins the general, (which will never happen), he will not have a super majority in the house and senate to get anything accomplished.

I’ve said it before on other threads and I’ll say it again: If Clinton makes this election some grand identity politics gender war crusade, she will do so at her own peril.

Wall Street is terrified of Hillary.

I have endured this patronizing crap from so many older women for openly supporting Bernie. I’m fine in the wang department, thanks ladies.

Don’t bother engaging with PersnicketyPants. She’s a nasty troll who’s been all over the Gawker/Jez message boards lately slandering Sanders’ supporters as misogynists, but of course with little to back it up. And if you challenge her, even politely, then she gets really nasty. Her demand that you read her entire…

This has made me lose a lot of respect for Steinem. Look, if she supports Hillary for specific and sensible reasons, that’s fine. I can appreciate that. But supporting her solely because she’s a woman and casting aspersions on women who don’t support her is irrational, divisive, and ultimately counterproductive to…

Right! The Democrats should just write off white people altogether, and concede them to the GOP.

Wow, so the centrist, corporate-friendly, establishment politician has managed to corner corporate support and endorsements from other centrist, establishment politicians? YOU DON’T SAY. I am literally in shock right now.

A black president brought out all of our hidden racists.

Oh give the Berniebro bullshit a rest. Among his millions of supporters are plenty of women, and I have yet to encounter a Sanders supporter who could be classified as a sexist or misogynist. Not saying it’s impossible for there to be any, but if there are they’re pretty rare. The political home of misogynists is the…

Clinton’s new campaign slogan:

Any cop will tell you that most criminals are quite stupid and make all sorts of mistakes, and it’s a good thing that’s true, or else far fewer crimes would be solved, or would be solved as quickly and easily as they are.

Whoa...I know she isn’t charged in the killing itself, but going off these mugshots, she looks like one ice cold heartless bitch.

Huh? You were 13 and he was 21, and he was not only trying to fuck you, but was rubbing your crotch and your friend’s breasts, and the police said that he wasn’t doing anything illegal?! Wtf?

She was 13 and police mention she was on a “teen dating site.”....WTF is someone in college doing on that site?

No worries, I just didn’t want people to think the UK criminal justice system is some dystopian, Kafkaesque nightmare :-)

The burden of proof being on the prosecution, the concept of innocent until proven guilty, and the threshold of beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal trials are all the same in the UK as they are in the US. You might be thinking of civil defamation law, which is indeed quite different in the UK than it is in the US,…

Oh calm the fuck down, sister. Nearly all the posts here are expressing disgust and outrage, sympathy for the dead girl, etc. A few are saying the dude is innocent until proven guilty (true from a legal standpoint) and hoping he gets a fair day in court (who wouldn’t want that?) Who the hell is reflexively coming to…

What’s the big deal? The university suspended him, it didn’t expel him. That’s par for the course when serious criminal charges are involved but a conviction hasn’t been obtained.

A female fellow engineering student, charged with being an accessory after the fact and helping him to dispose of the girl’s body. Yowza. The plot thickens.
