“Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the race. As such, supporters will have to vote for the remaining candidate, Hillary Clinton.”

*that’s not how that works, that’s not how any of this works meme here*

I was quite pissed off about her comment (paraphrasing), “I can’t think of anyone else besides Bernie who would think of me, a woman running for president, as part of the Establishment.”

What no on says about this “free college for Billionaires” comment is that Hillary’s system, by definition involved poor people having to prove they’re poor in order to get free college.

Only Democrats have an actual choice this election, evidently. From an international standpoint, our nation—on the whole—is so far into the authoritarian right, it’s ridiculous. I don’t actually mind where you find yourself among these Democratic positions; either Democrat is good on social issues like criminal…

Yoiks. A 50% tax rate on earnings over $5 million isn’t only possible, we were doing it for decades and decades before Reagan. So I don’t understand that entire half of the conversation.

Immediately, a fun and upbeat email from Hillary’s camp.

Same. Even if the music isn’t that great, she gets all my money for going through this shit.

The minute Kesha puts out a new record, I’m going to buy ten copies and roll around in a pile of glitter.

Free Kesha!

I’m not the biggest Ke$ha fan (it hurt me to type her name like that), but I’m glad things are going in her favor. Dr. Luke seems like a gross piece of shit, and I hope Ke$ha (ugh) can release her music soon.

Again, where are you getting the idea that she has more of a chance to pass stuff through congress better than Bernie? Aside from the fact that she doesn’t identify as ‘socialist’. If socialist was such stigma then he wouldn’t have made it this far, nor would he be showing so well in the polls. He’d have been dead in…

I’m a woman and I’d love to see our first female president and I’ll vote for Hill if she gets the nom. But like... the policy differences between Obama and Hill were a lot smaller than the differences between Hill and Bernie. I dont think you can really compare the two.

How horribly rude of me, thinking that I had a fucking right to engage in the political processes of this country. Must have missed that day of civics where they went over how we're obligated to go with the safest choice, lest we be kicked out.

Preach, yo. At the end of the day, I look at the platforms of EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE and it’s laughable to be like “oh, yes, under you, you would GUARANTEE that this wouldn’t/would happen”. We get it. We should all get it. But when it comes down to it, I need the tenacity, optimism, and drive of somebody like Bernie…

Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

This one, from the original piece at the New Yorker, is almost unbelievable:

Bernie is a shill for democratic rule. I'll take that shill any day.

This. It’s especially dangerous because it also fosters the “if they’re all bad, why bother voting?” apathy that’s already endemic. The last thing we need is less voter engagement.

If you don’t believe Bernie Sanders can get the nod, I point you to the candidacy of George McGovern. If you don’t believe he can win the presidency, I point you to Jimmy Carter. The history of campaigns for the executive branch is littered with the successes of individuals who were considered party outsiders.
