Well, heck, Andrew Yang, for one. He’s currently being asked to publicly disavow his abusive alt-right supporters.  

I defer to your experience —I knew many who thought he was a slimeball of a politician, but did people realize back then how mentally unhinged he is? Remember that NYY magazine cover of him right after 9/11 called The Mayor of America or some such horseshit?

Where do you see other candidates not being held to the same standard?

Sadly you are likely correct.

This chucklefuck has been all over the GM sites decrying Democrats for “baby murder”, so the energy of your intervention is noted with respect, but is doomed.

Well, Splinter is not exactly the Crucible of Finely Impartial Journalisms, is it. They wanted drama around “Bernie vs Liz!!!1!” and the way they presented the WFP affair brought it.

Leading me to ask, if they really distrust the leadership that deeply, why are they members of the organization in the first place?

I remember talking with the early union organizers as an adjunct at my college in the early 2000s, and I suspect you speak the truth. Yet I wonder if it would have been this explicitly aimed at academia under a less overtly anti-intellectual republican admin?

I mean, if your evidence is Baracka you’ve already fucked up.

As someone who worked on the Ranked Choice Voting campaign in Maine, I think you are likely correct. Some folks in the WFP-Sanders camp are adopting the ‘ranked choice is unfairrrrrrr” line that’s usually been more typical of right-wingers. Just a bit of cognitive dissonance that makes me, personally, moot that they…

Unchecked climate change will kill many millions of people and animals. You’d rather they do vague interpretive dance?

Die Unaufrichtigen Schwachköpfe does have a certain ring to it.

Yeah, but they’re the weird gothic kid in art class who’s older than the others and has seen this before and know where it leads.

I’m suggesting the people asking for it are not asking in good faith. I mean, look at this horseshit:

Ah yes, it’s autumn again, time for Germans to have “Pow-Wows” and get decked out in redface. *sigh*

Just read the comments over on the article about the WFP’s endorsement of Warren over Sanders if you’re really jonesin’ for a full frontal of this mentality.

After a night’s sleep, I feel a bit badly about being a little abrasive to you, whom I have always liked as a poster, so my apologies. But I really don’t get the stance of assuming that an entire party’s worth of voters would vote the same way as oneself.

It’s a private organization who makes their own decisions? It’s different leadership now with different opinions and ways of working? They want to spare their voting members precisely the kind of racist/sexist horseshit that’s happening in these comments? Jesus, you guys are like right-wingers with Obama birth…

In 2016 I was a middle-aged female Bernie supporter in a sea of erstwhile libertarian dudes, and it did get ... interesting at times.
