I really, really don’t understand this argument. There are plenty of reasons to prefer Sanders to Clinton but you know you’ve invented this position right? Sanders has said on multiple occasions that he wouldn’t end the drone campaign. He says he’d use it more selectively but that doesn’t actually mean anything.

Sanders can stay, but the Berniebros have got to go.

Yes! Plus, where was all this “disenfranchisement” talk when Bernie won in 9 other closed primary states?

Forgive me if this black bitch does not cry tears for entitled white men feeling disenfranchised. We have been getting squeezed by crappy new voting rules and have been getting purged from voter roles entirely for quite some time now - but you want to cry because of this very old rule that requires you to get off of

I’m open to arguments about the unfairness of closed primaries, but it’s interesting that the same people never seem terribly concerned about the injustice of caucuses, which are at least as restrictive and sometimes more.

we absolutely need Sanders to stay in the game. He’s pushing her to the left, and dropping out now without further setting the stage for his supporters to go to her will completely alienate his base from Clinton.

Dude. I’m a Bernie supporter. You are doing us no favors. Cut it out and be nice.

No, it’s not like the difference between Albany and New York City.

Jesus, I’m not even a die hard and I can see that what HRC has done is incredible. SHE WAS BORN IN 1947. She went to Yale Law when there were less than 30 women in her class.

Have you ever been to Burlington or lived in a town like that? I’m asking honestly. A lot of people have no concept of small town politics, let alone in a place like Burlington. It’s a white college town. It’s not a city.

Ok. So being someone’s wife to you is more experience than being the mayorof a state’s capital city?

An advantage, yes, but she wasn’t born with a silver spoon - not at all. She did a lot of legal work before Bill ran for office and was the first female partner at her law firm. If you look at her early career it is clear that she has worked very hard for a very long time.

Burlington is not the capital of Vermont. Montpelier is.

Are you seriously describing all the work Hillary did in the Clinton administration as the same as just being his wife?

Mayor of a town of 40,000 doesn’t address almost any federal issue. Clinton was an active and involved First Lady who shaped a number of legislative initiatives. So yes, I think that experience is more applicable. And if you want to try to make it about feminism, I would have preferred Clinton’s first lady experience

Hillary Rodham graduated with honors from Wellesley, where she gave the commencement address, and then attended Yale Law School all before she even met Bill. Sure, she’s benefitted from being his wife, but even if she’d never met him, Hillary Rodham would’ve been pretty damn successful.

Who was in Life magazine for a liberal rebuttal of a standing Senator’s speech at their college graduation, who got a job as part of the Watergate prosecution team straight out of law school? Are you guessing Bill? You’d be wrong. Sexism has some amazing blinders available- every accomplishment Hillary Rodham had was

So the fact that she went to law school, graduated with honors, has built a career (that she put on hold to support her husband in his own ambitions)...none of that matters because she comes from money and married a man who became president? She might've had a leg up but that doesn't mean she owes her entire career to

It’s not her support of Bernie Sanders that makes me question her feminism, but the fact that she chooses to define Clinton by her relationship to her father and her husband, rather than any actual merits or her own accomplishments.

Can all of these people who want a female president, just not this one please give me five viable alternatives with the public service and foreign policy experience of Hillary Clinton we can run in 2020?
