There’s no equivalence. Civil disobedience that promotes civil rights and pro-labor ideals is necessary. “Civil disobedience” that enables oppression or helps those in power, rather than speaking truth to them, is no civil disobedience whatsoever; it is merely the power of status, in a way that violates the law.

Wahaha. This is absolutely the best use of the Hillary meme.

You said “Democratic superdelegates have never gone against the popular vote”. That’s all I was going on. In 2008, the popular vote (that is, the person who received the most individual votes) was Clinton’s, and the superdelegates went to Obama. I agree that the person with the most pledged delegates got the most…

If a black woman confronts Sanders about the lack of diversity in public office, and he frustratedly says, “Well then why don’t you go run for something, then?”; it should rightfully haunt him for at least a little while. It’s an objectively dumb move.

I don’t know why Robert Morrow is so opposed to Clinton. We’ve had over 20 different lizardmen presidents; maybe it’s about time for a lizardwoman to take up the Freemasons’ thirteen-pointed “Helm of Zion” and assume control of the Bavarian Grove’s synarchist hyperglobal gay network of mind-control communist…

By this metric, she was very unlucky in 2008. “Obamabros” didn’t have the same ring to it, so the identity politics were less viable then.

Come the election, many self-described liberals may learn that black people are actually individuals instead of a single, unified voting bloc. If anyone thinks they know how you’re going to vote (or how you should vote) based on the color of skin, rather than the entire content of your life’s experiences; they’re a…

This is really really really bad optics. I get that she should be let off the hook for videos she made 10 or 20 years ago. But she keeps manufacturing new videos that look like this!

The entire political machine conflates race with region. Sanders does well in the north, even among black and Hispanic voters. Clinton does well in the south, even among white voters. While there is a tendency for black people to vote for more moderate and conservative Democrats, the black vote is nowhere near the…

If Clinton wins, she’ll be the first candidate with a negative favorability rating to win the general election since the 1970s. Sanders keeps the media and the GOP diverted, and that allows Clinton’s favorability to rise up to where it was before. It turns the primary election into a race; it makes Clinton the hero,…

He won’t be in more than a month, I don’t think. The longer Sanders stays in the race, the better it is for every Democrat, though. Especially those voting for Clinton. Every vote and dollar that goes to Sanders also goes towards moving Clinton left. We have much more liberal candidates than the one we started with.

Objectively false. In 2008, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the primaries: 17.8 million (48%) to 17.6 million (47%). Barack Obama was awarded the most delegates, and became the party’s nominee, despite having a smaller proportion of the vote.

I said that payday loans transform racism—cultural and generation racism—into institutionalized racism. Their basic function is to make money, by keeping poor people poor. Groups who have more poor people than others, including black communities and Hispanic communities, are affected more by the predatory loan…

There is nothing that shows Clinton is electable and Sanders is not, except for the gut instinct of the moderate and conservative Democrats. There is nothing that demonstrates Sanders is less likely to win against Trump than Clinton. Some polls show the opposite, but I don’t believe those either—the general election…

Dude collects money, provides no services or products in exchange, and pays no taxes on the income. How do I get in on this?!

I also wanna say, it’s fairly brave of Anna to mention this.

Warren is a champion. I hope she speaks up, but my gut says she’ll continue staying uninvolved.

Same reason #BLM stopped getting coverage. Same reason “no new taxes” is the Democratic flavor of the day.

What was her motivation in all of this?

Griff is right to disapprove of the song’s use.
