Hey, Nader’s why your car has seat belts, Ayn Rand.

I agree. He commands enough respect from a large voting bloc that he could make the Democrats more liberal, without this conceit that he’s won or it’s even about winning. A lot of Sanders supporters joined the cause because they wanted social democracy to win; Sanders himself does them a disservice by assuming they…

I was being sarcastic in my initial post, so I don’t mind the snark. Honestly, this place could use more challenging discourse. I’ve never felt comfortable holding an opinion that got universal praise; some around here do.

I think Clinton and Sanders compromising on the party platform has been a good thing, though. I don’t see it as “jumping through hoops for the loser”, so much as showing that the diversity of the Democratic party is its greatest strength.

I think calling for Sanders supporters to go around saying #NeverHillary is bad a call, if you really want votes for Clinton. Rhetoric matters, and that kind of rhetoric steers votes away from Clinton. I think the soul of a “Never Hillary” campaign existed before Bernie Sanders came in to capitalize off of it; I think…

It’s definitely troll; this seemed like a good article for it. Otherwise, it’s another unimpeded beat-up-on-the-socialist romp? I thought I could at least spice it up.

The knowledge that some Sanders voters are becoming Trump voters? That reflects poorly on the campaign Sanders has run and his virtues as a candidate. It means that his supporters were just anti-Hillary instead of necessarily pro-social democracy.

This election cycle has not even been remotely nasty on the Democrats’ side of things. I think there was just a lot of hurt feelings that anyone might willingly challenge her from the left.

A question for Clinton supporters: Why would you even want Sanders’ endorsement?

Really excellent piece.

When my sister dropped her ice cream cone on the pavement, it was extremely careless. I pressed charges, of course, and now she’s serving 30 months.

Sure. I actually view Clinton to the left of Obama on some things, to the right on others. “Socially liberal, fiscally conservative” is the soul of Clintonian triangulation, and it got Bill elected too. She’s the archetypal consensus politician, which has a sort of fairness about it, which she has achieved using some…

Just because this inquiry is over doesn’t mean we can’t spend at least another $29 million dollars on additional ones. An amount I like to call three “9/11 investigations’ worth” of money.

I can’t honestly tell what’s worse for her most die-hard supporters. Intentional evil would have made her “Nixon Lite”; foolish mishandling of things makes her “Bush Lite”. Those of us hoping to vote for a finger-steeping corporate villain are kinda disappointed we might wind up with a slightly less warhawkish Bush.

With a single forceful finger-jab onto his tape player, the music of Night Ranger erupted from Joe’s sound system and poured across the White House lawn. He chugged his last Keystone Light, crushed the can against his forehead, and tossed it from his car before speeding off. A visually-annoyed Obama released his…

Yes. And even if Trump should do better in this election with Hillary than he does in his weekly golf game with Bill, there’s no judge to the right of Scalia for him to pick.

I wish I knew this last week.

While this looks great, the unfortunate thing is that the Supreme Court has very rarely sided with pro-choicers over the past few decades. Only recently has the Court viewed these states’ governments’ actions as the overreach that they are.

Minor typo in the third paragraph of your article, after the block-quote:
