It bugs the hell out of me that Sanders supporters are so critical of the endorsement. It stinks of sour grapes. We get it. It would have been a great win for Sanders (or any Democrat, really) to get that endorsement becuase PP is practically the poster child for Democratic leaning institutions. But PP was 100% right…

And taking all the time to man-splain to us how we are idiots (or low information voters - as I was called) if we don't 'feel the Bern'.

They comprise mostly of white liberal men. Maybe a very few white liberal women too, but a majority of them are white liberal men who condescend left and right to anyone who doesn’t pledge their utter allegiance to Bernie and blame any dissent on our vaginas.

PP is making the same calculation that female and minority democratic voters, who have so far failed to flock to Bernie in the same way white male liberals have, are making. Bernie is great, but they are banking their money on someone who can actually get things accomplished. This is a big country with increasingly…

I found one.

Okay, I’m fucking sick of this. The “Democratic Party establishment” is not a thing to be reflexively opposed. The Democratic Party establishment elected Barack Obama. It got Sotamayor and Kagan (KAGAN!) appointed. It promotes marriage equality, abortion rights, racial equality, feminism, and a social safety net.

More like there’s a sub group of Bernie Bros who are incapable of handling even the slightest criticisms of Bernie and completely condescend to people who try to have an actual discussion about his stand.

I agree completely. The two meanings I had in mind are 1) Sander’s presumed meaning that women, and not the government, ought to be in control of their bodies (which is not quite what he said) and 2) the reality that the government is dominated by men.

In other words you’ve constructed a false narrative about Bernie that’s completely divorced from the facts.

I get what you’re saying but the PP link is factual, and not at all harsh in it’s assessment of Bernie. It basically says that Hillary introduces pro-woman legislation while Bernie is a staunch supporter of such legislation.

And here come the bernie bros breathing fire and scorching the earth in 5.4.3.2.1.....

“women control their bodies, not the government”

yes bearded gossip been circulating for years

I live in Maine. I often marvel at the women in Portland that wear exactly such warm-weather clothing (shorts, stockings, tank tops, skirts, etc) on nights with exactly such chilly weather conditions.

Well, I’m on board now after Fargo!
