“In many ways we did win the (2016) election”—Bernie Sanders

Holy shit! So that’s why Twitter was all bonkaroo about it. I’m also glad I don’t have to decide on this. In Wisconsin we’ve got our own issue with choosing a Dem to try to finally get rid of Scott Walker. On the Dem side there’s a white dude who polls ahead of Walker (at least this week), and there’s an Emily’s-list…

You’re welcome. Btw, he did this on twitter and deleted the tweets (first was “money laundering” then “legal money laundering”) and backtracked.

Yeesh. That’s not a great look. Thanks for the info.

He accused Whitmer of money laundering. It didn't go over well.

How are they “silencing her” and keeping her from running a campaign in her own district?  If she loses, that is not going to be on Joe Crowley. 

Michigan voter here. I’m very very lefty. But the problem with his candidacy is that he’s not really running on anything other than “I’m super progressive and Bernie likes me. Therefore, you are obligated to vote for me and aren’t a true progressive if you don’t.”

Yeah most of that lot of “progressives” seem to be old Trots and other far left Marxists who are here for nothing but being “anti-Establishment”.

Bernie Sanders won more primary votes but somehow (thanks, former Clinton 2008 Presidential Campaign Co-Chair/2016 DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz) Hillary managed to accrue more delegates.

This is  B.S Hillary got more votes nationwide than Berinie

He’s a white man. In case you haven’t noticed from the average opinion of white progressive men (or if you’ve never ready anything from Splinter), but their opinion and way of doing things is still better than anything women and POC progressives can come up with.

Din’t forget an actual job in Congress she hasn’t started yet

Doesn’t Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have a campaign of her own to stump for

I like El Sayed, but I'm voting for Gretchen. I think she's more electable in November, and it's very important that Schutte doesn't won. I can't take 4-8 years of him talking about what a great team he and Trump make.

With Sanders placement in this wave of more US Left/European Centre-Left taking more candidacies will be interesting to see whether in 2020 he’ll make way for one of these new stars who is probably far more electable than himself or if he’ll stick around too long and try to go for it again.

I recently moved into an upper-middle class, mostly white neighborhood. I kept expecting some kid to come by one day and offer mowing services. Months went by. My grass grew to knee high. Eventually I broke down and decided to hire a team. The “professional” services wanted to charge hundreds of dollars, plus a grand…

So unlike him.

I regularly hang up on people due to fat-facism (not to be confused with fat-fascism, which is also a big problem since Trump came to Big Gulp country). It’s a curse.

and if they aren’t that is the fault of their caregivers.

Forgetting the ten million in the bank, wouldn’t Charlie Sheen have (way more than) enough in residual payments from just Two and a Half Men to cover all his bills, lifestyle, and still have quite a lot left over?
