That term is a misnomer. Most political scientists acknowledge that Sanders is more aptly labeled a social democrat, rather than a socialist. His use of the term “socialist” is a long-standing part of his self-identification, so I understand why he is loathe to change it, but in terms of his policies and beliefs he…

Hillary keeps saying “check my record” on Wall Street. Elizabeth Warren has done just that. http://billmoyers.com/2015/11/18/fla…

Exactly! She played coy and hid behind the DNC when Sanders and O’Malley both asked for more debates up front, then she saw the writing on the wall in New Hampshire and decided a week(!) before the election to push for a debate there, and only there, where she was losing badly. It’s ridiculously transparent. Now she…

Yeah, I’m sure that if Sanders had handed her a list up front, with times and places solely of his choosing, it would have been received warmly as a detailed proposal rather than overbearing and controlling. Negotiation is a two-way street. She pushed for this New Hampshire debate at the last minute in a state where…

Sorry, no. She had the original DNC debate calendar arranged for her benefit by her former campaign manager, now-current DNC chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and then finagled for a last-minute debate in a state where she was behind after refusing to get on board with the other candidates’ requests for more debates in…

I can’t fault him for trying to get her to nail down details for these debates before he takes the stage on the 4th. She tried to use lawyerly double-speak in her response to his counteroffer for more debates — she said something like, “I’m eager to begin discussions about future debates.” That’s an evasive…

Her campaign is headquartered in Brooklyn and she represented New York in Congress. You’d think she’d be down for it. Seems like a good location for both.

Brooklyn is where her campaign is headquartered. She should have no problem there. She also represented New York in Congress. It seems like a good compromise location for both.

I disagree. I think a lot of men actually don’t care that much about their wives or girlfriends (sad but true), but wouldn’t want their mother to know that they’re engaging in gross sexual harassment of a stranger. I think “telling on” a man to his mother is the ultimate way to get through to this kind of guy. Very…

As a woman and a Bernie volunteer, it’s upsetting to read that you’ve been plagued by sexist trolls. My experience has been that the people involved in the campaign have been consistently kind and respectful. It really stinks to hear otherwise and I’m sorry that it happened to you. I suppose that in a large grassroots…

Please stop with the use of “normal” or “real” to describe women’s bodies. Accepting one body type doesn’t need to involve language that dismisses other types as somehow wrong.

I could get behind her ambition to be president if I thought it grew out of a genuine commitment to public service. I suppose I am looking for something akin to old-fashioned republicanism in a candidate, small “r” republicanism — a desire to serve in the best interests of the people, without regard to self-interest.…

Just because in many cases words are used to undermine traits in women that are celebrated, with different words, in men, does not mean that those words are never appropriate to describe a woman. In this case, I think Hillary Clinton is insincere, opportunistic, and motivated for personal gain rather than public…

I get what you’re saying here but I disagree. It’s bogus to say that women who support other women cannot also find a particular female candidate to be unacceptable because of obvious self-interestedness. Yes, I know that most candidates are self-interested to a degree. But I just can’t ignore my sense that Hillary is…

Her saying, “I just don’t understand what that means” is one of the most establishment things she could do. It’s the equivalent of “I don’t remember” in Congressional testimony. I’m a woman and a feminist and I really would have loved to support a female candidate, but Hillary is so disingenuous and self-interestedly…

Yes, I did! She would tell people when they looked rough, when she noticed that they had gained weight, whatever. But the way she did it was very straight forward, not in a mean-spirited way. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with saying whatever honest thing she thought.

Don’t let the last name fool you — Martha Stewart is Polish. I come from a Polish family. There is a sort of harsh bluntness in that mix. I don’t know if it’s everyone, but if she’s anything like my family, she probably doesn’t mean it as harshly as it comes out. They would just say they are being honest,…

Oh, and that “since November” is the period in which basically no one ate Chipotle, because of the E. coli scare. Problem solved!

“Our biggest problem is that we have too much opportunity. . . .” GROAN. Let me guess, your biggest weakness is that you “work too hard” too, eh Gwynnie?

In the word’s of Marty McFly, “The guy’s an ASSHOLE!”
