Sexism surely accounts for some portion of the support for Bernie, but keep in mind that it’s mostly age. (And really, it’s no wonder, since older men are a hell of a lot likelier to be sexist than younger ones.) Bernie has the support of young women by a huge margin in most places, and it would be more than a little…

Pretty much all of my female friends and relatives voted for Bernie too, so I wouldn’t be too quick to pin it on sexism.

They can pry my hope for Bernie Sanders from my cold, dead, liberal hands.

I think the issue is that Sanders is telling hard truths. What I get from this is the postmodern concept that perception is more important than reality.

So, the man who has undeniabely had ties to the civil rights movement gets ridiculed and second guessed, but the woman who took her sweet time (almost three weeks), before she came up with the most milquetoast statement about Ferguson, gets a pass (as usual). Hillary Clinton started to look at minorities as being more…

Oops, meant trillion. National Defense includes DoD, btw.

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…

prrreeach honey. we’re having some convos over at the salad bowl (kinja for POCs) about how so many black progressives are getting caught up in the identify politics side of things and ignoring economics/justice that is intersected with all this ass-hatery:

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

and this is the establishment scum eagerly supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton. does that really give no one pause? we yell for change, but I don’t think people realllly want it.

Sigh. Except this is exactly the kind of shitstorm — had it happened weeks ago — that Bernie would have been able to run with and maybe get some traction in the South. Now it’s too late and he’s going to get clobbered today, and we’ll be stuck with Hillary and this godawful shill of a woman who also coincidentally is…

As posted by another commenter, Bernie would like to introduce basic financial services in post offices; while this wouldn’t eliminate *the perceived need for* payday loans, per se, it would give people who don’t have access to regular banks (for whatever reason) a way to establish better financial practices than,…

Every day that passes with a Democratic Party led by someone eager to side with vampire scum like the payday lenders is another day the Democratic Party reveals itself to be largely full of shit. In an election year where Democrats are warning voters that handing Republicans even more power will be bad for ordinary…

I’m sure Clinton has at least two firm opinions on it.

No wonder she hates Bernie so much that she is willing to destroy democracy in the Democratic party at every turn:

Considering Wasserman has tried every dirty trick this primary season short of hiring newsboys to draw Hitler mustaches on every front page picture of Bernie, I am not surprised she’ll back anyone who gives her money that’s green.

H.R. 4018, which would keep the CFPB from implementing any new rules regulating payday lenders for two years, and which would make those rules inapplicable in any state that already has payday loan laws. Those states include Florida where, as the HuffPo points out, nearly all of the Democrats co-sponsoring the bill…

I cannot wait to see how Elizabeth Warren responds to this. She is the queen of taking down bullshit. I have my own problems with Debbie and her DNC practices so I am ready to break out the popcorn and watch this all play out.

A real socialist never fucks up the rotation.
