Pretty sure I stated my exact issue. There was huge opposition to this “part of the process” until the realization dawned that he needed them. Now all of a sudden there is an incredible openness to accepting the superdelegates. Do I understand why he has changed his tune? Of course. But my understanding of the process…

Sanders is gull of contradictions. He claims to be about equality, but has no women in the top paid positions in the campaign. He claims to be about the people but the reality is very different. I haven’t seen Sanders comment on how his wins have mainly come from the caucus system, caucuses majorly disenfranchise…
You mean that people from local races are more likely to support the person who is helping fund their campaign? The ignominy!
He’s banking on his low information Hillary = the devil voters to carry this narrative even though there is no basis in reality for it.
It’s bad to raise money for down ballot candidates? That is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.
Oh good lord, seriously? People can do what they want with their money. Jeez.
God damn. Sanders is quickly losing any goodwill he ever had with me. What a fucking asshole. Private citizens raising money for you is okay because they are poor people? Clooney is raising money for down ballot candidates. Something Bernie hasn’t bothered to worry about because Bernie only cares about Bernie.
Also, money is not inherently bad. It’s part of how the system works. Sometimes it corrupts, but not *always*. Congress got even worse when earmarks went away, because negotiation got that much more difficult. Money can also help a lot of people.
She is raising money right now for people down the ballot. You know, those people Bernie will need to be elected for his “revolution.” It’s literally money for other progressives so that we can change our government. Bernie has raised $0 for the people down the ballot. No progressives have gotten his help. It is one…
As a reminder, this is a joint fundraising committee, which means that $5400 can be allocated to the Clinton campaign but the VAST majority of contributions go to the DNC and state parties to be used to build their GOTV and other local operations for the fall to support downballot candidates. These are the same people…
Yes he fucking is.
He is most wrong about Clooney being a great actor...
It should be noted that the fundraiser is for the Hillary Victory Fund, which does help Hillary’s campaign, but also donates to down-ticket races. This sort of funding is usually vital for smaller Democratic campaigns, who cannot acquire enough funding on their own to be competitive.
Meh. I get his point about campaign finance, but I find the fact that Sanders has ZERO women in the top ten highest paid positions on his campaign far more obscene.
Weird. I actually thought this bit was awesome. What makes it cringeworthy is how true it is.
Actually, I think he’s completely woke. It is a double standard. No woman or man should be subject to catcalling.
Republican party to Trump: “please remove your gaping maw from our dog whistle. You’re getting spittle on it."
This would be quite effective were it not for the fact that “women: you have to treat them like sh*t” is the subtext for the entire Republican party.
