As a Bernie supporter who’s voting Hillary in November because I’m not a reckless moron, I’m all in favor of making fun of Bernie-or-Bust people.
There were plans for a fucking “fart in”. I’m not sure how we weren’t supposed to make fun of them.
Um, you do realise that it you’re part of the 90% of sane Bernie supporters who are supporting Hillary even if she wasn’t your choice of candidate, then this isn’t about you? Why so defensive then? or are you actually defending the Bernouts morons saying they’d rather vote for trump than Hillary?
My BFF thinks he looks like Draco Malfoy. I get the Bateman vibe from his brother tbh.
Uh, think you missed the entire point of this article. “Moms” aren’t a problem.
So excited!! But also, if you guys decide to do another live blog on Jezebel, can you not invite the Gawker dudes? They were so horrendously repulsive that I quit the live blog after about 20 minutes. I get enough lady hate from living in the south, and living in America in general. I don’t need it in my safe place.…
You mean Hillary isn't as good a speaker as one of the greatest American orators of the last century? Seriously, UGH.
I mean, they’re right, but his oratory skills are special. Extraordinary. Comparing her oratory skills to Bush or McCain or Romney would be a more fair comparison.
Whatever woman became the first presidential nominee from a major US party - whether that was going to be Clinton or somebody else - was never going to be the pristine and pure beacon of hope and change, etc. that any of us may want to see, simply because it takes a championship fighter to break down barriers.
Exactly! Bernie has the freedom to be a lefty, to be an everyman, to demand progressive priorities and look like a schlub (I saw many of his supporters tout the “he doesn’t care how his hair looks!” thing as a plus) doing it. Hillary has had to walk a very narrow path for her entire life in the spotlight, and she is…
I think that’s a dangerous game to play. I know you don’t mean it this way, but I do feel that any female nominee would be met with objections of “I’ve wanted a female presidential nominee for a long time, just not this female presidential nominee.” All candidates have faults, but female candidates are expected to be…
The picture of every woman in the senate up on stage after she officially clinched it was a striking visual.
Would it make you excited to vote for her knowing you’ll be voting for someone who will make liberal appointments to the Supreme Court (possibly even more liberal than Garland), will fight to overturn Citizens United, will work for comprehensive immigration reform, actually believes in climate change and the need to…
Younger women might also not be old enough to remember all the ridiculous sexist bullshit she had to put up with when the Clintons first came on the national scene.
But what if right now it is impossible for a woman who passes the liberal purity litmus test to get this far? What if just being a woman is so radical that it doesn’t leave much more room to move far left of center? What if demanding that kind of purity means never getting a female candidate because then we never get…
That’s what the left in Britain said about Brexit... In reality all you get is a really fucking bad position for you and your family to be in.
They all want to be Robespierre, forgetting what happened to Robespierre.
Funny how almost all of the people spouting that particular brand of idiocy are white, straight men. I’m sure it’s just a weird coincidence, though.
Ok, I don’t where to put this... I am having major “feels” about this!
