No they don’t. But he’s totally within his rights to speak on this. And what he’s saying is 100% true. He’s being supportive and coming from a place of marginalization himself as a black person in our society. The idea that he should just keep quiet on this strikes me as really counter-productive. A black actor can…

Oh for god’s sake, go ahead and support Bernie or whomever you want to, that’s your right, but lay off the Hillary is a racist who only supports white women mantra or only white women support Hillary nonsense. I’m not white and I’m supporting Hillary because I think she can win and I’m not buying the Bernie…

It makes as much sense as “I have been in the Senate for 20 years, I have the respect of my Senate peers, so much so that I headed two subcommittees. I an not a part of the establishment."

I’m just going to start referring to movies with only white people in them as “white movies”.

As near as I can tell, it’s mostly because he hasn’t made a popular movie in awhile and he’s an overweight, middle-aged pop culture geek, so he clearly needs to cut his hair and get a real job (‘cause none of the, like, 5 or 6 projects his attached to this year count, I guess).

Exactly. If you took every element of Bernie and put it into a female and ran them for office, there would be wailing from sea to shining sea.

Actually, people too young to remember Obama’s 2008 campaign are the only voters I can understand feeling the Bern. I’m 39. I was so madly all about Obama, and I have no regrets - I still love him, but I realize that his presidency isn’t so much different than Hillary’s would have been. At least not in any way I could…

Why don’t you believe her? I’m sure that the moment she turned 18 she had no support from her parents, and was forced to make her way with nothing but her amazing looks, elite education, expensive wardrobe, luxury car, and a network of contacts I can only imagine.

I can believe Paltrow didn’t get “a dime” from her folks once she was 18 (at the link, the full quote sounds plausible), but her dad put her in a TV movie that he directed when she was 17, so there’s starter funds there. By the time she was 19, godfather Steven Spielberg had cast her in Hook. A year later, she…

ded.

Ah, my favorite part of election season: losing with grace.

This is where it is significant that while he is a committed liberal, he is not a committed Democrat. Hilary stumped like crazy in ‘08, and sure some of it was calculated and for her own future, but it was also because she’s a true party loyalist and that is what you are supposed to do. The party comes first, because…

I got sucked into one earlier with someone insisting Sanders is the only progressive there is, basically. I don’t want us going down that tea party rabbit hole of demanding absolutism, because it isn’t there (that’s partly why the tea party keeps eating their own) to be found. They are both liberals, who generally…

The problem with Bernie acolytes is that they love the idea of vague anecdotal praise for their candidate (grassroots momentum!), but insist on rigorous quantitative analysis when anyone hints at suggesting their boy is, in fact, a politician playing the same game as everyone else.

Being a sore loser and not conceding when he loses, shit talking the organizations when he doesn’t get their endorsements, stealing campaign data, whining about the establishment when he almost exclusively gets positive press and now constantly changing the conditions after agreeing to them - it’s Bernie’s world…

“I sure hope — we’re in Bernie Sanders’ backyard here in New Hampshire — I sure hope he intends to show up in his neighboring state”...“There is nothing worse than a debate about debates.”

The Democratic system is more complicated...If a candidate receives typically less than 15 percent of the caucus turnout in this first round vote, they are considered unviable; their supporters must choose to support a viable candidate, and supporters of the viable candidates attempt to persuade them who to choose.…

She’s an excellent debater and each of the debates so far has resulted in a spike in her favorables - it’s really her best forum. She is great on substance, detailed, prepared, and she generally outperforms Sanders.

I may be in love with you. My biggest concern about Bernie as president is that we'd be looking at 8 more years of a do nothing congress. Obamacare TOTALLY capitulated to the insurance lobby and is STILL being ridiculously and futilely challenged. This dude is going to get those idiots to move to single payer? Yeah,…
