It is 100% bullshit. A contested convention is one that goes to a second ballot not a convention where no candidate wins 23,83 on pledged delegates alone. The superdelegates are a built in part of the process partially there to prevent contested conventions. They are like 15% of the total delegate allotment; they are…

He’s fought so hard for Democratic ideals that he only joined the party a few months ago!

I don’t think she was being “classy”. She got off to a huge start and probably quickly realized, she will have to get Bernie’s voters on her side. Completely destroying your opponent when he probably wont win anyway, is not a good way to get his voters on to your side.

How is this either a “major upset” or at all “unexpected”? Clinton didn’t contest Indiana, didn’t spend a cent on ads or any time there while Bernie was pouring in millions, even in the past few days her surrogates clearly said they didn’t really expect to win it, polls or no.

It’s true; That man has no dick.

“It’s not their fault because they waited until the last possible second to do the right thing and then a complication arose so the right thing couldn’t actually be done” is a shit take.

But you know as well as I do that when people disregard “race, sex, or any other consideration” they hire white men. That’s what that language means. That’s what you’ve absorbed, whether you want to admit it or not. That’s how you fully justify all white male cabinets, boards, workplaces. That’s how you justify sexism…

Trudeau did promise to make his cabinet representative while campaigning, though.

I don’t completely disagree with you BUT Calling him right now might not be the best thing. It is still fresh and he might need time with his daughter and by himself to cope, or at least try. So maybe it is like, putting a message out there and when he is ready, it will be waiting for him with out intruding on…

Maybe so, but it’s not like all zoos are equally ethical or focused on animal welfare. Some are great, some are not.

Really? He kind of seems like perfect rebound material to me.

You are confusing the commenters and the writers here. Jezebel is not at all pro-Hillary. They are following the Sanders/Gawker worship all the way out the door. It is the COMMENTERS who are often pro-Hillary.

No, it wasn’t. It referred to this as something the ‘vulture-press’ will make a big deal out of and we can all relax and breath because the ‘political scandal machine’ is working and it accepts both of their apologies at face value with no comment about how Song’s apology is nothing but ‘sorry not sorry whores’ and…

Honestly, I really disagree that Jezebel is pro-Hillary. Were they a year ago? Maybe. Definitely in the 2012-2014 era before she started running. But I don’t see a lot of pro-Hillary posts these days, and I absolutely read this post as pro-Bernie. It seems to be blaming this gaffe on the “vulture media” and meanwhile,…

This comment is just ... ugh. It’s like there is a vacuum of self-awareness around Bernie and many of his supporters. And every time I hear someone say that women are only voting for Hillary because she’s a woman it makes me crazy. I am supporting Hillary Clinton because of her demonstrated leadership on women’s…

What kind of normal human being even whips out the word “whores” to use, unless they have some bizarre sexist way that they view a very real problem in government? It’s not a common word. It shouldn’t leap to mind for anyone, except those who conflate sexuality with corruption on a very core level. It’s not even…

This isn’t nothing and it’s frustrating to have such a dismissive response about it from a blog that’s ostensibly feminist.

Jezebel decided not to take on Jeff Weaver’s ambitions comment or Sanders’ unqualified comment, but they’re on it when it comes to Clinton’s choice not to eat cheesecake. Pretty good summary of Gawker’s coverage of Clinton. It’s sad that Jezebel is letting some interesting conversations - that many women are talking…

Goodness, Gracious! I guess I have to be the one in this thread to remark on how nice it is that Nicholas Cage bailed out a woman who was being attacked by a man with a long history of domestic violence and public violence! I don’t really care how dramatic he felt he had to be about it.

There is a reason Hillary Clinton has the best record for truth telling in this campaign. Bernie Sanders just says whatever the fuck he wants and gets ANGRY if anyone asks for backup or specifics.
