You’re going be one of those people who say ‘man, I didn’t know they were rounding up my neighbours, I swear’ when you knew full well. You’re seeing an article where the most prominent Jewish American politician had his life threaten with fascism and complaining about Bernie Bros. You’re fucking disgusting.

Are you suggesting that it’s normal for major news outlets to not cover anti-Semitic attacks against a presidential candidate?

Low youth turnout doesn’t mean there isn’t also giant conspiracy against Bernie. The entire corporate media and neoliberal establishment is against Bernie. That’s not nothing. I blame brainwashed boomers who can’t bother to rub two braincells together and think for themselves. They listen to their cable news masters

You see, I hear the Nazis were bad and all, but have you ever seen... (I can hardly even say it)... a snake emoji?

Little bit older, he wins comfortably with age groups up to 45 too. Then it goes South because, as you say, only a third of that age cohort actually voted on Tuesday.

And how did I forget to mention this gem from last night?

Me: Maybe cable news can dedicate a few minutes talking about a Nazi showing up at a Jewish guy’s rally.

I was a Warren stan who voted strategically for Sanders, so I’m obviously on the other end of the messaging/ideology spectrum, and even I get her appeal. She’s a person I could trust to competently and fairly run the country, even if I don’t align with her ideologically. Most of the center or right leaning dems don’t

The Democratic Party has principles, as a group, and for as long as I’ve been alive those principles have generally included being supportive, to some degree, of abortion rights, and supportive, to some degree, of gun control. I mean, are you seriously arguing that the Democratic Party does not and should not have a

The fact that the Democratic party has room for people who take money from private prisons makes me wonder who this party is for, exactly.  

You are confused. For one thing, the only forward-looking lesson, if Cisneros wins, anyone would really take from that is that “It makes sense for actual Democrats to represent solidly Democratic districts.” That actual lesson having been articulated to you as a reasonable one (and again, the only real prospective

You seem confused, because that’s not what I said would be the “lesson of a Cisneros win today.” That the Democratic establishment protects entrenched power, is out of touch with its own voters, and that it is important to challenge the establishment, are all true lessons regardless of whether Cisneros wins this

Okay...but this district is currently, actually represented by someone who is basically a Republican, and yet who is receiving the support of party leadership. I don’t think anyone is seeking to draw any lessons from from this primary beyond how the establishment protects entrenched power, that the Democratic

I dunno....I think “in a comfortably blue district, an actual Democrat can win, there is no need to support a closet Republican” seems like a pretty appropriate lesson to draw....

Nah. The time for socialism is now. We’re either going socialist as a nation of full blown corporate fascism. Get on board. The struggle is ongoing.

Everyone? The Panthers were socialists. James Baldwin was a socialist. As was Dr. King, W.E.B. Dubois, and Kwame Ture. In fact nearly every Black radical of the 20th century was either an avowed socialist, communist, or skewed heavily towards those ideologies. I wonder why. Is is because they rightly saw that the only

Huh. Strange. I could’ve sworn I heard and read about the popular vote mattering over the past couple years...decades...

Biden? WTH?
