I find Bernie very frustrating because I agree with him on a lot of things. Medicare for all would be nice! College is absurdly expensive! But when you say, “Great, how are you going to accomplish these things,” the answer seems to be, “Well, our hearts are pure, and we have the support of the people, and we cannot…

I voted for Bernie in the last primary, I like him and I like his platform. He has absolutely no business running for president again. There's a lot of negative baggage he'd be carrying from the Bros and what turned into a pretty ugly in-fight and oh yeah HE'S TOO FECKIN OLD. Sit back and let someone else have a go.

See: Bernie Sanders, Caucuses.

It’s cute that her campaign is blaming “extremely high voter turnout” for the loss. So-called progressives seem to favor low turnout almost as much as Republicans do.

You’re not wrong. It doesn’t make it any less exhausting to hear people complain about tone or “failure to connect to communities” when the current political landscape is what it is.

Doesn’t really apply to this particular instance, all things considered, but I still see people already defending their and other’s…

Vote for politicians who believe in “science” and “climate change”?

The easiest way to help is to send thoughts and prayers.

It is entirely unfair, but with the vast body of research available indicating that names matter, and not just in politics, you have to wonder about the mindset of parents who give their kids exceedingly odd names.

They wouldn’t change things, though.

Why do you think Bernie Sanders keeps getting reelected in Vermont? Vermont is the whitest state in America, with one of the lowest poverty rates in the country. When the status quo is working for you, the last thing you want is someone who might be able to effect real change.…

It sure helps that “the left” walks around with a smug sense of moral superiority over anyone they perceive to be slightly to the right of them. Just like with Sanders, Nixon lost because she utterly failed to make in roads with minority voters.

This is the shit right here. Professional bitchers who are either to stupid or too young to understand the long arm of history.

It’s entirely unfair, but I suspect Zephyr Teachout’s name worked against her. Despite it being her real name, I imagine a lot of low-information voters took one look at the name on the ballot, and decided she was some kind of goddamn hippie loon, who discovered her Goddess Name in college and changed it and is now so…

As Democratic-leaning voters (and I’m making an assumption about you here, so please correct me if I’m wrong), I think we collectively need to be aware of the dangers inherent in purity politics—and it looks like a significant portion of our younger number are not.

“SCOTUS picks don’t matter.” - Insulated dipshit, 2016.

“SCOTUS picks don’t matter!”

Any person actively engaged in—or tolerant of—purity politics.  That backbiting bullshit got us where we are today, and it’s only going to bring us right back here again if it’s allowed to continue.

Will Cuomo’s gestures toward progressive policy turn out to be just lip service?

Seriously, “The result of this unconscionable influx in spending is that turnout is extremely high throughout the state today,”......whadafuq? 

The Democrat’s problem? The only people who hate Democrats more than Republicans is other Democrats.
