This comment seems so disingenuous to me.. Seriously.

You make excellent points. There are no perfect candidates, but I’ll take Bernie’s consistency on issues from LGBTQ+ rights (he didn’t wait until 2012 to be in favor of gay marriage) to his support of women’s reproductive rights (before Roe v. Wade btw) to his passionate speech against the 1994 Crime bill (which he…

That last album of Zevon’s is a stunner. What a gift to his fans. Listening to it after his death brought me to tears the same way listening to the last Queen album did. It’s so powerful to listen to the songs of people who know they’re at the end of their lives and have made some sort of peace with it, and want their…
There is a difference between advising women not to let their guard down and saying that women who ostensibly have let their guard down are making excuses for fucking up when they get raped while their guard is down. Will I advise my daughter to be careful and not drink too much at parties lest she end up incapable of…
Yes, cheating = AIDS and people with AIDS deserve to be spied on.
All of that may be true, but the victim has forgiven him, and said that she wasn’t interested in him losing his job. She just wanted to tell her story, make a point about how even “joking around” shit can be traumatic, and said on the record that she is good.
I’m listening to the Xtina tribute medley right now and it’s fantastic.
Maybe by staying quiet until She had all the facts? All they basically did was make the writer’s situation even worse by inserting themselves into the story.
And even if lawyers had contacted them about potentially filing a civil suit seeking damages, it wouldn’t mean anything. It’s totally normal for rape victims to seek justice in civil cases instead of criminal because the burden of proof in criminal cases is so much higher and so difficult to meet in acquaintance rape…
This is a bit disturbing or maybe just curious...Why is she so SURE it didn’t happen as Arora Perrineau described? Was she on the scene at the time.. does she have a video.. or does her friend have an ironclad alibi? Surely Lena Duncan isn’t stupid enough to offer such blind loyalty at a time like this.. or maybe she…
Not really. Democrats overwhelmingly have a positive view of Bernie when polled. Only something like 8% of them really hate him.
I think it’s 100% unreasonable to put out something into the public forum and then get mad Jezebel’s writing about it.
Uh, this was AFTER the presidential election, not before.
He didn’t switch to have a better chance. He switched to try to influence the dems who have been acting like republicans for years. There is no progressive party in this country. Only republicans and republican-lite.
I think he does take it seriously. The dnc joined him on this, as well. The Republicans are out to destroy our most basic protections. It is urgent that we get them out of Congress. Btw: it was HC who had exceptions to abortion rights, not Bernie; but the Hillers ignored this.
No, I think nobody can. Not in our political climate. Maybe soon though since this body seems to be imploding.
Hillary Clinton is the very definition of white privilege. She fully expected Barack Obama to sit in the back of the bus, because it was HER turn to be president. IMO, Clinton is as ruthless and dishonest as Donald Trump.
She was more than a terrible campaigner, she was a terrible candidate. She’s good at making underhanded back room deals with bankers to undermine the democratic process, but that doesn’t make her a good leader. Donald Trump’s is no better though, they are both criminals.
