And Bernie is a white male who has been in politics for years. No one isn’t part of the establishment at this point.

“ Creighton wrote that she was sexually assaulted by Casares in an open letter”

Oh FFS! How many times do we have to hear about this shite? The Air Force dude in charge of a sexual assault response team who gropes women (& gets away with it!) All the cops who are supposed to protect domestic violence victims who beat their partners or tell people like my sister that they need to “behave” after…

You can tell this twat never wears a suit jacket with his waistcoat.

Also, all the ‘progressive’ males who can not get their balls untwisted at the thought of it.

I think they hate her far more because she is a woman. If she had all of the exact same policies, but was a MAWG (middle aged white man) they may be more tolerant.

I don’t really know about the second part of this—having people of color at all of those positions prior to 2008 didn’t stop Obama’s election from being mind blowing for many—but you’re absolutely right about that “only you” line. That’s just objectively false; I can’t believe her campaign decided that that was the…

I like it when they mansplain policy I’ve already written about in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY I EXPLAINED IT. That’s my favorite. My little lady brain loves that.

This really shouldn’t ever even approach the question of what Sanders could achieve as president. Because, I’m sorry, he won’t be able to achieve being president in the first place. He’s a socialist running on a socialist platform of widespread tax increases to exponentially expand the social safety net. Democrats…

I’m reminded of this scene from West Wing:

Of course, the common refrain you hear against all of this is that if we try to go too far left, too hard, too soon, it’ll spark a backlash that’ll erode what progress we’ve already made.

Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

And an analysis of the standards the candidates are held to and compared on.

An analysis of how many times “likable” is used in relation to Clinton versus other candidates? Sometimes she has a “likability” problem, other times her campaigning is all about how “likable” she is (rather than the substance of her message).

“But Bruce Springsteen hasn’t returned any of my calls”

Yes it does, and I think that’s another reason he avoids talking about it. I think he thinks it’s patronizing to suggest we go look at his voting record over and over. To him, it speaks for itself. That’s one of the things I like about Bernie, actually. He seems to respect his audience enough to assume that you are…

Particularly since this was her EXACT argument against Obama in 2007-8.

Here’s my take on this: What has been established as “Establishment” (Capital E intentional) is super PACs and multibillion dollar lobbyists who are paid by big banking, big pharma, big business in general. Hillary is supported by most of the large financial institutions, like CitiCorp. Her daughter and son-in-law are…

Yes But sorry if this is reposted. I argue that Bernie has been fighting the establishment from the inside for years. Linked below is a great example of such.

YOUR HUSBAND WAS THE PRESIDENT YOU ARE PART OF THE MAINSTREAM DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT JFC
