    Can we stop insulting where each candidate won his or her votes and delegates? It’s really off-putting and some of it even comes across racial without it even meaning to.

    We’re not going to win Alabama or Wyoming (the reddest state in the country), so stop insulting those wins. If Red State Democrats feel like red-headed stepchildren, they should with this kind of nasty-ass rhetoric.

    Guess what, in a Democratic primary, it doesn’t matter whether the state is red or blue in a general. The votes all count the same, folks. We’re polling Democrats on their preference, folks.

      It’s a little gross turning to historically dis-enfranchised black southern voters who turned out to make their voices heard just to say “oh you guys don’t REALLY matter, tho.”

      That’s kinda the entire argument a lot of Bernie supporters put forth to explain away Hillary’s lead...I’ve seen “low information voters” used to describe Hillary voters (especially minority Hillary voters) far too many times to count. Such dogwhistle. Much bitter.

    Bernie Sanders is infuriating in his repetition and simple mantras. How in the hell does an intelligent person think this guy has the range of tools to be an effective President. There are zero specifics just a lot of hand waving. And for the love of God, can we graduate from the kids table and leave behind this Wall Street speech criticism. She was the senator from New York, the home of Wall Street, of course there are going to be closed door speeches. She would be negligent if there wasn’t. The idea that communication equals endorsement is silly and the implication from bernie’s supporters that raging hostility to Wall Street is a solution for its sins is incredibly unsophisticated. Nothing but hot air and shaken fists. Let’s be done with this and get the most qualified candidate in the history of candidates in the big seat so she can use her razor sharp intelligence, vast policy knowledge and political sharp elbows to get things done.

      You really can't fault him for not giving the technical details in a timed debate where he gets cut off. His website has the details of his plans.

      Followed by Les Demoiselles de Rochefort! Fun film with Deneuve and her sister, Michel Legrand music, bright colors, Gene Kelly in a small role and George Chakiris, too.

      Oh please, don’t give the Berniebros permission to use “cunt”, they will use it too much like they’ve suddenly been struck with Tourettes.

      I said “cunt-punt” that’s the limited context. But seeing the problems they have with nuance, you’re probably right. My bad. I got carried away.

    I’m totally stealing “vigorous agreement.” It’s like “aggressive stupdity.” She’s totally right about the characterization of how it’s not enough for Sanders that you agree with the destination, but also the exact route to that destination or your’re on the outs with the movement. STOP pushing away friends and allies in the movement. Stop this shit.

    That is really insane to me. We barely elect people this narrow to city councils, let alone the fucking presidency where you’re charged with governing a diverse nation in every sense of the word of over 300 milllion people.

      How come we can’t start with, lets put Glass Steagall back word for word and then REALLY start getting down and dirty on the banks. When does that part start?

          Anna and Brendan, it was so much fun. You two should do a rom/com together, seriously, it would be great.
