Certainly a Warren candidacy was a certain group's fantasy, and they insisted she was a liar... Hekate Nov 2016 #204

Many Bernie supporters attacked Warren in some ugly fucked up ways when she didn't endorse Sanders JI7 Nov 2016 #210

thanks for putting it into those words LiberalLovinLug Nov 2016 #108

No one supporting her ever thought that- but BOBs pushed it hard .... bettyellen Nov 2016 #145

That's exactly what LiberalLovinLug didn't say. progressoid Nov 2016 #84

Yes, shockingly I think Hillary is just a woman. As I think Bernie is just a man LiberalLovinLug Nov 2016 #103

She did stand up for the working class. Who are the people feeling she didn't and why? boston bean Nov 2016 #228

Right...because Hillary's economic ideas were so anti-working class and all. Demsrule86 Nov 2016 #264

What she said about coal hurt her. Qutzupalotl Nov 2016 #268

The truth is DPutin is going to stand up to Wall Street?!?! Really?! uponit7771 Nov 2016 #115

Sorry, Bernie would have been destroyed. See Eichenwald's post mortem. emulatorloo Nov 2016 #355

There's a good rebuttal of his nonsense article here.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #392

Joyless? No, THAT'S a hoot. Kentonio Nov 2016 #394

I have always liked Bernie, but I'm really sad that he said this. cry baby Nov 2016 #88

I agree, and he does seem bitter Fast Walker 52 Nov 2016 #120

Fuck him. He used the Dems, Hillary and the convention itself and bashed them all bettyellen Nov 2016 #146

I agree with Bernie. How did that "Identity Politics" work out for us? jalan48 Nov 2016 #148

Quite well, considering Hillary is on track to win by 2 million votes. She won't get the WH... Hekate Nov 2016 #205

I can't believe you don't. athena Nov 2016 #314

How is it an 'ugly and offensive comment' exactly? Kentonio Nov 2016 #397

But he would have been elected, don't you know, because he appealed to the same white dudes duffyduff Nov 2016 #212

What's wrong with anything he said there? Kentonio Nov 2016 #398

You are promoting a false meme - that the only people who supported her was because she's a woman. Lil Missy Nov 2016 #281

No-one is saying that's the only reason people supported her. Kentonio Nov 2016 #399

If you can't see it then there is no use trying to explain it to you. Lil Missy Nov 2016 #412

Well that's up to you of course. Kentonio Nov 2016 #414

So you found his statement divisive and you thought it best to JCanete Nov 2016 #308

I disagree with his sexism. Have since the primary. Next question.... LexVegas Nov 2016 #333

examples please...your feeling that he's sexist because he ran against your candidate who JCanete Nov 2016 #341

Good. Glad you like it (nt) jack_krass Nov 2016 #325

You mean like her surrogate Madeleine Albright's now infamous quote.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #400

If you want to rag on Madeline Albright, go ahead DFW Nov 2016 #416

So just to clarify.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #417

If my claim that Hillary never said that is wrong, feel free to point out where and when she did DFW Nov 2016 #418

Ah so having a surrogate do it is completely different.. Kentonio Nov 2016 #419

I don't think it gets any more identity based than calling oneself a Berniecrat. lapucelle Nov 2016 #340
