The Queen Sweep was a glorious thing to end the day on. You all are awesome by the way. PoliGAF really is my favorite place to lurk. But for now, I think it's time to due a tour of the internet and chuckle sensibly at all the mountains of salt that seem to have cropped up in the last few hours...

I don't think so. He'd gain the lionshare of independents and progressives, and would gain a lot more exposure for the movement.
Trust me, I'm not talking about him anymore.
Oh please. By comparison, Elizabeth Warren is a goddess, and ALSO a female politician. This has nothing to do with Hillary's gender. Nice try though.

........... A Jewish dude wanting a hat worn mostly by white nationalists seems a little fucking weird to me, but so does having Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders as your two top picks for president.

Which would be enough to split the Dem base, lose the election, then Trump puts Cruz on the SC.
Nothing even a tiny bit liberal passes the court for 30-40 years.
What does that have to do with using sexist language vs a female politician? That you think highly of a different one?
So if I like Bernie, its fine if i use anti-Semitic language vs another Jewish politician because i don't like that other person?

Just clean it up. If you want to call her a piece of shit, call her a piece of shit. As your multiquote shows, I wasn't the only one that had that reaction.

Those hats are the ugliest shit ever.
Like good god. It's like they were printed in the 80s and Trump just had a stash of them that he bought.
Trump looks awful wearing it. It's too big on his head or somethin'.

I'm all for Sanders staying in as long as he wants, and for as long as he has support, even if only to register the party's temperature on his message and provide space (and data, and some organization) to nurture the next generation Sanders candidate with a longer term plan and strategy.
But this superdelegate strategy of winning without actually winning isn't going to work, and it'd only undo any actual progress he's accomplished to date in stoking the passions on the left. Without coming out ahead of Hillary sans-superdelegates he's got no fair or principled argument to make. I can't see it actually getting to that point though.
I'm sure you also have many black friends.

Do you (btw, I voted for Bernie today) realize you are the new HillaryIs44? You are those people from 2008. That's who you are. That's embarassing.

How about not using specifically gender charged sexist language then.

You used very specific sexist derogatory terms. That you wouldn't call another woman those names does not make the comments not sexist.

I think Bernie would get more votes from republicans than Hillary would, and he'd get more independents than Trump would.
Fuck the dems. Never been one myself anyway.
If this was seen as overtly sexist language, then I apologize. I didn't realize that.
However, Hillary is quite despicable in my eyes. I'll leave it at that.

It doesn't mean you're necessarily on the right side either though. Specially since, someone on the opposite side shares many thing in common.

Btw it wasn't seen as overtly sexist language it is overtly sexist language.

Again, my apologies for the apparently sexist language. It was completely coincidental and not at all intended as a sexist remark.

I believe you.
Disillusioned Bernie groups and supporters just need to hold Hillary's feet to the fire as best they can if she's President. It's like Phoenixdark used to say, she'll be constrained by a leftward drifting party who will tolerate little of her old 1990's third way style. She's a friend who can still deliver great progressive victories and institutionalize a lot of progress with a third and possibly fourth consecutive term.

Bernie isn't going to be winning rep votes, he won't win the vast bulk of the dem vote, just a portion of the youth lib vote. Enough to kill any chance we have of ensuring a Supreme Court that might consider Bernies politics favorable.
He'd be setting back any progressive agenda for a generation.

Unless you have proof that I knew that the language was or would be interpreted as sexist, please don't speak for my conscience.

They have some similar stances on trade.
And that's about it.
Their stances on money in politics are entirely dissimilar, they have very different ideas about how government should be used and where.
All the articles in the world don't change the fact that Bernie and Trump are polar opposites on the political spectrum.

Wow, Hillary's favorables are not great, but Trumps are considerably worse. To put them in the same bracket is incredibly deceiving. That's the 'Establishment' media for ya.
We need Kay Hagan to reclaim her seat in 2020 and and have a Ross/Hagan duo in the Senate.

Hillary will walk into the White House with some very high favorables.
If only because Trump doesn't have a cool to lose, and will inevitably turn Hillary into the white knight who defeated the dragon.
Yeah like I'm going to pretend he didn't just out himself.

i think her favorables will improve dramatically when she's head to head against trump.
I think her favorables will see positive territory during the general when she's seen side-by-side against Trump, but it won't be a big lovefest.

Bernie Sanders thinks that Trump is a violent, racist, nativist goon.
Trump thinks that Bernie is a Communist.
Wow, much crossover appeal.
