Bernie Sanders Rip Carper and Coons Some New Assholes
It’s going to be a tough four years for the Corporate-Clinton Democrats who fucked everything up in 2016. The Left is not going to stand for your bullshit like voting against cheaper prescription drugs. There will be a price to pay for your pragmatism, for selling out to the highest bidder. You Clinton supporters own this shit.
What Is Bernie Sanders’ End Game?
Here are my questions: 1. What is Bernie Sanders’ end game? 2. How does he unite his supporters behind Hillary? I really don’t have an answer for these questions.
A Not So Brilliant Disguise
Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz says fuck it, why pretend.
New York Primary Results Post
New York polls are closed and the results are coming in. Let’s talk about it!
Live From New York…
In his short walk around Midtown, Mr. Sanders spoke with Michael Cantalupo, a frustrated supporter who said he was shut out of the process because he had missed the deadline to change his party affiliation to Democrat from Independent.
Mr. Cantalupo, who stopped the senator to explain his predicament, said he first tried to change his registration last May but that the Department of Motor Vehicles lost his paperwork. In December, he tried again, but by then it was too late to become eligible to vote in the Democratic primary
We Have Debate Watch Parties!
Tonite is the debate between Hillary and Bernie in New York. There are a couple of local debate watch parties that I know of listed below. The operative phrase here is “that I know of”. If you are aware of others, please post the details in the comments and one of us will get the information in the main post. So here we go:
Some Things Can’t Be Unsaid
And this is one of them:
“She has been saying lately that she thinks I am quote unquote unqualified to be president. Well let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton, I don’t believe that she is qualified if she is through her super PAC taking tens of million of dollars in special interest funds. I don’t think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC. I don’t think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in Iraq. I don’t think you are qualified if you have supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement that has cost us millions of decent-paying jobs. I don’t think you are qualified if you supported the Panama Free Trade Agreement, something I very strongly opposed and which all of you know has allowed corporations and wealthy people all over the world to avoid paying their taxes to their countries.”
I spent last night and this morning trying to find where Hillary Clinton said Bernie Sanders wasn’t qualified to be President. I came up empty, but if anyone can show me where she actually said this…
I’m really not sure what to say about Bernie’s statement. I’m disappointed and concerned. There’s no doubt Bernie had his first bad week on the campaign. It was also the first week he was actually treated like a serious candidate whose issues and words come under scrutiny. That’s the way it works. Yeah, this outburst does have me questioning how he’d handle the general election. Sorry, but it does.
I’m also worried. Is #FeeltheBern turning into #BernitDown?
Bernie’s Still the One
Bernie Sanders doesn’t embody what a 2016 mainstream Democrat is. He embodies what a 2016 mainstream Democrat should be and the support base that has been championing his messages is what the Democratic Party should be. And no, I don’t mean 70 year old Jewish guys from Brooklyn. I mean progressive. Democrats should be progressive and, dare I say, liberal. Sanders has started to bring the progressive core of the Democratic Party out of a decades long hibernation and he’s succeeding in getting the newly awoken to help wake up people sleeping next to them.
An Attempt To Figure Out Why I’m Still Not Feeling The Bern
I’m going to just put everything out there – which means this post will probably be all over the place. Forgive me for repeating myself, but one of my biggest issues with Bernie Sanders is his limited platform and the way all, and I do mean all, roads lead to income equality. That just isn’t […]
We’re Going To Have To Talk About Sexism Because It’s Surrounding Us
Basically, everyone needs to stop the sexist behavior, whether it is in the form of BernieBros or the Women on Women Crime that Gloria Steinem and Madeline Albright engaged in. If we did, perhaps, we could discuss issues like Climate Change, reproductive rights, immigration, Police brutality, improving our education system, Foreign Policy (altho this was touched on in the last debate) our crumbling infrastructure – you know, things that our candidates aren’t discussing. Personally, I’d like to hear about these issues, as well as income inequality. Hopefully I get my wish because these things matter, too.
Income inequality is an important issue, but it isn’t the only one, and right now I’m not sure where the candidates stand on other issues that matter to me. That’s a problem for me. A BIG one. It’s probably the reason I can’t pick a candidate. I need more, because the office of President is about more, but you wouldn’t know that by listening to the debates. Guess I’m saying, I completely understand where each candidates stand on income inequality… can we start to include other things? There actually are other things.
Meanwhile, can we step up our game and drop the sexism on both sides?
Young Women Are Not So Impressed by Hillary
Running against the Clinton story that Bernie’s support comes mainly from only bros, women under 30 in Iowa voted overwhelmingly for Bernie Sanders.
Bernie’s Healthcare Plan is Here
Bernie’s plan will cost over $6 trillion less than the current health care system over the next ten years.
The United States currently spends $3 trillion on health care each year—nearly $10,000 per person. Reforming our health care system, simplifying our payment structure and incentivizing new ways to make sure patients are actually getting better health care will generate massive savings. This plan has been estimated to save the American people and businesses over $6 trillion over the next decade.
Carper’s Gone Rogue. Make That Rogue-er.
Poor despairing Tom Carper. Forced to sit in his Senate Democratic Caucus and see his dreams of ‘entitlement reform’, aka gut the New Deal and the Great Society, go down the drain. From today’s unbelievable (but true) News-Journal piece:
Carper said he “sat there in despair” during meetings with fellow Democrats to discuss the deal brokered by Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Carper had been telling colleagues for months this was their chance to do something meaningful about tax and entitlement reforms. The deal ultimately passed by Congress does neither, he said.
Don’t believe that Carper is going after Social Security? Read this illogic in all its Carperesque rationalization, then read what Sen. Bernie Sanders has to say about it:
