Evidently you didn't read hobbit709 Mar 2016 #18

You're right. I don't read Facebook posts, chain emails, Reddit and most DU comments RandySF Mar 2016 #21

So you just admitted what your problem is. Low information. hobbit709 Mar 2016 #28

Because I don't get my information from a bunch of Bernie bros in their basements? RandySF Mar 2016 #53

I think everyone here would gladly support a woman, just the right woman. GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #3

That's a very disingenuous argument. athena Mar 2016 #14

You don't know me. Very rude to assume someone is a misogynist because they don't like a candidate. GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #23

Did I say anything about you specifically? athena Mar 2016 #29

Well that was not my point... GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #37

This is supposed to make me vote for Hillary? beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #6

She's certainly better qualified than any Repub candidate, isn't she? LonePirate Mar 2016 #9

What does that have to do with the op? beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #16

You're the one who brought up being qualified for the job. To earn the job she has to defeat a Repub LonePirate Mar 2016 #42

I was asking why being a woman would make her more qualified. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #50

That's a pretty low bar. We have higher expectations than "At least X is better than Y" Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #55

Sometimes the GE presents us with low bars which still require a choice. It's a valid question. LonePirate Mar 2016 #59

I'm sick of having to make that shitty choice. I did it for Kerry in '04... Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #65

Oh boo hoo. Life sucks sometimes and we have to make shitty choices. Deal with it. LonePirate Mar 2016 #70

I don't know who you are, but you're being way too rude Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #78

You replied to me with profanity and I'm the rude one? LonePirate Mar 2016 #80

We're still doing this? Saying a choice is "shitty" is some mild profanity. Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #83

People in glass houses shouldn't cast stones. LonePirate Mar 2016 #88

If I had said YOU are a shitty choice, THAT would be rude. But that's not what happened Ned_Devine Mar 2016 #98

Bernie has a 100% lifetime record with planned parenthood... GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #26

Boiling women's issues down to Planned Parenthood alone athena Mar 2016 #34

Bernie sponsored an ERA - twice. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #38

Please explain why he pays women so much less. athena Mar 2016 #52

How much less and how many women? Also how do their qualifications differ from the men's? beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #61

Oh, wow. Now you're making right-wing arguments against equal pay for women. athena Mar 2016 #76

Nice try. You accused Bernie of promoting men over women and paying them more, now prove it. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #84

athena, where did you go? Yoo hoo! beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #116

Hehe... I think we're well into the absurd portion of our show now! opiate69 Mar 2016 #125

Let's put that in caps: BERNIE'S CAMPAIGN PAYS WOMEN...MORE THAN MEN beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #108

And, just in case there's any questionable deletes... opiate69 Mar 2016 #111

"It is a fact. A very disturbing one" beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #114

LOL!!! Art_from_Ark Mar 2016 #173

Please I beg you listen to a Sanders stump speech... GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #41

Why can't he treat women equally in his own campaign? athena Mar 2016 #46

Why do you keep posting that link... GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #77

Because you're not responding to it. athena Mar 2016 #91

You are confused... I never brought up abortion... GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #96

Also someone just pointed out that according to your link Sanders is actually paying the women more. GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #109

Did you read your own link? EmperorHasNoClothes Mar 2016 #134

Did you read the whole thing or pick out parts? athena Mar 2016 #135

Wow rock Mar 2016 #90

I think we are done here. Clearly nothing he has done or will do is good enough... nt GeorgiaPeanuts Mar 2016 #92

Sponsoring it twice = NOT GOOD ENUFF BERMIE!!1! beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #124

For starters he wouldn't agree to further restrictions on abortion. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #30

Me, I look at how they run their campaigns. athena Mar 2016 #39

So abortion rights aren't a deal breaker for you? They are for me, women will die. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #47

Once again, please explain why his actions are not consistent with his rhetoric. athena Mar 2016 #57

I just did, his actions include sponsoring legislation and voting for gender income equality. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #71

Your opinions are clearly set in stone. athena Mar 2016 #82

What opinions? I provided facts to back up my assertions, that's how this works. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #87

You know very well that you did not respond to any of my points. athena Mar 2016 #94

The only one saying he can't pay women or promote them equally is you. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #99

athena, you are just rediculous, sorry, you are now on my ignore list. litlbilly Mar 2016 #32

Thanks for the heads up. athena Mar 2016 #40

It's called being a politician. athena Mar 2016 #79

No, he said he would overturn it. Repeatedly. athena Mar 2016 #133

Well, I'd appreciate the (INAUDIBLE) part. Wilms Mar 2016 #136

At best- everyone here claiming she will compromise on abortion is "hoodwinking" DUers. bettyellen Mar 2016 #105

I didn't say it. Hillary said it. Wilms Mar 2016 #131
