Some more Establishment Democrat nastiness

That's from an editor at Ms. the feminist magazine.

I guess having the correct genitals makes all the difference.

Also, everyone's favorite person, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has some advice to give.

Warren, a possible presidential candidate in 2020, said she was "troubled" by Obama's decision, and Sanders, a former Democratic presidential candidate, told CNN it was "not a good idea" and "distasteful."
After being shown both criticisms during an interview on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz fired back that "it is none of anyone's business what someone who is a member of the private sector decides to accept in terms of compensation."
"With all due respect to anyone who chooses to comment publicly on what Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or anyone earns as a member of the private sector," she said, "it's just, like, MYOB -- it's none of your business."
Wasserman Schultz said that Obama and Clinton, who also faced criticism for paid speeches to Wall Street, both have "pristine" public records. "They both fought back against the big banks, and their practices, and I have every confidence in the service they both provided."

Yes, I have every confidence that they were serviced too.

Meanwhile, left-wing candidates keep doing well in Red States.

Progressive attorney and activist Chokwe Antar Lumumba defeated incumbent Mayor Tony Yarber in the Democratic primary on Tuesday ― virtually assuring his ascent to power in the heavily Democratic city of Jackson, Mississippi.

Lumumba secured 55 percent of the vote, avoiding a runoff. The general election is on June 6, when Lumumba is expected to easily defeat Republican, third-party and independent candidates...
Lumumba, 34, ran on a platform of investing more in education, reinstating a 1 percent sales tax to rebuild the city’s aging infrastructure, and reducing crime through community engagement. He is a founder of Cooperation Jackson, an organization that’s trying to create a network of worker-owned cooperatives throughout the city. As mayor, he plans to start an incubator for local businesses that includes such cooperatives.

That wasn't supposed to happen.

sounds like a big FU to me

Mayor Lovely Warren now has enough support to get her party's endorsement in the mayoral race.
It comes after Mayor Warren got a win in the 27th district committee vote Wednesday evening.
...
"While I truly respect the Party process, it is not a secret that no Democrat endorsed by the Democratic Party has gone on to win a Democratic Mayoral Primary in nearly three decades.
"And at a time when the mayor calls hard working party members "elitist insiders," questions the authenticity of their service to the community - and refuses to support progressive stalwarts of our Party such as Sandy Frankel and Congresswoman Louise Slaughter - we need now, more than ever, to fight for the progressive leadership and ideals that our community deserves.

bailed out and immunized, even though (1) they had to have known that crap mortgage derivatives were going to collapse economies around the world, including ours and (2) they conducted illegal foreclosures like thugs.

The cartoon shows only that they got away with it. It doesn't show the piles of money they made from selling crap derivatives and the money they got in the bailout and the money in legal fees and settlements the immunity saved them and--and this may be the biggest number of all-- the fortune they were able to make because the Fed has kept interest rates close to zero for years.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. We made a profit on the bailout. Wacko

Plus ça change, plus le même chose. (The more things change, the more they stay the same.)

Whether these boneheaded broads like it or not, Hillary Clinton will never be President. Nor will anyone like her be. If they ever want a woman to occupy the nation's highest office, they'll dump her and her neoliberal conserva "Dem" bullshit like the bullshit that they are. These have been carefully weighed by the American People and found wanting.

The only reason Her Heinous got as many votes as she did was that she had Herr Drumpfenfuhrer as her opponent. In a genuinely honest election with a serious, qualified opponent, she would never have seen the light of day.

@Bollox Ref Well, the truth is I don't care whether Hillary, for example, lives or dies. I just want her out of my face. If there were a way for her to keep her blood money and live in luxury without being able to buy political influence with it, I'd even be OK with that.

That said, it's pretty easy to hate these people as much as people hated the Mercian king.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been taking millions of dollars from the same corporate interests that profit from payday loans. She recently reversed President Obama’s long-standing ban on corporate lobbyist donations to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), opening the door to influence peddling by the payday loan industry.

She appears to be too young to have "been there" when the bulk of those wars were fought in the 1960s and 1970s. To have "been there", she would have had to have been old enough to vote for at least some of that time. It's obvious she wasn't even born yet in those days.

@thanatokephaloides I was a little girl. However, I protested in the 80s and early 90s. There was still plenty to do. But then, we had an actual movement then, concerned with things other than putting a handful of rich white women, and a couple token rich black women, into positions of power.

I came of voting age in 1976, and was involved in protest actions from the age of 11 onwards. From the photos I've been able to see, I would be profoundly surprised if Carmen Rios was old enough to read in 1990.

And you're right: we (all progressives) really did "have a real movement then". Folks like me who demonstrated for peace, for a full economic and civil life for everyone, and against unlimited nuclear power and weapons had real solidarity with women who demanded reproductive control over themselves, equal pay for equal work and other such self-determination issues. We marched together, acted together, and actually got some shit changed. (And yes, I definitely count you among that "we", CSTMS!)

I know you share my utter despair and frustration facing the fact that we have to do it all over again -- a situation that a bevy of women, led by Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Hillary Clinton, are working overtime to perpetuate. After all, they've got theirs, amirite?

@thanatokephaloides It's really important that we keep the memory alive of what a real movement is, and the fact that we had one. It might not have been the absolute best movement (by the 80s) that it could have been, but it was real, not this stupid puppet shitshow being put on for the sake of Hillary Clinton's ego. There's no way to have solidarity within a "movement" like this.

Well, I guess it *is* a "movement," in the sense my grandmother would have used the word...

Until you have one (or she does) you can both shove those pink pussy hats where the sun don't shine. Actually, a fight against the Hyde Amendment wouldn't be enough to make up for all the blood she's shed...but at least she wouldn't be as much of a fucking hypocrite.

@lizzyh7 Paraphrasing Jimmy Dore:

"We're not united! I'm not united with your corporate bullshit.That's not happening, Carmen! So this idea that you can slap your fucking face on Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, and somehow that means all us women are going to come together, because now your face is there, is bullshit! That's not happening; I'm not coming around to corporate bullshit. If you want to get me to "buck up" and support your brand of feminism, start caring about women who aren't multimillionaires and try to improve their lives. Try to improve their lives by appealing to the people you're supposed to represent: not the Democratic party, not the mainstream media, and not the donor class. Where's your fucking platform, Carmen? Where's your platform for repealing the Hyde Amendment? Where's your platform for legalizing RU-486 or similar medication, and getting it covered by insurance? Where's your platform for guaranteed incomes for expectant and new mothers, along with high-quality guaranteed healthcare for them and their children? How much money are you putting into creating support networks for girls who get slut-shamed on the internet, versus how much money you put into Hillary Clinton's fucking campaign? Where's your platform for requiring corporations which employ 50 people or more to provide high-quality, government-regulated and -inspected childcare for every employee who needs it? Where's your fucking platform, Carmen? You ain't got one except telling people like me to shut up and vote for Hillary Clinton. I'm telling you to shut the fuck up, get your head out of your ass, cause you're a loser, and so's Ms. Magazine, NOW, and NARAL, and the whole feminist movement's going down the toilet because people like you keep telling people like me to "buck up." I'm telling you to buck up, and speak out against those corporate top 10% limousine feminists, and don't take their crumbs, cause I ain't taking their crumbs. I'm asking you to buck up, and be a fucking woman, and stand up."

I know Hillary supposedly selected your for your job in Bubba's administration, but gee whiz.

And, from the founder of Ms.: The only explanation for females supporting Sanders is not their conscience, their intelligence, their heart for the 100%, but their desire to be where the boys (read misogynistic Bernie Bros) are. Good God. In the bad old days, the presence of a female in college and especially in law school or medical school was explained by "She is looking for her M.R.S. degree." IOW, hunting for a husband with high earning potential. Gloria Steinem, who made a bundle on feminism, took us right back to 1919. Wowza.

Rios' Tweet about Bernie Sanders, and how she wants him to "retire or die":

She knows she, and Her Heinous, and all of her horses and all of her women, can't defeat the ideas and policies Bernie stood for in 2016.

Not even if she, or Her Heinous, runs on them herself. We know we can't trust any of these women around the proverbial glass corner, and we vote accordingly.

So Rios wants Bernie to retire or die, because she knows she can't defeat him in a fair contest.

SANTORUM: We have laws in states, like the one at the Supreme Court right now, that has sodomy laws and they were there for a purpose. Because, again, I would argue, they undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family. And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold — Griswold was the contraceptive case — and abortion. And now we're just extending it out. And the further you extend it out, the more you — this freedom actually intervenes and affects the family. You say, well, it's my individual freedom. Yes, but it destroys the basic unit of our society because it condones behavior that's antithetical to strong healthy families. Whether it's polygamy, whether it's adultery, where it's sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family.
Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality —
AP: I'm sorry, I didn't think I was going to talk about "man on dog" with a United States senator, it's sort of freaking me out.

Having the editor of Ms. magazine act like a common troll (internetus putrificans) while not quite as stunning as having a sitting U.S. Senator say "man on dog" to the press, is in the same ballpark.

@Cant Stop the Macedonian Signal

She just trolled us! FFS! The editor of Ms. just acted like the most common garden-variety flamefest-igniting troll!

I missed it. Which one?

@gjohnsit @gjohnsit When I say "us," I mean current and former Bernie supporters, not C99.
Her comment ("rejoice, for one day Bernie Sanders will retire or die") was classic trolling, along the lines of I WISH U DI3 COMMIE. It has the bouquet of YouTube commentary.

The only point of her comment was to make all the various Bernie supporters out there get upset and react to her. FFS. This has gotten sad!
