Democratic Primary
2016-02-15 17:46I'm still undecided as to my vote, but since most of my friends seem to be pro-Bernie, I find myself in the position of skeptic, by which I mean passing on links.
Bernie pandering to liberals?
One woman's "How Bernie lost me". Links to Sady Doyle on progressive sexism, and another column on defending Hillary.
Imagine GOP attacks on a self-declared socialist. (From back when the Cold War was still on!)
Someone on Facebook on Hillary as embattled survivor, Bernie from a nice safe environment. Point is, Bernie's had the luxury of sticking to his principles and freely speaking his mind because he had liberal Vermont voters who loved him. As I've put it, Hillary had to change her own name to help Bill win over Arkansas voters. Not to mention the over 20 years of attacks that Doyle talks about.

Off topic but maybe thematically related: Kevin Drum on liberal reality distortion. I haven't had the time to read all the stuff he links to, so I'm posting it as "maybe interesting".
