do the other candidates want them shifting to their own camps once the primaries are concluded?

Can you imagine any good Democratic candidate saying, "It'll be a tight race. I think we should court the David Duke voters"?

Because that's pretty much how Sen. Sanders and his supporters are being portrayed these days; but I have a sneaking suspicion that should another candidate carry the primaries into the nomination those very same Sanders supporters, once vilified as racist and unrealistic, will suddenly become a cherished commodity.

So, are the allegations of racism overblown, cynical rhetoric or are those making the accusations willing to accept common cause of those they deem to be racists?

Hope!

Unjust laws ought to be disobeyed.

For those of you who didn't know there was an Amy Schumer scandal -- apparently there's an Amy Schumer scandal.

It's a damned shame if true because comics work very hard in a very tough business and to have someone succeed on your work at your expense is intolerable.

Some will consider 7,100 unattended-to appeals to be a victory but that's merely a backlog and the larger point is the fact over 3 million purchases have been processed since October.

In perspective, that means the number of firearms owned by people over the nations entire history of the nation has increased ~1% in a mere 4 months.

The people do not want to be disarmed.

Look, the boys were nice enough to concede things like the right to vote and abortion (though I suspect the latter was to skirt child support payments) but for the good society we need to face certain realities.

While sexual assault and rape culture are generally considered "bad" -- and mob sexual assault all the more so -- the fact is, there are things worse than that; namely: The wrong sort of people protesting sexual assault.

You see, we can't have those people protesting against sexual assault, mob or otherwise. I know, I know; we've spent decades trying to get those people to even acknowledge rape culture exists. While you may think it's important to not be sexually assaulted it's more important that the lines of political partisanship remain bright and distinct -- like well-applied lipstick (and for the same reasons: so you can be appealing to those who say they want you to be with them).

So, ladies, for the good of the political fight you need to understand that sometimes boys will be boys (even if those sorts of boys are more predominate in some circles) and it would be better if you waited for others to tell you when it is okay for you to speak on a subject and when you do speak be sure to only say what you know won't embarrass the ones you're with. You should smile more and not worry your pretty little heads because the big strong ones will take care of you.

And while you may feel strongly about this understand that perhaps the best course of action is to sometimes just lie back and try to relax. It's certainly advice to be taken into consideration in many different contexts.

At least we still have abortion when its over!

This is not a Democratic primary OP but rather an observation that 4 to 8 years ago the thought of Sen. Sanders being a viable candidate would have been considered unthinkable. Obviously there has been a dramatic shift in a sizeable portion of the American electorate.

Admittedly, I'm too young to have any familiarity with McGovern apart from what I have read but it seems he presaged the Sanders candidacy.

So the Democratic party is cutting off its face to spite its nose (wording intended) over Single Payer to the point where even a once-solid Progressive such as Howard Dean has sold out and now the system they're defending is propping up big corporations at the expense of little, more response companies. This will do nothing but lead to regulatory capture of the insurance marketplace spreading the "too big to fail" disease from banks to insurance carriers.

We would have been better served had the Supreme Court had struck down this monstrosity. Then, at least, we would have had the political cover to work towards SP. As it stands now The Establishment is gutting every argument for SP while clinging to a law that is destined to self-destruct.

Next Up: GOP donors will start investing in the TBTF corporations soaking up those sweet, sweet tax subsidies.
