In what other sense can one be with someone who evolves on every major issue?

God...even her slogan is egotistical.
Personally, I like "He's with us" better

Your cherry picked list leaves out the AUMF vote Bernie supported, the votes on regime change in Iraq, attacks on kosovo, sanctions of numerous other places, war in Afghanistan etc,
He was against federal marriage laws til the mid 2000's.
His state arrests people at a higher rate than Ferguson and ships them to private prisons out of state as far away as Arizona, where Jane went to go visit Arpaio. If he was against them he certainly didn't bother to do anything about his constituents being arrested or sent to the tender mercies of these private prisons.
Um, Citizens United was a group that was created to attack Hillary Clinton herself, pretending that she was for it, is not only dishonest it's laughably wrong.
Also, Bernie voted to deregulate Wall Street, and he also takes money from Fortune 500s in the same manner Hillary does, through individual employees who make donations.
Some of those things that cause that berning sensation also affect the brain you know, perhaps look into some antibiotics and it might be a little easier to do your own homework rather than rely on memes made by people whose interest is not in truth telling but in propagandizing through incorrect and false statements.

(2,774 posts)It's an incomplete sentence. For entirely too many of her supporters it should read "I'm with her vagina." Because Margaret Thatcher, ya know.

(2,074 posts)Being female is not just about having a vagina.
Yes, many of us like the fact that she is a woman, and for many of us it forms part of why we support her. But it obviously is not the only reason why we support her. I can't think of a single Hillary supporter who would support Carly Fiorina or some other right wing female because she happens to have the same genitals as Hillary. Moreover, the fact of her gender is not reducible to her genitals. Being a woman is not reducible to genitalia! The importance of Hillary's gender has to do with the history of women's rights, with Hillary's own experiences as a woman, and with her work for women. It's a whole gender package, not just a vagina. And that whole gender package is just a small part of the whole package that she brings to the table as a smart, accomplished, knowledgeable politician.
The fact that so many Bernie supporters are so hung up about Hillary's genitals is very telling, you know.

(2,074 posts)the only one trying to cut the line is Bernie. Trails in pledged delegates, wants superdelegates to give him the nomination anyway because he thinks he's the most popular boy in school and should get preference to nerdy ol' Hillary.
