Bernie vs. Emily's List
August 6, 2018 at 8:44 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
First Read: “Back in 2016, there wasn’t much love lost between Bernie Sanders and EMILY’s List, the Democratic advocacy group that backs pro-abortion-rights female political candidates. The groups two sparred over candidate endorsements (including for Hillary Clinton) and the campaign’s ‘condescending’ comments about Clinton’s campaign, and — last year — over Sanders’ appearance at a women’s conference.”
“Fast forward to now, and the two factions are facing off more and more in the 2018 Democratic primaries. And that’s largely been because Sanders — in races that feature prominent women — has often endorsed a rival male candidate instead.”
“It all feels like a replay of the Sanders-Clinton wars of 2016, a conflict so steeped in gender issues that the term ‘Bernie Bro’ was born. Our take: In a year when women are such a dominant force in Democratic politics, the narrative that Sanders isn’t prioritizing female candidates may not be great for his brand in the long run.”

forgot about it.. and just happened to see it when I was looking for something else.
Yes, well put. And, must send out the buzzwords like "wealthy donors" in an attempt to dampen the enthusiasm of supporters.
"It's not enough to say 'I'm a woman, vote for me.'" 
Way to dampen enthusiasm!
And the MONEY BAD (unless it is me or someone I like spending money on campaigns, everybody else is corrupt) message!
buzzwords trying to turn it into something it was Not. 
I mean really, Emily's list is doing good work, finding and training good candidates. Seems to me they're winning a lot of elections, too.
Mahalo, Gothmog
