So, a Bernie surrogate calling her a "Democratic *****" is not sexist or playing dirty politics? Give me a ****ing break.

Bernies voting record is stronger, that is why she barely attacks him on it.

If Bernie's voting record is sooooooo much stronger, then explain to me how 93% of their voting record while they shared time in the Senate is identical? And the 7% difference includes him voting against progressive legislation like the Brady Bill 5 times. The worst foul on Hillary's voting record is the Iraq vote, and her argument for it made sense at the time. Her reasoning was to allow the president the authorization to respond in case of emergency. Coming out of 9/11, it is a fair reason. In hindsight, it's easy to dismiss it and say her vote was idiotic, but it made perfect logical sense. Who would have thought that Bush would have abused the authorization to the extent that her did? But, Bernie also has awful skeletons in his voting record, such as voting to dump radioactive waste near a poor Latino neighborhood in Sierra Blanca, TX.
Bernie is the one that attacks her for her record constantly and she rightfully attacks him in response.
Attacking someone on their record is fair game in politics. But, calling someone a "Democratic *****" or calling all of their wins in states as unrepresentative of progressive agendas because the states will likely go red in the fall is absolute ******** and dirty politics. Give me a break. Bernie Sanders is no ****ing angel. He is a politician. He has been one longer than Hillary and Trump have been combined. Don't act otherwise.
If there's one thing I hate most of this election it's the blind adoration of Bernie Sanders as the Jesus figure of American politics.
