Our country was established, explicitly, to not give “the actual populace complete control”. Many historical developments of our *republic are a function of this fact. Furthermore, the political parties are not a constitutional mechanism. They are not mentioned in the constitution, nor are they beholden to the…

What’s “horrible” about getting more liberals elected to legislatures?

Man, you have a real persecution entitlement complex don’t you. Look man, no one owes you anything. And political parties in the USA are not constituional mechanisms beheld to the electorate.

Donating money to a cause does not engender a contractual obligation, fyi.

I thought Sanders’ goals were generally premised on a redistribution of wealth (and I don’t mean that pejoratively) What’s the problem here?

Man, I would have been such a Bernie partisan at 22.

Generally, we don’t value inductive reasoning as much as deductive reasoning, for the very reasons exemplified in your post.

This post is full of wild conclusions, but contains no actual factual evidence of the things it proposes.

Her opponent has never supported the party, is losing the delegate count, is losing the popular vote by large margins, and is suing the party. She doesn’t need to buy anything.

Pick fight, play victim when you get owned. Powerful, persuasive techniques. You’d do well with a republican voting base! Perhaps you should run.

This comment really sums up why everyone hates the IT guys.
