A renewed respect for this group. Grateful that someone is still thinking about the implications of refugees when most of us have brushed it under the rug.

What a dumb mofo. Thought he was white and could get away it.

All good questions! Tax hikes are about Wall Street and speculators and yes, those dividends will pay into government spending. I believe the similar is the case with Clinton too, from what I recall from the Brooklyn debate.

For the sake of not having a bad taste in my mouth with regards to this election, I am refraining from insults. And for not putting your guards up immediately, you are awesome (although I wouldn’t blame you if you did, quite a bit of rhetorical damage has been done in this primary)!

If you observed a few crows as black and concluded all crows must be black then more power to you. I’ll refrain from stereotypes and insults as ultimately I’d think that’d only serve to degrade the election as a whole.

It’s also against the position that Gov. Cuomo took up here in NYS, he played a decisive role in curbing online payday lenders here a few years back. Nonetheless, payday lenders and check cashers are not going away so they come back to Albany year after year looking for politicians to buy and chip away at the ban. Not…

Okay, insult your way through it if you like. I have no judgemental comment to make of Hillary and I’ll refrain from insulting her supporters. My disagreement with Hillary stems from her economic policy and that’ll decide how I vote as it impacts all of us.

Okay. Your prerogative so nothing for me to say here, we both feel the other side has been neglecting issues important to us. Oh well.

No doubt the influence came from Carl Heastie, the replacement for Sheldon Silver as the new Assembly Speaker and big winner of 2016 NYS state budget:

I think you are gently trying to discredit Sanders supporters but if you are really serious about debating policy, I am more than game. Especially on economic policy, an area Hillary supporters seem to gloss over so they can talk about social policies instead. To me, social policy is relatively easy compared to…

I don’t think there will be any repudiation of Wasserman-Schultz going on any time soon, both she and Harry Reid benefit from deals with payday lenders more than any other politicians. Repudiating Wasserman-Schultz will only enable the CFPB to move ahead with ruling on payday lending and that can’t happen until Reid…

Nat X (Chris Rock) on Why Black Guys Don’t Play Hockey:

Meanwhile Don Cheadle looks like Charlie Murphy with a perm playing Miles Davis. I guess at least they got the skin color down? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Washington Post says it was ‘forceful,’ shouldn’t we take their word at face value? You cynical bastards.

Wonderful, you and other Hillary supporters can have monopoly in namecalling. I’ll stick with policy and refer to this recently posted piece as reference:

I like my strawberry ice cream and I won’t be pushed into liking only vanilla or chocolate, if that makes any sense.

I know many others feel just the same way as I do even if we never hear from them. These are the people who give me hope about humanity when it’s easy to become cynical about everything.

So why does she bring up how the federal government will grow by 40% if Sanders’ healthcare plan is enacted? That’s not fearmongering to you?

I think a virtual handshake is in order. I am like Obama what sociologists refer to as a ‘third-culture kid.’ I have lived alongside many different ethnicities in my youth where palpable poverty done purposely by class (often determined by the relative darkness of their skin color) and legal channels are the norm…

You suspect what? ROFL ROFL ROFL.
