You’re not wrong. But the last time America elected a socialist, we had to invent term limits after he died in office. The word “socialist” (like the word “liberal”) has been made into a slur that is effective in immediately turning off somewhere between 40-60% of American minds.

If you suggest that the Democratic primaries were unfairly contested, that’s a crazy conspiracy. If leaked info shows objectively that they were unfairly contested, well, that’s politics and we already knew that already and Putin was probably behind the leaks anyway.

If Sanders had won the primary (and I won’t rehash whether or not the primaries were fairly contested), there is zero doubt he would have a 15-point lead right now and win over 400 electoral votes. I would have donated every spare penny I had to him. Alas.

No, they aren’t equivalent. That said i’m getting tired of this idea that any and all criticism of Hillary Clinton is because you must be a MRA fedora waearing caveman who downvoted the traiiler for the new Ghostbusters movie. There’s a lot of smoke around Hillary Clinton that has nothing to do with Donald Trump. The…

It is indeed a false equivalence - Trump, for all his lies and shenanigans, has never worked for the government or as an elected official. Clinton has for many years. Her raisins in the muffin are those of a career politician, answering (and lying) to the public, while Trump’s are those of a private citizen. That’s…

I think that you are over-estimating Hillary’s appeal. I agree that the Dems should be winning by a landslide even if we had a tree-stump as the candidate. With that said, Hillary has some serious flaws as a candidate. I really wish Elizabeth Warren were the candidate instead. Hell, I think Bernie would have probably…

I feel this way about attacks on Christie’s weight. Yes, he’s an asshole, but it’s rude and lazy and we’re better than this.

Yeah I don’t really get the cognitive dissonance in slamming Trump for being an asshole about appearances by... slamming Trump for his appearance. There are 1,001 other ways to go after him that have nothing to do with his face or his skintone or his hair.

Good point, two wrongs don’t make a right. We can call Trump a hypocrite without being cruel.

Hate to be a party pooper, but really don’t like the attacks on Trump’s appearance as a response to his own personal repulsiveness.

If the election were held today, Donald Trump would apparently win roughly as many electoral votes as Hillary Clinton — who held a commanding lead in early August and seemed to be closing off all possible Trump routes to 270 electoral votes.

You realise that they served in a backwards time when the people didn’t expect transparency from their elected officials?

This isn’t a ‘secret illness’...she was visibly sick to the point where she had to be carried into the van. If it’s stress related, do you think things will get more or less stressful for her when she’s president? If it’s emotional thinking about something that happened 15 years ago, what happens when it’s live?

Please post a link to anything suggesting this body armor everyone keeps referring to...

Is there even a single picture of her appearing to wear body armor...like ever?

I’m not running for president, nor did I ever say it was brave. You don’t think Hillary will ever have to travel somewhere where it’s warmer than 80 degrees? There are hundreds of people at that event. Only Hillary succumbed to the ‘heat.’ How do you explain that all those other people were fine? Something is wrong.…

Everyone here likes to make fun of Breitbart for being an echo chamber, but it’s really the same at Jezebel.

I never said she should not be held accountable for her lies, but we need to collectively acknowledge that the other candidate has a significant lying problem too and somehow seems to not be held in as much contempt for it.

YES! I mean all the people who dislike her for lying? Have they heard Trump at all?

No fucking joke it’s a big, ugly stain. America really just needs more buttsex.

I’ve been affected by those surveillance projects and I’m not even American! I think in the end, that’ll stain America’s legacy. When people talk about Rome and its stupendous democracy and how awesome it was, hindsight showed us that Rome, like America, wasn’t great for minorities.
