What the hell is going on with Bernie Sanders? Is he in the pocket of Big Ice Cream now? It’s a shame that democracy can be subverted for a mere tasty treat.

Thanks for the calm words! I feel like this point isn’t stressed enough. I’d just like to add that voting for Jill Stein, while admirable, could be downright detrimental if you’re in a purple state. I get voting your conscience, but people need to keep that in mind in our current shitty first past the post elections.

There’s a strong difference between getting your campaign money from a group and making your personal fortune off of a group. I’m not saying that it’s illegal, just that it creates the appearance of impropriety. Appearances matter in elections.

Please, please put some sort of formatting in that wall of text. It would make it much easier to read.

Honestly, she shouldn’t be trying to do that at all. Bernie Sanders, while he is many things, is not in the pockets of Wall Street. There’s some seriously legitimate stuff they can try at this point, but this is just bullshit.

That shit was started in some heinous push polling by Bush in south Carolina. http://www.thenation.com/article/dirty-…

I’ve probably had a different experience than the rest of you here.... I’m not going to say completely unique, because there are a lot of people in the world, but it’s definitely not common.

People, by and large, vote along with party lines. Left leaning independents vote Democrat, right leaning independents vote Republican. This isn’t true 100% of the time, but it’s true enough that literally any 3rd party candidate spoils lots of elections. It’s why Trump said he won’t run Independent (if he’s treated…

Just curious here, but do you really think Bernie Sanders would pick someone for SCOTUS that would uphold Citizens United at the expense of Roe vs. Wade? Everything I’ve read about Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton has indicated that BOTH would pick justices that would overturn Citizens United and uphold Roe vs.…

Guy I work with shares a Facebook account with his wife. I’ve hung out with his family quite a bit, and from what I understand he just doesn’t care enough about it to make his own. He’s such a luddite. They don’t do the whole joint name thing though.... it’s mostly just hers, and he looks at stuff occasionally.

They both clearly care, but they’re adults and can get upset but still have a civil debate. Bodes well for us citizens :)

I don’t understand it either. I’m a big fan of taxing people that can afford it. Kinda the whole reason for a progressive tax rate.

Jesus, this debate is super tense. I’m liking it.

This is just adorable. He convinces himself do hard that whatever idea happens first is the best and only truth.

Everyone please take a minute and remember that Jeb! is one of the few actual humans running for the Republican side. He’s opened up to the American Public as a person more than any other candidate. He tells us everything and over shares his emotions.

If nothing else, she’ll appoint liberal Supreme Court Justices. Hillary isn’t the devil.

I’m not an expert either, but I have my suspicions that it’s all related to money. It could be because the US is a big place and varies wildly, but we have Scrooge McDuck levels of money. We just need to figure out if having a massive military, shitty prices for healthcare and crumbling roads and bridges is what we…

That’s terrible. I think we need to seriously need to rethink how unquestionably obeying rank and power makes everyone vulnerable.

BernieBros are a pretty small group, you’re right. Most of the other supporters I’ve met that actually volunteer, donate, phonebank, etc. tend to have a much more balanced and nuanced view of Hillary Clinton and other candidates. I want more people to see these supporters.

I’m genuinely sorry for your experience. I know there’s a lot of people that have suffered the same thing. I’m not sure when you got out or what your command climate was like; I work at a small remote unit currently, and have for the past four years. I’ve seen 5 sexual assault victims (that I knew about) and 1 rape…
