It didn't in the 90s. Things went to shit in the 2000s. The Republican years sucked. I can't reward that. Id love a Bernie but will take a hillary.
When I listen to Ben carson I realize how important it is Republicans don't control the government next year.
And im not nearly as concerned as I would be if rubio or kasich were the nominee. It's like brexit. You know even the people who voted stay wanted to exit too. If trump wins I'll live.
I always say if trump were the democratic nominee ID be his biggest cheerleaders.
Let me say no way trump will win, but I could be wrong. I got a bad feeling about this one
I've got a great feeling about this one!!!!!
Put it this way. I won't be nearly as disappointed as you if my horse loses. But when hillary wins and we take back the senate
You best take stock of the situation my friend and prepare accordingly.....
If hitlery wins, America will revolt and destroy itself....
If Trump wins, America will riot and destroy itself...
There is no winning....the game is over....
Drama queen
It's still your choice....reality is a *****.....but I think you know this....
I was a supporter of Sanders and was happy to see him come to the current political debate from the Left. He was providing an alternative to many issues that placed Hillary too closely aligned with neo-conservative, imperialist, Republicans and interventionist positions I normally associate with the Right.
Since then, Bernie lost the nomination, and I have seen many of my fellow Bernie supporters shout down at Hillary supporters, both at the convention and on social media. No more than three weeks ago, I too was telling a good friend that there simply was no way I would ever vote for HRC as I proceeded to list our differences on Latin America, the Middle-East, her tardy evolution on LGBT rights, her seeming cozy relationship with big banks, and her insensitivity on matters pertaining to criminality and the prison industrial complex. Her words at a convention won’t change my mind about these issues since I see her as having a long history of saying what suits her politically at the moment.
If you care about Bernie Sanders’ positions, you now have a decision to make. Of course you could refuse to vote for Hillary because you want to prove a point about the lack of democracy exercised by the Democratic Party. But then you would be hurting your long-term goals, because one viable candidate gets you closer to those goals (while possibly not sharing the goal with you), and the other not only takes you farther away, but also erodes viable paths toward those goals. (If you don’t think a Trump presidency would be that bad, simply read the news about Turkey these days, or look at what happens in despotic regimes).
Sanders already pivoted with his backing of Hillary Rodham Clinton. He pivoted when he created his “Our Revolution”
plan. He knows that we need more people to engage politics locally. He knows that we need to consider which senators and representatives need our support. He knows that Supreme Court changes are too valuable to throw to chance. To achieve his goals, Sanders knows he needs a Hillary Clinton presidency. Now if only his supporters would pivot with him.
To those of you on the Left: Hillary may not be your candidate of choice. She may even espouse positions you find morally reprehensible. Her nomination may evidence for you all the gross aspects of a two-party political system in the U.S.A. But her presidency is the singular path forward at this point to change the nation to more closely reflect your ideals. Vote begrudgingly if you must. Pivoting to Hillary is not an end; her presidency is a means, a temporary position if you will, towards an end.
