Well after Trump's speech last night, Bernie supporters will flock to Hillary..

[OrcsRLame]

The mental gymnastics refers to the emails being an excuse to vote for Trump. As if that'll just show that darn DNC!

You can pretend you're taking a stand all you want, but its just a temper tantrum that'll result in a vote for a person who couldn't even list the issues that are important to you, let alone support or advocate for them.

Good job.

You fundamentally misunderstand my position. The issue that has become the most important to me is the DNC not winning, and funnily enough Trump did mention the Sanders supporters that got burned by the DNC in his speech. So you're already just flat out wrong on that point. You can call it an excuse or a temper tantrum all you want just like I can call you a paid shill from Correct The Record. The truth is that neither of us will ever know for certain what the other thinks.

[Pangean]

LOL, cmon dude. They can use 4 sig figs during the calculation and only use 2 sig figs when they show the final results. Just stop. Have you graduated from high school yet?

Uh if I asked you on a test to tell me what percentage of 75 is 24 and you answered 33 you would be wrong and get no points. That's essentially what Trump did. And now we have you embarrassing yourself over it. All the while ignoring this is a moron bragging about how long his applause was.

[chrisfover87]

They are in no way comparable.

Why the double standard then? Why his standard only applies to Trump but not to MLK Jr. and the other speakers? I can easily find great speeches that do not directly offer or discuss any detailed plans.

[Fenixhart]

Some will both ways. It happens in just about every election. How much however remains to be seen. The GOP party is not as fractured as some would like for it to be.

- - - Updated - - -

Having former Republican Party runners Basically warn the public about voting for trump and having several old suppoters say ?No thanks" to his nomination?

The party is fractured as hell. You already had the whole RINOs thing going on then Trump came and drove the wedge even further.

[Kaleredar]

See, I care about all of that. But like I said, I care more about the DNC losing now.

See, the fundamental difference is that Hillary is commanding me to kneel. Trump is asking for my support. I may think Trump is a colossal douchebag, but he has never demanded my obedience the way Hillary and the DNC have. I'd rather die on my feet than kneel to a tyrant and live.

And that's exactly what it is. Cutting off the nose to spite the face. That's what I'm doing.

And actively harming other people.

Just so we're clear.


You sound more like you want someone to feel you're valuable than you actually care about politics and disguising it behind "OMG HILLARY IS SUCH A DICTATOR" just because the DNC felt she was a stronger candidate than Sanders. Which seems pretty petty.

But I guess it takes a casino-owner businessman to know how to sell people poison and make them want it.

Trump is not anti-gay. And just because the GOP platform has some bullshit in it, does not mean he will try to get that put into legislation. He is much more progressive than any GOP candidate has been.

Yes, so let's just hope that Trump's candidacy and political appointments in no way share the greater anti-gay rhetoric of his party, right?


It's fascinating to hear. People's legitimately courting a trump candidacy just seem to be measures of "well he probably wont do this thing he said he'd do!" and "well he'll probably do this thing he didn't say he'd do!"

I guess when a candidate has no concrete political platform, people can self-project their desires on to him. Suddenly, he's the candidate for you, because he hasn't actively said he wont do something you like, and probably wont do things you don't like!


It's like a mystery box. Who knows what could be in it? Elect him the most powerful man in the world and find out!

Please, continue to tell me what I think and feel. That's totally gonna convince me that you're right!

Furthermore, it says in the DNC's charter that they will be neutral towards all the candidates. It's the rules they've set up for their own fucking party. Yet we have hard evidence that they conspired to torpedo Sanders' campaign. Real talk, did you even read the fucking emails that wikileaks released yesterday?

[chrisfover87]

Yes. I'm wrapping up a STEM double major.

Also, to be clear, my original post was a joke, but then you decided to be a turbonerd about it and didn't even manage to get it right.

I didnt even manage to get it right? I will try to explain again:

If they chose to use 4 sig digits in that twitter, it could be something like "total time: 74.67 minutes, applause time: 24.35 minutes, percentage 32.61%". But they decided to use 2 sig digits, which makes the previous statement to "total time: 75 minutes, applause time: 24 minutes, percentage 33%" which is what you are seeing now. Understood?

You are hopelessly lost.

Only in your opinion

[Barnabas]

Bernie supporters aren't happy about the news that leaked that they got cheated by the DNC. So I don't know what they will do.

Haha. Unlike the previous dude, you dont even know what I am talking about. Reported and ignored.

[Height]

I supported Bernie, however, only lightly. I thought he was more genuine, but from a political perspective I thought a lot of the stuff he wanted wouldn't get passed through congress anyway. In reality, Hillary would be more likely to get things done, although they'd be small. That's just the nature of our democracy.

So I was a Bernie supporter, but I'll now be voting for Hillary. Don't get me wrong, I don't love her, but the alternative is way worse to me. Here's hoping we have better choices next time around. I also, won't fool around with third party candidates. This isn't the election to do that on given how dangerous Trump is.

[Lost Zero]

I don't like Hillary. I don't like Trump. I did like Sanders, but he never really had a shot.

Fortunately I'm not from the US, but if I was...I'd vote Hillary.

She has the potential to be a merely bad president. Trump has the potential to be an utter disaster.

Trump...scares me. He seems to be willing to tell any lie and embrace any cause or rhetoric to get into power. He strikes me as someone who wants to be president to be president, not because he wants to do good for anyone.

All I can say is - very happy not to be in the US.

[chrisfover87]

Hopelessly. Lost.

"double STEM degrees"

[Pangean]

Haha. Unlike the previous dude, you dont even know what I am talking about. Reported and ignored.

LOL I am just speaking to what Trump did. It's the figures he presented.

[Nehezbegar]

All Clinton has to do is to offer them more free stuff. Free education, free meals, free internet, free cellphones, free cars, free houses and they will vote for her.

And free sex . As Marks said, give ppl democracy, they will choose socialism

And if this is truth

They won't flock to Hillary for sure

[Fahrenheit]

Typical personal insult based on the logic "if you disagree with me, then you are automatically dumb". Very convincing.

It's not 100% unfounded. I mean, who do you think I am, Trump?

I could go on.

There are a lot of checks and balances. The only things the President is really going to be able to do is have control over the military and appoint supreme court justices. Neither of which I trust Trump to do.

We've really been seeing in the past 4 years what it's like with Republicans in control. In 2008 to 2012, we saw what it was like having Democrats in control. In all honestly, the Democrats got more done.

Trump would also have the ability to declare tarrifs on a per product basis launching us into a trade war.

Your position is illogical.
I get you feel shafted and want to inflict pain on the DNC. But, you'd also be potentially inflicting pain and suffering in the entire nation, should enough of your ilk do the same.
Cool down. Go bang your girl/guy. Have a nap. Then realize Sanders and Clinton share something like 90% of a voting record and huge similarities in their campaign platforms. Moreso since Sanders endorsed and pulled her further to the left.
If you're the Sanders supporter you claimed to be, the SCOTUS justice appointments alone should make this a no brainier, despite the DNC shenanigans.

[Theodarzna]

..... But then the DNC Email links happened and she picked Kaine as a VP.

[Barnabas]

We already declare tariffs on a per product basis. What planet have you been living on? Oh what's wrong with it now is it because it's trump?
