The main reason I'm voting for Bernie Sanders...

[bloodrunner]

If Sanders wins, i hope he picks a really good VP; at almost 80 years when elected, he may not last long. Being Pres is hard on a younger person.

[korijenkins]

as a person who is slightly right of the middle, an independent could sway my vote from the far right pretty quickly. this is me, personally.

I'm not doubting your political beliefs, or that an independent can win, but stating that political affiliation is largely irrelevant in the grand scheme. They're just labels. Bernie Sanders would be the same person with the same policy goals if he was a Democrat, Green, independent, or Republican. They're just organizations.

it would be funny, as an outsider if he developed dementia mid term.
do you guys have a protocol if the president is deemed insane ?

[korijenkins]

^this, the guy spent 90% of the election talking about the size of his hands and penis, the size of a wall and then defending him self for saying something directly on camera that would have sunk any other politicians career.

its like....if you cant beat that you really are shit.

inb4 Hillary gets nominated again, to lose again. that would be funny.

but im not a US citizen so im biased towards what ever is the most entertainment. crack on lads i have got the pop corn ready.

Clinton would absolutely lose again as well. Even if she campaigned on medicare-for-all and tuition free college, staples of Sanders' campaign, she would lose. Simply put, nobody would believe she actually wants to implement them.

I'd say a good 25% of the people who voted for trump just did it in a patriarchal effort to "put a woman in her place"

and then youll wake up

...or they just realized that Hilary is an incredibly deceptive person. But sure, let's play the sexism card.

Carry on.

Sexism definitely played a role. I highly doubt it was anywhere near 25% of Trump's voters. Maybe 1-2%, 5 at most.

Even so, she lost because of her horribly run campaign, weak policy, and lack of any real motive other than "me me me"

[Moadar]

Wasnt Sanders broke until like 40?

[lasheric]

It's very foolish to assume your paycheck has anything to do with who's in office at the time. Unless, of course, you're a minimum wage employee and the person in office raises or lowers the minimum wage.

k, thanks random guy from the internet. I'll change my whole way of thinking now thanks to your response.

[schwank05]

So you want to vote not just a normal Socialist to office, but a full blown Communist? That's OK Ill take my US free and Capitalist, Bring on 4 more years of Trump.

[The Stormbringer]

It doesn't matter who you want.

The way the Democratic party is set up, they choose who the nominee is no matter what any one of you wants. And then if you don't vote for that person, every such vote is essentially a vote for Trump.

That fucking party needs to get its house in order.

It's amazing to me how the general public forgets about the bullshit that is the "superdelegate" system every. single. god damned. election. cycle.

That said, the sad thing is that if the Republicans had the same system in their party, we wouldn't have wound up with Trump in the first place.

And let's not forget the electoral college. The bullshit keeps on a-flowin' down hill!

And...? So...? What does that have to do with literally anything? Wasn't Trump given millions by his daddy? This is the kind of question you're asking, I don't get it.

personally from an outsider, she came across as a person who wanted to be president for no other reason than wanting to be president.

Yes, the 25th amendment.

That reeks of someone who can't get their shit together. I wouldnt let someone with that background do my taxes forget voting him into some kind of office.

He has never had a real job in his life he has been working for the government since 1981 and before that he was basically a professional atavist, so No he has not ever really worked a day in his life.

[Jehct]

Whoever polls best and has the best chance to kick trump and his circus out has my vote. Bernie is cool and so are many of the other nominees, but I'd be perfectly ok with Joe Biden too.

What if a republican Nominee polls best and has the chance to beat Trump? Or is it Blue or nothing? Do you think about any policies and values of "whoever polls best" or do you just hate Trump so much that anyone will be better for you?

[Vatrilian]

America will never be a socialist country.

[Shadowferal]

At this point a cockroach is better than Trump.

[Adam Jensen]

Voting for someone because it makes people angry, rather than because that someone has good policy.

Brilliant line of thinking. Absolutely brilliant.

[korijenkins]

Yes, the 25th amendment.

Well what gives? We didn't use that against Reagan!

Curses!

I don't expect you to think at all if you consider "my pay is good" to be a reason to vote for Trump.

[Isilarya]

Alot of us who were military at the time felt a bit odd with Hillary. When addressed by the family members of the dead from Benghazi literally basically gave a very point blank I dont care. Whether or not any politician does is irrelevant most of them arent dumb enough to imply/outright say it. This line of direct not giving a fuck is uncomfortable from someone who would be Commander in Chief. That was my principle opposition to her.
