Longknife Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Bernie is gonna lose and that makes me sad. Yes yes, any idiot can look at a map of the United States and figure out that Clinton has been winning the typically Republican States while Bernie is winning basically everything else. He's winning, and I expect him to win the majority of the upcoming states. But look at the numbers. It doesn't matter. If Bernie consistently beats her 60-40, it won't even matter, because the superdelegate padding she has is just absolutely atrocious. The most disgusting part about this is is that we may see an end-game where Bernie has more delegates and Clinton has more Superdelegates, a giant personification of just how dead democracy is in the democratic party. He's gaining on her in delegates, but it's just not enough. While Americans sit there voting and saying they want Bernie just as much as Clinton, the rich ****s in Washington all voice support for Clinton, and apparently for democracy to work, certain people need extra privileged votes that count foran exponential amount greater than the average american. What a ****ing joke. "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot?

Rostere Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Wow. This woman would be the perfect VP (or Secretary of State) for Sanders. She's spot on where she calls out Hillary'd bad judgment on foreign policy. Couldn't have said it better myself. The fact that she resigned her vice-chairmanship of the DNC over a row with the sell-out DWS who wanted to restrict the number of debates only serves to prove her judgment further. It's going to be interesting to see the aftermath of a Bernie loss in case Hillary does not get indicted afterwards or chooses him as VP. Eventually, other people will take up the torch.

If for nothing else, I'd love to see it as a means of highlighting just how flawed and warped the superdelegate system currently is. There are still 2761 delegates to be allocated (not counting super delegates). From these delegates over 1300 come from states that are polled to overwhelmingly voting for Clinton. Let say Clinton gets only 60% delegates in those states (which would be victory for Sanders according to polls) so about 790 when you add her current 748 we get bit about 1540 delegates and Sanders delegate count would be then about 1070. And then there are only about 1400 delegates to be allocated. From which Sanders needs about 940 (about 67%) to get majority of the delegates. Michigan showed that polls can be wrong quite lot but even they would need to be even more wrong that Sanders would win. Which is of course possible as campaign is still ongoing and lots of things can happen. But currently it looks like that Clinton will take the nomination.

Malcador Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I guess the line of thought is like tobacco companies, but that seems a tad tricky to work in. That Gabbard woman is interesting, apparently she had a faux pas of going against Obama w.r.t referring to terrorists as Islam. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Rostere Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 That Gabbard woman is interesting, apparently she had a faux pas of going against Obama w.r.t referring to terrorists as Islam. I think you're referring to when she called Obama out for not referring to "Islamic extremism" as such? I'm kind of split on the issue. I do believe that what we call "Islamic extremism" is at the roots mostly issue-related and in that sense the "Islamic" label is just there because of the nations where the issues exist, but that does of course not mean that we should not look at the phenomenon of Islamic extremism collectively as one phenomenon, in which case the "Islamic" label is actually helpful. More on Tulsi Gabbard's archenemy DWS here. Select quotes: “The sergeant-at-arms said, ‘The people that run this want you ejected, they don’t want you here,’” Fouts said. When asked if it was Wasserman Schultz making the request, Fouts said, “The security guy said, ‘Don’t say I said it.’” ... “The Democratic debate is totally controlled by Hillarys [sic] good friend DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz,” Fouts wrote in a Facebook post. “No commentary is allowed by the audience. Particularly if you are cheering Bernie Sanders. Persons who do not adhere to Hillarys [sic] rules are threatened with expulsion.” He also said the Democratic Party’s debate process “borders on totalitarian control” and, in an interview on Monday, he said Wasserman Schultz should resign. Apparently DWS also tried disinviting Tulsi Gabbard from a debate. Go figure. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"

Valsuelm Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) It is highly unlikely that Sanders will win majority of voted delegates or even popular vote. Southern pelt just have most of the population and Clinton's support there seems to be overwhelming. There generally isn't any geographical or political terminology in regards to a 'southern belt' (I'm assuming you typoed the 'p'). Occasionally the somewhat arbitrary term 'sunbelt' is used, though just about never politically, as it really has no meaning politically. It barely has much of a meaning geographically. It's pretty much just a 'weather channel' and tourist thing. Depending on which arbitrary definition you use of the 'sunbelt', perhaps half of the U.S. population lives within it, though definitely not most. The 'bible belt' is a bit more widely used. Politically it has some meaning, though increasingly less in recent decades. No matter which arbitrary definition you use for the 'bible belt', it doesn't come close to having even half of the U.S. population., let alone a majority of it.

Elerond Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 It maybe because Clinton's social media staff messed up This is from @avalonbakery's instagram: "To be clear: Hillary was at Avalon yesterday, where this photo was taken. The controversy erupted around an interaction at a brother business in Detroit, with a different photo mis-identified by the Clinton Campaign (by mistake) as Avalon. It was their employee who asked it to be taken down, not ours. Hillary was welcome at Avalon , as are all the customers who have graced our doors since 1997. We hope that Bernie visits us too! And we ask that all the interactions on our site stay respectful to each other and all involved. We are happy to feel all of the passion in MI that led to the largest primary voter turnout in Michigan's history!" https://www.instagram.com/p/BCsq1lNpKyK/?taken-by=avalonbakery So Jill M. Wilson maybe would been more warmer towards Clinton if her staff had not advertised another company with her picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not illegal to be "wrong" in your beliefs. In the 1970s the media pushed that a new Ice Age was coming (because of a 30 year cooling trend). This in spite of the fact that most scientists were predicting a warming trend and not a new Ice Age. Neither the media nor the scientists were charged by the DOJ at the time. That said the question in the posted video seems to be pointed towards a suggestion of a RICO style conspiracy by Energy Companies to mislead and endanger the public ala "Big Tobacco", which isn't 100% analogous to being prosecuted for being "wrong" either. 3 I cannot - yet I must.

If things that are told in media are true, then case seems to be that Federal Government has been asked to investigate possibility of if fossil-fuel companies have practiced similar doctoring of scientific evidence and false marketing as which tobacco industry was convicted in 90s. So charges would not be for disagreeing with federal government but knowingly deceived public about something that is or could be harmful for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
