BruceVC Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Apparently Bernie is now sexist for interrupting Clinton's interruption Some people will exaggerate those types of so called SJ crimes Of course he isn't sexist ...but some of his supporters can also be extreme.

Rostere Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Guys. We need to talk about Hillary. Specifically, we need to address the myth that she is more electable than Sanders. Let us look at the facts: I have no idea where the notion that Hillary is more electable than Sanders is coming from. She polls worse than Sanders against all Republican contenders, and currently loses to all of them except Trump. People say that Sanders is disadvantaged by being to the left of Hillary, but this seems very out of touch in a year where the most important line in the sand has been drawn between establishment candidates and outsider candidates. Her favourability ratings have been steadily declining since 2012. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders favourability is growing, and has been growing ever since he entered the race. Clinton has a current net favourability of -14 pp, while Sanders' is +12 pp. Hillary would be the most disliked nominee in modern history. She would be more generally disliked than any of the candidates who have lost in landslides. And considering her pending indictment by the FBI, this only looks to get worse. Why would you choose a scandal-ridden corrupt dynastic heir with declining popularity over a principled rising star? Sanders has shown an ability to fundraise from small donors which beats anything we have seen so far in any election. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's reliance on super-wealthy donors is second only to Jeb Bush and John Kasich. What does it tell you when a left-wing politician runs a campaign financed almost exclusively by money from the extremely wealthy and corporate special interests? Clinton and Rubio are essentially clones on ME foreign policy situating them both in the Cheney-style neocon camp - I've already addressed this before at length so I won't talk more about it now. But hey, don't take it just from me.The case against Hillary Clinton: This is the disaster Democrats must avoid Dump Hillary, and Dump Her Fast: The Democratic Establishment is on a Suicide Mission, and it Will End With Trump Democrats have their history wrong — and are about to make a grievous mistake Don’t be fooled: Clinton is not more electable than Sanders "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Guard Dog Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Hillary Clinton is the perfect marriage of Trump & Rubio. She is just like Rubio on foreign policy (especially if you count immigration as "foreign" policy). She is just like Trump on domestic and political philosophy (except immigration, see above). Like Trump her presidency would be autocratic, respecting no limits on executive power. She will spend and spend, maybe not quite as prodigiously as Obama has but still bad. Welfare at home warfare abroad. Like Rubio her foreign policy will be interventionist and probably heavy handed. The only way she would differ from Trump is she is all for TPP. Well sometimes. Depends on when you ask her and what she thinks the ones asking the questions want to hear: http://www.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2012/11/200565.htm or http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/oct/08/hillary-clinton/hillary-clinton-now-opposes-trans-pacific-partners/ "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

People must support who they feel is the right candidate. But the view of Hilary Clinton on these forums is not the view that her mainstream supporters have of her and this applies to the majority of Democrat supporters So why Hilary Clinton, she has been preparing for this for years after losing to Obama. She has shown numerous qualities I admire that generally women need to do naturally when dealing with men. What do I mean...am I being sexist? No of course not. She had to accept her husbands cheating and losing to Obama yet she didn't throw a tantrum and walk off in anger....no she quietly continued to work towards her common goal She has ample experience and she firmly supports the important Obama legacy..she is the right candidate and represents the Democratic establishment. Sanders is a nice guy but he has made so many populist comments if he was elected he would be hard pressed to actually deliver Clinton has suggested nothing extreme and even during her debates what she say she wants to do she can substantiate I would suggest you seriously start preparing for a Clinton presidency....dont assume she wont make it "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

I've only come across a few self professed South Africans in my life, only one of which spends a lot of time commenting on American politics, let alone is a supporter of the most vetted, proven criminal, and obviously evil candidate in modern U.S. History.
