In addition, I don't believe Hillary Clinton has a better chance against Trump. Her rallies, the few that she has, are tiny compared to Sanders and Trump. The failure of Jeb Bush shows that establishment support isn't enough in this election. And let's face facts, Hillary Clinton only ever won ONE election, her NY senate seat, and that was a gimme after her original stronger opponent Rudy Giuliani dropped out. Finally, the country is currently divided 1/3rd democrat, 1/3rd republican, and 1/3rd independent. Trump is drawing in the independents, so is Sanders, Hillary IS NOT. If you want to prevent a Trump presidency, Sanders is the safer choice.


Bernie has more support and is kicking Hillary's ass in the primaries? Check again. Perhaps you're confusing the stars in your eyes for votes?

I can't imagine how you're ignoring the 14% popular vote gap. MM hates black people, I guess?


CNN is shit? The network of Wolf Blitzer? Short answer: who gives a shit. There's plenty of unfiltered sources to form opinions on, mine being mostly a full transcript of Bernie's own words. Sure a ton of his supporters are annoying knee jerks whose do nothing slacktivism got us into this mess in the first place, and I will never tire of mocking them for it, but at the end of the day it's the man himself showing how badly informed he is and his total lack of a workable solution for anything.

Did we get the impression I'm gay for Barney Frank yet? The man was a pragmatic doer trying to realistically get the most good done he could, and he lays out the reason why Sanders stinks. That damning (unedited) interview ("Reasons? What do I know of reasons? Oy!") and Frank's opinion carry a lot more weight than the FEELING of outrage from some CNN cheap trick.

If I was a real cunt I would say I'm looking forward to 4-8 years from now when you're posting YoutubeTwo.0 clips of broken Sanders campaign promises. "I can't believe I fell for the smooth talking of the more charismatic Hillary alternative again!" But that would mean President Sanders so I'm not.



Alright look, it seems like no one is changing their mind here so it's pointless to keep going other than the sheer glee of shouting at things...aka the entire raison d'ĂȘtre for Bernie supporters!
