Bernie? whose policies are so radical they have no fucking chance in hell of being put into place, let alone the guy getting more than 20% of the general vote.
Trump? the frontrunner in the Republican party? yeah. thats a great option.
Who is the better option than hilary? seriously, use adult, real world thinking here.

My adult, real world thinking was savvy enough to see that Sanders was going to be very very popular all the way back in April.
Listen to what little logic you possess and accept that voting for Hilary is voting for the establishment that has failed us.
Go ahead and roll over for Hillary. By supporting her you are supporting failure, you are supporting the elitist who care only for themselves. Good Job.
13586999:PCPRINCIPAL said:Last year in the wake of the VA waitlist scandal, Bernie sponsored the most comprehensive veterans legislation in decades. He then partnered with Sen. John McCain to get it passed into law. Sanders' bill, known as the Veterans CHOICE Act, greatly improved VA dental and healthcare by expanding access. It hired more doctors and nurses to see us, created more VA hospitals for more convenient appointments, and improved transparency and accountability in the VA. It expanded educational opportunities by preventing states from denying in-state college tuition to military members, and guaranteed those same benefits to surviving spouses. Bernie's bill also created new measures to put veterans back to work. Without question, Bernie would be the first to acknowledge that more must be done, but his bill was a major step in the right direction. As President, we know Bernie will fight to fix what's broken at the VA and ensure Veterans are taken care of when we return home.

13587029:FriedRice said:you are definitely 18 years old the way your asserting yourself by using belittling forms of passive aggressiveness. An "adult" would consider all candidates in the party and choose one that represents their values, not shrug their shoulders and vote for a candidate that clearly has no place in office.
sure Bernie's radical but at least he's predictable. Dude hasn't changed his stance on anything in the past 20 years. I'd love to remind you of Hillary's disgusting past of lying and hypocrisy, but you sound a bit too convinced by her hundred million dollar campaign that she's already the decided winner. if you really look into Bernie's campaign platform you'll realize that his extremely liberal values clearly won't pass through legislation, but the man has big ideas all over the place. Most importantly for me is he's vowing to stop global warming, which many of the other candidates literally pretend is a myth in order to gain the trust of pacified America.
13587084:californiagrown said:Bernie is unelectable in the general election. That is obvious. He is doing a good job of raising points and questioning the status quo, but he is unelectable. The question you need to ask is who will be worse for america- Hilary, or one of the Republican candidates.
13587107:nocturnal said:I think it's only halftime and you're jumping to conclusions. I do agree that it would be very surprising if he wins over Hilary but it's definitely a small possibility of that happening.

This election is fucked for both Republicans and Democrats. The top republican candidate seems like a plant intent on ruining the party forever. And the runner-up democratic candidate will likely weaken the party significantly when he inevitably loses the nomination and then splits the liberal vote by selfishly running as an independent.
13587112:californiagrown said:If he gets the nomination there is no chance in hell he wins the general. No chance. And that means one of the bigotted, fear mongering republican candidates gets elected. And that truly terrifies me.

I wish I could find that because it was very interesting.
But I do agree with californiagrown here insofar as Hillary is a vastly lesser evil in comparison to the current front runners of the GOP. If we have to pick between Hillary and either Trump/Carson/Cruz, Hillary will get my vote 10/10 because those idiots represent a far greater threat to everything than Hillary does.

Haha. There wasn't anything passive about me calling him and now YOU naive.
And adult decision is one based on the real world effectiveness of his or her vote. Not the "in a perfect world where everyone believes the way I do" effectiveness.

13587116:ebotdz said:youre massively begging the question here. he's unelectable because hes unelectable! solid reasoning there.
furthermore, what makes you so certain he would run as an independent if he doesn't receive the nomination? of all the people involved in this joke of an election cycle, he seems to be one of the more sensible ones who would realize the damage of splitting votes.

This is fucking scary for the rest of the world. As much as I hate to admit it America does have a leadership role to play in world events and looking at who you guys have to choose between...it HAS to be Bernie.

13587154:californiagrown said:I would love to see that article. From everything I've read ( editorials, polls, and factual reporting) it seems as though a large part of the country wants to move a little back towards the middle from Obama's policies... Bernie is a strong jump to the left. I believe the moderate right voter base would be mobilized by a Bernie Sanders nomination, but not with a much more moderate Hilary nomination. Similarly, a trump nomination would mobilize sane peoples votes, but a rubio nomination wouldn't.
13587166:fuckmekevin said:Why in every election do we choose to vote on the lesser of two evils. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Boeing — devote about a third of their funds to democratic candidates, Hilary being a favorite of the arms industry. She received the most funds from arm companies during the 2006 senate and has received more funds from the arms industry than all other 2016 candidates, more than any other republican candidate. So a vote for Hilary is a vote for the military industrial complex.

Trump won't get the nomination because he is unelectable as well. How does Bernie poll against the other frontrunners on the right?
