As someone who grew up in Lynchburg, most of the students at Liberty are from very conservative religious families and it tends to be their first time actually being away from their parents. They're usually not very political other than "Democrats bad, Republicans good" and generally will support whoever is the most "Christian" or whoever their parents support. That being said, they also tend to pride themselves on being 'non mainstream' (lol) and Bernie might go over a bit better there than you'd imagine, as he's running against the TRUE enemy (and someone their parents hate), HRC.

This is pretty much the exact type of person you can convert, isn't it? Like, if I were Bernie I would say if you want to reduce abortion here's what you do, you give everyone who works a living wage, you give every mother at least six weeks of maternity leave, you give them universal single payer healthcare fit their children and themselves, and you give them free and easy access to birth control so they can make the decision of when they have a child, and then pivot and say outlawing abortion does nothing, it's been proven everywhere that outlawed abortion, abortion rates did not actually go down. If you want to reduce abortion that's a waste of time. Trust women that they don't make that decision lightly. Trust women.

"We shouldn't even try to talk to shitheads" being the motto of liberalism for the last fifty years is why we have the label of elitists and why these people don't take us seriously when we say we are trying to help them. A crowd of young people who haven't been involved in politics long enough to really make up their mind is a crowd that can still be swayed. If a shitheaded evangelical university is going to give Bernie a chance to corrupt their youth he should absolutely be taking it, not refusing on the grounds that it's founder was a racist or that the parents who sent their kids there probably have wrong opinions about race.

I know quite a few folks from high school who had super religious parents who would only pay for their college if they went to Liberty (or, presumably Bob Jones or Oral Roberts or god forbid Patrick Henry). It was really quite sad. I would imagine there's a non-insignificant chunk of kids at Liberty who don't really want to be there but didn't have a much better option. Stop humanizing the candidates, IJR! You're making it harder to actively dislike them! except Scott Walker, just seeing his mug makes me steam

Twas the day of debate, when all throughout Cleveland, Conservatives knew, it was time to get even. The establishment practiced and prepped with great care, In the fear that The Donald soon would be there. The masses were nestled all snug in their seats, Waiting to witness the establishments' defeat. And moderators at their desk, and candidates on stage, Bracing themselves for Ol' St. Trump's rage. When out on the street there arose such a clatter, They sprang from the Q to see what was the matter. Into the streets they flew like a flash, Knowing that soon there would be a great clash. The moon shined on the breast of the Cuyahoga River, And Walker and Bush began to quiver, At the sight their wondering eyes had just seen, A Sikorsky S-76, luxurious and pristine. With a gold plated logo, and plush leather interior, All knew in a moment Mr. Trump was superior. The candidates all bowed their heads in shame, As St. Trump descended, and called them by name! "Now Walker! now, Bush! now, Marco and Rand! You've let rapists and murderers into our land! On our southern border, I'll build a great wall! And I'll make the Mexicans pay for it all!" "Oh look, it's JEB!, the establishments' choice, They claim he'll provide a reasonable voice. But JEB! hired his brother's foreign policy hacks, Who started that stupid war in Iraq!" "And Scott Walker is here, with his terrible hair! Against me this loser hasn't a prayer! He bowed, he groveled, and begged both the Kochs, He's a shill, a stooge, the ultimate joke!" "And there's Mike Huckabee, a modern day theocrat, He raised taxes in Arkansas like some kind of Democrat! Look, it's Chris Christie, how could you miss him? We could solve world hunger if we let the Africans eat him!" "Marco Rubio, they say, is the great Latin hope, but if you ask me, he's kind of a dope. Ben Carson I'll admit, is one fine class act, Have I mentioned how much I love all the blacks?" "Like father, like son, Rand Paul is a quack! John Kasich is a Lehman Brother's Wall-Street hack! About Ted Cruz, I won't say a bad thing, He's the only one here smart enough to kiss the ring." "I see that loser Lindsey Graham isn't here, who the hell would vote for that closeted queer? I see that Rick Perry is absent too, That mouth-breathing retard couldn't add 2 and 2." Humbled, the candidates spoke not a word, With tears in their eyes, the sobs in their throats could be heard. Donald ran his hand through his magnificent comb-over, Knowing their campaigns were toast, it was over. He sprang to his chopper, to the crowd he waved good-bye, And away he flew into the night sky. But they heard him exclaim, as he soared higher and higher, "Let's make America Great Again!!! Obama you're fired!!!"

Being caught supporting anything that ain't the school's version of "Christian" is a punishable offense at Liberty University. This includes doing it off-campus or online if some other student rats on you, which they will. Nintendo Kid fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Thump! posted:I agree with that. As much as I love the guy and know that he understands the race issues, and I see his ideal of the thought that fixing economic disparity will help with that, he needs to break it down for the vast majority of folk who can't see that the two are related. I really haven't seen this thrown out much so I'm gonna throw it out there. I think Bernie's whole run is aimed at white people. Specifically disaffected white liberals who would love to get rid of their college debt but still shy away from icky social welfare issues. When I see Bernie talk, I feel like he's talking to me. White, late 20s, father of two, working a poo poo job, and just bought a house in the suburbs. My wife, on the other hand, doesn't feel it. She loves the message. But it's not appealing to her. Similarly, I think the message is aimed squarely at conservatives and "undecideds" who have jumped ship on the Democratic Party. How? By reminding them that they're part of the class struggle, too. Making it a religious and moral obligation to help the poor. I'm not trying to be glib, but you see it constantly in this thread and it's a really biting critique of liberals and armchair leftists.

I think the fact that they invited Bernie God drat Sanders to speak at their university is proof enough that maybe things have been overstated about the conservative regime there. If they were as opposed to liberalism are you think they are they wouldn't have invited the most liberal presidential candidate in years to speak.

We have tried. And tried. We spent the entirety of the last 50 years coddling shitheads and altering public policy so they wouldn't get their feelings hurt. Shitheads are the reason we didn't get a Civil Rights Act until 1964. And now there are shitheads running Congress, and when Obama attempted to engage them in civil discussion they spat on him and called him a fascist. I'm done with coddling shitheads. When they're ready to listen, we'll talk, but being unwilling to listen is what makes them shitheads.
