I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of the people holding those views and posting are young adults/teenagers, with little insight into how the real world is. It's just a big echo chamber rehashing the same macros (mostly misogyny and friend zone poo poo).

That would be nice, but nope. If anything, the real world is even worse in a lot of ways. There's no shortage of supposedly grown men who feast on the exact same flavor of bullshit, and those that are young adults or teens will find no plenty of people to foster their hideous worldview.

Places like imgur just let that bile bubble up under a thin veil of anonymity.

So, today is mostly Bernie love and Hillary hate. I have my reasons that I don't want to vote for her, but the rabid hate she gets, rivaling even Trump's, seems really weird to me.

I'm in the exact same boat. I'd also not be too miffed if she ended up president, I just prefer Bernie.

This seems like how most Bernie supporters feel. Sanders is best, but they'll accept Hillary. Though there are a few that are rabid anti-Hillary which comes from two places; either they're super left wing and feel like anything less than totally and complete change in ever aspect of life and the economy is not enough, and those that were just Ron Paul supporters that think Bernie is just Ron Paul 2016.

Yeah, me too, I actually kind of like her. I live in a super liberal area with young people, so everyone is going for Bernie, and the amount of vitriolic hate I hear towards her all the time is stunning. And with Imgur especially, I'm positive part of it is that it's going to be a woman in power. Plus, I remember people on GameFAQs hating her because she thought violent video games needed to be regulated better :v:

Like Sander's could give them the change they want anyway. His big donors are unions that are essentially corrupt dues farms (and I say this as someone that likes the idea of unions). There is limitations on the scope of President, despite what insane FEMA paranoid rednecks think. Sander's and his base arent' exactly sailors in Kronstadt.

She's a woman. Hope that helps you understand why imgur wants to hit her hates her so much.

I wonder how they deal with the fact that Black Lives Matter backs Bernie.

My politics line up with Bernie probably more, but at least with Hilary I feel like I know what I'm getting. I felt like this in the primaries with Obama, too. I don't dislike Obama and I didn't then, but he also failed to come through on a lot of stuff that he'd promised during his campaign speeches. It's kind of silly to think that a far-left dude is going to somehow overcome the shitshow we have going on in the rest of Washington and get FREE COLLEGE FOREVER YOU GUYS. I wouldn't be at all bummed if Bernie got elected and I would vote for him in the general election.

I almost feel like Bernie would be almost entirely neutered as president, since not only would have every Republican in office opposing him but probably also a significant number of Democrats.There's no shortage of corporate support behind Democratic members of Congress or the Senate. It'd be even more of a headache than what's happened with Obama for the past 8 years

I feel like Bernie will be able to skate out of his driveway and make it onto the street of progress compared to Obama being placed under house arrest as everyone fearfully keep their sights trained on the house in case he tries to make any sudden movements like affordable health care and possibly keeping the government from being shut down.

We could hope that when an actual Socialist gets elected, it'll be too much for the rednecks to handle, and the US will shatter along voting lines. One half can catch up to the rest of the world (maybe Canada will annex Washington and Oregon), the other could be free to regress as far back to the dark ages as they so desire.

But seriously, if he gets elected it will be pretty incredible. I agree that most of the big plans he has will be blocked, but it will be an incredible step in the right direction for helping people.

The biggest thing that will happen if Bernie wins is that it will become apparent that America is sick of this right-to-center "Wall Street is Never Wrong" political lean that America has. Bernie having even the faintest shot in hell shows that Americans are not only fed up with how things are going but realize why it's happening. Income inequality is massive and getting worse and the right's "solutions" just make it worse.
