Same although I went ahead and voted for Bernie in the primary here because gently caress it why not. I don't really care that Hillary is winning though - she's perfectly acceptable and will be pretty much the same as Obama.

She's a lot more hawkish than Obama which probably translates to a lot more death and chaos abroad.

Uh no.

The "best" clinton posters spent all of their time posting their predictions about how Obama was a closet Republican who wouldn't do a single thing for Democrats or the left across the course of his entire presidency.

Those people support Clinton this time around as well

Today's Bernouts are just cogs in a machine that has already adjusted for their short sighted disloyalty

Hillary did 9/11.

The Clinton legacy will prove to be far more damaging to the country than a couple poorly built buildings.

Yes, of course; I assumed it went without saying. I didn't mean to be misleading. I do think the point stands, however.

Except (speaking as a Clinton supporter) they are more right than Clinton posters and their accusations of Obama. I don't imagine for a second that Clinton is better for the left than Obama, and he disappointed me a great deal.

The difference is that she won't waste her first term naively thinking she can work with the republicans like Obama did.

I was an early and hardcore Obama supporter, and after seeing one Bernie speech went directly to Clinton. Bernie seems like a decent guy but I don't want him to be president.

Alternative hypothesis: she does try because she's a moderate and an incrementalist candidate

The point is that the United States has seen similar levels of partisan [if not more] divide between major political parties. Reconstruction and pre-civil war, for instance.

Where we are is not unprecedented.

Both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are good candidates and I am happy to pull a lever for either in the general.

Either one will probably beat Donald Trump barring some serious catastrophe or black swan.

Bernie has also lost the Democratic nomination as of this point.

Hillary Clinton's policies are basically the same as Obama's except she's worse at choosing who to trust.

There have been ugly campaigns, but for as long as favorability has been measured, Hillary is second only to her adversary Trump in being unfavorable. It should make things interesting.

Edit: hillary will win for sure, though

This is absolutely a fair criticism but I hope that most of the really awful people got purged from the inner circle after 2008.

Bernie's an incrementalist, too. He just likes to pretend he isn't.

He's made a career out of amending bills to make them incrementally better. He's never done anything revolutionary in his life.
