If Sanders had somehow run away with the primary, she'd be going down in flames over this, but he didn't and so she isn't :shrug:

This woman does not deserve to be president. She didn't deserve to be friggin Secretary of State. She's corrupt as hell and everyone knows it, but nobody says anything because they're all mostly on the payroll or getting shouted down as frivolous smear campaigners. Or they trot out the "everybody does it, everyone's corrupt" line that has never and will never be a good excuse.

Meanwhile dipstick hedge fund managers are put on the board of things involving top secrecy and national security, things they know absolutely NOTHING about, because they bought their way there via her slush fund foundation.

eh I dont mind talking or nice discourse about things but when its pretty much "you are an unrealistic naive baby" for just wanting something that isnt completely free market outsourcing capitalist privatized bullshit without immediately being labelled a wackjob.

Healthcare is bullshit, I have a fairly nice healthplan, but hey look my lung decided to explode and i ended up in the hospital for 19 days. Bam I'm out i dont even remember something like 50k I mean yes at what price life, sure.. but realistically most people cant come up with that kind of cash on short notice.

Education is also bullshit, Now you simply HAVE to have a college degree to get anywhere above the poo poo tier, or union or be really really talented techwise. Some people dont have the luxury of being able to take exclusive time for an education and have to do both at least half or full time to get by.. this isnt really easy for some people supporting a family or whatever the situation. They dont deserve the undue burden of that just to try to get to a point where they can pay for it.

and then citizens united is pretty much the goddamn worst.

He needed 700 to get the nom, those were the first ballot numbers

It still took 4 ballots to go from 666 to 700

I can see that, but it's pretty poor idea to make comparisons to FDR when he was the candidate with the most votes and delegates. Instead they're unknowingly comparing Sanders's chances to Al Smith's.

I don't think anyone "deserves" to be either of those things. What they "deserve" is a terrible reason to vote or not vote for someone, IMO. What matters is whether or not they are the most likely person to do a good job in leading the country.

I literally heard nothing about the poor guy. I saw a clip of him at a debate where Hillary said him and her shared a belief on some issue and he shut it down.

I would like to see a MOM/Paul Ryan presidential election just for the amount of slash fanfic it would generate.

Hillary picking Warren as VP makes sense only in that she can co-opt the movement began by Sanders, while also neutralizing a potentially powerful critic in the Senate who also is immune to charges of sexism.

The deep core of Bernie's supporters can come over or not as far as I am concerned, which is the way I felt about Hillary supporters in the same position when Obama won- and more of Hillary's supporters were threatening to jump ship or not vote back then. Obama went on to do just fine. I don't see why anyone should placate people who pretty openly state nonsense conspiracies or people who believe Hillary should be a manchurian candidate to the policies and messaging of the sandernistas "movement." Should the messaging and policy desires of Sanders supporters have an impact on the overall general election campaign and platform? Sure. That's a far cry from this notion that Hillary will lose unless they give in to empty threats of losing the general without them.
