Clinton was reaction to Reagan which was reaction to Carter as the last real American leftist leader

Carter was a reaction to McGovern and wasn't as left as we remember, that's why he got primaried by Ted Kennedy and that's why we have superdelegates now

This is just going out on a limb but would I be correct to say that the founding fathers all wore that type of british officers hat because it was an officers hat? Like how everyone in the US wanted a big green lawn because the aristocracy back home had them? Or is this just wild and crazy speculation. Otherwise where does the tri-corner hat come from

Serious question, what happens if Northern Ireland wants to stay in the EU via reuniting with the Republic, but Ulster Nationalists types can't let a few hundred years of conflict go and in no way will willingly join Ireland? Do we get the troubles 2.0, UK bugaboo?

Yup.
Dublin rule = Taigs are going to get clipped in the name of the Queen!

Best solution is if NI just loving leaves the UK and Ireland, the young are identifying as neither British or Irish, just Northern Irish.
Better solution though is to gently caress off out of the place itself, and leave it to the mongoloid thick farmers who are too stupid not to get the gently caress out in the first place.

K. I just think of the Founding Fathers as a bunch of young and crazy guys who didn't get to do what they wanted to do in the old country and so they did it all in the new country cause there were no rules to speak of. Wonder how far someone could take that idea if they tried

I mean since Bernie can't win it's either slow neoliberal death or fast burning hilarity of Trump so as I vote for Jill Stein I await the Trumpening.

I think Bernie was probably closer to a real leftist/progressive than most established Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, even if he wasn't a "real" socialist. I'll still probably drop a vote down for him or maybe Jill Stein just because I can't see myself voting for Clinton.
