What benefit do you imagine comes from trying to convince people of Bernie's superiority? Honest question. I am very sympathetic to that view, but even (or especially) in the context of this dead forum for idiots, it accomplishes nothing except pot-stirring. No one is going to change their mind because of your posts--and if they were going to, what change would you hope to see?

There is no taking back what has happened and he's not going to run again, so there's no "get ready for Bernie 2020" argument. Are you just extremely masochistic or what?

it's literally a page from Trump's campaign strategy.

Honestly, other than the Russia thing this was always what the FBI did. The only difference is the long-established enemies of the FBI, progressives from disenfranchised demographics, are now inside the establishment. The FBI's dirty tricks are more obvious and more shocking when they're turning inward. For all they're doing to Hillary they attacked civil rights activists even worse. They spread propaganda about MLK, they wiretapped everybody to the left of Nixon, they stalked and harassed gay rights activists even as late as the 90s. There's a reason having an FBI file is a badge of honor among activists. The FBI is conservative in the literal sense - they exist to protect the establishment and to attack anyone who threatens it. The fact that we've gotten so far inside the gates that they're reduced to attacking a major party presidential candidate is actually a sign of progress.

Don't forget all the people who didn't run because the entire party endorsed her in 2014. They deserve to lose the election just for that and would be if anyone not named Trump was the GOP nominee.

I know a little rear end in a top hat canvassing for Trump in NH. We used to have a pretty active group chat about the Pirates & local Pittsburgh politics but I cut off all communication with him when he endorsed the reality television star in the GOP primary.

Podesta has been actively trying to get the Area 51 files, among others, declassified for like... a decade now? Some ridiculously long amount of time. Him and the guy from Blink 182 or some equally ridiculous poo poo.

e: so what I'm saying is, Mulder would vote Hillary because that means Podesta might get enough pull to make it happen.

I mean, that isn't so bad, really? I think they were just trying to get people to vote for downballot senates and avoid people being like "I can't vote Trump so I can't vote at all." If I was republican, I'd try to avoid that.
I get that, but I fact that it's been such a prevalent question (obviously) this election makes me sad.

The only thing I didn't vote for was school board rep, :ssh:

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:

Just to clarify though, since real talk I appreciate how cool 90% of the thread was about this request. Using "black" as an adjective is fine. Black voters, black caucus, black grandmas cook better because they don't put mayo in everything - all good. What's rude (all the time! handy rule of thumb!) is reducing people to an adjective. That's why I roughly think "blacks" trips a wire that "Jews" usually doesn't, since it's an actual proper name, but no dog in that fight so Jewish posters make their own ruling there.
My 2 Jewish cents: we're literally Jews, that's one of the proper names. Now, if you use it out of context or with the wrong inflection/meaning, i.e. "he Jewed me" or "what a Jew" (both things I've heard), go gently caress yourself.

Oh? Says who? Please note that even if you believe the Clinton emails were responsible for any change in polls (and many polls have not shown a significant change, something you're ignoring), the emails were literally an entirely manufactured scandal. There is no reason to assume there wouldn't be something bullshit for Bernie Sanders. There's also no reason to inherently assume Sanders would have won the debates, Sanders would have the exact same minority support, Sanders would not have had any health problems (he's older than Clinton and Trump!) or countless other things.

Your assumption is that a theoretical Sanders At His Best would have done better than Clinton In Reality. You're comparing an ideal to someone who actually had to campaign.

What basis would you assume Sanders has any of the same flaws in terms of party corruption that Hillary does? He's an outsider, he's totally unlike most Democrats. It's like the same set of people who are banging the table going "WHERE ARE THE TRUMP EMAILS WIKILEAKS?!?" there aren't any because neither Trump nor Sanders are deeply involved in a widespread political apparatus manipulating poo poo everywhere. Trump has a network of shady business deals everywhere, but Sanders doesn't have that either.

Sanders in his last head-to-head polls with 1000+ samples (before he conceded) beats Trump by 10.4 points on average. He would have slaughtered this election wholesale.
