Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Yeah, I must say he does have a cavalier attitude re: the notion that other nations would have nuclear programs and I disagree with that

Getting along with russia is a good idea, neoliberals freak me the gently caress out with their war mongering against russia

I don't know much about Trump's gently caress NATO stance, I think you're referring to him pissing and moaning about other NATO members not pulling their weight. But thats true so I donno what to tell you

Banning people based on their religion is horrible and reprehensible, but its a domestic issue not foreign policy so its not what i was talking about

The democratic primary and the GE are different elections with different voters. As we're now seeing Clinton lost because millions of voters didn't turn up to vote for her because she is a candidate with massive negatives who didn't have a strong positive message of her own. Those are areas where it is reasonable to think Sanders would have done better.

The complete and utter rejection of Jeb Bush should've been the first clue that America is done with these family dynasties. Too much baggage attached to these last names.

Let this be a warning to Michelle Obama. Don't even try it.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Serious question:

Why would Bernie have won when he couldn't beat Hillary? Are you assuming everyone who voted third party would have voted for him, while also keeping every vote that went towards Hillary in the GE?

The Orange Idiot won because we just had a groundswell of white supremacy not seen in decades brought on by a party having eight years to stir their base in a soup of fear and rage over their black President.

I do not see how a Jewish Democratic-Socialist would have done much better to be completely honest.

Bernie would have won because the people that enabled Hillary to beat him were people of color in states we don't win who didn't turn out to vote in those states. The states that were enthusiastic for Bernie were in many cases the states he ended up needing to win the most.

The whole prevailing logic behind her superiority as a candidate due to primary electability falls apart when you consider how low minority turnout was (and that they didn't even reliably break for Hillary)

Another upside: the noticeable defection of Trump voters to the Johnson/Weld ticket means more hilariously inept Libertarian politics to watch the next time around.

I do not see how a Jewish Democratic-Socialist would have done much better to be completely honest.

Most of the people who voted Hillary in the primary were going to vote Dem in the general no matter what. Minorities are a locked in Dem demographic who by and large don't get a choice. Bernie got a lot of new voters in on the Dem primaries and did very well with whites, who turned out to be the key to this election (and also every other election ever).

This election also came down to turnout. Hillary could have won if she could have gotten Democratic asses out of chairs and into the voting booths, but shes a pretty dogshit candidate with no charisma or charm. Bernie could motivate people. Ironically his gently caress off huge rallies would have been what the Dems needed to turn out the vote.

So the theory is Bernie would have done better with whites, not lost any minorities, and would have increased Dem turnout, all leading to a Dem victory.

Its an absolute loving disaster, I think it will be a combination or Trump passing every regressive policy the republican congress can cook up, and every now and then Trump himself will go on some kind of hair brained and idiotic crusade and he'll be totally enabled to do that

Meanwhile, the supreme court will get a fresh bunch of conservative judges, and the stalling tactics of the republicans in congress to not accept obamas nomination will have paid off

Republicans will easily win the midterms in 2018, and will be in a good position to win it all again in 2020 with an incumbent president running, and then when redistricting occurs gerry mandering will get much worse, further cementing republican rule over the nation
