Emvee 8,825 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 He's so ****ing amazing. He actually proposes real solutions instead of a bunch of "I'm gonna's" and shows not only knowledge in what he's talking about, but has direct experience fighting for it. This guy has the credentials and the heart. If he doesn't win, I strongly doubt America's ability to value facts and equality. If he doesn't at least win the democratic nomination it'll because the American public a) is misled by corporate media and b) cares more about what the kardashians are doing than what congress is doing... something that actually affects our lives. But I say that in the least condescending way possible because two months ago, before I discovered Bernie, I didn't give a **** who won as long as it was a democrat.

He won't win the democratic nomination if he doesn't get the moderate vote, the southern vote, the female vote, the black vote and the Hispanic vote. All the white liberal democrats aren't going to get him there. Can he do that? I don't know, as Hilary has a good portion of those voting blocks at this time.

She's a Clinton. That makes her the only one the media tends to focus on when it comes to the democrats. No surprise there. The Clintons are not progressives. They're actually pretty right-wing. When you look at major issues, Bernie has been more consistent and in line with what the American population wants. Hilary? Not so much. People forget that she voted against same s-x marriage in 1996. She stays quiet about environmental issues and her major donors are banks... Banks that surely want their piece of the pie when she's president. The establishment, however, is fine with the fact that people are oblivious to Hilary's political stances. The DNC has made sure it stays that way by not scheeduling any debates until after the primaries have begun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've made sure it stays that way by not scheeduling any debates until after the primaries have begun. Why? Because she has years of representing the voting blocks I mentioned. She has a history (along with her husband) with those voters. We will see what happens, but the nomination will go to the candidate that gets those voting blocks.

I really believe Clinton is more centrist and conservative than what a Democrat should be: left and progressive. She's forced to be more left-wing and show her socially progressive side because of competition from Bernie, but I think that she really doesn't believe in a lot of what she promises. Any Democrat polls that show how much support Bernie has? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
