weed 79,306 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 the reason people support Bernie over Hillary on certain topics is because Bernie's money is where his mouth is. Hillary says what the people want to hear. Bernie had marched for equal rights 30 years ago. 5 years ago Hillary didn't support gay marriage. Hillary accepts money from Wall Street and other major corporations, Bernie denies all money from them and preaches that he will bring them down. I get that Hillary has to try harder because she's a woman, but Bernie is the better candidate, in my humble opinion. Also, there's the email scandal with Hillary. Why would you want a president who's under an FBI investigation and could be arrested for said emails? If she's the dem. candidate, I will vote for her, but i'm praying for Bernie lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltaire 4,531 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Under Sanders, income and jobs would soar, economist says "Median income would soar by more than $22,000. Nearly 26 million jobs would be created. The unemployment rate would fall to 3.8%" You agree with Bernie Sanders (but you might not know it) "Sanders' economic platform is built on the idea that investors and markets are the best at deciding where to put their money. But he wants strong rules to protect the vast majority from economic abuse." Insiders: Bernie Sanders is winning the economic argument Robert Reich is an American political economist, professor, author, and political commentator. He served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997. Reich dismisses outright the idea that Sanders’ education plan would result in state-run schools. Since publicly-funded state schools are already run with autonomy, there should be no reason this would change. ------------------------- Simply put, the more voters learn of Bernie's stances, history, and character, the more they support him. He is pulling in support from not only Democrats and liberals, but also many independents and even conservatives. As the highest rated Senator in America, with an approval rating of 83%, the citizens who know him best, like him as their elected public servant.

Everyone is fully aware of your passion for guns. Though he is a Senator from a rural state that understands the use of hunting and sporting firearms, I'm not sure his D- rating from the NRA would be enough for someone with your particular love of all things bullet-firing.

Maybe he's familiar with the use of hunting and sporting firearms in 1965, but by his statements he's shown he does not understand their use in 2016, and besides, the pastimes of "hunters and sportsmen" are not what the 2nd Amendment is there to protect.

His approval rating doesn't have much to do with his understanding of modern sporting rifles.

I'm sure the man understands all aspects of the legislature he votes on, as he as made his career as a highly informed and passionate legislator. I'm sure he understands that the rifle depicted is a semi-automatic, that though very tactical in it's appearance, is not any more dangerous than a wood stocked rifle with a similar capacity magazine. That being said- I don't want to drag every discussion into a talk about guns. Your point has been made: because of his feelings towards what he describes as "common-sense gun legislation" (something you'll of course disagree with) he is not your candidate. I understand.

Carry on I guess Nope, in my world deer are tasty and sometimes have impressive antlers. The usual method of killing deer is by firing a small piece of metal at supersonic speeds. It has nothing to do with "dangerous". 5 minutes ago, Whispering said: You aren't a citizen of the US, so you aren't voting for anyone anyway.

He may or may not understand, either way it doesn't prevent him supporting an "assault weapons" ban and a ban on so-called "high-capacity" magazines. Talk on guns is often inevitable, Bernie has gun policies, I will post my thoughts on Bernie's policies and then someone else will make an ignorant comment about guns or gun owners, forcing me to correct them, and so on.

deeman 189 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 " WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has spoken out against US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, calling her a “war hawk with bad judgment” who gets an “emotional rush out of killing people.” “A vote today for Hillary Clinton is a vote for endless, stupid war,” Assange wrote via the @wikileaks Twitter account on Tuesday. He added that he has “years of experience in dealing with Hillary Clinton and have read thousands of her cables. Hillary lacks judgment and will push the United States into endless wars which spread terrorism.” Assange also highlighted Clinton's “poor policy decisions,” which he said have “directly contributed” to the rise of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL). Stating that Clinton went above the heads of Pentagon generals when it came to Libya, he wrote: “Libya has been destroyed. It became a haven for ISIS. The Libyan national armory was looted and hundreds of tons of weapons were transferred to jihadists in Syria.” He went on to state that Clinton did not learn from her mistakes, and set out to repeat history in Syria. “Having learned nothing from the Libyan disaster Hillary then set about trying do the same in Syria. Hillary's war has increased terrorism, killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians and has set back women's rights in the Middle East by hundreds of years,” he wrote.
