Democrats should stop antagonizing Republicans. It should now be obvious that at least a plurality of Republicans are not the reactionaries that the left used to believe them to be. (e.g. sheep following religious doctrines or blindsided by the Koch's ideology) Trying to silence them brings us Trump, and that is not good for anyone. People deserve a better representative for their interests, and their concerns should be aired to fellow citizens without distortions.

Sweet fucking Jebsu.

Repubs have pandered to & nurtured the right fringe & radicalized the base while being the masters of false promises for decades. But the evil Libruhls hurt their widdle feelings in calling them on their bullshit which is why they embrace Trump's bullshit because he yells louder.

WTF planet are you from, anyway?

People keep saying this.... Yet, every piece of evidence shows that Bernie is more electable.

People on the right are only interested in Trump, because they seem him as anti-establishment, like Bernie.



No, he just said she would pass BAD legislation, which is absolutely right! Hillary =/- Bernie! She is not a progressive, she won't pass anything progressive. She will pass stuff like the TPP, she will continue and expand on the endless wars, she will continue handing out huge corporate subsidies, she will bailout the banks when they fail again, she won't break up the banks after they fail, etc..

To sit there and say he dislikes her, because of vagina or some bullshit is nonsense...

There is no basis for making these claims, except personal dislike. First and foremost, the President does not pass anything. Again, Sanders supporters need to learn about basic things like separation of powers and co-equal branches.

ROFL.... Yah, that's why she laughed off the questions about the influence wall street has over her. She is such a straight arrow!

You still didn't prove your bullshit claim that Hillary is more electable, either! Which might be tough, given that all the facts say otherwise.


You also still haven't elaborated on how Shillary would pass progressive legislation. She would be in an even worst spot than Bernie!!!! If Bernie would win the election, he would get a super majority in the legislative branch. If Hillary wins, assuming she even can win, she would AT BEST get a split.

If someone would be completely incapable of passing progressive legislation, it would be Hillary. This is all assuming she has an interest in passing such legislation in the first place too.... Hint: She doesn't....


Here is the true Hillary Clinton,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze6bOL8zVds

"My opponent's plan is to give free education to everyone..."

That's also supposedly her plan, but she slipped, and forgot to keep copying Bernie.... I can't hardly blame her really. So, many lies to keep straight.

If you remove your personal dislike of her, these are all arguments to vote for Hillary.

Sounds like all reasons to vote for Sanders. You already conceded that if he wins the nomination he would almost certainly beat Trump.

Now I'm thinking this is just a troll acct.

Bernie getting a supermajority in 2016 is completely absurd. Not going to happen. Jerb! has a better chance of getting elected than what you just posted.

Dems can win maybe the Senate back. GOP will control house due to gerrymandered districts.

You're arguing against a Hillary straw person of your own making. If you want to argue about her positions on the issues, argue against them directly. Otherwise, you're just waving around that right wing "trust" canard.

I don't agree with her about everything, beginning with her probably being too soft on our lying Israeli "friends".

All the poll data we have had for months.

Because Hillary doesn't excite the base. I honestly question if she can even beat the republican nominee, given that fact. But that aside, the probability she can acquire a majority, never mind a super majority is incredibly small. No one is excited about her, except maybe a few feminist.

You are conflating her current position, which she arrived at by copying Bernie Sanders, to her true positions! Hillary has no true positions! Everyone has known that for decades! Her opinions change with poll numbers.


At least we can agree on that..... Sick of the US meddling with Israel. Let them fight their own battles, and let them pay for it.

Or are you referencing the bullshit polls Like asking who'd win if batman fought bigfoot?

Nobody claimed that Dems could claim a majority of Congress but you who claimed that Bernie would. Which is bullshit.

Right back around to spouting off about right wing "trust" issues beating on the straw. If you want to see Hillary's changing views, try this-

Ignoring data you don't like is akin to sticking your head into the sand.

Actually, he was claiming that Hillary could pass progressive legislation, while Bernie couldn't. That was wrong on multiple levels!

Hillary is a corporate shill.... How do you not understand that? Do you honestly think corporations paid the her millions, way over 120 million between the two of them, for speeches? They are bribes! Are you this fucking dense?!

I didn't concede that. I will concede that he's better than Trump, but that's not the same as saying he'd beat Trump. I think in all likelihood, Trump would emasculate Sanders and win.

I just destroyed your poorly thought out arguments...

Yah, polls only show him winning by 15 points....

Trump won't even be the candidate, it will likely be Cruz. Trump is only ahead, because the other losers haven't dropped out yet.

The "data" you've provided is ephemeral, at best. Among Dems who participate in the nominating process Hillary maintains a strong lead nationwide.

Actually, he was claiming that Hillary could pass progressive legislation, while Bernie couldn't. That was wrong on multiple levels!

The first thing a President needs to pass any legislation is the support of their own party for whatever they propose. Bernie's universal healthcare & tax proposals are DOA, doubly so given Repub control of both houses. Even if Bernie wins that likely won't change despite your assertion to the contrary.

Hillary is a corporate shill.... How do you not understand that? Do you honestly think corporations paid the her millions, way over 120 million between the two of them, for speeches? They are bribes! Are you this fucking dense?!

Which of her stated positions support that accusation? Oh, wait- you merely assume she's lying about all of that, offer your assertion as fact- that she can't be trusted because you just know she's lying. It's completely circular in the vein of standard right wing truthiness.

Apparently he thinks that Bernie will so inspire the nation that we will get some sort of 2008 wave election. There's absolutely no evidence to support this idea, but he doesn't seem very tethered to reality as it is.

I mean he apparently thinks the ACA isn't progressive legislation. (although he is unable to define what progressive legislation is, which might be a problem, haha.)

more realistically, I'd worry about an ideological purge.

just based on what I've seen from the Sanders campaign and Sanders supporters, there's no interest in fundraising for the DNC to help out down-ticket races, and the only ones they're actively donating to are progressives.

which is fine and all, but there are many districts out there where progressives simply can't win or aren't running... focus on electing progressives instead of liberal *and* moderate Democrats to cobble together a 50+1% majority and you'll end up with an extremely progressive minority that can't do anything other than filibuster Republican bills.

You just keep repeating the same debunked arguments...

Facts you don't like don't count...

Hillary would have LESS chance to pass progressive legislation! Again, assuming she had ANY interest in doing so, which she doesn't.

No, I know she is a liar.

Your lack of self awareness & circular arguments are tedious.

It all comes back around to you can't trust Hillary... because you can't trust Hillary. You just know that in your gut, the truthiness center that all conservatives have.

According to you, why, if Dems would just nominate Bernie he'd give Dems a magic carpet ride to majorities in both houses & everybody gets a unicorn.

But the Eeeevil Hillary will sell us out over all the issues Dems care about because... You can't trust Hillary about SS, or Medicare, or the ACA, or civil rights, or women's rights or financial regulation or the Iran deal or anything because What, exactly? Vince Foster? Ben-fucking-ghazi? Obama's birth certificate? Or just whatever FUD you're determined to spread?

I don't trust her because she started birtherism, as sec state presided over the destabilization of multiple nations, can't fake a genuine smile to save her life, and joked about getting an alleged child rapist off on charges.

As a reminder, that would make a white male a racist, warmonger, sociopath, literal rapist plotting a war on womyn (and children - please think of them when you're not dropping bombs on them).
