Yup. Bernie Bros and a candidate who is a science denier and anti vaxxer deserve each other.

Stupid peas of a stupid pod.

You sweet naive summer child.

 

[Frozenprince]

That doesn't mean anything.

The whole primary is suspect.

3 million people are liars or too stupid, then?

 

[Wafflecakes]

3 million people are liars or too stupid, then?

Didn't you hear? Only his vote counts so his candidate should win.

Anything else is corruption.

 

[tiredheadcrab]

You know its not a democracy if the country was run the way they want it to. I mean protesting the majority of what Democrats voted for seems rather silly.

 

[excelsiorlef]

What part of revolution didn't you understand?

Go revolt against the actual fascist threatening the country.

As someone who is voting for Hillary in November, I'm still waiting for someone to produce evidence that Stein, a graduate of Harvard medical school, is an anti-vaxxer.

She's the Green Party nominee. Ben Carson, a graduate of John's Hopkins medical school, is an anti-vaxxer, thinks the Great Pyramid was used by Joseph to store grain, and is a big huge idiot. Going to med school doesn't mean you're smart.

And I can certainly understand that, but that still doesn't say anything about Stein's views.

 

[D i Z]

If they had any real stones at all they would have shown up at the RNC this week. Protest that shit!


Flatulence in the wind.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I remember hearing about all the crazy things that were gonna happen at the RNC and the only crazy shit happened on stage.

Goddamn i love chili

While the RNC was full of embarrassing stuff, the protest outside was relatively tame if not literal piss filled.

I fully expect all the embarrassing stuff during this convention to be from these people.

 

[Already Torn]

And I can certainly understand that, but that still doesn't say anything about Stein's views.

Whenever asked about the question, she dances around it the same way Trump responds to "Is Islam bad?" A whole lot of "I think it works in some cases but it's worth further looking into" kind of pandering stuff.

 

[BradC00]

Stein isn't anti-vax. She just has to tip-toe around it because the green party has a bunch of them.

Speaking of vaccines, Donald Trump said

"Autism has become an epidemic. Twenty-five years ago, 35 years ago, you look at the statistics, not even close. It has gotten totally out of control. I am totally in favor of vaccines. But I want smaller doses over a longer period of time. Same exact amount, but you take this little beautiful baby, and you pump—I mean, it looks just like it's meant for a horse, not for a child, and we've had so many instances, people that work for me."

And at least 45% of the electorate will vote for this ignoramus.

Interesting how some people here try to discredit the entirety of Jill Steins platform because she may or may not be anti-vax. Then many of these same people seem to have a hard time understanding why Bernie supporters won't vote for Hillary because of a few things that they strongly don't like about her while ignoring her positives.

Third parties are impossible to elect in the U.S. What's more important right now is to unite against a candidate who represents hate and bigotry and will make millions of American lives that much worse. Nobody cares that your special snowflake candidate wasn't the most popular and nobody cares that you found another one whose party has dubious views like being anti-vax. If you're on the fence, voting for third party is the same as throwing your vote away. Jill Stein won't even get 1% of the popular vote. It's useless. The republicans have a fierce voting base and the democrats being divided because Hilary isn't your perfect candidate isn't going to help anything .Congratulations, you just made America great again. And by making America great again I mean making America absolute dogshit.

The difference is that being an anti-vaxxer is unintellectual and has 0 evidence backing it up and could undo decades of progress, and Jill Stein has a 0% chance of winning the general.

 

[Mecha]

Sure, but saying that she has no chance is different from disregarding her entire platform due to one of her possibly held opinions.

Of course. If she's talking about banning vaccines and forcing people to use pseudo-science then that's understandable, but I haven't seen that.

Her party is anti-vax and anti-GMO. She has danced around it in the past.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

What are you even talking about. Bernie didn't completely fail. He helped get the DNC to adopt the most progressive platform in history. He also regularly shits on Trump, which is great. Of course things aren't perfect. Far from it. I'm black and I know damn well that the US is not perfect and is deeply racist.

But electing a racist won't make anything great again. Well, it will - for a certain sect of the population. I trust Hillary and Co infinitely more to address issues like policing(whatever limited thing a president can do) than Trump. Trump, a person who shits on minorities, surrounds himself with people who shits on minorities and basically blames them for their situation with police while failing to acknowledge police have glaring issues too. And have since policing became a thing in the US.

Lying about the all out "war" against police while they have suffered the lowest level of deaths (even with the recent murders) in decades under Obama's presidency. More cops are killed in traffic incidents than other deaths like murders.

Bernie failed miserably because the political revolution never came for him or his supporters. He came up short and his platform input here and there is not a big deal. Hillary is not going to enact the most progressive platform in history because she doesn't believe in that and it won't pass. She just finished a primary trashing Bernie as a pie in the sky idealist who has no idea how to get things done.

What big things is Hillary going to do specifically for minorities? Is she fighting to change laws that make it difficult to convict officers when they treat people like sub human trash? No, she's proposing things like reforming sentencing laws and building trust between police and the communities they couldn't care less about as evidenced by blue lives matter/ALM.

What about federal job guarantee programs for inner cities across the country? New big time tax cuts skewed towards minorities/low-income? A new massive wave of scholarships and grants? She doesn't believe in the kind of ideology and aspirational government that would require. Hillary will not fight and put her future political career on the line for folks who are not white. Simple as that.

Here's what Hillary is going to do. She's going to smile in the face of minority supporters while they struggle under a rigged system. The financial sector will prey on the community. Police officers will continue to be unaccountable. Laws, drugs, and lack of opportunity will plague many and reinforce a system that has intentionally stacked the deck. That's why you guys are at the bottom of so many key metrics because people in the public and private sector work to make it that way.

Hillary will look at your plight and argue the US can't afford to do more because it's broke. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump will work to rebuild the nation's embarrassing infrastructure and keep inner cities in mind when making policy. Whether you trust him to do that or not is up to you.

He's already established himself as a white supremacist. There is no defense against that. There is a reason he polls so terribly with minorities. His main hope is more successful GOP voter suppression to keep minorities out of the polling booth.

As for Hillary, you're just not making any sense. She's consistently liberal and isn't that much to the right than Bernie. They are much more similar than they are different. You're really just lying at this point.

Hillary has actually built a relationship with many leaders throughout the country over several decades. If she was complete talk and was clearly shilling for the black vote, they'd eventually see right through her. But alas, she continues to do well.

There are polls out there showing that Trump may net 0% of the black vote in some states.

So if Trump really is the best for minorities, he has a serious messaging problem.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Maybe they're low information. Is that right, TheLaughingStock?

No, but they believe Democrats like Hillary Clinton are in their corner or alternatives are worse. I think current minority outcomes, share of economic gains, and how their needs are prioritized suggests they're wrong. The situation is really bad but it is what is.

 

[killer rin]

I really hope that these Burnie Or Busters don't accidently set America back a half century by letting Trump win. You guys finally have a chance at enacting decades of progressive reform through a Democratic super majority in your Supreme Court. You are so close that it would just be depressing if the Democrats lost because progressives didn't vote when it actually mattered
