Bernie wouldn't have been able to magically give us single-payer in the (likely) 8 years he would have had in office. Either choice, Hillary or Bernie, is a good choice for America. We aren't fucking up by continuing Obama policies and ensuring a liberal court.

This is pretty disconcerting. Bernie is the best possible choice.
why are you letting reddit threads bother you?

True, but I think having someone who would push more for it as president would help a lot. Also more defanging of the socialism stigma is always welcome

Because I don't think he's the best possible choice and I want to see things I find interesting in /all
I don't want to get into politics, I'm just saying it's a little much with the cult of personality on reddit
He did better than he had any right too, likely because Hillary has always had a high unlikeability rating even among democrats.
He's done a good job, but it's time for him to start bridging the rift he's created between the progressive liberals and the moderate liberals.
Lets dispel with the fiction that Bernie Sanders ever had a chance. He never had a chance.
you don't have to get into it but I am curious who you think is the best possible choice
I know Clyde's probbaly long gone but this is bullshit. That's like saying I can't complain if you have extreme BO because that also occurs if you don't upkeep yourself. "Don't body shame me for being a BO american!"
You can be hairy if you want, that's your call, but don't act like you have no say in it.

I mean part of the optimism for me was because of what happened with Corbyn here, but the circumstances are different enough that it wasn't going to be the same really.
He's seemingly almost totally removed the poison from the "socialism" well in America. Everyone knows he's a socialist but he still got a lot of momentum and was actually able to pull the democratic party toward him and not away.
I never wanted him to be the nominee, but I'd love for him to remain active and vocal in the democratic party. He can push for single-payer MORE effectively when he's not president tbh.
anyone can push for anything but as long as the republicans control the house (until at least 2020) nothing is happening ever. with them controlling the house the miracle has been just keeping the lights on (mostly keeping them on).
Yea, which is why I feel like Bernie was always going to be more effective as an outsider. Him shouting into the shitshow rather than showing just how inept he would be at the center of the shitshow is good for the country.

I don't really have one, but I've said it before that I'm a republican so this isn't really going to be a useful conversation.

Fair enough
Tbf my knowledge of American politics is limited, so I'll defer to you on this

I'm sure from outside the US looking in Bernie seems like the only logical choice, but our political system would never allow him to do even 10% of what he wanted and the GOP would use his more extreme positions as a bludgeon to beat-up the entire DEM party.
I like the guy though, he's like everyone's hippie old uncle.

Now that I know that's what you want.
I see your front calf action, and raise you some back calf
doesn't help that he's said he's only democrat because didn't have any other options and wasn't willing to try to fundraise for downticket races
you already see nancy pelosi saying that democrats in congress wouldn't vote for his healthcare plan because they think its a pipedream and that they already have a more feasible gradual plan in place .
he doesn't even have the full support of one party

bored at work--someone tell me a story
once upon a time, there was a german monster princess named trab. she spent her days at work being bored and spending time on a certain internet forum. one day, much to her surprise, a handsome young man answered her request to be told a story. this story would be pretty mundane though as it was just a recollection of the events that have already transpired. when the handsome young man realized the futility of trying to tell a story to german monster princess he offered the following solution:

bored at work--someone tell me a story
We had a small zoo in our hometown that housed the saddest of Zoo animals. There was a crow that cussed at kids, a couple of Hyena that wore a rather deep farrow in their pen from walking back and forth so much, a single Zeebra that might have actually been a painted horse, ect. ect.
The best part of the Zoo, though, was this super friendly camel that everyone loved. He was old and scraggly, but had a good disposition despite his depressing surroundings. The first time I saw him when I was like, 12, I was 100% SURE I would ride that camel one day.
Every time I went to the Zoo I'd think about how I'd get it done. Obviously he was in the "petting zoo" portion of the Zoo and he loved getting scratchies so he'd always hang out close to the fences so that he'd have ready access to the scratchies. There was a low hanging branch off a tree that happened to hover above the camel in an area that he liked to hang out in. This tree and that camel didn't change from the time I was 12 until I was 19, the year I would try to ride the camel.
I was drunk with a largish group of friends and we were talking about how crappy the town was, the Zoo came up and I told them all of my dreams. Of course, being the good friends they were, they encouraged me to achieve that dream tonight and after a bit of egging on I agreed. We set out on the short journey by foot to the Zoo (this was a small town), snuck in, and made our way to where the Camel was.
He was sleeping close to his food trough but it didn't take much to wake him up and lure him over for the scratchies. When he was in position I shimmied up the tree and out onto the branch, just like I'd always planned.
The branch didn't hold though. It broke and I dropped stomach first onto the fence, then fell into the Camel pen where it was understandably spooked and kicked me in the ass. Then ran the fuck away while I threw up from the beer and trauma. My friends all ran the fuck away for fear of the noise attracting attention and I was left alone and bruised with the camel surrounded by vomit and drunk as hell. I gave up and passed out.
It must have only been a few minutes, but I was woken by the camel eating my vomit and licking my face.
Thanks camel. You saved me from getting caught passed out in the zoo and surrounded by vomit. I climbed my way out and made it back to my friends house where they were discussing what should be done about me.
I didn't ride the camel, but he saved me.

Because Beat It is an amazing song.
Also someone in PSO dared me to and I clearly had nothing else better going on in my life if I was able to play PSO for 7 hours.

in college my friends and I had a game of "Lullaby" chicken going. We were looping Lullaby by Shawn Mullins and seeing how long we could last. I lasted about 4 hours.

Legit I just passed tf out for like a billion hours
And she still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile.
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty.
But she'd be whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while, 'cause even her smile looks like a frown.
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town.
God it's all coming back.
The song is telling its female character to smile. I love it when people tell girls to smile.
