Its how all socialist revolutions start. Rioting in the streets, entitlement, the disruption of free speech, a large dependent class, and the influx of foreign and child labor to incite a war on political correctness.c

Frankly, I suspect that after tonight more of the Superdelegates are going to make their minds up.

Well, Clinton's a sure thing right now. Like someone said before, having someone that isn't even a Democrat and wasn't well known with so many delegates is very surprising. But I think it was the only way to the white house for him.

Now I only hope she comes with her senses in a number of things, like Healthcare, Marijuana, and other key issues.

But I fear she has too many donors with a lot of demands, like private prisons or the Walton family, that go against these issues.

In the end, I hope the usa can get a new generation of politicians more aligned with the left than the centre in the next 8 years.

Also, fuck DWS.

Just my opinion, but marijuana is to 2016 Hillary as gay marriage was to 2008 Obama.

My Facebook feed just told me that "Hillary is running out of deep red states... Right about now"

Apparently Ohio and Missouri are deep red states?

No one except the 1% of us who geek out about this kind of stuff actually knows what the fuck is a red state or a blue state.

I realized this in 2012 when people were both calling out my GE predictions for putting Iowa in Obama's column (asking "Have you ever been to Iowa? There are a lot of Republicans there") while others were cheering on election night that WOW Obama won a deep red state like IOWA! (deep red state that has gone Democratic 5 of the past 6 elections nbd) He must be winning big!

Or people who assumed Minnesota was a conservative shithole because one backwoods district (the only MN district that both voted for Romney and is represented by a Republican) elected Michele Bachmann.

Btw no one knows what the fuck the difference is between a senator, representative and probably governor.

I'll give you Marijuana, i'd like to see full taxing it and legalizing it. She is taking a more moderate, change it to schedule 2 and fund research angle. I don't see what you want her to do with Healthcare, she plans to build on Obamacare, which is all that is remotely possible with the current electorate makeup of this country for the next couple of elections.

I also hope she takes advantage of the election and requests that her superpacs do not take any donations from corporations. She really won't need the funds as much this election as others. Thankfully, the direct candidate donations still have caps, and she should push those. Keep in mind when you hear people state that she takes money from "Wall Street" those contributions are from employees, not the corporations themselves.

I forgot about Brainchild in the events of the evening. PLS POST IF UR OK

Also, I was completely wrong about Illinois when I assumed her win margin would be larger, but Hillary won there, regardless. I was sure there were some major over-correction shenanigans happening there.

Just finished re-watching Bill clinton's 2012 DNC speech. One of the GOAT.

That lead me down a rabbit hole to Obama accepting the nomination in 2008. The speech is good and all but the ending just gives me goosebumps. I feel the same now as I did watching it live then. Michelle and the kids come out, Joe and Dr. Biden come out, thw whole families come out, the crowd is bananas, the music is epic. Feelings are nice. Memories are fun.

I could only find that in shit quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UjWKUaaUH8

eight years down the line and that speech STILL gives me goosebumps

(also that huge round of applause for Clinton at ~14 minutes in)

I never said that he would be right about today's results; only that it would be worth keeping an eye out.

Now that the results are in...Tyler is dead to me.

Honestly, this is the first time this election season that I've felt truly depressed about the outcome of a primary day. I really don't like Hillary as a person or a politician, and voting for her will truly be a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils, so seeing her literally trounce Bernie today was gut wrenching.

However, after seeing what happened today, I'm hoping that Bernie either wins the rest of the states by significant margins (will happen in some, but not all), or he threatens to go third party.

If Bernie goes third party, not only will I vote for him, but I will do my damnedest to play my part in burning that witch to the ground.

Might be, but I still don't think Obama took money from privste prisons, where legalizing Marijuana is bad for business.

I hope she does a good job with expanding Obamacare, but until 2018, I don't think she will be able to pass anything through Congress.

Bernie going 3rd party ensures his revolution doesn't happen for the next forty years.

I don't think you're thinking this through brainy.

If he loses the dem pick and goes third Party, he absolutely has my vote. I don't wanna vote Trump. But don't get too aggressive, there's no point in that.

Because it is the only way to get the hat new and legit. That and if my county is anything to go by, people flip parties from dem to repub and did it for primaries; gotta follow that momentum I guess.

I just don't want a hat that might have head lice, you know?

Witches were, afterall, prosecuted and burned after being wrongfully accused of completely fabricated crimes.



So, there's that.
