Dude literally said there were less women than men, don't get shit twisted yall fuck. You could say a minority could fill in a spot and bring a certain perspective, but all the same it's just not a woman. People are fine to make observations on a simple fact of men outnumbering women.

Rosario Dawson Thinks Prince’s Ghost Will Help Bernie Win California or Something

http://www.mediaite.com/online/rosa...will-help-bernie-win-california-or-something/

Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders‘ rallies are nothing if not entertaining, especially the senator’s opening acts. Case in point: actress Rosario Dawson, last seen bringing up Monica Lewinsky at a rally in Delaware, and somehow connecting a predicted Bernie Sanders win in the California Democratic primary to the birthday of recently-deceased music legend Prince. To cries of “Down with Hillary!”, Dawson explained that Bernie’s appeal to Republicans, Democrats, and independents meant that they were all going to “vote purple,”

Riiiiiiiight

WHatever he'll be mostly quiet after June 7th. I've reached the point where I agree that people are focusing on his rhetoric too much now.

Aye, it's too late for most any move baring some catastrophic event for the Clinton campaign that would move the needle in his favor. He can say whatever he likes at this point but everyone's already set. It's just a matter of waiting for the convention.

All it'll be now is a couple weeks of shitposting and handwringing then on to the general.
 
Posted this in the OT thread about that instagram Trump ad.

Is there public opinion polling on open relationships? Curious what would happen if they just came out and said that they have an agreement and its really not anyone's business as to how their relationship works in their personal life.

He's had lots of extramarital affairs and it's obvious that she doesn't give a fuck. I wonder if this would diffuse the attacks or if 'murrica isn't ready for an honest talk about sexual desire and the nature of long term relationships.

Yup. Nevertheless, this thread will be filled with people simultaneously calling for party unity (particularly if the convention gets antsy) while nevertheless calling Sanders an asshat and telling his supporters to fuck off.

C'est la vie.

Trump could say he likes farting in babies faces and everyone would parade him as a hero for telling it like it is and saying what everyone else is thinking.

He could pull it off

No, but we're clearly going to have a lot of fun setting up strawmen and setting them ablaze in an orgy of self-righteousness and pomposity.

I brought fireworks, and I'm always up for a good orgy.

I read your response. I don't know what the 'yall fuck' and 'but all the same its just not a woman' parts are supposed to mean. If you could write better so I could understand what you mean, it would probably be helpful. excelsiorlef said he/she was not saying bernie is sexist, so I don't know what would make the gender breakdowns of his nominess interesting, asides from implying that he is sexist. Saying one thing but then implying another is strange.

Americans tremble at the thought of seeing a boob on national television, hell we have trouble getting sexual education into public schools. All this will do is feed into his womanizer persona that just fucks ups already awful unfavorables with women and pump up the people already on board. I can't see it going over any better than a rock would float.

I'm disappointed.

Disappointed that he could find space for Cornel West but not a 2nd woman, a woman of colour preferably

I don't care about GMO labelling. I'm in favour of GMO (with caveats); whether it's labelled or not I don't give a toss about. If people are sufficiently bothered about whether food is GMO or not to read the packaging (who does that?), they'll probably search up details on the internet anyway, it doesn't do anything except provide people who are making a bad decision either way with a few minutes extra time.

Sanders is wrong about alternative medicine. Clinton is also wrong about it, though - she has a long association with alternative medicine practitioners, particularly Mark Hyman. Thankfully, neither of them has made it part of their nomination campaign and so I won't hold it against either of them.

But we need to debate both sides of EVERY issue.

Also both of those links, especially the second one directly addressed what you are talking about.

Does this sound like: I condemn violence but they might get violent so you better listen, to anyone else?

I can't tell without seeing the full quote from him. That was chopped up.

A vast majority of the people against GMOs should just shut up and read a book

And I say that as a liberal environmental science major and tree hugging hippie

agree it would be nice to have more women and poc's in positions of leadership. I wanted a charming old jewish man to be my president but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen

Same. He's literally irrelevant at this point. I mean, do y'all remember (I think Macho) posted that video of the one reporter who still covers Sanders? Sad as shit. Just let the old man yell at the clouds for a few more weeks.

From his perspective though, we can talk. I certainly think him making a few demands, then dropping after getting some before CA, would be good. His message turns to shit when he loses CA, so that's his last chance to buy some goodwill.

The debate is over on GMO, vaccines, chemtrails, acupuncture, and so on.

We do not need to waste time or money on debating or funding bullshit. There is an opportunity cost issue at play. It causes harm.

They don't get the process or history of manipulating plants, it's leagues safer than shit we did in the past which nobody gave a fuck about.

We irradiated plants and seeds to force unknown mutations. Several of which are still in use.

The first one just says he is in favour of GMO labelling. Sure, fine, whatever. As I said, I don't care. I'm in favour of GMO, I know Sanders isn't, but GMO labelling is a pretty low concern as far as obstacles to GMO go. I live in a country which has GMO labelling and simultaneously has a higher proportion of GDP than America invested in GMO development.

The second more or less corroborates what I said: neither has made it part of their presidential run. They're both wrong on the issue, Sanders probably more so, but it isn't a policy position for either. So again, I literally don't care (or I do, but on the scale of concerns I have, it's pretty low).

And for the reference, "every issue has two sides" is a platitude which means "I disagree with you and want to be heard, stop ignoring me". If you're taking that literally, I'll have to make sure I sweep my posts with the literalometer pretty carefully.

Footnote: the literalometer is a figurative device and not an actual machine.

It's a reference to what started the entire chain of messages, Sanders saying "There are two sides to every issue".

Which i'm sick of that misnomer. Mostly thanks to the media adhering to it every possible chance they can.

Forget that, they don't even get the concept that natural doesn't mean good and not natural doesn't mean bad.

I could give you opium and tell you it's a natural painkiller, far better than those evil synthetic pills your doctor gives you but its the same shit

Bernie really thinks Hillary is a Republican or some shit.

There are very few "two sides" issues between Hillary and Bernie. This is a "we agree on the destination but not the route" issue. And frankly I'm not too comfortable with Hilary conceding too much on Bernie's routes...seeing as most of them go through a desert, a brier patch, hell fire, and right into a brick wall.

Yeah, that phrase has lost all meaning (not that it really had any).
At one point I fell into that wedge of dirt, but I never went all that deep into the rabbit hole.

Herbal supplements kinda fall into the same trap, if they were medicine they would be extracted and turned into a product like aspirin. Which would then be regulated and studied under scrutiny of science.

I will however say that since the supplement market is basically the wild west, we may be inadvertently ignoring effective treatments using some of them, since there is little incentive to take the step to turn them into a proper treatment. Another reason why the industry should have a modicum of regulation, to provide that incentive to take the product to the highly regulated step.
 
Speaking of GMOs I had a banana today which was like 65-70% black on the outside. I was certain it was a spoiled mess inside. I peeled it anyway and to my surprise the actual fruit itself was pristine save for one small spot...is this GMO's doing? If so, I'm all for it.
