(17,997 posts)The election is in 2016. What happened in 2000 can't happen now. I mean, it's not like a million people weren't just removed from the voting registrations in multiple States with a phony system of matching names. Or like women and minorities are being disenfranchised after the dismantling of the VRA. And come on, SCOTUS wouldn't do anything like stop counting votes, votes that already show a clear winner but ignore the ones that don't fit their agenda.
He won't run as anything but a Democrat

(5,787 posts)If Hillary is not going to make a massive turn to the left and represent the liberal wing of the Democratic Party then I say Run Bernie Run. And if runs as a 3rd party candidate because Hillary refuses to represent the liberal wing of the Democratic Party then I will vote for him as will millions of other liberals.
