The Onion is famous for calling out bullshit on the news, but theyve never called it out quite so literally before. Check out this breaking news report on some bullshit.
Bernie Sanders is ramping up his efforts in the presidential race despite long odds, while sharpening his criticisms of a Democratic Party increasingly focused on the general election with Hillary Clinton as their presumptive nominee.
Here are the arguments for and against Sanders staying in the race.
FOR:
1. Probably our last chance to hear a public official say single-payer health care for a generation or two.
2. Nation can pretend it might actually do something about corporate influence on politics, becoming embroiled in imprudent wars, and income inequality for few more weeks.
AGAINST:
1. Staying in forces Clinton to waste time and energy learning to campaign against someone with clear principles and political stances.
2. Would allow Clinton to focus on fucking up general election campaign.
3. Best to just squash Americans belief they can actually make a difference in the political system now before it gets too far out of hand.
