IF Clinton is nominated.

The more I read about her, the more I am convinced that Bernie is the only viable choice of ANY candidates.

Someone put up a recent post showing Clinton's long association with the Bush Family Evil Empire.. Going back to the 80s.

If it's Clinton/Bush - more of the same, so nothing worth voting for.

Neither of them will be nominated. That's for sure. nt onehandle Jul 2015 #1

You have at least four Bernie bashing threads this morning. He must be doing better than I thought. Snotcicles Jul 2015 #3

A whole 4? Omg!!! Sheepshank Jul 2015 #49

Good lord...weren't you one of those complaining about echo chambers/bubbles? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #54

Why the fuck would you want to bring this negativity to the community ? Trajan Jul 2015 #64

Oh dear. Is this rant reserved only for Hillary supporters? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #67

Trash thread. 99Forever Jul 2015 #4

What if she's the nominee? JaneyVee Jul 2015 #8

So what. TM99 Jul 2015 #9

None of which will help from SCOTUS going 7-2 wingnut. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #10

I am an independent, not a Democrat. TM99 Jul 2015 #12

Must be nice to not care about SCOTUS constantly attacking your status. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #23

SCOTUS is but one issue. TM99 Jul 2015 #34

SCOTUS isn't one issue..its ACA, marriage equality, abortion rights, voting rights etc. Sheepshank Jul 2015 #52

It is one branch of our government. TM99 Jul 2015 #55

Sorry, but a 7-2 SCOTUS could unravel it all. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #59

A 7-2 liberal SCOTUS can't be worth more trade deals and more U.S. troops in Mideast wars n/t. Ken Burch Jul 2015 #82

SCOTUS is not just one issue, they rule on many issues. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #58

Please tell me one time a Democrat ever filibustered or offered meaningful resistance vt_native Jul 2015 #77

You have every right to throw away your vote. Or even vote for a Republican. DanTex Jul 2015 #13

Yes, I do. TM99 Jul 2015 #14

I don't know about neo-liberals, but progressives want to see a Democrat in the White House. DanTex Jul 2015 #17

A New Dem is not a Democrat. TM99 Jul 2015 #20

No you're not alone. A lot of people don't vote for Democrats. DanTex Jul 2015 #21

That's absolutely accurate--those Romney voters were in the minority last time around! MADem Jul 2015 #30

Thank you for this. kath Jul 2015 #41

Yes, we do want to see a Democrat in the White House - and his name is Bernie Sanders Man of Distinction Jul 2015 #45

If Bernie wins its not a DEM in the Whitehouse Sheepshank Jul 2015 #66

No. He's running as a Dem. Vermont doesn't have party registration for individuals. cui bono Jul 2015 #83

That was debunked a few days ago Sheepshank Jul 2015 #85

The Vermont Secretary of State says "there is NO party registration in Vermont". cui bono Jul 2015 #86

Can you please give me the link to that? cui bono Jul 2015 #88

The argument postulated and clarified in your link.... Sheepshank Jul 2015 #90

You posted a link of an old Vermont ballot. That has nothing to do with the Dem primary cui bono Jul 2015 #92

The ballot proves that they can register with a party if they so wish Sheepshank Jul 2015 #93

No it does not! I posted the link to the VT SOS page. cui bono Jul 2015 #95

If Hillary is the nominee brer cat Jul 2015 #15

If the media would cover the issues instead of the process or itself, it'd be a national awakening. freshwest Jul 2015 #26

Is that better or worse than being Pat Buchanan?... PoliticAverse Jul 2015 #27

I think the difference is that Bernie Sanders actually says things that normal people hope for. MADem Jul 2015 #28

So...you haven't been listening much. jeff47 Jul 2015 #36

"FCC regulations" .... really? Gee, and I thought, silly me, that it was the local franchising MADem Jul 2015 #61

No, Sanders is sincere - Trump is 100% bullshit Lil Missy Jul 2015 #40

Equating Sanders with Trump is inappropriate only so far as equaing Clinton with Bush. libdem4life Jul 2015 #46

It would make more sense to compare the 2 front runners, particularly since they are a lot closer corkhead Jul 2015 #51
