The behavior of Sanders' online supporters is one of the big stories of the primary IMO. DanTex Nov 2015 #17

Far left = Social Security, unemployment comp, Mediare, medicade, Voting Rights Act--- eridani Nov 2015 #20

And Obamacare. I don't consider those things "far left". DanTex Nov 2015 #24

None of that would have happened without the far left eridani Nov 2015 #31

The main difference between the far left and far right redstateblues Nov 2015 #82

Maybe that's why the far right is far larger? It attracts through action? Hortensis Nov 2015 #174

The big difference is that the far left is far more at its heart threatening to the 1% power... cascadiance Nov 2015 #187

Nobody's afraid of the far left by itself because of its small Hortensis Nov 2015 #211

The SO CALLED "Far Left" WON MAJORITIES of votes on minimum wage referendums in RED states... cascadiance Nov 2015 #213

No they did not. It is literally impossible for the "far left" Hortensis Nov 2015 #214

So, who are you calling "far left" and what makes a person "far left"? cascadiance Nov 2015 #216

Such a good point to think we need definitions. I so agree. Hortensis Nov 2015 #217

there's no such thing as the far left, there's just what's left of the left after you subtract stupidicus Nov 2015 #130

The memes, character assassination and psyops of the HRC campaign are so much more interesting leveymg Nov 2015 #60

Did I mention the conspiracy theories? DanTex Nov 2015 #63

When all arguments fail, there is always the CT smear. Go get 'em. leveymg Nov 2015 #68

You are just trying to make me alert on you Live and Learn Nov 2015 #5

What part of the post do you disagree with? DanTex Nov 2015 #7

Undoubtedly, the parts you agree with. Live and Learn Nov 2015 #11

Representing the people means in policy. mmonk Nov 2015 #9

What policy similarities are there between Hillary and the GOP on economic issues? DanTex Nov 2015 #12

Her economics is smaller government, budget cutting related like most centrists. mmonk Nov 2015 #33

Not true at all. She's for raising taxes and more government investment in infrastructure. DanTex Nov 2015 #38

I said there is a gulf but there are similarities philosophically. mmonk Nov 2015 #44

Given that the actual policy differences are enormous, these supposed philosophical similarities DanTex Nov 2015 #46

Not imagined at all. mmonk Nov 2015 #54

Empty rhetoric. Look at policy. There's a huge gulf between her and the GOP. DanTex Nov 2015 #71

You're wrong about all of those. DanTex Nov 2015 #59

Well said Gman Nov 2015 #13

Lol, you are so desperate it cracks me up. Silly post. Nt Logical Nov 2015 #16

Most striking is Ssnders' fans want him to be what he is not Gman Nov 2015 #19

Yup, that's also true. We won't get to see it, but if Sanders became president, it wouldn't DanTex Nov 2015 #21

They would start calling him a neo-socialist redstateblues Nov 2015 #89

And should his backers sit out next election ejbr Nov 2015 #192

most striking to me is that it is very hard to find anything 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #162

I have a lot of respect for him Gman Nov 2015 #181

yeah I get that but 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #190

Bush and Cheney are responsible for the Iraq War. DanTex Nov 2015 #48

Hilary voted for the war, knowing full well that Iraq had no WMD nor ties KingCharlemagne Nov 2015 #51

You don't go on the floor of Congress to sell the war and then not take responsibility for it. Dawgs Nov 2015 #69

"...But I cast it with CONVICTION." She's either a liar, or she's incompetent. Not POTUS material. AzDar Nov 2015 #90

Results of the Alert alcibiades_mystery Nov 2015 #67

The person who voted to hide this should be banned from this site. eom MohRokTah Nov 2015 #77

Why don't you just go ahead and call for banning all Sanders supporters? Come on, you KingCharlemagne Nov 2015 #78

Many will self ban after Hillary becomes the nominee and Sanders endorses her. MohRokTah Nov 2015 #94

It's pretty clear abuse of the alert system alcibiades_mystery Nov 2015 #83
