57.79 Klout score as of today. This is the only place I get political. I am tired of the ugly intramural wars. I will quietly go about my business and support/vote for Hillary.

A question for the HRC group [View all] Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 OP
I think jehop61 May 2016 #1
I'm just looking to see where, if anywhere, there could be common ground. Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #10
Almost all of the ground is already common. The differences are overblown by DU Sanders supporters. TwilightZone May 2016 #12
And that point about voting together nearly all the time needs to be emphasized Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #18
Most people already know. It's the ones who are being intentionally obtuse that don't. TwilightZone May 2016 #21
A lot of it is tone Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #23
Their outrage is highly selective, which makes it difficult to take them seriously TwilightZone May 2016 #29
This, so much this. LisaM May 2016 #61
Me too sarae May 2016 #88
They're also not really "proposals" LisaM May 2016 #90

I think some of these people don't really know republicans and conservatives all american girl May 2016 #97
Aww, thanks! Same to you! LisaM May 2016 #100

Those types will never go for Hillary nini May 2016 #2
Let me cite Cap & Trade as an example Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #16

Losers don't set the agenda, and blackmail isn't terribly becoming TwilightZone May 2016 #4
Thank you, Twilight. Well put. Cha May 2016 #6
Objectively, his supporters are enthusiastic Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #20
Hillary has received more votes than Sanders or Trump. The enthusiasm gap is a myth TwilightZone May 2016 #22
I read RCP Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #26
"I'm just saying his supporters are pretty fired up. " TwilightZone May 2016 #32
Fair point Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #44
Sure, young people buy t-shirts, but they don't reliably turn out to vote. procon May 2016 #48

It sure meant nothing in New York where Hillary won all 3 districts where BS Cha May 2016 #138
Many of these young people didn't even make the effort to register and vote for Bernie. Koinos May 2016 #66
True dat... give us some love! nt procon May 2016 #67
Not free college. But something free would be good. Koinos May 2016 #68
Free community college, affordable four year colleges - yes! LisaM May 2016 #77
Yeah, but I don't need dat school any more. And what counts is me, me, me. Koinos May 2016 #82
It mystifies me why corporate planners aren't hooking up with procon May 2016 #83
I know. I don't get it either. LisaM May 2016 #89
Idealism often confuses vocation and avocation. procon May 2016 #91
Yard signs and bumper stickers aren't votes, though... BobbyDrake May 2016 #53
And if they had spent less on negative internet campaigning, and more on GOTV. Koinos May 2016 #70

You've made me laugh twice in the same thread. LisaM May 2016 #95
And, yet, they think the harrassment is helping. Go figure. TwilightZone May 2016 #98
I agree! LAS14 May 2016 #113
With all due respect... yallerdawg May 2016 #5

"a pledge to overturn Citizens United" - damn, some of these people are clueless TwilightZone May 2016 #11
They're burnie washed. Cha May 2016 #14
Doesn't Sanders want to get rid of ACA and isn't really into gun reform? caquillo May 2016 #15
On the ACA, he'll just wave his magic finger, er, wand, and single-payer will appear. TwilightZone May 2016 #19
Too many misunderstandings in this list. I will start with items that are out of place. Koinos May 2016 #24
Both candidates should say that Citizens United is a SCOTUS litmus test Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #28
They already have. TwilightZone May 2016 #33

I want to reempasize that I'm not hating on the poster Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #40

Anyone bringing up the speeches as a condition for their vote is unserious. BobbyDrake May 2016 #51

As for the speech transcripts, she is going to use it as leverage with the Trump Her Sister May 2016 #87
As she's already noted, he more than likely has much more to worry about than she does. TwilightZone May 2016 #92
You get nothing! You LOSE! Good day, sir! MirrorAshes May 2016 #96
I would love for the discussion to begin ... 1StrongBlackMan May 2016 #103

Seektruth was asked by me for conditions. I saw them as looking pretty common of what I'd seen from Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #117
I am against any concessions texstad79 May 2016 #110
Since when does the supporter of the losing candidate get to dictate terms? CajunBlazer May 2016 #116
The candidates traditionally get some kind of concession. The supporters? Nah. TwilightZone May 2016 #119
