May 2016

It was one of the reasons that my wife and I made the choice to not have any children. We've made plenty of other lifestyle choices to try and help the planet and we realized that our small effort wasn't going to do too much to stem the tide so we came to the conclusion that it wasn't fair to the planet and it wasn't fair to whatever new person that we would potentially create.

From Robert Reich's Facebook Page [View all] Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 OP

#2 is just not going to happen. Too many things. I can't bring myself to go there onecaliberal May 2016 #1

Let me say, as a Clinton supporter, that if Bernie is nominated I'll vote for him Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #3

He's an honorable person. What's not to support. Same can't be said for her. onecaliberal May 2016 #5

The alternative is Donald Trump Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #8

She can't beat trump. I don't understand how folks like you can see the polls, for months onecaliberal May 2016 #9

Trump is scary and is the reason to defeat her now; or Trump will defeat her later. lagomorph777 May 2016 #11

Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton has more votes and pledged delegates Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #12

it might be math but, it dang sure ain't simple. Those numbers represent people and people Hiraeth May 2016 #19

No - people are generally pretty simple Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #23

one person might be simple but, people together create a myriad complicated juxtaposition. Hiraeth May 2016 #24

The person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it! Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #25

see. the word dangerous is complicated and you know it. If not then governing would be simple. Hiraeth May 2016 #27

ONLY because millions of independents were locked out of the process, please stop acting like onecaliberal May 2016 #33

Please stop acting like its hard to become a Democrat Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #34

Thank you for that, Algernon. My gods, Reality. What a difficult concept. Hekate May 2016 #39

You are more than welcome Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #41

My post is the same old, that's rich.... Stop acting like the majority of Americans onecaliberal May 2016 #45

If you don't trust Democrats, why be on Democratic Underground? Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #48

You don't know me, you have no idea how old I am or how many years I have voted straight ticket dem, onecaliberal May 2016 #53

I'll respond anyway Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #56

Polls mean nothing now. "She can't beat Trump" has no substance. It's BS. Also... themaguffin May 2016 #42

I got some cheese to go with your whine. onecaliberal May 2016 #46

Oh bless your heart, you wanted to use that line so bad, relevance be damned. themaguffin May 2016 #59

Maybe. merrily May 2016 #26

Maybe you can't say the same for her but I can. She is an honorable person as much as Bernie is. Jitter65 May 2016 #15

He is political. DUH. He is a politician. Hell no, Hillary is not in the same class with Bernie. merrily May 2016 #30

It doesn't mean he's all that different either. Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #35

He is, unless you fall for the Rovian crap, but thanks for your opinion. merrily May 2016 #37

Why is it always that Hillary supporters are suckers? Some of us just like Hillary better. Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #43

Um, my post was about whether Sanders was different from Hillary. merrily May 2016 #44

Um they are both career politicians Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #47

Trump supporter then. baldguy May 2016 #4

look in the mirror. Hiraeth May 2016 #17

I'm supporting the Democratic Party nominee against Trump. Can you say the same? baldguy May 2016 #18

we don't yet have a nominee. and if you are supporting the nominee then stands to reason Hiraeth May 2016 #20

I don't care who the nominee is, I'm voting for 'em. Can you say the same? baldguy May 2016 #21

then retract your previous comment to a fellow DUer. NOT playing your ugly game. Hiraeth May 2016 #22

So, I'm guessing you're a Trump supporter too, huh? baldguy May 2016 #55

That does not stand to reason and you know it. Hiraeth May 2016 #58

Reich has been wrong about a lot of things recently, but this deserves applause!!!! Hoyt May 2016 #2

Deep down, he knows No. 2 ain't happenin' but I'm sure he's saying it to make nice ThePhilosopher04 May 2016 #6

If he admitted that he knew that No. 2 is impossible, DookDook May 2016 #7

She can't win us over. onecaliberal May 2016 #10

I agree. DookDook May 2016 #16

You'll be supporting it if you don't vote for the Dem nominee CorkySt.Clair May 2016 #36

This feels less and less like an election as we go along. Are we all feeling properly manipulated? Todays_Illusion May 2016 #13

All elections are like that to lesser or greater extents Algernon Moncrieff May 2016 #14

Reich makes good points Dem2 May 2016 #28
