Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
Manners. People have forgotten their manners this election, and everyone is talking like they are on the TV show: Jersey Shore.
Damn I miss that show.. esp Snooki .. Sigh~

The word you are looking for is sneaky - for HRC
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
Well, Bernie did way better than expected, considering he never got any exposure in media before Iowa. People don't know about him and compared to Clinton Super Pac Machine, his budget isn't that even big but he still managed to do well. Still you see media portraying Hillary Clinton as the only viable candidate. They are not talking about Sanders much, my parents don't even know who he is but they know Hillary is running for president.
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
Everyone knows sanders. His campaign slogan "Feeling the bern" is everywhere and I'm in republican-only terrirotory where they lynch democrats.

Everyone who has Internet knows Sanders. It was reported in CNN that Bernie got a minute fraction of air time as the other candidates. A very minute.
He is changing that with his competitive performance
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
I know people that would vote bernie or not at all.
Southie, are you one of them? We can blame you for electing Trump ! :D
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?

If Hillary wins, I will vote for her in the general. But if Sanders wins, and Hillary pulls some stunts with Superdelegates, I will write in Sanders
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
Donald Trump.
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
Hillary is certainly going to win in South Carolina, the only question is by how much of a margin. If she wins by a huge margin, then it will definitely be hard for Bernie to come back. Bernie is more or less concentrating on Super Tuesday where he does have a chance of winning a few states.
I like his stance on big banks and wall street, but his plans of universal healthcare and free college are unrealistic and will not fly. The idea of universal healthcare is great, but in reality it doesnt work. Far too many people in US are too unhealthy and like a poster mentioned that the wait in Canada can be in weeks for a service, it will be much worse in US with a population 10 times the size of Canada.

I think it'll be hillary v/s Trump in the end. And it'll be a huge challenge for democrats to mobilize Bernie's fans in their favor cuz right now they are acting childish with "bernie or no one" slogans. Its silly cuz if they dont vote, it wont be too hard for Trump to storm over and that'll be the start of a dangerous era.

Still struggling with the universal healthcare logic. Of course there may be some inconveniences to those who already have healthcare in order to accommodate those who dont.
Re free education I agree. Mainly because it will NOT help those who are indiscriminately incarcerated. It will end up helping middle class while leaving those at very bottom behind. He needs to address leveling playing field - ensure minorities are not locked up just because, improve quality of public schools. And provide interest free loans for college
Bernie's indifference to blacks is coming back to bite him.

I think it will be Bernie vs Trump. The Dems who can't Hillary's lies are the backbone of the party. We don't need another Rethug lite
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
Well, aren't you acting a bit childish.. :p
The way she has the superdelegates (obama was like her in 2008), it seems like you would sit home than vote for hillary. If you are in a state like california then it might not matter.
As far as free education, I don't think that you should offer free education for philosophy, horticulture or heck, psychology among many other majors. A single payer system would be implemented at the state and local level, but what I don't get is where are these voters when congressional elections are held especially midterms? I work in a republican precinct and boy, do they always come out to vote. Did the hippies that support Bernie not take US govt class in high school and know that it is "the Congress" that passes laws, not Presidents who rule by decree. Sure, you can do recess appointments and some changes to laws, but they are struck down by Congress if they wish and the SCOTUS would side with them. I see the young supporters of Bernie as a bunch of idealized idiots; I know as I was like them too just coming into adulthood.
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
So the supporters of Bernie are idiots while the supporters of Hillary are pragmatic? Makes no sense. Sanders ahas better chance against Rethugs.
The Superdelegates will turn towards Bernie as they see the race turn. It is a tie at 51 51 for delegates. In case u were paying attention to media as opposed to facts on the ground
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?
Superdelegates are heavily tilted towards Clinton and thats exactly why she has more chance.
Re: US Primary elections: Who are you rooting for?
This is the most asinine logic I have encountered. Of course the Superdelegates are tiled heavily towards Hillary. She is establishment. Why bother to have a race based on that logic.
Right now delegate count tied. Nevada was supposed to be comfortably for hillary. Ended up close. Bernie is closing the gap. The Superdelegates will change tune once bernierie establishes leadership. He will beat her fair and square. And supedledelegates will fall in line

I never called you that but thanks for proving one yourself.
I am a skeptic and to tell the truth, I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 not that my vote eventually mattered. I know many people who have done the reverse, but have you considered the fact that perhaps GOPers are getting into democratic primaries to prop up Sanders?
Sanders does very good "feel good" speeches, but comes short on providing details and in fact, "facts" show that his education and free healthcare plans in the current scenario would lead to huge deficits. It won't get passed in a republican Congress anyway, so why are "progressives" like you sending in democrats to Congress if you are this majority of America so that we can negotiate on medicare prices and reduce the defence budget? It is not Bernie or Prez Bern who can pass budges, BUT THE CONGRESS>>>

Re: US Primary elections: Who are you routing for?

Here is your earlier post to which I responded
"I see the young supporters of Bernie as a bunch of idealized idiots;"
My response - "so the supporters of Sanders are idiots and Hillary supporters pragmatic?"
And you respond with "I never called you that but thanks for proving one yourself"
Clearly, from the above exchange, I didn't claim you called ME an idiot. So your statement is irrelevant. (For a person calling another an idiot, you should check the poor grammar in that sentence)
Why make it personal? I didn't for a second take your statement re idiot to be directed at me PERSONNALLY. Because it is NOT about you or me. You did call Sanders supporters.idiots. I questioned that. To which you provide this gem of a response.
Who is the idiot here?
My suggestion - keep it about the candidates. It is ok to call supporters of XYZ idiots. And it is ok for said supporters to question such calls that they may deem idiotic.
But don't get personal. It has bad outcomes.
Cheers
