we survived 8 years with a black president and the world didn't end.
maybe the best thing to happen if H. Clinton becomes president would be if Rush Limbaugh and the Koch Bros.  finally jumped off a cliff and made the world a better place. That would be freaking awesome.


If the jumped off a cliff the world would indeed be better off.

The real question is - does it really matter? As long as the Republicans don't get in the result will be much the same... and even if they do I can't imagine things will change a huge amount.

Jealousy will be the downfall of man.

Kill (pick genius) because he's smarter than me.

Consider they mostly employ armies of lawyers who work around the clock to prevent poor people from having health care, work around the clock to deny climate science, and work around the clock to prevent the labor movement from advancing so effectively that the top 1% now control 99% of the wealth in America.

So they're rich employers, of the army of Satan.

If anybody leads the Flat Earth Society, it is them.

Rush Limbaugh, with his soft, shitty body, is merely a cheerleader and entertainer...his death would just be icing on the cake.

Doesn't surprise me that you'd endorse their fascist tendencies. I'm not saying this derogatorily.

I think it depends on how religious the republican candidate is. The more religious he is the more likely Hillary will win.

I am looking forward to our Democratic primary. One of my favorite people is running, Bernie Sanders, and it is about time somebody from the Left is actually going to mix it up.

Interesting fact: Bernie Sanders has a giant sword hanging in his office, given to him by Ross Perot, with the words inscribed: "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never,".

He is one of the very few on the Left who emphasizes the white working class, he won't let social issues distract from our real economic problems, and he has steadfastly voted against gun control, including voting against the largest gun control law of our (my) time, the Brady Bill signed into law by Ronald Reagan. Her has a great record of governing before becoming a senator.

He also said he will run as a Democrat (he is our only Socialist in Congress) as to not be a spoiler in the election and so he won't be completely ignored when the times comes.

Skinned turns to a self professed socialist to fix our "real economic problems". Its a bad joke.

You're too tied up in empty class warfare rhetoric to see that hes part of the problem.
Hes one of the very least capable members of congress regarding his ability to help the economy.
He has this deluded dream that if we just raise taxes a bunch and have enough bailouts and stimulus spending, jack up the minimum wage and hand out enough "free" stuff it will solve everything. Its a foolish nightmare.

He has some good stances on civil liberties and war, but thats not enough.

He is part of the problem? He is in charge of the committee regarding veterans affairs, not any economic post.

It is worth noting that as mayor of Burlington he cleaned up government and made it respectable again, when it was a corrupt mess. As a senator he has won many statewide elections and is loved by a largely working class voter base that he has done right for. Don't get caught up on your poor definition of socialist and look at the man's record and see what he has actually done.

Claiming to be a socialist just means that we should all work together to make it a better place.

Honestly he'd be my #1 candidate as well but there is no way in hell he has a shot.
