I post the truth. The world would be a better place if conservatives and fundamentalists were violently purged from it so the world could move on. That's not an opinion, it's evidence supported reality backed by math.

who gets to define what a 'conservative' and a 'fundamentalist' is? you? your 'values' resulted in like 60-100MM humans killed violent purges last century alone

Of course I know what a New Republican is. A deranged capitalist who exists on anger and conspiracy theories.

Everyone on that stage except Sanders is a moderate Bush-era Republican.

Trump lied about the Hillary email story, but it was still a legitimate issue to criticize her on.

Personally, I don't care that much when friends and relatives of powerful people get cush jobs they aren't qualified for. But the unwashed masses feel differently. This is a weakness for Biden, and we live in a world where there's moronic voters who don't follow politics closely who will see Trump and Biden arguing back and forth on corruption, and come to the conclusion that they're both corrupt.

Who knows, maybe it won't hurt Biden as much as I think. But it's worth worrying about.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Thursday the Russians are currently "grooming" a Democrat running in the presidential primary to run as a third-party candidate and champion their interests.

The comment appears to be directed at Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has been accused of being cozy with Russia in the past.
"I'm not making any predictions, but I think they've got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate," Clinton said, speaking on a podcast with former Obama adviser David Plouffe. "She's the favorite of the Russians."
Clinton never names Gabbard, but there are only five women running for President -- Gabbard, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and author Marianne Williamson -- and none of the other woman have been accused of being boosted by Russia.
Clinton did not provide proof about how Russia is "grooming" Gabbard. She and her team pointed to allegations that Russian news and propaganda sites often report on Gabbard's campaign and that moments in Gabbard's campaign have been reportedly amplified by trolls and bots on Twitter with ties to Russia. Gabbard has denied those allegations.
"They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far," Clinton said.
Clinton's team also noted that some of Gabbard's foreign policy views align closely with Russian interests.
Gabbard responded on Twitter Friday afternoon to Clinton's comments.
"Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain," she tweeted.
"From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation," she added. "We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose."
