Right, that's standard politics that we all know, but everything Bernie is about is lost if he goes with status quo. He's not living in another universe, he's taking a calculated risk and maintaining the same character that has brought him from barely known senator to competing with Clinton for democratic runner for president. And it's been a long game: he's been playing it since the 70's (or he just actually has integrity)

most likley it doesn't really matter... since most likely he's going to lose. so he's being smart by trying to get in good with hillary, because she's probably going to win.

problem for the hillary team is, they can pretend the email thing is no big deal during the primaries all they like, but the republicans aren't going to keep up that narrative during the general election.

and it does matter how true the accusations are... but it also matters how true they seem or how credible they seem. and when there is an actual criminal investigation, yea it looks pretty terrible.

for anyone who thinks it shouldn't matter and they should stick to the issues... i hope you never say a word about trump's bankruptcies... otherwise you are quite simply a hypocrite.

The GOP, BENGHAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The general public, *crickets*

liberals don't care if she eats a baby on live television, she's the anointed one

Chula Vista

As long as she saves the stem cells for research, which of course will piss off the GOP.

she doesn't have to save the stem cells

all she has to do is say "first woman president to eat a baby" and flash one of her robotic attempts to imitate a human smile.

It's been forever, but I seem to remember that by the time of the elections Benghazi was already old news. People love scandal, but only when it's fresh. After that a candidate could be a cannibal, just so long as he hasn't been outed beforehand.

american politics are so painfully fake and predictable

to the right, benghazi will never be old news so long as hillary is running for office

to the left, benghazi was never news in the first place

neither side has the slightest shred of integrity or intellectual honesty

they should all be herded onto trains and sent to camps tbh

Chula Vista

But someone's gonna get elected so it's the lesser of two wicked evils. As stated many times before, I won't vote GOP because of their platforms on religion, women's rights, taxes, and SS/Medicare.

i'm aware of your stance. it is what it is... do you, chula

your vote in the general election is worthless tbh since you live in cali anyway... it literally makes no difference whether you vote or not... that state is going to the dems either way

my personal stance is that the lesser of two evils isn't enough to motivate me to vote

the lesser of two evils rationale is what prompted me to vote for obama in 08. 8 years later and when dems are asked why obama's presidency has been so mediocre and why so little has changed in this country, their response? oh the republicans won't work with us so they stop us from getting **** done.

hey, that might even be true. but what does that tell me, the voter? it tells me that they lack the power to really make any substantive changes. which in turn tells me not to waste my time investing any faith in them. which is why they lost my support.
