Re: Bernie supporters not voting for Hilary.

Anyone who thinks Clinton and Trump are not functionally different from one another is just an idiot when it comes to politics. Sorry if that quote was from someone I normally like, but he/she is being an ideological nitwit there. Their inclinations for Supreme Court picks by themselves should be e...

Re: Bernie supporters not voting for Hilary.

This thread is crazy. I know we joke about how both sides are basically the same, but they really aren't literally the same. The GOP is completely nuts. Hilary obviously isn't great, but a whole lot of people don't have the luxury of voting strictly on principle. See, this is the issue I have with ...

Re: Bernie supporters not voting for Hilary.

Thanks. Speaking as an outsider, her support for war is the main thing that bothers me. But she also seems to be someone who is willing to learn and change her views over time - not necessarily just to win votes - which is far more than can be said about Trump. I've also seen Sanders supporters tal...

Re: Bernie supporters not voting for Hilary.

I have no doubt that 99.99% of politicians are vastly different behind the scenes compared to what they present as their public persona. However, trying to paint a vague positive picture of Clinton by interviewing individuals who presumably are working in politics isn't very convincing to me. No sta...

The simple rule to follow here is, if you have any reason to suspect that the consent isn't genuine and clear, then don't fuck the person. This provides both for real world ambiguity as well as a non-harmful way to respond to it.
