I came to the comments to hear theBernie dead-enders whine and wail… I’m pretty disappointed so far.

I’m not surprised… these guys are only out to fatten the bottom line, and will play both sides to do so. They have no ruling ideology other than that.

@Maledictorian

I came to the comments to hear the Bernie dead-enders whine and wail about the assumption that Hillary will be the Democratic nominee. I’m pretty disappointed so far. Get with it, people.

Stein? Johnson?

And when people leave a candidate they often go undecided first. They could still end up with Hillary.

You need to troll more. Here, I’ll get you started.

For the record, I believe that people who prefer Sanders to Clinton are progressives. People who prefer Trump to Clinton are morons.

[Snowlark]

And people undecided between Sanders and Trump are confusing. And confused. And angry. Mostly angry.

If Trump makes it to Election Day, and doesn’t lose worse than Goldwater did in 1964, there’s something wrong with this country. Either in the climate of opinion, or vote suppression, or both.

Not that there isn’t already something deeply wrong with the USA, but if Trump is less than creamed, trounced, and pwned, then the country is in as bad shape as the most pessimistic of us think, and then some.

I’d say 20-25% of Canadian voters are authoritarians; those are the numbers that the Reform party used to pull in.

There is a difference between authoritarians and actively malicious people. Authoritarians can be led for good or evil. I still suspect that less than 15% of the population is definitely malicious, partly because that’s the UKIP vote in the UK; non-malicious authoritarians would tend to vote either conservative or Blairite Labour, but you actually need malice towards other people to vote UKIP.

Upvoted, but your remark is an insult to morons. People with low IQs can’t help it. We have someone with a low IQ in our town; he works at the refuse centre so he has a paid job, he is involved in charity work and he always gets applause when he turns up at the carnival. It takes him a long time to learn anything but once he has learnt it, it sticks.
If it was explained to him, and he had a vote, I’m sure he would vote Sanders.

She’s never even been close to being charged with a crime, by anyone, anywhere. Only in the heads of extreme right-wingnuts are felonies to charge her with. Without their mastubatory fantasies, they wouldn’t even be motivated to get out of bed in the morning.

[lava]

nuthin to whine about - people who supported Clinton over Sanders will get what they deserve.

[lava]

Yeah, true - she’s been persecuted by right-wing-nuts. But on the other hand she managed to set up an illegal mail-server without the help of the GOP, and it would be no surprise if some or all of the primary election shenanigans we just experienced tracks back to her.

Its the outcome of hubris, and a mind-set of I know best over public service. It gets her in trouble, and gives the GOP plenty to muck around with - and plenty to convince people on the fence that she is fishy. This is why she is such a bad choice to be the D. candidate. With Trump to run against why is there even a question about whether or not she can do it?

Alas, the euphemism treadmill.

Alas, the euphemism treadmill.

You need to explain that to me. What euphemism?

@nimelennar

How about we stick him next to Palin. He’ll be able to see his pal Putin from his backyard!

I think even Trump has a better grasp of geography than that.

The words moron, imbecile, and idiot were once used as technical terms for degrees of intellectual disability, as measured by IQ tests. moron was, in fact invented for the purpose, as a bland descriptor. But English has moved on, and now moron has a meaning in the vernacular meaning 'very stupid", and is consequently regarded as offensive when used in it’s original medical or legal context.

Medical professionals adopted other terms, such as retarded, so as be able to to talk about these sorts of things without sounding insulting, and those replaced moron, idiot, and imbecile, in the technical literature, Now "retarded* is used as an insult, and new terms of art have been invented. Stephen Pinker called this linguistic phenomena the “euphemism treadmill”.

And also people who didn’t.

I’m glad that simple human decency is the cause of the drop in Trump’s popularity - his lack of it and its presence in the American public.
