Why (or why not) to vote for Bernie Sanders

I suppose it could be even more amusing in a sick kind of way than it was with Bush the Lesser, to have a president who says jawdropping things like the turd that Trumpadump’s little mouth excreted this morning.

When asked who his foreign policy advisor would be, the Short-fingered One said:

“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things.”

So last night I heard something that could put Bernie back in the running, and I’m wondering how much credence to give it…

Supposedly, Clinton will face criminal charges in a month or so, which at the very least will be quite a bad look… Anyone got any insight on that?

Pray tell, whence did you hear of such news?

'Cause that could be a game changer.

It was Australian news interviewing some right-wing American pundit of some description. Before you write it off completely, bear in mind that our news (or at least our ABC news) isn’t likely to bother with the more incredible end of the spectrum of American commentators…

Bummer. I was hoping it was a more credible source than a pundit. But since it was on ABC, you’re suggesting there’s a possibility that this isn’t punditry smoke-blowing? (ABC is like BBC in the UK or CBC in Canada, ie - public owned?)

Yeah, it’s a generally credible news outlet. Minimal likelihood of airing complete balderdash, but of course it’s possible.

I was kinda hoping for some Americans to pipe up and go, oh yeah, we totally forgot about that or something :unamused:

I don’t think we’ve forgotten, but it seems much like she’d be prosecuted only in some right-winger’s wet dream.

Honestly, right now the pro-Hillary people telling everyone to just fall in line are pissing me off more than Trump supporters. Probably because I can’t even process the idea that anyone would vote for Trump, and because I do my best to avoid contact with that level of crazy.

But still.

I’m not voting for her, and am even further turned off by this shit. My second choice is Stein. I don’t want to watch the world burn, but I just can’t bring myself to vote for a Wall Streets favoritist candidate since Bush the Lesser.

Right? It’s not like Mrs Clinton is going to share with us any of the golden stacks from the golden sacks she got from Goldman Sachs.

I’m sick of family dynasties. Aren’t we the country that dumped tea in a harbor because we were already sick back then of dynastic abuse?
