The majority of Americans voting for Hillary Clinton during the democratic primary nomination process, is the reason why we have reached the inevitable conclusion that Hillary Clinton will be the democratic presidential nominee.
Oh, so then, itās this thread which is unnecessary.

Yet the point remains that Biden and Brock made possible the appointment of one of the worst justices in history. If this is representative of Clintonās judgment, Iām not sure how much worse Trumpās nominees would be.

Well, letās put a little bit of a finer point on it. Biden and Brock made possible the appointment of on the the worst justices in history by attacking someone he sexually harassed.

āI am not a sexistā
Iām looking for some pithy opposite to āItās not the band I hate, itās their fans,ā to express how itās not so much that I like anything about Clinton as it is that I hate a lot of the people who donāt like Clinton, and might like to see her elected for pure schadenfreude.

Iād really hate to get behind her for that reason, but itās about the only one that makes sense to me.

Maybe Thatās part of why I donāt feel like compromising this time around. I voted for Obama, even though he partnered with that rat F**k. Iām done with this crap.

I wouldnāt say Iām behind her (since Iām not USian is doesnāt matter that much anyway) but at least it will give me something to feel good about if she wins.
Really, Iāve been so happy about Cruz losing, about Bush losing, about Kasich losingā¦ after the November election when another person loses, canāt America find a way to have a December election where the last person loses as well?

I thought about this last night, and the idea occurred to me that whoever wrote it was getting off on it. Like heās a little too focused on what sexual acts Hilary Clinton has performed. You also feel there is a companion letter that starts, āI never thought this would happen to me, butā¦ā

Your insufficient three point plan would provide unlimited access, needed cover and a green light for prospective foreign and domestic terrorists to reak havoc on the American homeland.
Great endorsement for Hillary today from the L.A. Times editorial board.
Compared to the intoxicating altruism of the Sandersā campaign, Clintonās candidacy might seem unexciting. But nominating a candidate for president is, or ought to be, serious business. As Obama himself likely would admit after almost eight years in the White House, there is more to being president than grand promises, whether they are about āhope and changeā or a political revolution. We admire Bernie Sandersā passion for progress and equality, but our endorsement goes to the candidate who is more likely to translate ideals into action.
Thank your for replying in such detail so that I could rebut your points effectively.
Tell me: how would it do so?
For the first point, the CIA and NSA have failed to show a single instance where their blanket warrantless surveillance has prevented a terror attack; they missed the Boston Marathon attack. If they were limiting their manpower to searching only the people they were constitutionally allowed to, theyād have the resources to analyse and act on all of the information they have.
For the second point, the TSA [fails to catch 95%] (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/investigation-breaches-us-airports-allowed-weapons-through-n367851) of the stuff theyāre supposed to be looking for. Theyāre providing security theatre, not security. Air Marshalls, on the other hand, could take down a terrorist on a plane, since the TSA obviously isnāt going to catch them.
And as for the third point, we gave guns to the Taliban to fight the Soviets, they let Al Qaeda grow under their wing. We gave guns to ISIS to fight Al-Assad; now theyāre gaining power and trying to strike at American soil. Maybe taking a step back and not giving guns to our next enemy would be a good idea.

I support the security measures that are in place now to protect America. There has been no major 911 type terrorist attack on American soil (where thousands of lives have been lost or forever altered), since the current security measures have been in place.
I support air marshalls, but air marshalls alone will not be sufficient to stop a terrorist from blowing up a plane in the air with a bomb. The Middle East is not the only place on Earth where terrorists are being trained and recruited.

āYouāll get short-term chaos for a couple of decades as the area sorts itself out, but when it does, it will be stronger for having done so on its own.ā
Short term chaos for a ācouple of decadesā is not short term chaos.
Having the authority and means to monitor all known communication mediums is critical, because no one knows what communication medium a resolute and committed domestic or foreign terrorist will use to communicate, plan and execute a major 911 type terrorist attack.
In 2016 you cannot have domestic and foreign terrorists using unknown and unsuspecting recruits, to easily and simply use a computer or cell phone, to communicate, plan and execute a major 911 type terrorist attack.
There is really no such thing as total privacy anyway when using social media, cell phones or almost any electronic communication medium. I donāt have anything to hide- nor am I doing anything illegal. I have no problem with the government trying to protect the American homeland by being proactive and monitoring my communication devices or anyone elseās for terrorist activity
I donāt think some people realize how difficult and daunting a task it is, in a open society like America, for federal, state and local law enforcement officials to protect the American homeland.
Mock all you want, but Iām sure that āHillary Clinton is a SLUTā will be uppermost on the minds of at least one Trump voter this fall.

Regular internet users (and Redditors, in particular) are disproportionately white, young, male, city-dwelling, and liberalāall categories which support Sanders more than the Democratic Party at large. Demographically speaking, Sanders is just about the perfect viral candidate. Unfortunately, shares and retweets are not votes. ^
You could object that such an unprecedented victory would surely be a sign from God-- and who are we to deny the promise of utopia?
Wow, so you support the transformation of the US into a police state. I would not have predicted this from your other posts! If youāre so afraid of bogeymen, why not just move to China? Or vote for Trump?
