I hope you guys aren't actually voting for Bernie "reddit" Sanders

I like what he says, helping people out is good right? But we can't just keep giving shit away, and I feel he'd totally flop in International affairs. He's seems like he's got no spine tbh

I mean personally I take his actions as demonstrating that he has quite a bit of spine (challenging the most economically and politically powerful people in the nation), but that aside it seems that the rest of the world sees him as a potential world leader.

In what way? If you look at the what's going on in Syria with Russia, diplomacy isn't doing much.

well democrats almost always suck at foreign policy so.....

Yes, I'm sure Ben Carson would be great at fixing international problems.

He'd need to stop dosing up on drugs first, of course.

To be honest I'm not really sure personally what the best approach to take with that conflict is, however I'm also not sure what mention of it has to do with determining whether or not Sanders has a spine, relative to either domestic or foreign issues.

Somehow I think structuring a government and implementing economic policy is a bit more complex than being "awesome".

being smarter than a retard doesn't make you intelligent.

But it does make you better than your leading opposition.

In all likelihood we'll probably get a Clinton vs Bush scenario and political dynasties make me feel gross so I don't know what I'd do with that.

but bush is getting shit on

yeah though dynasties are gross

Not really, when you remove the three front runners that absolutely will not be getting the nomination due to their inability to appeal to anyone other than the base (dead in a general election) he's right behind Rubio. I personally think that the GOP is going to go with what they believe to be the safer pick and give Bush the nomination.

no exaggeration, completely serious:

you could kill the rich and i wouldn't give a fuck

DAS B00T x2 · October 01, 2015, 08:58:03 PM

I don't think they're that great.

I should be above the minimum wage, which I am, but wouldn't be there. Fuck that. I work with explosive petrochemicals. This deserves more than a burgerflipper, but we're already a tight walleted business, so there goes that. I'd probably lose my only subordinate if we have to raise them too.

My tax dollars shouldn't subsidize everyone elses' schooling past high school.

I just want to be taxed less and have a truly free market to consume from. I want more of my own money, and less of the government's hand outs.

Verbatim · October 01, 2015, 09:00:05 PM

$15 minimum wage is excessive, sure

but bernie's not gonna be able to achieve his ideal regardless of whether he assumes office or not

And this is really the whole thing, too--you can't just assume that politicians are going to actually be able to follow through with any of their promises and ideals once they get elected. They're either gonna fail entirely, or have a great deal of them compromised into some more moderate deal.

Everything you find "extreme" about Bernie isn't going to happen even if he gets elected. You have to think about what he'll feasibly be able to get done in four years, and the same goes for all other candidates. Fuck what people say.
