"Bernie and Trump will most likely keep us out of all the other bullshit though"
Trump is a fraud, and will go along with whatever the MIC wants, as will neocon Hillary.
Bernie is authentic, but NSA/CIA/MIC do whatever they want, out of control of civilians.
I'll vote for Clinton in the general since I don't want to give the teabagger house a president who is going to sign all their retarded shit, which Cruz will do since he aligns almost exactly with them and which Trump will do under pressure from his party and since he aligns a lot with them on taxes. I really don't like Clinton or her piece of shit husband, but short of adopting a new constitution the two party system is here to stay and you gotta pick the less bad option.
Youre basically trading a possible veto here or there for 4 to 8 more years of gridlock and partisan politics, more state sanctioned war, more lying and shilling for Wall Street, no campaign finance changes, and the unabated destruction of american manufacturing.
Trump or Hillary, were both fucked, you can take her, Ill take him.

Everything you like from Trump will get blocked by a Republican congress, just like it would for Sanders. So you're basically choosing between someone who will veto and fight Congress' most backward conservative legislation or someone who will acquiesce or even encourage that legislation. While also spewing absolute filth from the most watched pulpit in the world.
Bernie will tell you the same if and when he steps out of the race. Hopefully you and the rest of his supporters will listen to him.
Trump is a businessman. I think he's acting like a racist, obnoxious lunatic because it's good for business among GOP voters. That's how he'll win the nomination. I wouldn't be surprised if he toned down/retracted a lot of the crazy things he's said in the general election. He can just rely on attacking Shillary's disgusting persona instead of needing to rely on saying extravagant shit.

4 to 8 more years of status quo is a lot better than 4 years of the teabagger house getting everything they want signed by the president into law.

How can you fervently support someone like Bernie Sanders while claiming that you'll vote for someone who is basically the opposite of everything he stands for?
Baby syndrome. Bernie supporters are too entitled.
There is no circumstances where Bernie compares to Trump in the least. None
Trump is running a campaign on 100% lies. He talks the talk. He won't touch the banks. He won't disrupt the establishment. Etc
Ylu are s true idiot if you buy any of whst trump says. Bernie will at least try to stop the banks. The other one is just saying it for votes.
The SoZa and fkla Bernie type supporters are few and in between though so that's good.
You will defeinitely have the never Hillary crowd but most of Bernie supporters will be voting for Hillary once Bernie tells them to get behind her. And the fact that Trump will be the nominee on the other side will only make that choice easier.
Most of my friends are just as much as Bernie supporters like some of you guys but they will vote Hillary over Trump, no question.

New York’s Mayor Responds as Brooklyn Voter Purge Doubles to 126,000
Source: U.S. Uncut
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is demanding an explanation from the city’s Board of Elections after the purge of registered Democrats in Brooklyn has doubled from 63,000 to 126,000.
As US Uncut previously reported, Kings County, where Brooklyn is located, has seen a 7 percent drop in the number of registered Democratic voters between November 2015 and April 2016. But a new investigation by WNYC has revealed that the New York City Board of Elections actually purged 126,000 voters in that time period — a 14 percent drop in 5 months. Now, Mayor de Blasio is demanding to know why there was such a precipitous drop in registered voters just before the primary.
“This number surprises me,” de Blasio told WNYC. “I admit that Brooklyn has had a lot of transient population – that’s obvious. Lot of people moving in, lot of people moving out. That might account for some of it. But I’m confused since so many people have moved in, that the number would move that much in the negative direction.”
Kings County was just one of seven counties, out of a total of 63, where the number of registered Democrats fell, while registration increased in all other 56 counties. This is particularly odd, since Brooklyn — the home of Bernie Sanders, as well as the home of Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters — is a hotbed of political activity.

Americans' memory is about 15 minutes long.
It's obvious that Trump supporter are protest voters, Trump is their protest symbol.
He's spewed enough hate, racism, xenophobia, lies (90%+ are lies) in their direction, that they don't care.
Even if he were elected (won't be, he can't get 50% of even Repug support), he will not do and/or could not do what he says.
His supporters will be "betrayed" once again. Their "autocrat" Trump will simply not deliver.
The trajectory of the American Empire as defined by BigFinance, BigCorp, 1%, the MIC/PIC, aka the wealthy oligarchy, will continue, and America will continue its permanent decline.

In an article earlier this month, I asked if DeRay Mckesson could turn his 330,000 Twitter followers into 20,000 votes in the Baltimore Democratic mayoral primary. So far, it looks like he hasn't. The Black Lives Matter activist, who entered the race just before the deadline and got less than 1 percent of support in a pair of Baltimore Sun polls, has just 1.6 percent of the vote — 482 votes in total — in early counts. State Senate Majority Leader Catherine Pugh leads with 44.5 percent of the vote, ahead of former Mayor Sheila Dixon, at 33.2 percent. More than 30,000 votes have been counted — about 40 percent of the total votes in the previous Democratic mayoral primary, in 2011.

They should all be closed primaries and winner take them all, tbh.
Parties are private, only members of that party should be able to vote. Just make the deadline to register more reasonable, like 6 months.

Yep, but all that extra stuff allows party heads to manipulate the primary to a certain degree. Can't tell them not to do it unless the US decides to just regulate the parties. I think when we eventually break from the 2 party system, maybe a decade or two from now, the complication will be so much that the US will step it and tell everybody that they have to follow some basic rules.

Yep, Hillary is getting the nomination and it will require superdelegates if Bernie stays in. He has to understand this and understand the uproar from his voters if superdelegates award the nomination to her. Bernie staying in might very well award Trump the presidency because of how delicate the balance will be in the rust belt this cycle - Hillary is already polling worse with hispanics and blacks than Obama did against Romney. The female vote is normalizing as well if polling remains consistent. Like I have always said, this race will be a landslide in one way or the other - whoever fucks up the most will lose by a lot.

Not really with democrats. She's very popular with them. She always beats him with democrats something like 60% to 40% or something like that.
Until last night he hadn't even won a single closed primary. LOL
The trick is she gets blown out with independents. They're all with him then you add the democrats he does have and you give him a fighting chance.

just voted. i'm registered with no party preference, so i was able to go, but then the bitch at the check in desk informs me that i'd have to change my party to democrat to be able to vote for presidential nominees, because the no-party-preference ballot excludes that race. which is ridiculous because that goes against california rules which explicitly allows NPP voters to vote the democratic presidential ballot upon request (called a crossover ballot). they didn't accommodate (which only affirms my refusal to join the party). so i just put sanders on the write-in section and voted the rest as normal

Voting in the June 7, 2016, Presidential Primary Election
An NPP voter will receive a non-partisan ballot, which will have no presidential candidates listed.
However, upon request, an NPP voter can instead vote the presidential ballot of the following parties:
[*=1]American Independent Party
[*=1]Democratic Party
[*=1]Libertarian Party
its actually illegal behavior on their part to refuse to provide the crossover ballot, but i dont give enough of a shit to actual make noise about it

you'd lose good money. i voted democrat, as i indicated. if you read the rule i posted above, NPP's cant vote republican in california anyway. i even outright stated in my last post that i wrote in sanders :lol
i dont get why you're so personally invested in believing that i'm a republican/conservative, its quite eerie. just because i dont presume guilt in every cop case before knowing any facts? grow up

This Madison McFerrin chick singing the national anthem at Hilary's deal is horribly embarrassing
Can Sanders actually lose shoe in South Dakota?

Just did, apparently. Embarrassing.
If Bernie gets stomped in California, he needs to resign tomorrow.

resign? or do you mean suspend his campaign

Agreed. New York, Florida, texas and California losses are beyond damning.

He needs to quit the race for the democratic nomination. I don't mean he needs to quit as senator.
He won't suspend - there's still the FBI investigations. Anything can happen - he'll want to hang around just in case.

Damn that was a serious ass kicking in California. I wonder if it had anything to do with Hillary being declared the nominee by the media when New Jersey closed 3 hours earlier?
Bunch of key primaries going on today.
AOC wins her primary. Eliot Engel about TO GET AOCed by Jaamal Bowman. Amazing.
This guy Engel is a complete faggot. I'm glad he is heading for an upset lost.
Meanwhile in Kentucky Amy Mcgrath is looking to stop Charles Booker's momentum to take on the turtle.
