He's a socialist. The unapologetically left think he's great, but most of the Democrats are reluctantly endorsing Clinton because she is perceived as moderate and therefore more electable. She is also more or less iron clad, she and her husband have more than proven themselves capable of rising above major scandals and driving votes on the national scale.
Call me jaded, but even though I believe in his socialist underpinnings, I just don't really give a shit about Bernie Sanders. We can hope that he will succeed at driving Democratic primary debates to the left, but IMO Hillary is a juggernaut and Sanders can't challenge her seriously, he can only dampen left-wing enthusiasm for her solidly centrist, corporatist platform, and tip the overall scale toward her Republican opponent.

Hilary is a joke on face value simple as fucking that. Anyone who votes Hilary is a feminist female. Or Bill Clinton. Bernie will win the primary.

Like I said, I align with Bernie's principles but am under no delusion that he will succeed. He is too fringey.

I think Bernie's got a lot of great ideas. He has been involved in the American government for quite some time as an Independent.
I see a Catch 22 here, though. He is running for president under the Democratic banner. I think to really reform things, one would have to work outside of the mainstream 2-party system that has been overly corrupted by corporate interests and lobbying. Yet, when public candidate debates and discussions occur, there are measures in place to exclude independent voices.

It's interesting because Bernie is a registered independent. I didn't know you could just run on a party platform even if you didn't belong to that party in the first place.

If Charlie Crist could change parties between terms (which he did), I don't see why Bernie wouldn't be able to run for a party he doesn't represent.

isnt one of his ideas to get rid of the career politicians?
isnt bernie a career politician? why hasnt bernie set the example by stepping down?
bernie is a retard along the lines of a 6 day creationist, science means nothing to him, he blames the failure of GMO labeling legislation on the biotech industry's influence over congress when in reality issues like this merely show that politicians like sander are pandering to a minority group that has no understanding of the subject but are in most cases only objectionable to a company making a profit just as sanders is. now if sanders is so obsesses with not making money, why hasnt he traded his congressional pay for a handful of magic beans. when you look at sanders' voting record you will see that he's the same big government all up in your shit, spend thrift politician that everyone complains about
why do people keep insisting we vote for the same in every election
I'm all for sanders running for president, at least there he has no real power and with some luck, maybe sanders will be out of the senate for good so that he stop tarding up the works with his dark ages economic policies

I've got the feeling it has already been decided it will be Clinton. Still, I could be wrong.

that was said in 2008 when she was ahead of obama in the primaries but the backroom deals that had her pulling out so that obama could take the spotlight are also what landed her as secretary of state

But I did not say that in 2008. Anyway, just a feeling, nothing to take serious.

the republican and democratic nominees are yet again, terrible.
i'll be voting Libertarian... Gary Johnson is the clear presidential candidate here. I mean shit, the man climbed Mount Everest. If that's not an indication of his ability to commit to matters he holds close, i don't know what is.
i'll agree with sophist here on Hilary though... i just don't feel her party platform can deliver what this country truly needs right now. (same with the republican platform)

I'd advocate 70%, myself, but I admire his all-or-nothing spirit. Too bad it's completely impractical and wing nutty.

The good: Sincere, for the common man, will make life for the poor, disabled, and elderly better.
The bad: Nonstop talk about "tax the rich" as if it will do anything to reduce the deficit; nonstop talk about global warming and the environment.

Another in a long line of idiots who should have had the good sense to retire about the time the dinosaurs died off.
If we ever have a constitutional convention we need to add term and age limits for Judges, Congress, President and Vice President.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
