RobMx80
The problem with the Paris accord is that it didn’t require other countries to produce results, and they were given billions to do so.
The real problem was that money will never fix the problem. It was essentially a massive carbon tax that even if the US paid in full ->
-> the overall effect would lower the Earth's temperature by possibly .002% at best and only for a few months. Money won't change anything.

honest to how Hillary felt about the campaign? Everyone knew they were screwed from the beginning

Yup. I am pretty sure the party, Obama, and her made a deal when she lost her 2008 bid to him. Kind of a internal pact. He got his turn you
are next.
Discoduck
I honestly think more people would have voted for her if that were the case. It's...honest.
Ssssssssssss
As opposed to the time MTV told Bernie supporters to drink bleach, which was hilarious and shortsighted.
Petty tribal infighting among this country's progressives = why we have Trump. (though that goes beyond petty into abhorrent IMO)
Gallus1985
Why blame "progressives" when centrist democrats were the minority and the core issue? Bernie was the better and more popular candidate.
I wouldn't call Hilary progressive. She is whatever the polls tell her to be. Her slogan said it all; I am with her.
MericanNightmare
Seriously, we have so much more in common than we don't. Bernie has stated in his book that he ran to push the democratic platform back to
the left, grassroots, middle class centric origins. And it kinda worked. I think we will see more progressive candidates next election.
override367
We have Trump because the midwest is full of idiots who think Hillary is just as bad as the dementia carrot
IMO we need to abolish the Electoral College. She would have been elected by popular vote, but instead 3 states decide everything like usual
It's so much more complicated than that, but that is a very key cause and 140 characters sucks for political discourse.
Oh I'm definitely keeping it overly simple, for sure. Perhaps the = sign was too definitive, but imgur is...imgur

Fun fact: 12% of people who voted for Sanders in the Democratic candidacy race then voted Trump in the general.
Actually yes.
SquirtleSquad420
That always happens. A similar amount of Hilary supporters voted for McCain in 2008.
I think that really speaks to the level of ignorance voters are walking into the booth with. Read platforms people.
TheJazzGhost
It's because a lot of Sanders voters were voting based upon anti-corporate, populist sentiment. That or they just hated Clinton.
That's not to say Trump is anti-corporate or populist of course, but that's how he billed himself sometimes, and some ppl are fools.

Funner fact, this was a lower percent than normally swaps when their candidate loses the primary.
It's still very telling. And how often are candidates as different as Sanders and Trump?
Quite telling. The two candidates were so different that the smallest percentage ever swapped over to Trump when Sanders lost.
That's one person in eight. Hardly an insignificant number.
Significance is judged by relationship to the standard. So yes it's significant as it shows greater loyalty to policy among Sanders voters.

One is playing at thermonuclear war the other is Hillary, Hillary would have very simply put been more of the same.
In an immediate sense, Hillary was the lesser. In the long term, I don't know. Trump is such an obvious evil that the political snap back is
shaping up to be epic. If Hilary had won it would have been a more insidious and banal evil that would fuel more right wing influence.
AntiCircleJerker
Still makes me sad. We know Hillary screwed Bernie. Former DNC Chair said Hillary bought the party. There's got to be a better fucking way!

Easier to do nothing and blame others for doing wrong, than to do something and be blamed by others, yeah?
Seems that way, but hopefully others have the balls (or ovaries) to step up and not be bitches so we're not doing this alone.
That’s the seemingly insurmountable part. How do you motivate a popular movement away from the establishment? Is it even possible?
You go from the smallest political offices to the larger ones. Libertarians and Greens alike go for President but ignore lower offices.
Isosyn
It is realistically only technically possible. Winner takes all system leads to only 2 viable generic parties. https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo
Of course it is, but to achieve it you have to be a person with such a huge presence. MLK Jr. for example.

DukePhelan
Except for losing the nom by millions of votes sure Bernie won... Voted B in the primary, voted HC in the election since I am not an asshat.
i LOVED Bernies ideas... in a world where Dems hold at min. House OR Senate. Bernie was too stubborn to be Pres with a rep. legislature.
Interesting. I never really thought about that
I wrote in Bernie, but I'm from California so my vote in the election doesn't matter anyway. Bernie would have beat Donald. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ignoring a lot of factors. Like Bernie winning the caucus states which don't broadcast votes, as well as the NY voter purges.
buckeyes995
Caucuses are terribly undemocratic though, and so few people vote in them
Fair enough. Whats your stance on Super Delegates, and their shutting down of exit polls though.
Super delegates aren't a terrible idea, but the number of them should be severely cut down so they can't really decide anything
And what do you mean about exit polling? Exit polling has no real bearing on anything except before votes are fully counted
Voting HC after DNC basically admits they screwed BS(heheh) out of a fighting chance seems incredibly myopic.
You remember Bernie was NOT ( and is again not now) a democrat. Why would the party support an effective outsider to their party anyway?
I didn't but that makes more sense. I was mostly severely disturbed about the glaring lack of pop media coverage he got vs his numbers which
surely helped cause his numbers to stay down since he was being depicted as a crazy old man even in left-leaning media outlets.
Well enough people voted for one for Trump to become president.
Bernie probably would have lost even if there hadn't been rigging, but people shouldn't have to put up with rigging in the first place.
You shouldn't be ok with what happened. It was wrong and terrible for the democratic process. We should all be furious with DNC.
I get the feeling some on here will support the Dems or GOP no matter how much the parties fuck the people. They just ignore it and yell.
If Bernie got fewer votes how was it a failure of the process exactly? I have never understood the logic in this claim can you explain?
Sure, the problem isn't that Bernie lost due to fewer votes, it's that the DNC make strategic choices early on in the process that tilted 1/
but if Bernie had to be screwed out of a fair chance, I'm glad DNC wasn't rewarded for it. Hopefully they reform and ride the Trump pushback
There wasn't rigging. That's a pile of made-up bullshit.

I don't like that only one of those are union printed. I don't buy shit unless it's union printed.
MHfromNH
that's cause only one is an official campaign sticker. no dem dares put out campaign materials without a union seal.
Some do, depends on the labor support the candidate gets and their cash flow. Mostly lower level, or districts without union presence.
my local state senate candidate wouldn't print signs til she got the seal. her father was union, the firefighters support her, it's a big.
I know, i am the finance director on my 5th congressional race ha
Never been around unions, is that just a paying it back kind of thing?
Sort of, but also showing you support what they stand for. Good employment conditions, collective bargaining,
You should read up on the history of unions in America. Most of our legal worker protections- the standard eight hour day, min wage,
workers comp, weekends, etc- all come from union protests in the early twentieth century. Unions used to be a major political force
in America that helped a lot of people. Unfortunately companies have been very succesful at union busting in the last few decades
You don't buy shit unless it costs more than it needs to
PRice for union printing is exactly what it should cost, because their employees have all the wages, benefits, protections they deserve.
Why do they deserve it? I buy what is worth the price
Because they're skilled and they work hard and they'll value my business because they value their job?
High skill doesn't require union representation

honest to how Hillary felt about the campaign? Everyone knew they were screwed from the beginning
spetcnaz
Yup. I am pretty sure the party, Obama, and her made a deal when she lost her 2008 bid to him. Kind of a internal pact. He got his turn you
spetcnaz
are next.

I honestly think more people would have voted for her if that were the case. It's...honest.
Ssssssssssss
As opposed to the time MTV told Bernie supporters to drink bleach, which was hilarious and shortsighted.

Petty tribal infighting among this country's progressives = why we have Trump. (though that goes beyond petty into abhorrent IMO)
Gallus1985
Why blame "progressives" when centrist democrats were the minority and the core issue? Bernie was the better and more popular candidate.
spetcnaz
I wouldn't call Hilary progressive. She is whatever the polls tell her to be. Her slogan said it all; I am with her.
MericanNightmare
Seriously, we have so much more in common than we don't. Bernie has stated in his book that he ran to push the democratic platform back to
MericanNightmare
the left, grassroots, middle class centric origins. And it kinda worked. I think we will see more progressive candidates next election.
override367
We have Trump because the midwest is full of idiots who think Hillary is just as bad as the dementia carrot
Ackes4019
IMO we need to abolish the Electoral College. She would have been elected by popular vote, but instead 3 states decide everything like usual

It's so much more complicated than that, but that is a very key cause and 140 characters sucks for political discourse.

That always happens. A similar amount of Hilary supporters voted for McCain in 2008.
MericanNightmare
I think that really speaks to the level of ignorance voters are walking into the booth with. Read platforms people.
TheJazzGhost
It's because a lot of Sanders voters were voting based upon anti-corporate, populist sentiment. That or they just hated Clinton.
TheJazzGhost
That's not to say Trump is anti-corporate or populist of course, but that's how he billed himself sometimes, and some ppl are fools.

eadanke
Funner fact, this was a lower percent than normally swaps when their candidate loses the primary.
RoutemasterFlash
It's still very telling. And how often are candidates as different as Sanders and Trump?
eadanke
Quite telling. The two candidates were so different that the smallest percentage ever swapped over to Trump when Sanders lost.
RoutemasterFlash
That's one person in eight. Hardly an insignificant number.
eadanke
Significance is judged by relationship to the standard. So yes it's significant as it shows greater loyalty to policy among Sanders voters.

I guess I'm sparking a flame here by asking whom the lesser of two evils is considered to be.

One is playing at thermonuclear war the other is Hillary, Hillary would have very simply put been more of the same.

In an immediate sense, Hillary was the lesser. In the long term, I don't know. Trump is such an obvious evil that the political snap back is
MericanNightmare
shaping up to be epic. If Hilary had won it would have been a more insidious and banal evil that would fuel more right wing influence.
AntiCircleJerker
Still makes me sad. We know Hillary screwed Bernie. Former DNC Chair said Hillary bought the party. There's got to be a better fucking way!

That’s the seemingly insurmountable part. How do you motivate a popular movement away from the establishment? Is it even possible?

You go from the smallest political offices to the larger ones. Libertarians and Greens alike go for President but ignore lower offices.

It is realistically only technically possible. Winner takes all system leads to only 2 viable generic parties. https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

Except for losing the nom by millions of votes sure Bernie won... Voted B in the primary, voted HC in the election since I am not an asshat.

I wrote in Bernie, but I'm from California so my vote in the election doesn't matter anyway. Bernie would have beat Donald. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FauxErsatz
Ignoring a lot of factors. Like Bernie winning the caucus states which don't broadcast votes, as well as the NY voter purges.
buckeyes995
Caucuses are terribly undemocratic though, and so few people vote in them
FauxErsatz
Fair enough. Whats your stance on Super Delegates, and their shutting down of exit polls though.
buckeyes995
Super delegates aren't a terrible idea, but the number of them should be severely cut down so they can't really decide anything
buckeyes995
And what do you mean about exit polling? Exit polling has no real bearing on anything except before votes are fully counted
RetConMan
Voting HC after DNC basically admits they screwed BS(heheh) out of a fighting chance seems incredibly myopic.
DukePhelan
You remember Bernie was NOT ( and is again not now) a democrat. Why would the party support an effective outsider to their party anyway?
RetConMan
I didn't but that makes more sense. I was mostly severely disturbed about the glaring lack of pop media coverage he got vs his numbers which
RetConMan
surely helped cause his numbers to stay down since he was being depicted as a crazy old man even in left-leaning media outlets.
RoutemasterFlash
Well enough people voted for one for Trump to become president.
TheJazzGhost
Bernie probably would have lost even if there hadn't been rigging, but people shouldn't have to put up with rigging in the first place.
TheJazzGhost
You shouldn't be ok with what happened. It was wrong and terrible for the democratic process. We should all be furious with DNC.
AntiCircleJerker
I get the feeling some on here will support the Dems or GOP no matter how much the parties fuck the people. They just ignore it and yell.
DukePhelan
If Bernie got fewer votes how was it a failure of the process exactly? I have never understood the logic in this claim can you explain?
TheJazzGhost
Sure, the problem isn't that Bernie lost due to fewer votes, it's that the DNC make strategic choices early on in the process that tilted 1/
RetConMan
but if Bernie had to be screwed out of a fair chance, I'm glad DNC wasn't rewarded for it. Hopefully they reform and ride the Trump pushback

Sort of, but also showing you support what they stand for. Good employment conditions, collective bargaining,
JudgeMentalCat
You should read up on the history of unions in America. Most of our legal worker protections- the standard eight hour day, min wage,
JudgeMentalCat
workers comp, weekends, etc- all come from union protests in the early twentieth century. Unions used to be a major political force
JudgeMentalCat
in America that helped a lot of people. Unfortunately companies have been very succesful at union busting in the last few decades
MediaMuerte
You don't buy shit unless it costs more than it needs to

PRice for union printing is exactly what it should cost, because their employees have all the wages, benefits, protections they deserve.

Why do they deserve it? I buy what is worth the price
EGOT
Because they're skilled and they work hard and they'll value my business because they value their job?
