Pretty sure Kissinger is the evil artifact that people pray to and that possesses/kills people to further its goals. Dukat is closer to Bill with the whole philandering and losing control of his party thing.

Agreed, Kissinger is a pah-wraith who must be banished to the fire caves for our own protection

Dukat is Bill, and Hillary will push him into the fire at the last to get what she feels she deserves.

also they did bang, so this analogy works even better

No I'm talking about this idea that the DNC is some corrupt cabal that needs to be broken down and the populist campaign is being shoved down their throats at all, when even a vast majority of Sanders voters when polled have said 'yea we're fine with Hillary too'.

I don't really see how those two ideas are mutually exclusive

The DNC are a corrupt cabal that needs to be broken down; the vast majority of Sanders voters at the very least hate the DNC less than they hate the GOP. These are both things which I believe to be true, yes.

Yea just make whatever up you need my dude, there's no way I could actually like Sanders and Clinton both and my main issues with Sanders come from his recent few months' trend of seeming to buy into his own memes and do just boldfaced bullshit like switching from 'super delegates ignoring the will of the people is bad' and into 'hey I have a new system for super delegates that just happens to be designed to put me ahead despite losing', and his absolute apathy at any race that isn't Bernie Sanders'.

That and Bill actually seems like a pretty great guy making the best of a bad situation, until you realize it's his bad situation and then things start going south and the mask slips.

Also holy poo poo Kissinger looks revolting. I know people talk about Cruz being an abominable slime monster but Kissinger looks like a goddamn hagfish that swallowed a boulder and then died.

My issues are with bernie sanders, the dude running for president. Like, Obama had insufferable fans too, and somehow he managed to not chug his own kool-aid down at every campaign stop in the tail end. Whatever though dude, you need to be right about why nothing I say actually matters because I'm an evil false-supporter or whatever so yea, I just hate poor bernie because a reddit post made me sad, that work?

Okay? I'm saying the issues you have with Bernie are the same ones you seem to have with his supporters. I'm sorry I was wrong about who you were pissed off at, but then again I've never seen you not pissed off at everyone.


Also I loving wish Obama had drunk his own kool-aid. Unless you think this country isn't currently on course for a dystopic hellhole, in which case we just have completely different worldviews.

I don't know if they like her as much as they're terrified of what will happen to their political careers if they don't march to her orders.

The GMO and nuclear energy positions Bernie has are things I wholly disagree with. Thorium joke posts about it but I've been a fan of them Thorium reactors for a while, even before I knew of Bernie Sanders. Nuclear energy is one of those words that have an insane amount of fear associated with them. You know, like communism and socialism. But when you ask people why they're afraid of nuclear energy they give you the stuff they heard from anti-nuclear rhetoric. Unfortunately, what we are using now are inefficient plants using expensive fuel. With GMOs, having them on a label is whatever. But practically everything we digest is a GMO these days. If you like corn then you're eating a man-made vegetable. Natural corn does not look like the stocks we eat.
