Enjoy your pro-gun candidate, nerds. I'll stick with the real liberal.



Not the guy disrupting prayer services.



just fyi that rally was actually in Washington

the headline says Charleston but at the very end of the article they write "Correction: The headline initially said Sanders's rally was in Charleston. It was in Washington."

you can learn a lot in college or you can also learn nothing and still get your degree

trump owns because I get to hopefully watch a debate with him which will honestly be hilarious

I mean call me elitist if you'd like but I'd rather not have a college drop out for a president. I'd vote for a guy/gal who didn't go to college, and I'd vote for guy/gal who did go to college, but dropping out seems like the worst way to handle it.

why do you care

poo poo happens, life happens

there are literally a million reasons good and bad someone may not finish college

it shouldnt be an election issue

you could probably set aside the next 20 pages of why he is a lovely person and a bad candidate for president and the fact that he didnt finish college never need be mentioned

While we're in fairytale magic land, why don't we imagine an election where people vote for the person who actually represents their ideals instead of the party affiliation they consider a part of their cultural identity.

I don't know why you're so fervently arguing against something that is completely relevant to his electability. If Walker goes to the general, his lack of a college degree will be brought up by, at the very least, the media, and his campaign might even use it as a way to paint him as an everyman political outsider.

It's not just some non-issue people are bringing up to be mean to Scott Walker.

Being able to finish a degree is a sign of whether a young person can finish a significant task on their own and hopefully learn many things. How do you not understand why people feel this is significant in a Presidential candidate?

- Take an aggressive line against institutional racism rather than falling into "it's not race, it's class!"


I do think he could stand to better articulate his views regarding this, because he does bring things back to class a lot

which is a good point as well, but it couldn't hurt to be more explicit about fighting against racism

I mean, he actually has the history to show he is an ally against racism considering his sitins to protest segregation in the 60s

Sanders did an interview a couple of days ago which expounded a bit on his views on racism:

Eventually he'll get his views out there and I think people will respond. He has a strong history on advocating for the rights of minorities, so it'll happen. He probably could be a little bit more explicit in interviews though.

Eonwe, he's not saying Walker should be judged based on not having a degree, he's saying Walker will be judged. And Starlord's right. Just look what happened in the last few pages.

Regarding Bernie: I'm super excited to see he's polling so well. I know he's a long shot, but charisma matters, and I think he has more than Hillary despite being a crazy haired grandpa. His charisma combined with progressive Dems desperate for what he represents could mean he has some real sticking power. Hell, I may even get a chance to vote for him in California! :getin:

I get what he is saying, I'm just still saying its stupid and anyone that cares about it is stupid and he is I guess taking that super personal even though its not directed at him?????


anyway

Bernie is good and I support him and I think his chances are better now than even a few weeks ago. Remains to be seen how much support he'll pick up outside of left leaning white guys like me tho
