Minorities in America are very socially conservative, and while a large part of their population is poor, and benefit from liberal domestic economic policies (welfare, foodstamps, healthcare, etc), they also become a lot more economically conservative once they've risen out of poverty. | ||

Obviously I can't prove it happened, but as they say, 'if it smells like X & looks like X, it probably is X.' This is so adorable! Its like watching a puppy try to climb down a set of stairs. You can't help but watch him struggle with each step in the process  | ||

Maybe Ticklish is right about them just being grossly incompetent and using an obviously stupid turnout estimate. But then why did they just try to hide it and never mention it and then removed their graphics earlier than they have after any previous primary day? They know they screwed up and rather than admit it and explain what happened they are just hoping Hillary supporters carry their water and sure enough here they are doing just that. People have avoided the meat of the complaints because it's easier to just call it a conspiracy and make shitty x-files jokes. It's pathetic, and just like black voters in the south which are finding out the Clintons are happy to throw Obama under the bus once they got enough black voters, you all will realize you're just as disposable as she moves to the center (where she really is and has been the whole time). Unless of course you're also a centrist and not a liberal or progressive. | ||

Show me where I said she stole this election in Arizona? Or is it just easier to make something up and argue against that? EDIT: Also I saw I was credited by someone for posting that Huffpo article, it wasn't me or the argument I was making. I've noticed you all like to take the most absurd reddit comments (often from non-Bernie supporters) and try to place them all on me rather than argue the points I myself am making. EDIT2: I do hope they can count more than 62 votes today though. | ||

You should ask yourself why that is. Self-reflection is good for the soul. As is known. | ||

Because they don't get satisfaction arguing on reddit so they bring it here and paint it on top of what I'm saying. Instead of addressing what I'm talking about, they take whatever stupid reddit comment pissed them off and say "Of course GH is making the same "the truth is out there argument" instead of addressing the obvious problems with the vote and reporting of the vote in AZ (beyond the lines). They give a piss poor explanation for the media and expect it to be enough. It's not and it's obvious. We currently have outlets saying anywhere between 79% and 100% of the vote has already been counted and Maricopa County is saying only ~32k people voted on the 22nd. Anyone with eyes can see the problem with that, yet here are the hillbots acting blind to the whole thing. Though I have to say Ticklish claiming Hillary's silence on the issue is because she really cares takes the cake for ridiculously dumb excuses. | ||

At some point you become a broken record and we are only left with the mocking. No you really didn't. The explanations attempted didn't even get basic facts right. But tell yourselves you already refuted them and that I'm the one who doesn't get it... I'll take the absence of an example of me claiming what you said I claimed as admission it was bullshit, and an example of what I'm talking about. | ||

Anyone who already supports Trump would absolutely not give a flying fuck that his wife posed nude. I would assume they basically would expect it.... | ||

I'm guessing they were trying to appeal to the crowd that made an uproar about Michelle Obama's sleeveless dresses. Still not willing to admit that it wasn't about "class" or "formality" at all. | ||

Atlantic City is wondering when its losing streak will finally end. The mayor says his town, known for its huge casinos on the boardwalk, will run out of money in a few weeks. State lawmakers have a plan to get the city's finances under control. Atlantic City leaders don't like the state's takeover plan. But residents are hoping for anything that will change their luck. "A lot of people are walking away from their homes," says Al Bailey, a local real estate agent who was born and raised in Atlantic City. "We have an old saying: We got sand in our shoes," says Bailey, meaning he has no plans to leave this faded beachside resort town. But he knows plenty of people who can't afford to stay. "Just getting and leaving," Bailey says. "They just can't make ends meet." Last year, the Atlantic City area had the highest foreclosure rate in the country, according to RealtyTrac. That's partly because of lost casino jobs. And it's partly because of rising property taxes. That's been hard on people like 86-year-old William Cheatham, who used to own a house on North Maryland Avenue. "We had been there for 50 years," Cheatham says. "The taxes just got to begin to get too high for us. We was on a limited income. We was just taxed out of our home, basically." "The big problem is the continuing decline in the casino industry," says Oliver Cooke, associate professor of economics at Stockton University. "Now I think that has spiraled into a housing crisis. And of course, the fiscal crisis that the actual city of Atlantic City currently faces." The casinos used to account for much of Atlantic City's tax revenue. But four of the city's casinos closed, leaving only eight in business. Two-thirds of the city's tax base has disappeared since 2010. To make up for the shortfall, Atlantic City raised taxes on its residents, by a lot. But the city is still coming up short. Source | ||

She stole Iowa, Nevada and Massachusetts – but Arizona is Hillary Clinton’s election fraud masterpiece. Desperate to prevent another “Michigan upset”, Hillary found an ingenious way to guarantee victory in Arizona. Completely insane. GOP governor cut funding for polling sites? FUCKING SHILLARY!! The shit I have to look at being liked on Facebook. holy cow. For those of you annoyed by Bernie stuff on FB, be glad you're not from the pacific northwest. It's complete chaos over here. | ||
