But the RNC clapped for gays, isn't that enough? But guys, we clapped at a man who said that we didn't think you should be murdered for being gay. Why isn't that enough? Why can't you be happy with us now coming around to the idea that you shouldn't die for being gay? Marriage is between a man and a woman. | ||

Is identity politics only acceptable if you list the groups you hate? | ||

The obvious point is that it's terrible when Trump does it, it's just as terrible when the entire democratic party seems to be tripping over themselves to remind the world of Hillary's genitals. | ||

Guaranteed to be successful unless you fuck up big time or your parents are literal lunatics. | ||

He's running a platform of economic protectionism, wants to build a literal wall, impose law and order, keep people out of the country on all fronts, withdraw from international organisations. etc... That literally is the whole campaign. Every single topic aims to divide. What positive or unifying message is Trump presenting on any topic? | ||

Welcome to the reality we have all be living. And it is a small subset of Bernie supporters, to be fair. From reports teh boos are coming from like 50 people in the back. They pick it up every time it is quite. | ||

I'm pretty sure Bernie would get more votes, but it wouldn't be because of that, it would be because all the independents/nevertrumps who refuse to vote Clinton are more willing to vote him. | ||
