Look at the reddit frenzy over this, and there's millions of people there Reddit has long been an r/the_donald and r/S4P echo-chamber. If upvotes were votes, Sanders would've won by now, but alas they're not. | ||

There's absolutely no way Bernie's supporters are voting for Hillary. I was a Berniebro and I'm never voting for the party that fucked him over so hard and it really pissed me off that they attacked his religious beliefs or lack thereof | ||

Yeah but people like you that he drew in aren't normally democratic voters anyways. The nature of the two party system is that both parties have to go to the center in order to win national elections, even if it loses them some of the fringes. The GOP has a legit problem that they're pandering so hard to the extreme right that its starting to drive their moderates to the libertarians or even democrats. The DMC is being very careful to not do the same. | ||

It's so sad this year, the only democrat Trump can beat is Hilary. And the only republican she can beat is probably Trump... | ||

That was an email of a bad idea that never was put into action. And the only way he gets his progressive platform is if Clinton wins. He gets nothing under Trump. | ||

As much as I hope that they can be implemented as decent laws later, I'm cynical that they'll end up bloated, watered down, or straight up rejected in Congress and forgotten. | ||
