Given the way that the US is treating Puerto Rico, they should consider joining also too.

it makes me so happy to be a Democrat; we have two-- count 'em-- two AWESOME candidates. The Republicans got nothin' (actually much, much less than nothin').Plus Dems have great buttsechs jokes. Republicans have Purity Rings.

God, Zip.. Thank you. That's perfect and helps! I really do love this primary season and I'm so happy to hear these views! If the Bernie generation comes strong we can win decisively.

borrowed from the Laconians who replied simply "if" to threats from Spartan invaders outside the walls of their city when they sent the message "if we break down your walls, we will invade your city, steal your women, kill your cows, etc"reference: Greek Historian, maybe Plutarch, who was apparently read by J Krishnamurti, of whom Steven Spielberg was a total fan, who lifted the quote from one of Krishnamurti's talks and put it into the mouth of the character Yoda

I'm not into fortune telling, but it does no one harm to point out the truth, unless of course, the truth runs counter to one's interest

"smart politics" to distort, twist the truth so as to deceive the voting public, some call that simply lying, without the need to disguise by calling it something else

Those dumb southerners! Good thing we can elect Sanders without them, because those states won't ever be carried by a Dem, so why the fuck should the views or needs of Dems living there be represented? Yeah, a really inspiring thread within the rhetoric of the left.

I feel the same. But I am sick and tired of my Dem friends saying they want to vote for Bernie, but "Bernie can't win the election, so a vote for Bernie is a vote for Trump." I've been hearing that bullcrap for 50 years, and it isn't true. But people believe it's true, so I guess it is a self-fulfilling prophecy and sort of true.

Hey, I don't dislike you because you're young. I dislike you because you're ignorant.
