Technically nobody is the democratic "nominee" yet and she literally only has one challenger and there was only one other one for the majority of the race. And he wasn't really a serious rival so it's really been a two candidate race the whole time.

Also, can you please tell me why it is amazing, or why you like him so much?

This doesn't really have anything to do with politics so don't take it seriously one way or the other, but Hilary actually barked at her audience while speaking with them lol

i've literally seen nothing but good promises from bernie. the only bad thing is that he does or does not support israel, whichever one's the bad one.

seeing rutab call bernie a moron is amazing


if you elect me class president, I will put an ice cream machine in the student center! woooo

hillary gets a bad rap for being dishonest and unlikable or whatever, but she has a really strong campaign and really knows what to talk about, and on top of that she has a really good pedigree. i don't even like her but she's running an overall better campaign than any other democrat nominee, imo


Not that there are very many democratic nominees to compare her to.

rutab says

I now like Rubio


"i now like the guy who has shown up the least to his job among a field of absentee career politicians. clearly he would be a great president"


you mean, opposed to someone under criminal investigation by the FBI or a socialist who didn't have a job until he was about 40? Who also has failed many times when he served in the Senate?


you sound like you watch a lot of FOX news. why dont you read up on hillary clinton and bernie sanders' careers. you might learn a lot. btw rubio is a senator in florida, where im from, where he embezzled public money for his family friends and for personal expenses.

comcast operates as a monopoly in half of the US... ISPs are regulated, but comcast's practices as a singular provider in the market are not sustainable and will lead to numerous issues in the future. there are many, many companies in the US that have 0 concern with your financial and/or physical safety, and we see that across pharma, food, and energy. we are severely lacking effective regulation of numerous industries, even with what we currently have. reformation is key.

an the lobbying practices and corporate dominance of the political process effectively locks the american people out of the democracy. the longer we allow that, the longer we allow companies to do as they please ultimately.



the only reason they have a monopoly in half of the US is because of the government.

Someone show me one case of a naturally occuring monopoly in the last 100 years. (as in, not government created) plssssss

Im not avodcating no regulation, Im not advocating that the systems we have in place are fine. What I am saying though, is most democratic policies are really surface level stuff. Stuff that people can look at for 1 minute and immediately jump to the conclusion that things are not right. healthcare is more complicated than "healthcare is a basic human right." pharma is more complicated than "omg, this guy raised a price of a drug 100000%." Energy is more complicated than, "We need to move to renewable energy"

and in regards to china, they are the last country we should be emulating. Their economy is a house of cards, and when it falls, it will fall hard. And the lower/middle class will be hit the worst. The way the government minipulates it's currency and closes trading when the market is crashing is absolutely crazy and if our government started doing that stuff, I would be protesting on the street

Don't pay attention to the delegates? Bernie Sanders isn't winning the nomination. The system in that party is rigged for Clinton. And Rubio is going to win the GOP nom, not Trump. The GOP will go for the diverse Rubio/Nikki Haley ticket and beat Clinton. I'll bet anything on that.

Donald Trump would completely obliterate Hilary Clinton in an election and would most likely beat Bernie


i wouldn't count hilary out


Other Democrats that support Bernie Sanders almost hate her as much as Republicans do

Government regulations caused the market crash. In a true free market economy competition would always keep one bank from getting too big. True capitalism itself didn't actually fail. Socialist economics, always do in both countries.

Calvin socialism is a cutting-corners way to equality and sacrifices personal freedoms. And it does not work on a large scale. The Nordic countries have only a few million people. Bigger countries like Canada and Australia's economies are volatile. Canada's dollar is in the toilet right now. And we're ten times larger than them.


If you recall the global recession from quite a few years back now when the US economy just about went teats-up because of bank greed and irresponsibility, Canadian economy was one of the least effected by the recession and we did well during it. Our economy is based mostly on our exports, and when our dollar decreases, our exports increase, as American and international buyers gain increased interest in our live stock and grains, as it's cheaper for them to purchase from us than from their own countries. If anything, the American economy is far more volatile than our own, seeing as you're over 20 trillion dollars in debt. We're running a 5 billion dollar deficit government, which may or may not increase. Also recall that far more of the US is easily habitable, as opposed to Canada, where the vast majority of the entire population lives in the southern half of the country.
