    I’ve been so over Warren since she whined about Iran after voting for a 700 bil military budget (HIGHER than trump requested and with 60 bil for Middle East ops alone). Lmao f--- off. Hopefully this s--- seals the deal

    Military industrial complex will remain regardless who is president. U.S. drones will continue to fly over the Middle East in a Sanders administration.

    Well duh, I know it's not as simple as getting a new president in office. I'm just saying it's wack as f--- to be up in arms about it when you didn't even have the stones to try to vote down a military bill allocating more money than trump asked for. Only eight senators voted no I believe and three of them were republicans. Pathetic.

    I know full well getting Bernie in office isn't going to instantly change everything. I know that it's much more complicated than just the wants of one person even if they're in the highest held office. Change takes time. But I would rather see someone try and succeed on a few things or set the wheels in motion for them than someone to just be like 'whatever it will always be the same.'

    I respect someone much more for giving that no vote on something they believe in even if they know it's hopeless because they're in the minority than someone who gives a yes just so they can say they were part of bipartisan decision. Warren's fake. She's the same a------ as all the other assholes posing as a progressive. And yeah I'd much rather have her as prez than Joe or Mayor Pete (or trump obviously lol) but she's not really bout it like that. She'd be fine prob just Obama 2.0 but she's not convinced me she's truly gonna try to enact change like that.

    If that’s the bar then no U.S. congressperson can criticize U.S. military interventionism because all of them have voted for large military budgets at one point or another.

    Trump was right. They are the Do Nothing Dems. 4 f---ing years to prepare and they are going to blow it.

    What the f--- is Liz thinking? What is Pelosi doing?

    I guess they are going to go let Joe Biden get beat by historical margins in November. Unreal.

    Bernie is the only person left that can defeat Trump at this point and the DNC is going to cut off their nose to spite their face to make sure he isn't the nominee. No words.

    Again I know it's much more complicated than that (a military budget gotta be passed either way), but we are talking about giving an insane gameshow host who we knew wanted to f--- with Iran MORE money than he asked for for military ops. And I would also respect someone more for starting to stand up to gross military spending even if they weren't voting no in the past. I know no congressperson has a 100% clean record, people make mistakes and change their views—this was just the straw that broke the camel's back for me with warren.

    It’s a case of pick your poison. As you said, a military budget has to be passed regardless & will be. So unless you’re in a safe district/state & don’t plan to run for higher office—you really have no wiggle room here. You either vote for the budget or run the risk of getting labeled a terrorist sympathizer, soft on terrorism, putting American lives at risk etc. Then god forbid, you vote no on increased military spending & a terrorist attacked happens. Or American troops get killed over seas. That can be your political career right there. Done.

    This is a good post bc it points out politics is more complex than the dopes on Twitter screaming into the void about how Elizabeth Warren isn't left wing enough for you. Grow up guys lol

    Well duh but why would I want to support a candidate who continually proves that she’s not actually about what she says she’s about lol. I started off liking her a lot what do you want me to do :dno:

    Hate money in politics but it is what it is. This is a promising sign for the general election!

    Every time Bernard Sanders gets smeared I donate more money to his campaign. People are fed up with the smears, lies and misrepresentation against him from both sides. I hope Bernie keeps swimming through all the bs and becomes the nomination

    You’re sort of correct here. Like how Clinton’s political career was over after being exposed being the person saying to mass bomb Benghazi. Killing a ton of innocent civilians and hundreds of kids under 8 years old. Then she was humiliated by Trump.

    You try and reach and think there’s some way Biden could upset Trump. But you know that’s not possible Enigma, come on. What M Solo said was spot on. There will be breaking landslide records with that old pedo creep trying to run against Trump. Sanders is the best option. And he’ll bring out a bunch of young voters to go vote for him. He’s honestly a threat to trump. I personally think he’s black listed for running for President. And the Democrats manipulate numbers so they run who they want to push. Sanders has good ideas, and he really wants the younger generations to be more educated and making college more manageable. Biden is mainly known for a guy who said on national tv that thc is a gateway drug. All guns should be banned. That’s an automatic loss. No gun owner will vote for him. Anyone using thc as medicine or for the buzz won’t vote for him. And you would only be voting for Biden for the WRONG REASONS!!! Because you hate trump that bad. You never stated good ideas that Biden actually has.

    I really don’t know why you’re insistent on thinking I’ve supported Biden from day one. I never even wanted him to run. Imagine still talking about Hillary Clinton in 2020 lol.

    I literally remember you saying that after that crooked ex judge you even tried trolling on me got exposed and lost her fanbase. From keeping people locked up who she knew weren’t even guilty. You said along the lines of “Biden stands the best chance against trump” literally a few posts before that you were saying people shouldn’t be allowed to run for President after 70, which I agreed with.

    I do think a president should be required to have some political science classes completed and some government classes credits, to keep people like Trump from getting in. Don’t be surprised if Trumps son, Eric runs for president, after trumps next term. Then all the same people voting for trump will be voting for Eric.
