oh wait, that's not Hillary down there... :D

Damn, the media fucking Bernie day b4 Cali. I smell a riot!

Nominate her just in time for the indictment.

Pretty excited to have our first female president! ;):):D

I would be happy if there were a reason for her to be president other than being female :(

That's not the reason she will be president, it's just a bonus.

No. It is :(

Plenty of people out that share your smilies.

Right, forgot where I was for a moment.

Whatever you say.

I don't think our legion of Bernie supporters want anything to do with this thread let alone recognize it's existence, and even though I took a shot at her in the OP. But I guess I'd be the same if Cruz had stolen the nomination too.

And nothing good about Hillary, damn straight, but at least Bernie had a 'screw the establishment' message much like the Don does. So now this election becomes even more pivotal, establishment vs. anti-establishment.

That's big picture stuff, not just the microcosms of personally supported single minded issues. And if it's for me a protest vote, so be it, but it's not on the person but on wtf they are doing and whom they represent. And when I say "they", I'm not talking about the voters they stole the primary election from.

I certainly didn't op this thread to gloat over it. This sux.

lol just lol if you think Trump is anti-establishment. He may not play well with the current establishment, the problem is he is a mega-narcissist and wants himself to BE "the establishment". He is indisputably a fascist, see descriptions of from Wikipedia:

"a political aesthetic of romantic symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence, and promotion of masculinity, youth and charismatic leadership"

"Griffin describes the ideology as having three core components: "(i) the rebirth myth [Make America Great Again], (ii) populist ultra-nationalism [Merica first, fuck them Messicans and Mooslems] and (iii) the myth of decadence [we're gonna win so much, you'll get sick of winning!]"

"a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion"

You can't tell me with a straight face that those don't all describe Trump's campaign to a T.


I have no love for Hillary but I am capable of objectively recognizing that she is the safest bet for our country out of this hellish election cycle
