So since last post Sanders has had two more wins. Now it's on to New York where if he wins or only loses by 1 or 2% basically a tie things can start to change. People always say the math of delegates is a problem but he only needs to win by like 56% in most of the states left. The big problem is the popular vote now and even if Sanders gets the delegates Clinton may still have a lead in popular vote which may force the superdelegates and the DNC to give the nomination to her.. I will still hope for a different outcome but we will see. O Also Bernie to visit the Vatican days before the New York primary. This guy is getting some world recognition. This could swing some Catholics but not sure if it matter.

This is just too damn sad. My thoughts and prayers with these people and their families. There is just too much evil in the world.

Yea on the democratic side Bernie has been wining in strong liberal states, yes there have been a few outliers like Alaska and Oklahoma, but Hilary has really only won or dominated in the South and strong republican states. Now there also other factors like Hilary is getting more of the African American vote. Bernie leads or wins places with more White Americans. This is still strange to me for several reasons, but things may change. Yea Wisconsin will be a big one. Another point that goes well for Bernie is states with Open Primaries or Caucasus where Independents overwhelmingly support Bernie just not Ohio where they went to Kasich and this was a blow for Bernie. And that loss in Ohio is why people well telling Bernie to get out. Ohio is sometimes a swing state I believe right Lys? I just hope this momentum can keep going a few more big wins might just shake up the supper delegates. Now if Bernie does win huge in a few more states a can see a few of the super delegates switching sides not a majority or enough to give Bernie a win. Like what let Obama win in 2008 but maybe enough to go to the convention with. We will see. Also what do y'all think of the Bird landing on the Stage and than flying onto the podium. A sign?

Haha most of y'all I am about 70% or higher.. But I figured with Lys and few others we are complete opposite on the spectrum. Also if you're trying to figure out why your not so far left or more centralist. The spectrum is probably more based on world scales but in America any left wing is far left wing. O McAfee is the guy who created the McAfee cyber security systems used in most computers and is now a part of intel security and is running third party. I am not sure where he falls on a lot of policies but my co-worker who is a Bernie support says if he ain't the nominee he is going with McAfee.

Yea that was probably a crazy election year. Can't remember if it was that year or another one but Debs set some kind of record number of popular votes for an outside party if I am not mistaken?

Well I had taken this quiz before but here are my new results most likely very similar to a few past results. The only thing that probably changes each time I take this is who has the highest % either Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein. Yea my results are probably predictable from what I have posted in these threads. The weird thing is how much me and Donald and Cruz agree. I take the Hiliary results with a grain of salt as she flip flops and lies too much for me to believe that she would even hold up to what these results show. The coolest matches are with the two libertarians. Here check for yourself. https://secure.isidewith.com/elections/2016-presidential/2204916186 Now the party breakdown Democrats 95% Green Party 95% (These two have flipped and change each time a took the quiz) Socialist 89% Libertarians 63% Republicans 8% (might as well be 0.)

Yea Hillary will have it unless Bernie starts to win every state from here on out. Apparently strange things were going on in Arizona.

I think Coalitions could form different sects working together but not sure, there is always problems with bipartisan or what would be Tri/Quad partisan. But that just goes along with the massive corruption inside our political system, money holds more sway than anything.

Sanders may not win the nomination in the end but the primaries are going to the states where he is polling very well. I believe that Sanders ideas and this movement he rallied up will continue even if he doesn't when and will be a reckoning the next election and so on. We may first see things done at local levels and we could probably see more grassroots politicians like him popping up everywhere on both sides. Really I wish that this election will be the end to the two party system and cause us to have 3 or 4 parties. 1. The Far Left aka The Progressives which would probably include the Green Party, Democratic Socialist, a few democrats and Liberals and some other left wing groups 2. Centralist Democrats or just a Centralist party in general made up of majority of democrats and a few moderate and Fiscal conservatives. 3. Conservatives- The hard core conservatives, made up of most of the Republican party 4. Libertarians or the Tea Party/ Trumps party, Now I can see this going either route as either the Hard core reactionary Conservative tea party splits off or they stay in with the Conservative party or the Libertarians split or both and we get 5 parties. Either way I don't see our current parties staying the same and I see it's time to split up and either get rid of them (not likely) or have a multiple party system. What do y'all think?

Yea Hilary is making me mad and I still don't know how she draws in 100k voters well I get the southern states but Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri? well I read that the problem with Ohio might of been cause Kasich got the independents and some democrats which had been going towards Bernie in the states he fares well. The doubt is there that this was the end for him but like he said he is staying in until the convention and California and many of the Northern more liberal states are to come but he would really need to dominate and do better then 50% wins. The only thing is if it doesn't turn out well here on is if Clinton will give him the VP but I don't think that would happen. But I will stay vigilant and continue to push for a Sanders Presidency. Like many have said if he does win America will get it's final debate on it's future Socialism vs Capitalism well short of as Sanders is still capitalistic but with that dash of Socialism in the mix.

Talking about Iran being backwards Theocracy um that is on the US.. And also apparently they just elected a moderate what ever that means in their terms. But decades ago Iran was a very liberal democratic nation but I think the person who won back then was Socialist or something and then America got involved and guess what they didn't like that so the religious leaders had a counter-revolution and took power. The problem with Islam is they never had their religious civil wars like Christianity did. And even the so called good Islamic states like Indonesia still have problems like banning certain holidays. And it ain't just a few their it's a huge popular movement so your Liberal on the Woman driving part but you still trying to say your religion is better sorry your not liberal at all and still backwards thinking. Religion or your personal faith should be that personal you can't use it to govern and control anybody or use it as judgement on what's right. Yes many moral things follow the same code and many religions but some don't. I think Lysistrata can actually agree with me here a bit as I believe you said your either Atheist or agnostic or something if I am not mistaken? But yea Trump is on his way to victory.. So what do y'all think about what some are saying that Trump is doing this all for a hoax or just to help the Clinton's and doesn't actually mean half the stuff he says? Remember he use to support the Clinton's and was for many progressive and democratic ideas in the pass mainly Universal heath care.

Well the thing is if you feel like Bernie goes to far you got to remember running for president is like going to buy a car sometimes you go with a higher bargain then you probably get and you don't just settle on the first offer either. Many may not remember Obama actually ran for Single payer Health Care aka Universal Health care, but the thing was he got blocked a bit and then lost his mojo/ backbone and just settle with the Affordable Care act which does some good but still leaves private issuance in control of too much, also the mandate is just stupid yes everyone should have health insurance but you shouldn't be force into it. What I see is like what some others have brought up is similar to a few European countries is Universal Health Care Bernie's Medicare for all plan but their should be an option to it as if you want you can do private issuance rout which will still be regulated by the rules establish by the Affordable care act or any other Health care acts that are put in place but with in a degree. Now if we do eventually get Universal Health care yea many private insurance will probably not exist but a few may stay around and offer those who want to pay for it, probably lots of the top rich class. Another idea I have been having but not sure how it would be worked out is if many of Bernie's plans are in place then you should have in option to allocate you taxes to where you want it. like how much % of income tax to be put towards your Social Security vs Health care vs etc similar to how some business with 401k's allow you to do. Again not sure if this would be possible at all and of course our Tax system may be change as well, like the idea of only sales tax.. which I am kinda in between on as not sure how well it would work.

Huh,, Yea Obama backing would be huge but yea he wont throw his support until the Dems have a nominee and he really hopes it's Clinton. But I read somewhere that Biden gave some praise to Bernie, which my not mean much. But I was thinking since many Democrats wanted him to run anyways. Which i am not sure why he was kinda quite as a VP besides that slip he had few years ago and the past year or so. But again he probably wont do anything to damage his repatriation with Wall St, and other lobbyist groups... but If he does or if he would throw his support to Bernie I think that would just be as huge as Obama himself if not bigger.

Yea no Kennedy's but do you think there is anyone in the Democratic party that has any sway and if they throw in their support to Bernie help push him to a win? Just a General question
