If you disagreed with Person A 7 times out of 100, and Person B 99 times out of 100....

...who would you rather vote for?

(Clinton and Sanders) voted the same way 93 percent of the time in the two years they shared in the Senate.

1. What's important is what the 7 percent was.

A lot of Senate votes are procedural and non-controversial.

[lumberjack_jeff]

4. Some were procedural.

Others were not.

[KamaAina]

5. I see your point.

But could you have managed to make it less, uh, graphically?

[Renew Deal]

6. Is that from one of Sanders gun votes?

[lumberjack_jeff]

8. Clinton: the candidate of peace, harmony and justice.

Except for that one thing.

[Renew Deal]

9. You didn't have a problem voting for Kerry

Don't see why she should be different.

[lumberjack_jeff]

11. I supported Clinton in 2008 too. I'm not faced with those Hobson's choices today.

Now I can vote for a candidate that isn't simply the least bad option.

[Renew Deal]

13. So you didn't care about the IWR in 2008

It seems hypocritical to post what you did now.

[lumberjack_jeff]

14. What don't you understand about "lesser of two evils"? n/t

[demmiblue]

2. Sometimes votes simply don't illustrate the bigger picture. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

3. The one who has been voting that way for 20+ years

and not the one who is following the polls.

[Le Taz Hot]

7. The NYTimes shilling for the corporate candidate.

Quelle surprise.

[Fumesucker]

10. ...

[Shoulders of Giants]
