Wow! After last night, I feel like I see ...

[autorank]

...a pale rider


Revelation 6:8King James Version (KJV)

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

King James Version (KJV)

But, you never know.

[JaneyVee]

1. I agree. Trump needs to be stopped.

[NurseJackie]

2. Nicely done!

[bigtree]

3. for real?

...wtgdh?

Whenever life gets you down / and things seem hard or tough / and people are stupid, obnoxious or daft / and you feel that you've had quite enough! / just remember that your standing on a planet thats evolving / revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour / its orbiting at ninety miles a second / so its reckoned / a sun that is the source of all our power / the sun and you and me / and all the stars that we can see / are moving at a million miles a day / in an outer spiral arm at forty-thousand miles an hour / of the galaxy we call the Milky Way / Our galaxy itself / contains a hundred billion stars / its a hundred thousand lightyears side to side / it bulges in the middle / sixteen-thousand lightyears thick / but out by us its just three-thousand lightyears wide / were thirty-thousand lightyears from galatic central point / we go round every two-hundred-million years / and our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe.

4. Well we do appear to be getting pressured into a choice...

...between one of the craziest people on the right and one of the biggest hawks on the left. (Sorry... the "left" is more appropriate). Or did you not notice that?


Making references to the apocalypse is a little hyperbolic, but it's sure as fuck not a *good* thing for the cause of peace.

[bigtree]

5. this isn't a new reality for me

...politics is rarely zero-sum, especially presidential contests.

The entire notion of doom is hyperbolic. I can't believe this is a serious op. Someone needs to step up and put this election and all of the hyperbole into perspective (*cough* Sanders *cough*).

I expect someone will and we'll move forward with a bit more courage.

[gcomeau]

7. And yet you support the Sophie's Choice outcome of the primary being made a reality...

...when we have a VIABLE PROGRESSIVE ALTERNATIVE for once in fucking forever. We don't have to do this to ourselves this year. For ONCE we don't have to.


If we don't put forward a progressive candidate this year of all years then the party is never going to let it happen. And I suspect you know it. And there's nothing Sanders can say to change the reality of that and make it ok.

[bigtree]

10. more hyperbole

...I can't take this kind of rhetoric seriously.

[gcomeau]

12. What the fuck about any of that was hyperbole?

Name one aspect of it.

[bigtree]

13. blocking

[autorank]

6. Truth in labeling

You're right, imho, about the crazies and the hawks. The term "left" and "liberal" should be barred from anyone who favors attacking other nations militarily without an imminent defensive rationale based on national security. It's like they're saying - it's OK if we invade and it's not really killing when people we invade die.

[MoonRiver]

8. Definitely puts things in perspective!

[riderinthestorm]

9. Trump crashing the world thru his chaos, HRC thru her warmongering

Interesting biblical reference.

Hyperbolic but this raised-as-a-fundy understands...

[pdsimdars]

11. That starred Clint Eastwood didn't it?

[freedom fighter jh]

14. That's right, you never know.

Bernie sent a hopeful message to his supporters today:

What you will not hear from the political and media establishment is that, based on the primary and caucus schedule for the rest of the race, this is the high water mark for the Clinton campaign. Starting today, the map now shifts dramatically in our favor.

Arizona, Idaho, and Utah are up next Tuesday. Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington State caucus the Saturday after. Then it's Wisconsin's turn to vote.

That means we have an extremely good chance to win nearly every state that votes in the next month. If we continue to stand together, we’re just getting started for our political revolution.

People have been dismissing Bernie's chances since he declared his candidacy, yet he has been a real contender. I won't believe Bernie is out of the race unless either Bernie says he's out or Hillary wins the nomination. Not before then.

If Bernie wins the nomination, he's got a good chance of winning against Trump in the general.
