He votes to fund so-called "illicit wars" though, which makes him just as complicit Tarc Jun 2016 #31

Thanks but I don't need your assistance to know that Hilary is far more hawkish than Bernie. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #34
Well, you're able to admit Sanders is a hawk, just not as much as others Tarc Jun 2016 #35

among many, many others....

Bernie’s Iraq War Hypocrisy

But Sanders’s shots at Clinton haven’t inflicted much damage this time around, largely because there’s so little breathing space between the two candidates on foreign policy. Both Clinton and Sanders are seasoned interventionists, often advancing their hawkish policies under the ragged banner of “humanitarianism.” (See: Queen of Chaos by Diana Johnstone.)

Sanders supported Bill Clinton’s war on Serbia, voted for the 2001 Authorization Unilateral Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF), which pretty much allowed Bush to wage war wherever he wanted, backed Obama’s Libyan debacle and supports an expanded US role in the Syrian Civil War.


Happy reading!

For they know not what they do.

This is a bloodless revolution and there is no reason to be spilling their blood.

Hillary has won and Bernie's bunch is calling us losers anyway. So I seriously doubt that would be the case.

I realize this concept is foreign to Berners but voting is the system used to elect a nominee.
Hillary is kicking the pants off of Bernie in popular vote, pledged delegates and SDs. and there's no chance there will be enough SDs to turn in his favor as has been explained numerous times. its a math thing...and you can't beat the numbers

oh yeah , that and the latest polls show Hillary beating Trump by double digits. Its posted in HG right now. Its not that I care about polls, it just blows Bernard's argument of polls showing that he is the only candidate that can beat Trump sky high.

That's okay.
Hillary still won and there's not a darn thing Bernie and Co. can do about it. .

Pack up some pop tarts, Funyuns and protest your little hearts out.... so cute.

bye!

Syllogisms are only interesting if the minor premise isn't obviously false.
