They are anti-war and anti-violence and pro-peace.

You reap the violence you sow in the world. If wr we truly want peace than we must live peacefully. Republicans preach that violence can solve problems. That killing people is necessary for peace. Only an anti-violence movement is going to save our world. If the leaders of our world cant solve problems without violence than the people never will.

Clinton wanted to expand access to mental health facilities. NCTraveler Jun 2017 #36

this guy was a political fanatic, but that doesn't make him mentally ill nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #38

The shooting of those people does though. brush Jun 2017 #42

it makes him a fanatic and a terrorist, but those arent' categories of mental illness. nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #45

I do not agree. Mentally stable people don't go out and shoot people. Something must have pushed ... brush Jun 2017 #106

not every mentally unstable person has a mental illness nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #107

O-k-a-a-a-a-y. That sounds like an oxymoron...does not compute. brush Jun 2017 #108

A fine distinction, but a lot of Sanders supporters are not Democrats. Sanders is not a Democrat. pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #44

That anti-Democratic sentiment BainsBane Jun 2017 #46

Sure. But when has the media ever played truthfully. Eom pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #50

he was an extremist (and obviously became more extreme) geek tragedy Jun 2017 #49

That is an interesting quote. I like it. But not really factually true. eom pirateshipdude Jun 2017 #51

one can be a nutjob without having a mental illness nt geek tragedy Jun 2017 #62

The running narrative should be "a Jill Stein supporter", then, not Bernie Tarc Jun 2017 #99

That won't fly. Bernie said the guy volunteered on his campaign. oasis Jun 2017 #105

No, the running narrative should be that all this stuff is totally irrelevant. Jim Lane Jun 2017 #112

But that wouldn't serve the OP's agenda melman Jun 2017 #115

Yes - because that will work... jmg257 Jun 2017 #116
