Seems rather that you have a limited definition KPN Jun 2016 #44

Some like both apples and oranges. emulatorloo Jun 2016 #12

In March I chose orange over apple, but, choose apple in Nov over Trump's version of orange. blm Jun 2016 #64

Watch out. They'll take away your progressive card for saying that......LOL Trust Buster Jun 2016 #78

My adherence to reality and fairness got me banned from HRC and Sanders groups. blm Jun 2016 #82

You can only speak for yourself, not all independents brush Jun 2016 #32

It's not just about independents. KPN Jun 2016 #47

I get that you're a Bernie or Buster. That's not hard to get. You keep repeating it. brush Jun 2016 #59

Your response indicates to me that you indeed don't get it. KPN Jun 2016 #65

Keep blaming Clinton but Sanders and his campaign only have themselves to blame . . . brush Jun 2016 #88

So is that it? Lol. You truly don't get much of KPN Jun 2016 #115

They are trying to manufacture consent for this. Like they always do. They are usually successful. stillwaiting Jun 2016 #42

There are the young true, but there are CEO's, Managers, Psychiatrists, bkkyosemite Jun 2016 #17

Few CEO's, electricians, or laborers are voting for Bernie. Most well-educated over 45 vote for HRC. tonyt53 Jun 2016 #29

Ah, no, most of the well educated are independents for Bernie as are the majority of Progressives larkrake Jun 2016 #90

Welcome to Memesville. Beartracks Jun 2016 #40

Colorado would go for Bernie, but not for Hillary, even if she picks Hick as her VP. He is not well larkrake Jun 2016 #76

Primaries do not represent the hopeless, disgusted, indys, and almost half supported Bernie larkrake Jun 2016 #130

Bravo, larkrake Carolina Jun 2016 #134

Especially since, if she wins the nomination, she'll immediately drop all her fake-ass "progressive" Gene Debs Jun 2016 #10
