9. You have to have war so the poor can join the military and hopefully survive long enough to go

Well, Sanders is definitely winning at DU, but nowhere else. eom BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #156

Yup Bernie has DU on lock down workinclasszero Nov 2015 #161

So there are more people for Hillary outside of DU. Does this give them the okay to begin Cal33 Nov 2015 #163

Most definitely. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #174

I've also noticed that there are more progressives at DU than elsewhere. Cal33 Nov 2015 #162

Believing lies to go along, to get along, is normal......... nolabels Nov 2015 #171

I don't know if they're progressives. No one can be certain they are. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #175

At first I only estimated that there were more Progressives at DU. Later I came across Cal33 Nov 2015 #187

Sanders is a great candidate, however, reality is reality. olegramps Nov 2015 #172

Sanders is a great man, a great congressman, and a great clarion for the voiceless. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #176

I also have trouble picturing Sanders as POTUS Gothmog Nov 2015 #183

Bernie Sanders is strong on national security. I see him more than qualified as CiC, too. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #184

Like with the drones and military action Sanders says he will take? Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #7

Justify the killing any way you can. Bernie isn't perfect but way better here. tecelote Oct 2015 #11

I thought I had heard him say this. Where did I justify killing? Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #12

I didn't mean to be so harsh but I do see voting for Hillary as a vote for more war. tecelote Oct 2015 #20

Sanders is no anti-war hero. Not by a LONG shot. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #181

Wow, is there an admitted crack in the armor? Amimnoch Oct 2015 #83
