"Strongly opposed busing, one of the most effective racial justice programs in US history"
"Actively admiring and seeking support from segregationists in the Senate to support anti-busing legislation"
"He voted opposed to school busing for desegregation in the 1970's"

I'm disappointed they didn't address his view on desegregation and busing.

Seems legit. I mean, they only mentioned voting for the Iraq war 3 times, once with 'other wasteful military interventions'

It also misses the most important point.

Not trump :)

Yeah I know it's not a very good reason all things considered.. But I really... Really don't like trump :p

For what it's worth, I honestly do think there are people who'd be much worse presidents than trump. At least trumps incompetence is somewhat self limiting. Someone with his narcissism and personality but a lot smarter would be a lot worse.

"Reminder to Bernie bros that it's the black vote that is giving Biden his wins. A 90% white America would produce an ideological socialist candidate on the left. You can get mad at me all you like, but you know it's true."

I predicted 4 years ago that Trump would be re-elected and I was laughed at. They said he'd be removed within months of his inauguration. The scary thing for a lot of people is that if Trump wins convincingly, then his detractors can no longer say he's illegitimate and he will have more of a mandate to get stuff done. Whether he does that or not I have no faith but it's a big worry for some.

And if he loses... Him and his supporters will just say it was rigged. He was already saying that before he won. :p

I for one have always considered his victory legitimate. I just think it was a legitimate mistake by the voters.

Honestly, if trump were to lose, do you think there's any possibility whatsoever that you won't be calling it a conspiracy by the deep state to steal the election? I don't. Not in a million years.

It would depend on a few points of analysis. I do think Trump won the popular vote in 2016, I think there was and still is widespread electoral fraud and one reason I think that Trump has more or less capitulated to the swamp is that he had time to introduce a free national voter ID to prevent voter fraud and hasn't done so. So if he is robbed of the election it's his own fault.
 
"Biden will win the South. You would think Sanders appeals to workers. He doesn't. He appeals to people who say they are for workers but who dont actually work. Actual workers understand how bad his policies are."
 
I hope Elizabeth is really happy with herself. She cost us Minnesota, Massachusetts, Maine, and Texas. and didn't come close to winning anything herself.
 
When will people wake up I wonder?

It doesn't matter who wins in the USA, Trump & Sanders are two sides of the same coin folks. "The system" is corrupt & needs to be smashed into pieces.
People vote like it will make any difference when it won't, the rich will get more rich & the poor will get even more poor then die.
 
Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.

Clerence thomas is a supreme court justice who is probably furthest to the right and when he was getting nominated by Bush Jr., an ex aide of his named Anita Hill (IIRC) claimed Thomas had harrassed her (weird stuff, he put his pubes on her food). Biden, along with others put a lot of time and work into trying to defame her and question her. This was an attempt to curry favor with republicans.
 
Some of the comments I've heard from others regarding Super Tuesday in the Dem runoffs....
