According to a preliminary vote total, Clinton received 1,308 votes to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' 190.[/quote] Only 7 delegates were at stake. But Clinton is now about 60 delegates from winning the nomination
They are pretty clueless to say the least.
The virgin islands as in one of the places the super rich stash their money... how could they vote overwhelmingly for Clinton... eh its not exactly surprising that the virgin islands would vote for clinton regardless, they fit squarely in her demographics
[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;50457782]They are pretty clueless to say the least.[/QUOTE] I don't like this argument from bernie supporters. The belief that the only reason that someone might support Clinton is if they're a shill or stupid. Not possible that people simply disagree with you in your tiny worldview?

You'll get used to people left of you assuming you're evil just by the people you support.
[QUOTE=smurfy;50457775] Only 7 delegates were at stake. But Clinton is now about 60 delegates from winning the nomination[/QUOTE] Can ya stop using such ambiguous language? She needs more than 60 delegates to keep her lead in pledged delegates which is what counts for most superdelegates decision
[QUOTE=sgman91;50457838]Welcome to being a conservative. You'll get used to people left of you assuming you're evil just by the people you support.[/QUOTE] better than the right who attach the label liberal to anything they don't agree with and sling it around like it was a 4 letter word
[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;50457782]They are pretty clueless to say the least.[/QUOTE] Lol how pretentious can you be, christ.
[QUOTE=Sableye;50457855]better than the right who attach the label liberal to anything they don't agree with and sling it around like it was a 4 letter word[/QUOTE] No, I'm pretty sure being called a liberal is better
[QUOTE=sgman91;50457838]Welcome to being a conservative. You'll get used to people left of you assuming you're evil just by the people you support.[/QUOTE] Poor conservatives :cry:
[QUOTE=cody8295;50457846]Can ya stop using such ambiguous language? She needs more than 60 delegates to keep her lead in pledged delegates which is what counts for most superdelegates decision[/QUOTE] Superdelegates don't count unless they vote for Bernie Sanders.
[QUOTE=Dissolution;50457867]No, I'm pretty sure being called a liberal is better[/QUOTE] ever listen to conservative talk radio for 5 minutes? [I]LIBERAL, LIBERAL, LIBERAL, THEY'RE ALL SCREAMING LIBERALS!LIBERAL AGENDA GAAAH[/I] i can't exactly say i've heard the same sentiment being broadcast 16 hours a day across the air from the left
Liberal isn't even a slur. It connotations exactly what it means to be a liberal: higher taxes, lgbt rights, abortion, maybe gun control depending on who you ask, and regulation. Liberals and conservatives agree on what it means to be liberal, conservatives just think that those things are bad.
[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;50457897]Superdelegates don't count unless they vote for Bernie Sanders.[/QUOTE] Clinton needs to win 614 of the next 930 delegates to clinch the nomination before june 14th. If she under performs it could be a contested convention
d
I know when I day liberal that I mean it as a pejorative. [editline]4th June 2016[/editline] Like "...[i]liberals [/i]"
[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;50457897]Superdelegates don't count unless they vote for Bernie Sanders.[/QUOTE] No, they just don't count until, you know, they actually [I]vote[/I].
[QUOTE=Cyan_Husky;50458183]No, they just don't count until, you know, they actually [I]vote[/I].[/QUOTE] Majority of Superdelegates have publicly declared their support for Clinton. For what possible reason would they do the opposite of what they publicly stated they would do? They'll vote for Clinton. They're Clinton delegates. No, it's not set in stone but it's idiotic to hold out a belief that they'll switch over at the last minute - especially this close to the actual convention.

You can vote for a pathological liar if you want but I for one don't want some bitch that doesn't care at all about what she does or says.
i'll go ahead and post PR's result , don't think we need a new thread [url]http://democratas2016.ceepur.org/Island-Wide.htm[/url] bernie got blown out (expected really) .Hilary reached as high as 71%, now she's at 64.
[QUOTE=sgman91;50457838]Welcome to being a conservative. You'll get used to people left of you assuming you're evil just by the people you support.[/QUOTE] You (I assume) support those people for the views they represent and the agenda they support. If those actions and views are unfavorable then... well you see where I'm going with this.
I find it ironic when Bernie wins a small low-delegate contest supporters go "it doesn't look like much but it all adds up" but when Hillary wins one it's like "ehh it doesn't matter it's only like 6 delegates"
[QUOTE=sgman91;50457838]Welcome to being a conservative. You'll get used to people left of you assuming you're evil just by the people you support.[/QUOTE] Welcome to American politics in general. There have been so many times where people call me a Libtard for just suggesting that they try to see something from a different point of view. It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you're on, both sides employ it.

[QUOTE=Rika-chan;50463094]Pretty much this, I was playing CSS last night and this one guy kept going on about how "limp-wristed libtards" are ruining America.[/QUOTE] Our town literally has a pair of billboards on the outskirts of town paid for by a church that makes mention of "the God-less Left" concerning abortion, as well as how Islam is a destructive force or something along those lines. Weee, Bible Belt. :pudge:
Yeah those islands mean nothing Bernie's still got this guys!
