[QUOTE=evilweazel;50792918]Damn Bernie looks so defeated when she started the pandering. Hardly cracked a smile.[/QUOTE] So incredibly depressing to watch. At least he's made it clear through that stony expression that he took no joy in endorsing her (which I think most people understood anyway). It should at least shut up all the people who turned on him and called him a sell-out. Sanders has so much grace he let her steal the nomination without even raising a fuss, simply because he didn't want to invite the possibility of a Trump presidency. Meanwhile, we're electing the person who stole the nomination, rather than the one who was graceful enough to give it up.
i dont think bernie looked that beat up. he always has that kind of professional look on his face.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;50792839]Honestly, I find her way more relatable than a billionaire who sexualizes everyone and can't listen to people for 5 seconds.[/QUOTE] I wish I didn't have to pick between an idiot and someone who appears to be borderline evil
[QUOTE=milktree;50792993]i dont think bernie looked that beat up. he always has that kind of professional look on his face.[/QUOTE] That wasn't a professional look. You could see in his eyes he was very upset.
[QUOTE=evilweazel;50793010]That wasn't a professional look. You could see in his eyes he was very upset.[/QUOTE] Bernie always looks upset though
[QUOTE=milktree;50792993]i dont think bernie looked that beat up. he always has that kind of professional look on his face.[/QUOTE] When the (likely) next president of the United States of America thanks you at a national convention on live television for your contributions to a political revolution, you smile. Bernie's face wasn't an accident.
[QUOTE=elfbarf;50793019]Bernie always looks upset though[/QUOTE] If that's what you want to believe. He's smiled at things that have made him happy before, or people speaking well of him. He didn't do that here, and I doubt he didn't do it for no reason.
Bernie also broken down into tears during the roll call He knows whats going on but is too stubborn to do anything about it
[QUOTE=-nesto-;50793048]Bernie also broken down into tears during the roll call He knows whats going on but is too stubborn to do anything about it[/QUOTE] To be fair, it was his brother speaking about his dead parents and their humble upbringing, and his brother was crying as he spoke. Anybody would.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;50793048]Bernie also broken down into tears during the roll call He knows whats going on but is too stubborn to do anything about it[/QUOTE] It would be a strategically dumb move to speak out about her, despite all of the scummy shit she does. Fuck dude, you have to keep in mind that he is seeing all of the fucked up shit they are doing to suppress his supports literally RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. That has to be killing him. And he still wants to at least make sure his party adopts some of his ideals. It's shitty, but it's the best thing for him to do, I guess.
Our first female nominee has already set such a great example, glad that she was the first of all the options we had.

Why Clinton's Acceptance Speech Proves Bernie Will Win
Citizens United is one of the things I do genuinely like about Hillary, and I don't think she'll flop on it either because she has reason to oppose Citizen United
So she wants the Supreme Court to expand voting rights? To who? Felons or Illegals?
[QUOTE=-nesto-;50793091]So she wants the Supreme Court to expand voting rights? To who? Felons or Illegals?[/QUOTE] Both, probably.
lmao she's stealing Trump's platform now. CHINA BAD
[QUOTE=-nesto-;50793091]So she wants the Supreme Court to expand voting rights? To who? Felons or Illegals?[/QUOTE] Reference to the overturning of sections of the Voting Rights Act
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50793087]Citizens United is one of the things I do genuinely like about Hillary, and I don't think she'll flop on it either because [B]she has reason to oppose Citizen United[/B][/QUOTE] Such as preventing anyone as corrupt as her from raking in millions of dollars from corporate investors and special interests in the future, establishing herself as the permanent ruler of the Clinton Dynasty until her death? I love that people actually give Hillary points for co-opting Citizens United into her platform after having used it to get elected in the first place. It's really great, she gets all the benefits of Citizens United, then once she's elected and no longer needs it, she can get rid of it and pretend to be a good person! Brilliant strategy!
i admit the odd minutes joke made me smile
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50793087]Citizens United is one of the things I do genuinely like about Hillary, and I don't think she'll flop on it either because she has reason to oppose Citizen United[/QUOTE] How is the candidate who took millions from Super PACs [B]in this primary[/B] not going to flop on Citizen's United? She already flopped. She already took their money. She's going to need more for the general election.

[QUOTE=patq911;50793130]to be fair superpacs aren't controlled by candidates, they may help her, but it's illegal for them to collude.[/QUOTE] Correct the Record used legal loopholes to do exactly that. Content posted online is exempt.
Oh Christ, Hillary talking about how much the Military likes her and what she has done for it is actually disgusting. Vile. There may not be a voting block in the US that despises her more than them.

alright that was a good burn. "a man you can bait with a tweet is not someone who should have nuclear codes".
The "Dont Give Him the Launch Codes" spiel is so fucking pathetic for any candidate to pull
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;50793129]Holy shit, what are you talking about? She can only be president for up to 8 years.[/QUOTE] Wow. I guess this explains why you were so easily convinced Hillary actually cares about Citizens United. [QUOTE=patq911;50793130]to be fair superpacs aren't controlled by candidates, they may help her, but it's illegal for them to collude.[/QUOTE] In the real world, they collude. Anybody that thinks millions of dollars are poured into a candidates pocket without some sort of contact is like, light years beyond naivete.
BIG BAD EBUL NRA Christ. Actually lying on stage about not wanting to take away guns. Fucking shameless.
