Are People Being Distracted From a Larger Issue?

Submitted by Phoebe Loosinhouse on Tue, 06/07/2016 - 10:01am

Hillary has always been the presumptive nominee, that was the whole point of lining up all the superdelgates in advance of any primary in the first place - to clear the field and scare/warn off any upstart who might think they had some chance to run in an open election like we were a Democracy or something. It was/is Hillary's turn, most qualified person to ever run in the history of the world, a "historic" ceiling breaking nomination, yada, yada yada.

2016 and Beyond (Of human relationships and motivation to action)

There may be several reasons why humans are only capable of having personal, (and not simply casual), stable and interactive relationships with a maximum of about 150 people at any given time. And while Dunbar correlates this to primate physiology (brain size), my own personal belief is that it's a matter of Psychic Survival.

My Bernie Sanders Digest - Abridged

Submitted by tomrinaldo on Sun, 04/17/2016 - 11:25am

I've been writing about Bernie Sanders and his quest for the presidency all year. I've written a lot about it actually because I think this race is so fundamentally different from others in our recent history, and so critically important for our future. As I type these words the 2016 New York Democratic Presidential Primary is just days away. As a citizen of New York State myself, I will soon be casting my own vote for Senator Sanders, a man I believe in strongly.

Game on!

Sanders has apparently had enough and has decided to state the unvarnished truth: Hillary Clinton is in the pockets of the special interests, helped get us into a senseless and illegal war, and is therefor unqualified to be President of the United States. My thoughts exactly. A more specific case can be made against Clinton and I'm sure Sanders will be making it soon.

Since I can't post over there.....(maybe someone will steal this post, reword it a bit and post it over there for me hehehehe)

Well, I'm sure many people would have a lot of input on that question, but I'll limit mine to analyzing her policy stances from her website. The first of which on my radar is healthcare.

PREFACE
I tried not to go there, but "slipped". I can't post over there because I got banned, so I'll rant here. This is supposed to be targeted to the idiots over at TOS who are slamming Senator Sanders, so when ever I say "you or you people", I really mean those fucking idiots over at TOS, so please understand I do not mean to demean my fellow C99er's.
