    And this is why the Democratic Party has no soul. We can fret about the GOP, but it has people with souls. Trump reveals it has people without souls, but all political parties have that. Consolidation behind Clinton reveals the party is devoid of a soul. It lives only to win and to wield power mercilessly with tyranny.

    Our system will not be revamped in a positive manner, because victory encourages emulation. Will the GOP be further encourage to act like the Dems and become completely soulless zombies backing any crooked politician who can win for them? That is my concern about this election. The GOP will become the Democratic Party.

        Jill Stein is a fucking nut. Bernie is consistant Jill Stein is an embarrassment.

            Something that outrageous is probably fake. You should learn to use this website.

            A report that Democratic VP candidate Tim Kaine threatened to ban the Catholic Church from the U.S. if they didn't change their stance on gay marriage was fake news.

              Anybody focused primarily upon wealth redistribution is a nut, so the nuts should have her. Bernie is also nutty as are his followers.

                  People have claimed the Mikkelsons are not as impartial as they let on. (Most traditional outlets view them as reliable).

                    I will be dead and gone, but if HRC and the dems take control I wouldn't doubt the story will be fact for Catholics and mormons in the next 20 years, perhaps sooner.

                    Would you remind JL and everyone on here I just believed something 20 years too early when it is fact.

                        That would be cool. However, I am going to be cremated and spread over a golf course. I won't name it because I don't want to cause another fight between me and the lower class.

                          It won't matter. Just register before you die, and there will be a absentee ballots sent your way that we can fill out.

                              Bernie's followers have a better grasp on policy than Trump's. The man is incapable of articulating a policy but people worship him. I'm Bernie's followers also have a better grasp on foreign policy than Gary Johnson himself.

                              I mean this sincerely and not angrily but I don't get you Topper and the rest of the folks in the "Hillary is as bad or worse" camp. And it has zero to do with me being a Democrat. I get why people are conservative.

                                According to my Aunt, you should immediately stop trusting Snopes. It's run by Canadian liberals who have been proven wrong. She recommended another website when someone was dumb enough to fact-check her with Snopes, but I forget which 'non-partisan' site she recommended.
