Okay so you can't tell the difference between communism and Democratic socialism. Hint hint the rest of the Western world has been using Democratic Socialism since the 80s at atleast. Us in Canada have been following that since the late 60s.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I don't keep up with politics much but am surprised to see Hilary is still a serious consideration. Didn't think she would be after the scandal.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Every time the right offers up presidential candidates I feel like this is an extremely elaborate practical joke. The rest of the world laughs on.

I did a survey some years ago, and the questions were all graded and evaluated to yield the candidate you should be supporting.
Much to my surprise, Biden turned out to be the candidate for me.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

About the emails. Wasn't she using a private email account to do government stuff? It's illegal.

Hillary's complicity with the vast right wing conspiracy working against her continues to be the mystery of the fucking ages.

Oh shut the fuck up. You have no clue what he or his supporters mean by "Socialist". It is not the cold war bullshit sold. Teddy, if alive today would support Bernie, he too was pro labor.
And after WW2 we had heavy taxation on the rich, and heavy investment in public projects, like highways and phones and electric grids. And unions are why we have child labor laws, workplace safety standards, and a minimum wage. The modern GOP, is looking to destroy all that and it started with the deregulation of Reagan.
If any form of socialism, condemn the socialized tax breaks for the rich the rest of us have to make up for and the socialized losses we pay for when the rich gamble with our economy and fuck up.

If you take a European viewpoint, the other side stands for an even more discredited ideology. The one, America fought some 70 years back. The repub field comes pretty close. They're not in the Hitler region yet, but they're giving Mussolini and Franco a run for their money.
