If you live in a Red State you'll just be wasting your time because your vote won't matter.

So I shouldn't bother, right? That's terrible advice.

I live in a bluish state though.

If you think Clinton's in this for the people, she's not. She's in it for herself. Don't trust this woman.

She's already been in the white house for 8 years.

what makes you think anyone is not in the race for themselves?

There is a choice. Your attitude is the problem. Clinton was the front runner 8 years ago, and then Obama came along.

Sanders is the better candidate, and polls repeatedly show he will attract more independent voters than Clinton.

It would be a pleasure to vote for him, as I will in the primary.  However I will vote to keep the country safe from republican-fuckery whoever the candidate may wind up being.

Don't get me all excited for nothing.  If he wins, refucklicans lose.  Yippee.

Bernie doesn't seem to be in politics for himself, just look at his record as a mayor and senator. That and he's actually running his campaign with individual donations and refusing to accept money from Super PACs.

Honestly, as a right-wing libertarian, Bernie's politics and my own are really different, but if there's one thing I think politics needs more than ideological policy, it's honesty and integrity, and Bernie is the most honest politician in the race.

Yeah, he really is a good guy.

Right, and that's what this country needs right now. A good guy who actually gives a shit about the people in this country, and who people on both sides can relate to, because the Democrats and Republicans can't compromise on anything anymore. An independent who can unite them as much as possible would be a very good thing indeed.

As if the billionaires would ever allow that to happen!
