Intimidation has been a tactic of the Far Left and Far Right for decades.

But will the Democratic party stand its ground and not give in to the demands of the Far left? The Republican party has been taken over by crypto-fascists...will our Democratic party be taken over by the extreme left?

I believe in Capitalism. Capitalism is what made our Country what it is today, a beacon of freedom and opportunity.

As much as we dislike the Republican party, we still have to work with them to get things done.

I think most people that have their heads screwed in right will know that the American public and the Republican party would be more open and receptive of a $12 dollar minimum wage rather than $15.

They would be more open and receptive to working towards making the Affordable Care act better and expanding Medicaid even further.

Furthermore, after what President Obama went through, and all of the accusations of "Death Squads" and that his secret plan was to make America a "Socialists utopia". Are we to believe that the American people would turn out in droves and elect a Socialists in a general election?

I'll admit it...I'm a filthy capitalist

But I also believe that there would be safety nets and taxation to support these safety nets.

I support Hillary because she has the most realistic liberal proposals that can get through congress. Hillary would also be a strong leader when it comes to foreign policy. If she were a war-monger like most talking points indicate, then the rest of the world wouldn't be as supportive of her. There's a reason why our allies love her.

She is by far the most qualified person to be President.

She's prepared, her proposals are realistic and specific and she will get things done.

Because she's the only candidate in the race whose policies even exist in the same universe as math.

the Bernie Bros hit a new low. This has gotten WAY out of hand. Please remind me in what meaningful way radical SBS supporters differ from Trump supporters.



And their candidate does zilch to stem this crap. Absolutely zilch.

am and always have been a big Hillary fan! (Of course, I am old enough to know first hand Hillary's history of fighting for Democratic causes, being a pioneer for women's rights and championing children's causes.)
