BS One thing that has happened we recv'd $3.5 mil, in the days of Superpacs, these individual contributions ppl want us to go forward. We are an underdog. HRC ran here and won. This is their 4th campaign here in NH. PPl have seen the work I'm doing, We started this 50 pts behind HRC with little name recognition. We have come a long way in 9 months.

and here is another def
Religion is a cultural system of behaviors and practices, world views, ethics, and social organisation that relate humanity to an order of existence. About 84% of the world's population is affiliated with one of the five largest religions, namely Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or folk religion.
fyi many buddhists and hindus are atheist, and their religion does not preclude that.
i really don't think this is a major area of concern for dems and indys, the people most likely to vote for either dem

(16,974 posts)Zen Democrat
(5,901 posts)Hillary is pro-prison industry and pro capital punishment. She's always been a "tough on crime" and "three strikes you're out" kind of politician. Those are deal breakers for me as a Democrat.
As to comparing the candidates objectively:
Hillary is a progressive on social issues, and a centrist on economic issues.
Bernie is a progressive.
Don't be afraid of opposition. That would be fear. And we don't want any of that around.

(4,387 posts)...at least, I think that's how these things work. Either that or he'd have to have a policy statement out there somewhere. I just tried to find one for you with no luck. Sorry...but if you did ask him, he'd most likely answer in a straight-forward manner.
