13. Am I arguing for a change in delegate allocation? |
|
No. I'm pointing out she got more votes.
That's the truth, and nationwide, it's a salient point when trying to convince superdelegates.

16. Actually she is still losing in the popular vote nationwide, so what difference does it make. |
|
By your own system she still loses.

a problem with the 'rules', until this Primary Season. What is it about this year that is so different from those that came before? Oh yeah. Hillary is losing.

4. i keep trying to put on the MSNBC streaming video |
|
and every time I do, they are talking about some dumb bullshit, and still trying to say Hillary can win the primary altogether. I just dont' fucking get this. This is the first primary I have followed and I think it will be my last :eyes:

12. All they're saying is based on history. I'm sorry, but the first election |
|
I ever paid attention to was Jack Kennedy, and all the Dems were so excited about such a young, handsome guy actually getting the nomination, but when it came time to vote in the General, most of the youth voters had lost interest and were off doing something else on election day. I honestly don't think anyone is picking on todays youth. It's that they have simply not come through so many times in the past, it's very hard to ignore.

If you don't turn them on, you won't have to change the channel. ;-)

28. they WANT you to be unreliable. |
|
They want the status quo to go unchallenged. Their livelihoods are based on maintenance of status quo.
They fear what can happen if the 18-29's get active.
As a member of the 30-40's, I say do not let them tell you what you are!
