Literally dead, one of the most ridiculous statements no shade. No workplace should determine or influence your political views directly, it should be down to the person entirely. And accepting money from an employee doesn't mean you agree to that companies policies or ethics, people shouldn't be lumped together like that. There's no reason to believe an employee holds the same political views as their boss.

I never claimed that your workplace should determine or influence your political views, I don't care where an employee decides to put their money and faith, I care about what type of money candidates accept to receive. People working for Chevlon know what their corporation is doing to the global atmosphere and they willingly work there, that's fine of course - my issue is with the type of money a candidate accepts to receive from these employees. Because yes, in a country where corporations are barred from donating to political campaigns, questioning the donations sent from people who work for these corporations is totally fair, especially when thousands are being poured in. I also went on to explain that that wasn't even the main issue; Hillary further receives considerable sums of money from fuel shareholders, powerbrokers, lobbyists and other individuals in power working for the industry and for the special interests of their field. I wouldn't have raised a single eyebrow if she was just welcoming hundreds from oil technicians and engineers. There are federal barriers on corporations directly funding candidates in the United States, therefore it is only fair to examine contributions from people who work for, own, control, and have connections with these corporations, with different standards depending on their positions, of course. I'm sorry that you're wrong about my statement being allegedly 'ridiculous'.

I hope Trump will do great today so he'll be the Republican candidate for sure. So done with that pathetic Cruz. Can't wait for him to destroy Hillary too.

lol you're ridiculous. I don't give a **** who you support, but you're the only one in this thread who is a troll because all you do is try to rile people up with fake and misconstrued statements and see what happens. Even Queen Sasha >

Sorry sweetie, like I said, an opinion can't be wrong. Sorry you're sorry about being wrong.  |
The entire essence of my claim isn't even about average employees donating ordinary sums of money to campaigns, and I have explained my stance on that with my 'eyebrow' remark. I don't know why you're still talking about that.
I'm sorry you chose to avoid the largest proportion in my claim (and the only dimension that matters) about monstrous campaign money being contributed to Hillary's campaign from shareholders, lobbyists, powerbrokers and such, even distinguished administrators, employees and operators with thousands of dollars of contributions. I'm glad I'm in-tune with how campaign finance is judged and associated with every candidate's stances, record and actions.

How are they the only troll in your viewpoint? You have been consistently calling other people 'trolls' as well.

I'm pretty sure you've accused Sasha of trolling before, maybe Marvin or Javan too?
I'm saying Mr. Grey isn't the only one you perceive as a troll on here, and I don't think we need to be labeling him as that for standing against Clinton!

Never Marvin or Javan. Only Sasha from that group but since she doesn't use this thread anymore I didn't include her in the "you're the only troll in this thread" statement.
When you make up things and misconstrue facts and that's all you do to get certain negative reactions then yes you're indeed a troll regardless of who you hate or like, full stop.

His email questioning was fine, especially after bringing up the hacker argument. The transcripts argument is something that has been called out by even some of her biggest backers like Senator Gillibrand, and her only Democratic opponent this cycle, Senator Sanders. The donor argument was great in my opinion, initiated a good debate afterwards and it touched on her getting big money from fuel figures. Many people are still pissed over her superpredator comment, but I do get that it has run its course.
I'm sorry RatedG, but labeling the above as the "only troll" and not Jolie's sexist and racist remarks or Giselle's false sexism accusations of others, "Bernie sucks" and "#BerniesExpulsionParty" comments is beyond belief. People can have disagreements and raise legitimate arguments against the candidate you support.

Sanders is really delusional... Still preaching GE polls, which are irrelevant, and the last one I saw had them with a 1pt difference compared to Trump. He really needs to drop out after today.

He won't drop out until he feels that he has nothing else to achieve. Even if he lost all 5 today, with the way his campaign is talking about things I don't think he'll drop out  .
I don't care what he does as far as staying in/dropping out I just hope he knows the best way to make sure a democrat gets elected in November whether its him or Clinton

I edited the title, bit then I realized that with the liberal usage of the term Super Tuesday in this cycle, 6/7/2016 could still count too so I was just honest with it

This can't be real 
You are the only one talking about average employees choosing their jobs, you're the only ones talking about average employees not having the luxury to choose between jobs, you're the only one talking about people's donations based on their employees. Your responses are entirely irrelevant to my allegations.

I will not be going any further with this, we're talking about completely different things.

I had a dream that Donald and Hillary got invited to an Air Force base to run along some Wipeout type thing and I got to do it too, and they organizers gave enough time between the two of them so they wouldn't fight but they ended up catching up with each other right in front of me and started yelling at each other THEN DONALD HIT HILLARY AND THEY GOT IN A CAT FIGHT and all the while I was filming it for Snapchat and then we all got kicked out
