I'd love to be more educated on this so that I could be 100% confident in my opinion but it's harder as a foreigner. But I must say, I think Bernie seems like the best candidate for you all. I'd love to have a leader like him in the UK instead of the absolute shadiness and lies we have now

Wait @ Sanders making 200K+ a years then claiming he's one of the poorest in the Senate

You tried that one

Most foreigners seem to agree

Bernie may be "one of the poorest in the Senate," but the common folk image he implies with that is a bit rich considering he makes six figures and Jane made six figures while she was in education.

Probably because many of us live in the countries which already have the types of changes he strives for, which we know are possible and needed

I feel like a lot of these atrlers just support (or rather stan for) her because she's a woman

I think Hillary will flip Louisiana in November

Possible elsewhere =/= realistically possible in the current U.S. political climate.

The second statement is gross, especially since you just admitted not knowing much about either.

Same! Possibly Arkansas and Georgia, too.

Though, while on the topic, supporting Hillary for the advancement of women's rights is completely reasonable.

??

That doesn't explain why I was an Obama supporter in 2008 against her. I don't care that she's a woman. I care that she's better than her competition

Is anyone here familiar with Turning Point USA? And by extension is anyone familiar with any leftist groups I can bring to campus to counteract their efforts?

Oh god. There is a senator in our student body government that is a part of that group. The. Most. Annoying. Person. I've. Met.

As for leftist group, all we have is College Democrats (it's mostly Bernie supporters)

When I saw that, I thought the same thing..... but then I remembered that I have no idea how much senators make. This is above average?

Mess you tried it with that first sentence though

Bernie is against suing gun manufacturer's (which he flip flopped yesterday but let's forget about that) yet that's the change y'all already have in he UK?

Hillary said federal minimum wage should be at $12 (yet in the UK it's about $10 in the highest age bracket) yet y'all have the changes already?

Gay marriage ain't even legal in all parts of the U.K. yet you wanna come for the US for being backwards?

Take a seat

USA is supposed to be the strongest country in the world, no? If it can happen elsewhere it can happen there. Completely possible with change.

Nnn, gross how? And with your other post, I didn't say anything bad about woman's rights, or even Hilary being possibly a bad leader, I just said that Bernie seems better Rule number one to me seems to be that a leader should be trustworthy. I have viewed this thread many times, and whenever I do it always just appears to be a similar group of Hilary stans defending her like some pop girl going through a controversy. Just drawing parallels here. And duh, but where is an attempt to enlighten me?

The possibility of it hurting small business is a common and viable concern that many have. Sorry, but I do have concern for the mom and pop shops in places like Montana or Idaho that already have a hard time paying their employees. I don't think that makes me o
like a "lobbyist" (which was a really silly thing to say, I'm tired of all the buzzwords). And there's also the issue of inflation.

I'm not on board with it.

The Inflation effect on minimum wage hike is a little low. If I wasn't on mobile I would insert that graph that shows inflation adjusted mininmum wage. If a minimum wage hike increased inflation so bad that made the increase irrelevant, then that graph would be a flat line. That logic would imply it is impossible to raise the inflation-adjusted minimum, but it's not as evidence by historical analysis.

Lord, the anger and defensiveness

I was referring to college and health care, which from what I've seen seem to be his points which come up the most often. I assume they must be unique to him? Don't know about this other stuff. Like I said, I'm trying to enlighten myself. And, well, y'all aren't particularly helpful with this stan mindset
