I know but people say the same when Hillary does stuff with Katy so I saw it as fair game

MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid Horrified By Sanders Supporters "Throwing Dollar Bills" At Hillary "As If In A Strip Club"

First, the "Democratic *****" and now dollar bills are being showered on her as if some stripper? Let's also get into how money is being wasted when there are plenty who're struggling, yet they're tossing around real money like it's a monopoly game. So done! It's even worse that WOMEN are participating in this degrading act.

It's truly shameful

The longer this goes on, the more disgusting their behavior becomes. It should come as no surprise, though, from the "participation trophy" generation. They don't handle losing very well at all!

Bey Admired

If Hillary was a man, she would not be held to such an incredulously belittling standard.

I truly believe sexism plays a MASSIVE part - implicit and explicit, conscious and subconscious.

I can't believe any reasonable liberal would deny that.

I'm not american, and I'm not well aware of the whole hillary sanders situation,,, BUT as far as I see promo and whatnot I feel like people are switching to sanders and that he is going to win

You see at first i was confused. I saw this earlier today or yesterday but didn't post it here because I didn't understand the whole throwing dollars thing. But if it's like his then that's sad. Imagine how Hillary must feel to be attacked simply for being a woman. It must be so ****ing degrading and humiliating

I mean, possible but you might be surrounded in social media where Bernie's support is overexaggerated.

She's won so there isn't really any reason for her to care about it. Just keep being gracious, kind, and leave the anger for the GOP.

Because this isnt an album campaign or a perfume launch its the freaking election for the president.

For example: one of the cashiers at work says hes voting for Bernie because he thinks the government is corrupt so if he votes for Bernie "at least he will get free stuff out of it"

It infuriates me tbh

I think maybe we should look into nuclear energy again if you want to completely get rid of fracking and coal. Wind and solar would not be enough.

Nuclear power is our best option at this point. It employs like thousands of people while they're built and running and produce massive amounts of energy without releasing CO2. France gets like 73% of their power from nuclear and they're looking into building more plants. America's largest nuclear power plant is in AZ and it provides 4M people with electricity.

My biggest concern about nuclear power is that uranium isn't a renewable resource either. A poster on ATRL linked me to an article stating that proven reserves would only last about 100 years, at best, and that's with the current demand level. If we increase usage, then it would be shorter. I'm going to try to find that article.

Please don't peddle the notions that a) the Green Party is an exclusively environmentally concerned entity [it's not, and I'm a registered Green Party voter after switching after I supported Hillary in the caucuses] and b) that any of those concerns would not be addressed by a government also concerned with the environment. We have plenty of government to go around to target these issues and we can expand it further.

How did you find the local Green Party? I don't think that was even an option for me while trying to register.

The Clintons are really serving some House of Cards drama, aren't they?

Let me stop reading now before I get any more confused.

You know all of that is smoke and mirrors? Especially Vince Foster. There has been like 4 independent investigations about that. All of them concluded it was a suicide. These "scandals" have about as much weight as Obama's birthed conspiracy.

Over half of the states have voted and Hillary has a demanding lead in delegates and pledged delegates, and Hillary is about to have a win streak because the upcoming states strongly favor her. Hillary is going to win the nomination. You can't base predictors strictly off of amount of promotion. This isn't a pop album.

Can someone please answer my question which I always post

Why the candidates only focus on NYC and don't go to Buffalo, Syracuse or Albany? It's because 40% of the state population is on NYC?

This is haunting me

Oh I'm so sorry. I saw this the other day but thought someone responded.

The candidates only focus on NYC (well not only but mostly) because most of the voting population is in NYC. If you win NYC by some margin you are about 80% of the way to winning New York (just gotta also do well upstate).

NYC is also the most diverse. For a candidate like Clinton she needs huge margins in all 5 boroughs to offset any upstate prowess Sanders has over her (even though latest polls show they are tied 50 a piece upstate).

It's just like my state (PA). The key to winning is running up a margin in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh while doing relatively okay in the middle of the state (and Harrisburg).

Well, in Iowa, we can currently register as Green Party on our official forms due to past performance in state elections, if I recall correctly. However, as far as local infrastructure and actual meetings or members, it's basically died off here - almost no activity in like 6 years. I'll likely be essentially restarting it in this state if I keep going the direction I am now.
