New Hampshire Democratic Debate - (2/4/16 - 9PM EST)

[The Watcher]

I'm most intrigued by the SC appointments to be made in the next 10 years..If Bernie makes it to a second term then there's a solid shot..one Sanders term won't do it. The upcoming president may be the most important president for the next 25-30 years barring an anomalous series of events

This is my single issue vote during this cycle. I won't even bother getting into the dirt about Hillary v Bernie because it doesn't matter who says what about being president, if there's no support in the SC, nothing will move forward. It's not even about being progressive, it's about not wanting to be regressive.

I don't know what about Hillary makes you comfortable.

This is the meat and bones of your post so I'll just respond to this.

I've told you what about her makes me comfortable, it just doesn't make you comfortable we have differences in opinion it's all cool man. I've listed out things I see as positives, you literally see no positives with Hillary, I think that's about as far as we are going to get on that. Now if you want to keep arguing about why she sucks and trying to convince me she is the worst person alive, I'm sure @ThreeLetterAgency would be more than willing to take you up on that

Bernie isn't perfect, Hillary isn't perfect. All I'm doing is finding the positives and negatives they both bring and trying to be open minded. I didn't have an agenda against Hillary before this election cycle and the little I knew about Bernie before this I was cool with so I don't have a bias either way.

Im 2/3 issues, that being 1.2 being a teddy roosevelt type aggressiveness against conglomerates/corps 3..campaign reform..make it completely public. each name of a voter is public with receipt of vote. then each campaign could individually count them as a check and balance. there needs to be more checks and balances in vote tallying because it is very easy to rig through domination of small precincts which give a disproportionate amount of delegates and through big city urban election purchases via contracts with machines that count the votes. there was a huge red herring when the machine had its only directive of 1 vote per person changed to some mysterious decimal algorithm that can be fudged. that machine tallies 67% of the votes in the country...that basically leaves 1/3 of the votes to be actually accurate within margins unless there is an unforeseen turnout. thats why the world is rallying against bernie and trump on both ends. its disgusting

and to add..i like bernie more to serve as prez in terms of appointing presidents..but i have a hard time seeing how trump wouldnt be the best option on the republican side. if his main criticism is that hes not a conservative but actually a liberal..and a good amount of statements indicate that..that provides me with safe assurance that trump would be fairly neutral and reasonable in his appointments. i think his whole thing is going to be running on advantageous compromise...putting in 3-4 right wing loons would not be in the cards under trump. id say hed go strong with border protection, protect roe v wade much more aggressively than any republican by far and otherwise not give much of a fukk outside of economic perspective from a young justice. i think he'd also limit patriot act expansion and is probably the only one left in the R field that wouldnt hand the country's privacy overtly over to the NSA. im fine with trump making the choices on the SC. hes obviously the bully pulpit personified..which has its advantages in narrative control for appointment priorities..but he will be taken down, again on both ends, as being divisive to the country for not going down the line on appointments

I'm not for pure socialism at all. And I honestly don't think Bernie is either. But what we have in this country is barely capitalism. I feel that moving more toward socialism would help us out a lot.

I think Bernie whooped Hillary's ass last night and the only time he looked off was foreign policies, where he mostly spoke in rhetoric and had nothing really concrete to say. Hillary was way more polished in that segment. Every where else it looked like he had her all over the place.

I do agree that Hillary could probably get more done in the White House than even Obama did through her relationships, but that doesn't mean anything to me if I don't like or agree with some of the things she's gonna do.

Finally, I don't see how Hillary is more electable in the general than Bernie, I feel like that's what everyone said when she ran against Obama too. I think whoever comes out of this primary will win easily cause the repubs way too out of touch to the fabric of what this country is becoming. The shift in ideology between Americans in their 50s and those in their 20s is night and day.

He isn't he is for social democracy.
