TextRecycling the same old ideas homing the next generation would be dumb enough to buy it.

What do the Republicans offer? give the rich enough tax breaks and you poor folk will get good jobs? eliminate the EPA because protecting our ground, air and water cost the rich too much??? Unions are the problem!

They do the same thing, hoping the poor folk will believe it.

Why is this a binary issue? You don't have to vote for any of these clowns.

Why would anyone WANT Bernie's supporters? For the most part they are ignorant, uneducated people under 30 that haven't worked their whole lives to put anything into retirement. Most of his supporters are just looking for free stuff at the expense of working people.

That's because the ones that can get a decent paying job can't put any money in savings due to crippling cost of a college education and the ones without that education are finding it difficult to obtain those higher paying jobs.

For being uneducated and ignorant, they understand that redistribution of wealth doesn't mean taking your money from your pocket and putting it in mine like Repubs like to go on about. It's about taking the money that we ALL are already giving the government and instead of spending trillions of dollars on failed fighter jet programs and giving money to foreign countries so Fat pockets Republican Oil Company owner can go to said country and bleed them of their oil to fatten their pockets even more. Instead, redistribute that wealth to aid our own people, aid our own country, fix our failing infrastructures.

What's so hard about understanding that. The current generation does not have the luxury of paying a few thousand bucks for college and working at the local gas station pumping gas to pay for that. Everything cost SOOO much more than it did for the previous generation. Just cause maybe you did it, other parents did it, doesn't mean we have that same opportunity. Put yourself in our generations shoes and start over with no job history, credit, or education and see how you fair in today's economy.

Are you sure about that ? I'm a 52 yr. old, college educated woman that has worked since I was 16yr. old and I'm a Bernie supporter and many of my peers are also. My 21 yr. old nephew has informed us that many of his peers at UCLA are also Bernie supporters, you know those "slacker" kids that never worked hard at anything......my nephew also has worked since he was 16 yr. old. .......Hillary and the DNC also underestimated Bernie Sanders and his supporters and if nothing else we forced some important conversations and shed some light on the corruption in Washington. Oh and you know what, we used OUR own money to support him too !

To answer the OP's question, No, I will not vote for Hillary or that dummy Trump. I do not believe Bernie will ever agree to be Hillary's VP, in fact if he did I would seriously have to reconsider my support of him to begin with.

(Raised hand) here too. College educated healthcare worker, upper middle class, 12 years military service. I just want my taxes to be spent on things I and others like me can benefit from, rather than making fat cats fatter. Not that hard to understand. I agree with Sanders, America's problems are political corruption, a rigged system, overpowered corporations and banks.

Apparently trump supporters think America's main problems are that we care too much about people's feelings, workers want to get paid too much, and we put up with too much sht from Mexicans and Arabs. Hm.

And then there's Clinton, who can't put 10 honest words together, and will say anything to get elected. What an ambition whore.

What?

Personally, I know no Bernie supporters under the age of 30.
All of them have jobs.

Ignorance is being given facts and ignoring them...

Consider the source ML. You could fertilize the entire corn-belt with the crap some people spew here. Most of my friends --- 50yr olds plus --- are Sanders supporters as well. All work, all are well-established upper-middle class, all are college educated. But we've been around the sun enough times to know that the established systems clearly doesn't work and the underpinning of our society are circling the drain. We stopped believing in the establishment's promise of a magic wand a long, long time ago.

sANDERS SUPPORTERS WILL END UP VOTING FOR HER, WATCH.

Bernie is supporting Hillary.

He is obeying the DNC party line.

I expect his followers to fall in line soon.
