Realistically Bernie Sanders is pretty much already out of the race though.
Bernie Sanders has at least driven a for-the-USA Far left-wing agenda a lot further than most folks ever thought it could go and raised a lot of good questions and made a lot of good speeches and points so good on him for that. He would have made a great first Jewish US President and has earnt and deserves a lot of respect. He’d also make a good Vice-Presidential pick I think.
But its now pretty clear that the Democratic Party candidate for POTUS is going to be Hillary Clinton and its time I think to unite behind her and ensure that we don’t get Trump or even worse -- if thankfully much less likely now -- Cruz running the United States of America with all the horrible implications that has for our planet.
StevoR, what’s with your “we”?
(Leaving aside your record at prognostication, you’re not an American!)
Everybody on the planet has to live with the POTUS -- that’s part of the thing about being the world’s only superpower. We don’t get to vote, but we still have to deal with the consequences.
Dunc, I respect the Americans’ right to self-determination, and as an outsider, I’m not about to exhort people to vote one way or another.
As for POTUS, I’ve previously noted the position is not that of a monarch of yore; there are plenty of checks and balances.
I also respect the Americans’ right to self-determination, but that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to have an opinion.
Yeah, well… if you can’t vote, your opinion is just an annoyance to those who can.
As for StevoR’s opinion, well. I suppose even he can’t always be wrong, naive and stupid as he may be.
(Me, I wouldn’t be too impressed with Americans who told me how they think I should vote)
You are also entitled to your opinions, however worthless and annoying they may be. However, if you’re going to criticise other people for expressing opinions which are, in your worthless and annoying opinion, themselves worthless and annoying, we run the risk of a stack overflow due to infinite recursion.
Dunc:
Does not your evident hypocrisy embarrass you, O critic?
That was the whole point, John. However, I didn’t bargain for your legendary combination of literal-mindedness and lack of self-awareness…
@2. John Morales : StevoR, what’s with your “we”? (Leaving aside your record at prognostication, you’re not an American!)
Neither are you.
And like you I’m human.
Hence my use of ‘we’ here -- Trump would be bad for humanity as a whole, the pale blue dot and all aboard it.
Fixed.
