I kinda miss Bernie Sanders. Being a social democrat, I think he would have been the best choice. Despite him being yet another over middle-aged white man.
He is dead as a doornail......if he had any guts he would put Hildabeast on the spot for her thoughts on his supporters....Trump was right about Bernie.....weak as piss.

Being "yet another over middle-aged white man" is not an issue for me. I simply want the person with the best ideas, and I don't care if they're white, black, male, female, 35, or 75.I kinda miss Bernie Sanders. Being a social democrat, I think he would have been the best choice. Despite him being yet another over middle-aged white man.
Although I'm not voting for Hillary, I'm still voting for a woman. I'll be casting my vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party.
Bernie backed off Hillary and endorsed her at the convention to ensure he would get some of his policy positions included in her agenda. And while I believe it undermined everything he had fought for during the campaign, I get that he was trying to be pragmatic. Even so, he told his supporters that Hillary would have to appeal to them if she wanted their vote. This was before she had clinched the nomination.TomParks2016 said:
Ted Cruz was a staunch anti-Trump guy, and wouldn't even endorse him at the convention. However, he's since changed his tune too.
Stein wanted Bernie to take the green party nomination....I think he made a mistake not doing it.

I agree. He had built up a lot of support during the Democratic primary, and could have potentially used that to his advantage on the Green Party ticket.
As much as I like Jill Stein, she just isn't well known enough to have a viable campaign. On top of that, the debates are designed to keep out candidates that poll under 15%. Because the debate commissioners are members of the two major parties, the rules are designed to keep out third party candidates. Had Bernie run as a Green, he certainly would have polled beyond the required 15%.
Trump vs Bernie would have been the best thing to happen to this country, in theory.. Two anti-establishment candidates would have opened the door for several third party candidates in four years.. If Hillary wins it will be same old- same old..with no end in sight.. I am voting against the establishment in hopes for real change in the near future..
Good point! I forgot about that. With a 3 way race it could have been pretty damn close
If the choice would have been Bernie or Hillary I would have picked Bernie no questions asked. Trump isn't perfect but when Hillary wants to kill some guy with a drone strike that's it for me

I don't see why it makes Bernie weak. Cause he knows that if he ran against Hillary, he'd steal enough votes from her to make Trump President. And he's sane enough to know that's the worst case scenario. So it was good of him to back out of the race, knowing that he didn't win the Democrat nomination. I would have done the exact same thing. Better lose with dignity and try to avoid a catastrophy than to be selfish.
But I would have applauded a President Social Democrat.
