Big Business and the Rich have rigged it just right for them and they're more organized and of course well funded. That's hard to overcome. Plus Bernie knows how things work and should've known the constituencies he was gonna need in order to win. I don't believe he originally expected to have so much support and that he never thought he'd be so close to winning and wasn't fully prepared to do the things needed to actually win it all. |

I am not making these comments based on emotions, these observations are backjed up with hard data. If you don't blame them you should. Centrists Democrats have done more damage to the American Middle Class than any other type of political wing or movement, bar none. They have made speeches and lined their pockets with corporate money while pretending to defend our interests. Kudos to the republicans for at least holding true to what they believe in. I don't agree with any of their positions but I don't fault them on being self serving hypocrites. They are self serving in a different context but they are open and belligerent about it. Centrist democrats for the most part are a lying, cheating bunch of scumbags. Now that doesn't mean all of them are like that. Obama for one stood head and shoulders above a lot of US presidents and wasn't motivated by power or self interest. But I can't say the same for the Clintons. And to think this centrist filth will try to get complete two faced @$$holes like Corey Booker nominated for President makes my blood boil. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

Trump should be considered illegitimate for SO MANY reasons, from bias to cronyism to nepotism to self-dealing to outright corruption to incompetence to sexism/racism/xenophobia/homophobia...and on and on. But Lewis' comment was about the election more than about Trump the clown. In terms of your statement regarding the media (and Hollywood "elites), the shift to bias happened after the introduction of cable news. Now it's expected that cultural elites on both sides do what they can to influence outcomes. But that is NOT true of the FBI and certainly has no equivalency to foreign spy agencies using illegal methods to smear one side. That is illegal and treasonous. Comey is now a political operative for Trump. How disgusting is THAT! Un-****ing-believable. And YOU support this shyte? On basketball you're so much smarter than this post. Here you sound like a Trumpian moron. Sorry, calling it the way I see it. |

So they created this desire from the public due to their pricing which created Bernie's possible solution of imports. The public unlike corporations aren't trying to just manipulate the laws and the system strictly for profit but out of necessity. Also how did these Pharma companies get the funding to research and develop these drugs? And also why were only the ppl who personally profited off of Pharma vote no if its not logical. Yet there were Republicans who are notorious for being pro big business and way less caring about the American public willing to vote yes. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

What is your basis for not trying to smooth this out with another foreign power house? Oh Nevermind. The mainstream media, not the incoming administration, is dictating to you how we should handle foreign relations. Got it. |

They proceeded to act up and at this point don't deserve to be treated like an equal partner. What have they done for Trump to be treating the Russians like they've been good actors on the world stage??? He's a F'n stooge for Putin and anyone who is going to simply ignore all of the bad signs from Trump's refusal to say anything negative about Putin is a FOOL. Open your F'n eyes!!! There's something really wrong about Trump and Putin. |
