Super Tuesday

It's a tad disingenuous to count super delegates quite yet. If Sanders wins more state delegates, the dens would be playing a dangerous game using super delegates to override the popular decision. Not saying they won't do it, but it wouldn't be the smart move, since Clinton is already a controversial figure, and the accusation of gaming the primary would be easier to,stick on her than really any other candidate.

My opinion is that this election has already deviated too far from the script to predict. If I had to place a bet it would be for a Hillary vs Trump general with Trump taking the prize, but it wouldn't be a comfortable bet. It won't surprise me if any of the top five candidates running right now at least make it to the general.

I'm a little different, but I don't act too far out of line.

are you okay?

I wouldn't expect it. She's a major political figure that has money, she'll never be thrown in jail. The worst that could happen to her would be a hit to polling numbers.

@Keyguyperson

Let's hope they catch her in a ponzi schemes. Rich folk only allow their own kind to be imprisoned when they catch them scheming other rich folk.

It's mostly cathartic though. Sure, we all be peasants for the most part, but everyone eats up politics because it gives them the feeling that their problems aren't just some complicated doom they have to be faced with, but that there is some easy change they can make that'll improve everything if they can just get that change past the opposing side. And that's fine, because even if most people have a simplistic view, the world can be changed and it isn't a bad thing that people make an effort to effect that change. It sucks some people can't grow up and separate their political views from the rest of their social lives though; I know plenty of conservative people, but our political differences don't strain our relationships. If I think a person can't handle a disagreement, I don't bring up the subject.

That being said, don't get caught in that trap where you think the truth is this hidden nugget always found in the most safely unbiased place. It is true that biases exist in the teaching of history, though if you go to higher education you will most likely get the closest thing to a truth that history can possess (some teachers might try to spin it, but the hardcore focus on histiography dampens the effect quite a bit). The reality is that sometimes, the truth is biased. Truth surely as hell seems to be biased against fascism, for instance. The middle ground isn't always right just because it is emotionally safe.

And wryte a bok betwen the tweie,
Somwhat of lust, somewhat of lore,

See, that shit's way better, even if I can't read it. Better than "Put a feather in your asscrack because that shit mean confidence and girls will straddle your face more often."

Incorrect. Their is still mud slinging, just not that at each other. I think I mentioned in this forum already Bernie is running a moderately clean campaign, against a pretty easy target. But I also don't think for a second, once its down to the final two, that their wont be more ads attacking the other side then just explaining their own policies...

@SleepingSilence

The Clinton vs Trump line-up seems to be the one we're going to get. That'll mean Trump's bombastic mudslinging personality vs the claws-out attack mode the Clintons like to practice. With the primaries having already turned over some juicy stones, that fight will be a knock-down drag-out. People are already cynical and disgusted with politics, so it'll be interesting to see what the general response is. Though, I suppose, the viciousness of the thing might force people to take sides, curing what damage Sanders has done to Clinton's viability among progressives, and what damage the Republican party's tepid response to Trump may cause for his viability among conservatives who don't already support him.
