That's the lie that the right wing keeps pushing in order to discourage people from voting.

It matters.

A lot.

I almost pity that pinhead Trey Goober if he thinks a confrontation with Hillary in front of the press is going to go any different.

Two or three Supreme Court justices.

I wish Bernie was a Huey Long but alas...

Probably not, but it's the non thinkers who determine elections.

You are probably right, but see Post #41 anyway.

During an interview on ABC's "This Week," host George Stephanopoulos asked the 73-year-old Vermont senator if it's really possible for someone like him to be elected president. Sanders, who identifies as a democratic so************************t, announced his White House run last week.

"Well, so long as we know what democratic so************************m is," he said. "And if we know that in countries, in Scandinavia, like Denmark, Norway, Sweden, they are very democratic countries, obviously. The voter turnout is a lot higher than it is in the United States. In those countries, health care is the right of all people. And in those countries, college education, graduate school is free."

When Stephanopoulos said Republicans were likely to jump all over Sanders for saying the U.S. should be more like Scandinavia, the senator said he has no problem with that.

"That's right. And what's wrong with that?" Sanders said. "What's wrong when you have more income and wealth equality? What's wrong when they have a stronger middle class in many ways than we do, higher minimum wage than we do, and they are stronger on the environment than we do?"

"The fact of the matter is, we do a lot in our country, which is good," he added. "But we can learn from other countries."

Tax loopholes for instance.

He didn't say we do anything good in this country, he just said it was good that we do a lot.
