Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 26, 2016 Members Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) ^Yup, I read about the whole thing when it first occurred. The only thing I didn't know about were the divisions between Dawson and Ferrera. Makes me wonder whether this is emblematic of a growing schism within the Latino community or is it just relegated to certain highly politically active individuals? I have know of two people both Puerto Rican who support different candidates- one HRC, the other Bernie Sanders. The one who supports HRC only yesterday mentioned someone unfriending him on Social Media and I'm pretty sure it is due to his oblique criticisms of Sanders' policies. I haven't asked who it is but it makes me wonder whether it is the friend who is a Sanders supporter (lol).

Members Juliajms Posted March 26, 2016 Members Share Posted March 26, 2016 Just when I think this election can't get any stranger. Somehow it's even more amusing to me that it might have been Rubio reaching out from beyond the grave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 29, 2016 Members Share Posted March 29, 2016 Susan Sarandon should be ashamed for this Naderspeak. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/susan-sarandon-bernie-sanders I hate that "bring about the revolution" type of talk. You won't be affected when "the revolution" happens. Many, many people will be. Badly. Disastrously. Fatally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted March 29, 2016 Members Share Posted March 29, 2016 Charles Blow just tore her a new one on his Facebook page. (For those who don't know, he uses that as a sort of vlog.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 29, 2016 Members Share Posted March 29, 2016 Good for him. I read that she was a Nader supporter in 2000. People love to talk about how his supporters did nothing to cost Gore the election, yet we are back here with this garbage 16 years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted March 30, 2016 Members Share Posted March 30, 2016 I voted for Nader. It is the biggest regret of my political life and has affected every vote I've made since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted March 30, 2016 Members Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's still amazing to me how Trump is the GOP front-runner. The media's take on his "being an outsider" is not the only driving factor here, as he is getting the majority of votes in the primaries. Have evangelicals embraced him? Why? How? I just can't get my head around it to save my life. I can say, if Trump was running on the Democratic ticket, I would be voting "R"s down the ballot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted March 30, 2016 Members Share Posted March 30, 2016 I can't either. This whole thing becomes more insane by the day. Now he's saying he wants to ban abortion and punish women who seek out illegal treatment. I'm sure that does appeal to Christian extremists. I've seen some people saying that Trump doesn't really want the nomination, which is why he keeps saying more outrageous things every day. I don't buy that at all. I think he does want the power and isn't in it just to build is brand or whatever. What really annoys me is that even though he's not likely to win, he's damaged our country while lining his own pockets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 30, 2016 Members Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) I am inclined to agree with one of his former staffers who wrote something for xojane - he never intended this to go this far but his ego and pride won't let him stop. He's loving it too much. He has no real interest in the responsibility, he just loves the attention and prestige. And now, he's babbling about an abortion ban and "punishment" for women.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 30, 2016 Members Share Posted March 30, 2016 I also thought this in the very beginning of his campaign but now I'm not sure whether he actually believes he can pull this off, the nomination at least. Trump's success on the campaign trail is an indictment of America's political system, its media and yes, the populace that insists on scapegoating immigrants and people who are perceived as being 'different' for the society's (i.e. their own) ills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
