UK's expected response? To break international law and to continue to detain him in the Ecuadorian embassy... It's quite incredible. The British government has spent almost 13.8 MILLION pounds on this siege and no one says a word, but let in a few hundred refugees and the whole nation erupts in protest about wasting their tax money on them.... Damn, this guy seriously stepped on the elite's toes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US actually tried to hijack Bolivia's presidential plane! Not only was that an act of piracy, but under international law an act of aggression against all of Bolivia.

BioHazard 10 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 They are determined to make an example of Assange it would seem. The UK government will continue to break as many laws as necessary in keeping him detained until the US tell them it's ok not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,602 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yeah that Trump vs Hilary going to be comedy gold. And you know what? A lot of people are truly wanting Trump because they believe this guy will do what he said. I personally like Cruz because he's Christian but he ain't winning against Trump. Trump got everything going for him. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how he holds out now most of the conservatives will back Marco Rubio. The gap in his wins should start shrinking. I want a Republican to win but I'm not sure I want Trump. But I'll choose Trump over any Democrat anytime, anywhere. I heard the mayor of London wants England to leave the EU. That's a game changer if he's giving it his all, it'll be interesting to see the commotion caused by this lol ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Trump I would appoint Marco Rubio as my vice president. This will help with the Latino vote, since Trump has done a awful job about this since he started. To win the presidential nominee he needs some support of the Latino vote, and I see Rubio as Vice President getting him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 This guy is spot on with everything he says about Bernie Sanders and perfectly explains why he won't win the minorities vote, and hence has no real chance for the nomination.

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. He's not pandering to black people so they won't vote for him? He's not winning the southern states cause they are conservative and always vote red. This is the truth behind Hiliary Clinton and black people. I don't know why that guy didn't bring up any of these points. Also, Bernie's territory is in the northern states. Not the South. He has a chance to win the nomination and the minority vote. Bernie has supported minorities since the civil rights movement. He marched with MLK ffs.

That is what Choulo posted about, and he's right. Sanders, living in a white area, never had to court minorities so he's failing. I think progressives are doing their own cause a disservice trying to convince a segment of the population that a woman who has fought for, and been involved with, the black community for decades is an enemy for making a statement a bunch of people agreed with during a time where black leadership supported tough on crime measures.

Bernie has supported minorities since the civil rights movement. He marched with MLK ffs. That guy is a Hiliary supporter through and through. Of course Hillary cares nothing about minorities and black communities, her husband created mass incarceration ffs! Hillary only cares about her big money donors. But she's a traditional establishment politician, you can go door to door to every black voter in the US and show them that video and it won't affect her. Bernie VERY clearly has a black vote problem and it's not about those who voted for Hillary but more about those who didn't vote at all. That's where he failed more than anywhere else. He is supposed to be a candidate for the disenfranchised and those who feel voiceless; that is what the idea and rhetoric of Bernie Sanders is all about, but he has not run a campaign to match that. Call it pandering if you want, but if Bernie is saying he's running a 'movement campaign' for a political revolution then he needs to come down and actually penetrate communities and particularly black communities, not just universities. And he's done nothing of the sorts because he's insistent on running a traditional political campaign. And the reason Bernie hasn't called her out on that video is the same why he has pulled sooooo many punches since the start of his nomination. I read an article a month or so ago (which I can't seem to find now) about the most used phrase/sentence by each candidate in debates. You know what Bernie's was? "I agree with the Madame Secretary"! Wall street aside, he's been weak and did not attack Hillary on many of the major issues. Particularly on foreign policy where he could have murdered Hillary on Libya and Iraq but instead has tried to play on two ropes and ended up not saying much at all. He sounds sooo weak on foreign policy. And that's what the guy in the video (who most definitely is NOT a Clinton supporter, btw) was saying. That a progressive campaign, unlike traditional political campaigns, needs to be built on principles and to strongly hold progressive views on all the issues from Wall Street to civil rights, to surveillance to trade agreements to environmental concerns to foreign policies regarding Gitmo, the drone campaign, Palestine/Israel to human rights....etc. In short, from the start Bernie has been afraid of running a truly progressive campaign and calling out Hilary for her neoliberal politics and that has clearly hurt him with a lot of people on the actual left and particularly in black communities.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Can we just agree, all these candidates are shit? I've stopped subscribing to party politics, but Jesus, none of these candidates have any redeeming qualities that would make me vote for them. Really wish Michael Bloomberg jumped into the race, would have given him the nod i think. kellzfresh, Spike and 11Drogba 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to move out of the States when Trump wins tbh. I think he's better than Trump and Hillary who look to be a lock for the nomination. And yeah, I've become very disillusioned at the current state of United States. Trump has tapped into that xenophobic sensation around the country, and it is only adding more hate and bigotry to an already straining race relations situation in this country. It's become clear to me this is what America was, is and will be. It's crazy because I do want to see change, I'm tired too of the same neo-liberal policies, supply side economics, Patriot Acts 1 AND 2, and prevalent corruption in the form of "lobbying". And I'd love to see that change come about, but Bernie's socialist ideals won't get passed by either party, and it's already quite clear he won't win.But I'm not THAT desperate for change that i'm willing to vote for that Trump, neither am I willing to vote for Hillary Clinton and her pandering ass. She doesn't deserve the AA vote at. all. Yet stubborn democrats believe she really has their best interests at heart because she hit the Nae Nae Fuck. Off. Here's a brilliant article on the Clinton's and the AA vote: http://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/ Just gotta finish college, then plan on GTFO of here.
