      I saw the domain and was expecting something like "filthy liberal nerds stunk up the entrance of Comic-Con with a 'spontaneous' rally for known Communist (and worse, Democrat) Bernie 'Antichrist' Sanders around an image of the socialist, a friend of Barack Hussein Obama, attempting to murder successful job creators and great philanthropists Charles and David Koch. Breitbart.com contacted the Clinton campaign for comment, but Hillary maintained her silence on Benghazi - what is she hiding? Buy gold."

      I'm pleasantly surprised that the article wasn't an incredibly obvious hit job!

      You'll continue to see an increasing number of Conservative media sources give publicity to the Sanders campaign.

      They see it as weakening Clinton and giving them a better chance to win in the general. They would much rather face Sanders than Clinton.

      Don't let the seemingly balanced article fool you. Breitbart is in the business of promoting Republicans. It's pretty obvious what they're trying to do.

        "whatever wackjob opponent he's got" I think the name you are looking for is Donald Trump.

        [–]WhyDoesMyBackHurt 306ポイント307ポイント  (81子コメント)

        There's no fucking way he will be the Republican nominee. He's just the opening act trying to rile the base, get their rabble juices flowing.

        See everyone keeps saying that Trump is like a secret shill, who's acting so over the top crazy and racist so that he'll make the rest of the GOP candidates look good in comparison... but then Trump soared to second place in the polls.

        [–]crushendo 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

        Right, and I cant find where he differs from the party mainstream, other than the obvious lack of tact and spin. He's actually more liberal than many, isnt he for single payer healthcare and against free trade agreements like NAFTA and TPP?

        [–]carmanjello 45ポイント46ポイント  (20子コメント)

        Seriously, I'm seeing a lot of memes on my Facebook feed from my conservative friends which of whom are "buying what he's selling."

        It's kind of scary.

        [–]digital_end 25ポイント26ポイント  (1子コメント)

        I feel for the Rep's. Well... I mean that in the way I feel for someone who tries to kick a dog and falls off of something, smashing his balls on a guardrail. Kind of a "That has to hurt, and I empathize with the pain... but you kind of did it to yourselves" type of thing.

        But for anyone remotely sane in the Rep camp... holy shit the current state of things has to suck.

        Here's hoping they finish crashing and burning soon, so you can get a sane replacement for that broken party and be properly represented.

          A surprising number of Democrats think that Bernie Sanders is a secret Republican trying to weaken the Democratic party by being a weak candidate.

          I guess they've both been playing a very very very long con game their entire lives.

          [–]originalpoopinbutt 8ポイント9ポイント  (5子コメント)

          I mean, it would seem that, like Trump, if Sanders goal is to appear crazy and extreme to make the other Democrats look better, it's not working because Sanders keeps packing stadiums for his speeches.

          [–]fosiacat 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

              He's there to make Bush look like a moderate with his Latina wife.

              [–]mrpoops 17ポイント18ポイント  (3子コメント)

              Its almost blatantly obvious. Bush is the party big wig choice, he is who they want. Notice his response to Trump on twitter after Trump called mexicans rapists. The GOP wants that hispanic vote and they see Bush and his wife as the ticket to that demographic. They'll lose in 2016 anyway.

              [–]Z0di 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

              I feel like Clinton vs. Bush is what the corporations want. So... I'll be voting for Bernie for someone who isn't Clinton or Bush. We don't need another war in the middle east.

              I'm still registered as a Republican and Rand has likely lost my vote so I might vote for Trump... in the primary. The Republican Party seems so far gone now that I think its time to sink this ship.

              [–]akci 36ポイント37ポイント  (4子コメント)

              Or you could switch and vote Bernie

              [–]PrinceKael 8ポイント9ポイント  (6子コメント)

              Why has Rand lost your vote? I don't live in the U.S. but if I were to vote it would be either Bernie Sanders or Rand Paul as they seem to be the best two candidates for individual rights and freedom however they're extremely different on economic policies. One being more libertarian and another more socialist.

              If Gary Johnson were running I'd totally vote for him if I lived there.

              [–]frogsrbetter 14ポイント15ポイント  (4子コメント)

              Rand has gone off the deep end on the military. Now he too thinks we need to spend even more money on bombs and shit. That was what I cared most about. Now the only benefit i see voting for Rand is that he wants to legalize weed and no other candidate does. Also plagiarism.

              [–]Fetacheesed 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

              I liked Ron a lot more than Rand. Rand strikes me as a lot less genuine and much more willing to follow the polls

              [–]frogsrbetter 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

              And thats the dilemma for him. If he isn't less genuine in this way, he probably won't get the big money and he probably wont win. But in compromising himself for this money/political viability he has branded himself in my mind as a power hungry weasel who will say whatever it takes to get the most powerful position on earth.

                      Trump isn't even conservative. He's barely a Republican. He has switched parties to oppose the President, whether it's Bush, Clinton, or Obama. He does whatever will get him the most attention.

                      [–]GaB91 35ポイント36ポイント  (2子コメント)

                      I wish more people on Reddit would realize this. He is the epitome of a 'say whatever to get what I want' person/politician. No one knows what his real opinions are. He has switched sides too many times.

                      [–]CrazyJay131 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                      Really though, back when Bush jr. was president, Trump was on the news calling him the worst president ever, mainly because of what his foreign and economic polices were doing to the US' global reputation. To be fair, he wasn't at all wrong. But it just goes to show the man will do anything for attention.

                        You can think your worldview is legitimate while also acknowledging that there is potential for other legitimate ones, or even further that you may be wrong despite your best attempts. Claiming your worldview is the only legitimate one is the mark of a weak minded extremist.

                          I think the divide here is a lot of us forget there was actually a conservative view that wasn't the destructive form that we've been seeing from the party for the last several election cycles. Much like how liberals elected obama for the second term more or less not because we believed his campaign promises the second time around, but because we saw him as far less likely to make things irrepairably worse compared to romney.

                          [–]AmantisAsoko 15ポイント16ポイント  (13子コメント)

                          I actually voted for obama the second time because I thought if he was going to make good on any of those promises, it would be during the last quarter of his second term. Most politicians faff about and do pretty much nothing controversial until they're about to leave office and feel like they can do whatever they want, and I wanted to see what Obama would do. I'm pretty happy with him only very recently for things like his public stances on LGBT rights, and the fact that they aren't just LG rights. I feel like he could have done better with the drug war, and I know he's done a lot of REALLY SHADY SHIT involving privacy, drone strikes, and stuff like that. I voted for McCain the first time. I plan to vote for Bernie this time.

                          I'm much closer to the green party than any other party, and I find both democrats and republicans to be kinda shitty.

                          Don't forget The Affordable Health care act. Say what you will but that program has already helped me and many people like me out of situations that would have been financially crippling a few years ago.

                          Only "kinda" shitty? They're all egomaniacs lining their pockets as fast as humanly possible. I wish that were hyperbole. My issue with Bernie is that despite his previous record I just don't trust a single one them. They're all practically lifetime appointees to Congress these days. At least, that seems the norm in the Senate.

                                        I wouldn't doubt that's usually the best option, but this one wasn't bad:

                                        "The corporate media is grossly underestimating the grassroots support for Bernie. No, he is not like Ralph Nader. No, he is not like Dean, or Paul, or Perot, or any of those from decades ago. People are really a lot more pissed now, especially since Citizens United, and they are ready to rise up."

                                        More people understand it than you think, and the low information folks out there know its about money, corporate influence and politics. They know its big money that probably isn't in their favor. When SuperPACs are pooling billions people notice.

                                        For anyone not in the know, Citizens United is an organization that made a hit piece "documentary" about Hillary back in 2002. They wanted to air their garbage on TV too close to her senate election, it was against law at the time and the FEC stepped in. The case went to the supreme court and they said that the FEC was violating Citizens United's free speech. That opened the doors for unlimited money becoming available to candidates through "independent" organizations. These SuperPACs can raise as much money as they want now and spend it on their candidate however they want, as long as it appears to be independent and not under the control of the candidate. Its fucked.

                                            Lots of conservatives disagree with everything Bernie stands for, but they know the dude has integrity. They hate Hillary a lot more than Bernie.

                                            I think the one major thing, next to the hatred of Hillary, that is attracting people from both sides and the middle is the fact that he isn't driven by money. He hasn't gone to donor conventions, kissing their asses for money for his campaign.

                                            Hillary is even going down on the Democrat side too, Republicans aren't alone on the fact that we progressives don't like her either. Probably for different reasons (some conservatives still drill her over Bengazi and emails, while liberals drill her over the fact that she isn't any better than the people on the right who also March for war and is bought off by rich donors from super PACs and donations)

                                            The more liberals who learn about Sanders, they generally start to support him over her.

                                            Republicans have been fundraising like crazy campaigning against "liberalism run amok" and various other flavours. They are fighting in their own primaries by competing for the title of most conservative.

                                            Certainly not an argument that Mr. Sanders will have trouble dealing with. I like that he is willing to publicly wear a word like Socialist, then go on to explain what a democratic socialist actually is, all of it without having to apologize or perform political gymnastics because of his own voting record.

                                            Who knows what will happen, but what a breath of fresh air he would be in the White House...

                                            Which he is completely wrong about. Bernie isn't a socialist, he is a social democrat. Everything he stands for adheres to social democracy, not democratic socialism. Actual democratic socialists are facepalming every time they hear this.

                                            He's clarified that in almost every interview I've seen him in by alluding to Scandinavia. It's a label which has been applied to him and he's not flailing around about it.

                                              I do actually agree with Bernie, but I've been trying to convince my conservative parents. I think it's better to vote for someone you agree with 60% and can trust rather than agreeing with someone else's campaign 80% but you have no idea what they really think.

                                              That really really depends. I strongly agree with maybe 50% of what Bernie says, but he has some policy choices that I can not abide that closely tie into one of the things I view as a growing problem in US politics, being the rapid expansion of the federal government. I cannot vote for him solely on the grounds that he is very radically federalist. I am vastly more uncomfortable with him being federalist than socialist.

                                              I think you're using the term federalist incorrectly. In contemporary usage it means someone who is pro 10th amendment and states rights. I think you are using it to mean someone who is for a stronger and bigger central government, which is literally the opposite meaning. It's a very understandable point of confusion since the term kind of swapped meaning.

                                              I would quibble with the suggestion that the federal government is rapidly expanding - in most metrics it is stable or declining over the last decade, including headcount and spending. It's actually somewhat impressive that the federal government has maintained that dynamic given the growth of expenditures in social security, medicare/medicaid and discretionary defense spending.

Bernie doing well damages the presumptive democratic nominee and, at least in their opinion, forces Hillary more leftward thereby increasing the GOP candidates chances in the general.

And they seem to lean, opinion-wise, more Libertarian than card-carrying Republican.

A bunch of random idiots telling us their opinion isn't the news. The sad thing is, many of the more respected news outlets out there seem to have forgotten they aren't blogs.

It is a question of degrees, and Breitbart is an outlier. It's an aggressively-stupid site, regardless of ideology.

Maybe some people were, but most seemed amused or tickled. The lady dressed as Leia was really cute in an "I'm over 50 and i can dress up like Leia if i want" kind of way.

There's nothing close to what he's trying to portray going on here. Sanders is a significantly different candidate to what we're accustomed to, and he's leading a fair campaign with honesty and without vitriol. I have no idea what you could honestly find so terrible about this guy.

                                                                                                My guess is he's from the right and doesn't like leftist politicians being popular, so a person running for president of the United States (an extremely important role warranting mass publicity) gaining mass publicity on Reddit is "worship". Ridiculous.

He has some weird ideas about taxes and securities, but my biggest problem with him is that he's a completely unrealistic candidate. Here's my reply from elsewhere in the thread:

                                                                                                Dude I'm pretty hesitant to hop on the bernie sanders band wagon. There's so much left that he hasn't even touched on. Sure he's got some nice ideas about social issues (although they're a tad idealistic, I mean he hasn't suggested a single way that he could accomplish them, just that he's going to change things), but what is his foreign policy? How is he going to deal with minority issues? I mean vermont is nice and all but it's just about the most homogenous state in the US and I don't think they really export anything internationally. The guy literally has zero experience in most areas that the president has to deal with, especially compared to Bush who was the governer of Florida, and Clinton who has been the senator of NY and the secretary of state. Compared to all of his competitors he's underqualified, underexperienced, and not to mention old as fuck. If he gets elected he'll be pushing 80 by the time he gets out of his first term (which would make him the oldest president in history). Presidency is a high stress job that takes a toll on people. Just google before and after pictures of two term presidents, it looks like they aged 20 years in the span of 8. If I'm being frank, I'm not certain that Sanders would survive four years in office, which means that he's going to need a damn good VP before I'll even consider voting for him. I hate to rain on the Bernie Sanders parade but lets be realistic. A 74 year old self proclaimed socialist from Vermont is not going to win the presidency. The only reason it seems like he has a chance is because reddit's user base is predominately in their teens and 20s so there's a skew towards ultra liberal idealistic candidates.

                                                                                                [–]iky43210 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                                                But don't worry about the details. It is simpler to just listen to the rhetorical.

Also I don't think Bernie is going to get the nomination honestly. Hillary has more support in the polls right now, and he complete left making it very hard for him to even win the election even if he gets the nomination.

We almost never see positive stuff about most Republicans, even when they talk about issues Reddit generally agrees with, such as privacy. Rand Paul got a couple articles after a filibuster on drones and another on NSA Spying. That's mostly it.

                                                                                                  [–]Fix_Inequality 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're trying to appeal Obamacare for the 50th time? As you said, when they post stuff redditors agree with, it gets up voted. When you have Ted Cruz calling net neutrality Obamacare for the Internet, you're not going to get a lot of support here.

                                                                                                        The major problem is that he is up and front about himself.

                                                                                                        He is a democratic socialist and accepts the title so that goes using the title as a insult..

                                                                                                        He doesn't have any major questionable donors, cross that off the list.

                                                                                                        He doesn't have any really scandals or questionable acts to argue about.

                                                                                                        Also his jump in popularity has really blindsighted Hillary and the Republicans, since I highly doubt they expected him to become this popular.

                                                                                                        [–]hell___toupee 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                                                        All of his top donors are labor unions. If you're someone who thinks labor unions have far too much political influence, that makes him pretty damn questionable.

                                                                                                        [–]Braver_Incident 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

Bernie is a socialist. That makes him a bad candidate. Republicans are cheering him on because his nomination by the democrat party would hand the presidency to the republicans on a silver platter.
