There's no such thing as a "do nothing" centrist, only the hardliners do nothing. My way or the highway isn't accomplishing anything.
Baby boomers accomplished everything that's made your life possdible. Show me the great contribution of millennials to the country.
And please stop saying people are against immigrants. You can be anti illegal immigration and pro immigrants.
I honestly don't know where you get your news, man, but I'd try a different perspective for a while.
Ok fine...he's as much a Democrat as Rand Paul is a Republican...
...Okay. Expect Rand Paul is a registered Republican subject to party rules.

I guess this just doesn't matter that much to me...he caucuses with Dems and votes with them almost all the time...

He's had 6 or 7 campaign staff indicted over it, as well as his own lawyer in Cohen. He's likely going to pardon Stone, he fired Session & Comey and latest 2 or more DNI & Intelligence heads. There's been others, but the point is that the crimes are all around him like a moat, but he keeps firing & replacing with his own people to coverup & deflect.
Did "fake news" end democracy?
There's no such thing as fake news. There's just stuff you like to hear and stuff you don't.
The Covington kids was Fake News. Purposely showing edited footage to fit a narrative is fake news.

EVERY news sources does this...this is America....this isn't new...it's just getting more embellished....more exaggerated...but it's not fake. Please don't kid yourself that any news network is better than the other...they're in the ratings game...just like anything else on TV.

Bernie wants his cake and eat it to. Become a Democrat or stop using the structure to your advantage.

That's why I've asked repeatedly...to which I've received no answer...if he can somehow pull of the magic of becoming a Democrat and not alienate any of his followers....what does that do for people?
Either way...doesn't matter to me....

No, that's exactly what fake news is. Saying a kid is intimidating an old native American, when the grown man gets into the kid's face, banging a drum to antagonize and harass him... Is fake news.

And so is talking about the 'great' economic numbers and low unemployment while saying for years these numbers were meaningless...

What answer are you looking for? If he did he'd have to play by the rules, share his money, info and not contest the convention. He's not going to do any of that.

It's actually different, one is deliberately manipulated to ruin a kid's life for political gain by members of the media, the other is a guy running his mouth.
