Ya even if Sanders doesn't win I really admired his campaign. It could've been pulled off even better imo but I think it's gonna have an impact on future elections. Same with Trump though.

He isn't going down without a fight though!

You do a really good job at implying things.

Sarcasm is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

I'm implying that this "golden age" Trump keeps bringing up is bull****. Sure the wealthy white male was doing pretty good for themselves, but any other gender or race?

I'm not saying that Trump will bring back segregation. I'm saying that America has improved a lot socially.

Idk why I need to explain this to you  

thing about trump winning is that there's finally gonna be someone who's not in either of the parties. the US really needs it, this whole 2 party system is stupid and polarizes both folks and their representatives.

Ya but once elections end no one really gives a **** about how things work until we're at the elections again. And by that point it's to late.

I liked Sander's campaign too, and I'm glad he's staying in the election. He's constantly growing, even now. Sadly, I don't think it will impact future elections. It's just like John Oliver said; we care about it right now since we're in the midst of the election, but we probably won't care again until the next election is already amidst. And as he said, you don't change the rules in the middle of the day. Trump even said that since he won, he doesn't care about how the primary is rigged. I think both campaigns brought up important issues, especially with the election process itself, but I sadly doubt change will come about because of it.

Just read this after I did my post.  

kinda strange how that one state called "New Mexico" (with the highest % per 2000 population of Mexicans) was extremely violent during those protests last night
true revolutionaries, shouting "**** the police" to get their brilliant message across

I especially liked the part where they were throwing bottles and rocks, jumping on cars, and starting fires
don't worry though, MSNBC and other American media will play it off as them "expressing their humanity"

they're the victims, always and unconditionally
us privileged Americans should see no issue in paying taxes for the 21 million illegal aliens that are getting free benefits

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T...

it's actually sickening how SJWs and American media try to brainwash us when it comes to multiculturalism and race issues
that first officer in the Freddie Gray case was acquitted and it's immediately "RACISM, WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL!" except it was a bench trial with a black judge

can't get more ****ed than this
Donald Trump isn't a perfect candidate, but I appreciate that he acknowledges these issues and isn't afraid to be honest about them  

Violent protestors are the ones who undermine the real issues. And yea, people play the race card too often, that again, it undermines the real issues. I'm pretty sure the police involved in Freddy Gray's death are at-fault, though. The entire system when it comes to discipline and trying police in court is flawed, so them getting away with something happens fairly often. Although, it's incidents like Michael Brown that undermine the real issues when they wrongly call that scenario out for racism and flawed court systems.

Every media outlet has bias; you just need to be able to identify it and interpret it from there. I see some Fox News broadcasters like O'Reilly say they're "fair and balanced" and then you watch the show and know that slogan is total bologna. I find it humorous that violent protestors at Trump rallies are just considered "violent protestors" while protestors at a Hillary Clinton rally are stated on the news as "Sanders supporting protestors". It's the subtle things that really show the unconscious and conscious bias in the media.  

I like trump because hillary sucks and bernie will put us in 47 billion dollar dept "college for free?!" No

Improved a lot socially?

Here you are, ragging on and on about white male privilege and how its a huge problem meanwhile there are actual problems out there other than a couple of rich billionaires who by the way, may have made their fortune without being white or privileged.

If you never said Trump would bring back segregation, why do you think everything is going to be bad when he possibly gets elected?

Why even mention segregation in your previous post about Trump?

Why am I even trying to explain anything to you when its just going to go back to the same BS argument?

I said white privilege was a huge problem. I'm trying to say the golden age of American history is every day onward.

They have a right to be angry, ngl. Trump pissed them off by calling them "rapists, drug dealers, thieves" at the start of his campaign, so I don't know what else he (or any of his supporters) should expect. If you piss off a majority of the minority, expect at least one of them to be angry.

To be fair he called illegal immigrants that. But **** context amiright?

I'm not saying people don't have a right to be angry, because they do. And they're justified at that. But there is no justification for physical violence, attacking the police, damaging cars, property, etc. Those are the kinds of people who deserve to be in jail. It doesn't matter what Trump, or anyone else says. It doesn't give them, or anyone of any race the right to harm property or others.

As with the "free benefits" thing... I mean, it's true in some ways. Their lives aren't great. They aren't rich. No one said they were. But it's true that people are living off of government benefits. That hinders their own lives, and America as a whole. The government should provide programs, temporary benefits, job search, and more for people going through economic struggles, but simply giving them money with no help or requirements for them to try to improve their own lives is bad. It's like with homeless people. I don't give them cash, since I don't know what they'll buy. However, I would give them coupons for meals or something like that. The gov. shouldn't blindly give money to people who do need money, because people recognize they do that and abuse it. The gov. should focus more on services they can provide, rather than paychecks.

He said it about "the people Mexico are sending over," implying they are allowing illegal immigrants to pass the border so that they don't have to put up with them (in the case of criminals). Statistics show that he's correct:

Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant criminals are being deported. In 2014, ICE removed 315,943 criminal illegal immigrants nationwide, 85 percent of whom had previously been convicted of a criminal offense. But that same year, ICE released onto U.S. streets another 30,558 criminal illegal immigrants with a combined 79,059 criminal convictions including 86 homicides, 186 kidnappings, and thousands of sexual assaults, domestic violence assaults and DUIs, Vaughan said. As of August, ICE had already released at least 10,246 criminal aliens.

Majority or not, there are a large number of illegal immigrants coming in through Mexico that are criminals.
The way Mexicans prove him wrong is by committing criminal acts during protests? If they're such great people, why don't they just go through the legal process?

As for what they did, well, I don't see how "**** the police" is any worse than calling multiple women "fat pigs" on national television.

I do... Calling Rosie O'Donnel a "fat pig" was not a criminal offense and didn't endanger anyone's safety, unlike shouting "**** the police" while throwing bottles and rocks at them...
Why point out that she's a woman? If I called you a fat pig, no one would highlight the gender specifics of it.

Trump came in and said "Mexicans are rapists! Mexicans are drug dealers! Mexicans this, Mexicans that!" Yeah, okay, cool, but at what point is any of this being "honest"?

Nah, you're race-baiting again. There's a reason people come here from Mexico illegally. He did not say that about every Mexican, but you guys want to paint it that way to continue to incite people against him. Trump has never singled out any Mexican that has come here through the legal process and told them that they're bad or wrong.

"Free benefits" yeah I bet they're really living it up in America. Their lives must be fantastic. It's almost like they never had to leave their own home country in order to even have a chance at a better life.

Not our problem. Mexico needs to take care of itself. They don't get a free pass to break our laws just because Mexico isn't the greatest place to live. The same goes for the Middle East. The US doesn't have to pay for the failures of these countries through illegal immigration. It's not my family's fault, so we shouldn't have to be paying for it.
