Yup.  I just about went crazy when they started talking about what a hero FDR was

Once I saw this, I started rabidly chuckling to myself.

Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on December 23, 2015, 09:05:20 PMA couple days ago I had the shocking realization that I'm going to be able to vote in the next election.  I most certainly will not.
As someone looking forward to voting, this makes me sad/angry. >_<
And the moral of the story: Quit while you're a head.

He did, you know, help us recover from the Great Depression (by closing down insolvent banks, creating thousands of decent jobs to help do things like plant trees and put out forest fires, and establishing labor laws including the minimum wage and labor hours).

he did all those things in parentheses, but none of those things really helped get out of the great depression.  He just took credit for it.
He also put all of us into debt

Don't be too sure about that. I remember back in 2008 and Hillary had a huge lead over Obama for a majority of the election season. Anything wouldn't surprise me.

With biden not being in I would be surprised if Bernie won anything.

I mean I'll still vote for whichever dem makes it tho.

This whole election is pretty much a choice between the less of two/fourteen evils imo

Generally, when textbooks (or journalism in general) are historically accurate, they are framed as "liberal" by wackjobs.  It is highly entertaining, but also moderately sad for the poor state of mental capacity such a large percentage seems to be in.

But then again, when has it never been about the lesser of two evils?

Dude

Unless you actually want a certain person to win I guess it wouldn't be but that isn't the case for me this election.

Why would anyone even want to be president anyway... Seems like a shitty job.

This. Keep in mind that Bernie has more support now than Obama did at this same point in the election of 08.

Eh, I'm really nervous that Bernie is the Trump of the democrats though. Like he'll get to the last stretch and won't be able to beat whatever republican is up because of 'Murica's socialism phobia.

Except on actual policies, opinion polls show that the American public (including many republicans) agrees with him on just about every issue.. Also, he isn't saying stupid shit just for media attention. And his hairstyle is slightly better XD

Unfortunately, just showing that people's opinions line up with his does not mean people support him. FireArrow is right to some capacity. If you throw the word "socialist" around enough, it'll scare off plenty of people who don't really grasp what that means. I think Bernie would be a pretty good choice, but he would be a risky candidate for the democrats whereas Clinton has a pretty good chance of beating Trump and rivaling the other likely republicans.
