Re: 2016 Presidential Election Thread
The Bernie people have been violent as fuck the past month or so
Bernie has disavowed people acting violently at his or others' rallies, they are not 'Bernie People' and definitely not "The Bernie People", as there is no such thing. I have yet to hear Bernie say "knock the crap out of those protesters" to an audience of thousands, but guess who did?

Wasn't a very strong disavow....

Perhaps, but it's still miles and miles better than actually calling for violence, like Trump does.

I agree, but the Trump people haven't been very violent at all, especially compared to these protesters.

That's a fair point. But you're not voting for the protesters, you're voting for the candidate. I don't care too much about the temperament of some random yokels at a rally (I'll be the first to condemn any violence of any kind), I care very much about the temperament of the future president of the nation.

So Bernie and BLM activist have been protesting, assaulting and destroying property at Trump rallies from the start. Trump, out of frustration, conveys the very relatable sentiment that someone should punch these people in the face, because they're not interested in discussing ideas, just shutting down any thought that doesn't adhere to their warped views. And you still think Trump is the bad guy in this.
I never hear about red necks or young conservatives shutting down speakers they disagree with or blocking traffic. For fucks sakes, there was an article on the front page of yahoo today calling the arrest and prosecution of a black woman who assaulted police while they tried to arrest someone who dashed and dined, as racism trying to halt BLM protest. This is the absurdity of the left in America. Don't use reason, logic, or fact. Just shout down those who don't agree with your utopian view and call them bigots or racists.
Re: 2016 Presidential Election Thread
I'm against Bernie and pro Hillary, but I think it's unfair to call these assholes Bernie supporters. He has condemned their actions including disrupting Trump rallies. These people are not democrats, they're wannabe socialists and anarchists. They couldn't have helped Trump more if he paid them. They are the fringe, just like the outright racists who support Trump. Don't act like they don't exist and it's all liberals. They hit, pushed, spit at, maced, intimidated people also.
I'm also against Mexicans waving and striking people with Mexican flags, it doesn't say to me a desire to assimilate, not to mention burning American flags.

But they were chanting Bernie, Bernie, Bernie in San Jose. Bernie is the one that is starting a "revolution", not Hilary. None of them are yelling Hillary. When you have a revolution there may be some violence I guess.
