The entire problem is no one who could have won besides hillary was in the race.


Are you talking the primary or the general?


Both.

I am entirely convinced the primaries were only as close as they were in the first place because it was a two person race and the 'not-clinton' was as strong or stronger than the 'yay bernie'

I've long believed that Bernie did the Democratic party a disservice by saying "i don't care about your damn emails." that was going to come long and hard in the general election (and apparently a year later, ugh) and he stopped it from being an issue early on. it might have even won him the nomination, who knows.


He was never going to win. Not beating up Clinton is what he should have done. I guess the argument is that if we had had that argument all the way out in the primaries that they'd have been dead as an issue by the general. But i just dont know if thats true.

The entire problem is no one who could have won besides hillary was in the race.

Joe Biden should very probably be President right now.

I think the real elephant in the room here is that destroying the environment so that Americans can be better than everyone else shouldn't be any more okay than destroying the environment for the sake of personal profit.

Of course if your view is that current regulations fail to prevent the environment from being destroyed then this comment doesn't apply, but that's not how I'm interpreting what you're saying.

System is set up to hurt American business. Not to prevent pollution. Perhaps displace same pollution. Perhaps increase pollution elsewhere. Not to prevent pollution.

That is not a logical approach to the issue.

I agree what you describe is not a logical approach to the issue. My expectation is that this is not an accurate description of how the system works, but since I really know extremely little about how the regulations actually work I should probably step back from the debate at this point.

It is better to control production and find ways to make feasibly less pollution. How much pollution was staved off when coke batteries started recycling coke oven gas to run the process instead of burning it off into the air and using natural gas to fuel the operation?


This is why it's better to self-regulate.

Guess what happens if you don't?

You get harsher standards that dont take that stuff into account.

Blame management for being shit heads.

Right but the arguments are about protecting our legally-here workers


Protecting who? Show me the group of people who want to work these jobs that can't find them.

There aren't enough workers to fill all the blue collar and service industry jobs that already exist.

People would not stay here if they weren't getting paid. They'd just leave.

You notice how conservatives wanna protect workers and liberals wanna protect businesses when it comes to illegal immigration?



This is one of the rare instances where the interests of the workers (the illegal immigrants) and the businesses (mostly farms) line up perfectly.

The businesses could get the labor they need and the workers get to make minimum wage and become eligible for benefits.

Literally, everyone would win with more liberal immigration laws.

the industry with the highest amounts of unauthorized workers are farming and construction with 26% and 15%. Would replacing that portion with legal residents really cause that much economic instability? I mean it's better for the employers, but if a company is running on such a tight budget that their undocumented workforce is the difference between success and failure they're almost certainly doomed anyway.
How much of our tourism industry is a result of illegal immigration?


Have you ever gone to a beach resort? A very large portion of the service industry is staffed by immigrants and because our laws arent good enough a big chunk of them are illegal.

Georgia and California cracked down on hiring illegals and both found that it severely slowed their economic growth.

Im not answering the question because I dont know the answer - what im suggesting is no matter the dollar figure its worth what these people contribute to our economy.

How much does it cost to have one person here? I mean, do we actually know the costs involved? I suspect a lot of our population costs more to the country than they put in. We've got 11.3 million people in the US illegally, which means 10.5 million more than the DACA people.

How much wear and tear on our roads is that?
How much extra food and fuel subsidy does the government pay?
How much does the government have to pay in police and teachers?
How much does the government pay in accounting and data science and advertising and other public employees?
How much does the government have to pay for emergency services in case of accidents and injuries?
How much does the government have to pay for chronic illnesses like diabetes or HIV?
How much does that cost in food stamps or other kinds of welfare?
How much does that cost our water treatment plants and power grids and garbage dumps?
How much does that cost in cleaning rivers and roads?
What impact does that amount of competition for jobs and housing have on wages and housing prices?
How much money leaves the US and goes to their home countries?

I'm just asking because these are really important questions that I haven't heard any numbers on. I'd be a lot more open to the idea that they should be allowed to stay if I had any idea what the costs involved are.



Realize that 0 of these people would be here if there werent an economic need for them to be here.

How badly would the economy tank if there were no one to fill the manual labor jobs these people fill?

How many bigoted 'business majors' would have to live in their parents basement because their employer no longer made enough money to hire them.

What amount of our tourism industry would simply wither and die?

Can't be understated. I do not know the answer to the dreamer situation, but I do know you can't really blame one administration for what you failed to do in 2 terms.


There was no problem to find a solution for. Obama did nothing about because he's not a braindead worthless egotistical hot pocket.

There are immigration laws. His solution was not a solution. It was a delay to a solution.


And when the Gang of 8 bill authored by Marco Rubio was killed by the House Freedom Caucus, he had no other options

Ultimately, this is about basic decency. This is about whether we are a people who kick hopeful young strivers out of America, or whether we treat them the way we’d want our own kids to be treated. It’s about who we are as a people – and who we want to be.

What makes us American is not a question of what we look like, or where our names come from, or the way we pray. What makes us American is our fidelity to a set of ideals – that all of us are created equal; that all of us deserve the chance to make of our lives what we will; that all of us share an obligation to stand up, speak out, and secure our most cherished values for the next generation. That’s how America has traveled this far. That’s how, if we keep at it, we will ultimately reach that more perfect union.


Thank you, Mr. President.

I get what you're saying, but that's literally how primaries work.

In 2008, Hillary literally brought up Louis Farrakhan and said Obama should have denounced him sooner, compared Obama to Dubya, and basically called him soft on terrorists...which for that last one in particular if you'll recall, was a common accusation from Republicans his entire presidency.


I get what you're saying but its one thing to do it when you can actually win, its justifiable to bring everything you have at someone under those circumstances if still gross.

To do it when you have literally no chance at winning, and Sanders from the beginning did not have ANY CHANCE at winning, is to damage your own cause for no reason.

Like if it's Biden going there, like fine but Sanders shouldn't have.

Give me a break, guys. Republicans have been calling Hillary crooked for a decade.

Blaming that on Bernie is disingenuous at best, and at worst, proving the exact point Bernie supporters have said from Day 1.


Its a matter of legitimizing the claim - Bernie has good trust numbers and ran a campaign that could have been titled "Hillary Clinton is bought and paid for".

Trump didn't win because he won all the Republicans - he won because he got people older working class people who sometimes vote democrat to vote Republican. That's the truth of the situation.
