Who would you vote if the 2016 election is Trump vs. Sanders

[Ancient Demon]

Ideally race wouldn't matter at all, but if it's acceptable for PoC to vote based on whatever favours their race more, I'm not sure it's worse for more white people to do so as well. The white guilt phase of race relations will eventually come to an end one way or another.

[garbon]

God, you really are as awful as I intimated.

[Eddie Teach]

No kidding. Race not mattering at all, what a horrible sentiment. 

[garbon]

We aren't even anywhere near a society where it makes sense to opine about an ideal world where race doesn't matter / let alone that useless statement about the white guilt phase coming to an end some way or another.

Somehow I offended garbon yet again. Not sure how exactly, but he can only sling insults in response.

It would take a pretty crazy amount of race based oppression inflicted on me and my family before I started voting based on race. Just saying.

Great ass?

So, 43% for Sanders and barely 18% for Trump.
This is why I don't come to Languish that frequently anymore. The country is falling in pieces due to 0bama's and his minions' mismanagement and people here still think socialism is a viable option.

Whether you're putting all your eggs in the basket of the government or the free market, you're still naively putting your faith in a potentially capricious higher power.  This is why I'm a centrist and stick to fiscal conservatism in the strictest sense of "what will cost us the least amount of money."  Mercenary, sure, but I trust the market as much as I trust an intrusive government (i.e. not much).

Not surprising. It's all about showmanship. Trump has that in spades. If he is still the popular front runner and doesn't get the nomination, he will most likely still run anyway. This will kill whoever the GOP establishment puts forward.

No worries tim, you'll be saying Madam President before long.

"Faith" in the market doesn't require any positive belief in a higher power, rather the belief that individualistic, atomistic actors are acting in their own self interest.

Well, it also requires belief that these self-interest actions actually do further the common good, and that none of the many possible ways the invisible hand can fist you actually materialize to a significant degree.

I do not really trust the actors to do that. If they did everybody wouldn't own consumer crap and instead bank all their money...and then the economy would collapse.

Why would banking all of their money and starving to death be in someone's best interests?

For that matter, why is consumption "crap?"
