Did you hear about the pranksters who put a real headstone (aren't those things expensive?) in Central Park that read "Donald Trump: 1949 (or whatever)- _
Made America Hate Again"
It was soon removed.
 
Trump is getting so much attention that this is largely flying under the radar, but the Democrats are starting to look pretty split too. There's a hard core of Bernie Sanders supporters (a couple of whom are Facebook friends of mine and so I see what they post - and what other Sanders supporters post in reply to them) and a lot of Sanders supporters (and, interestingly, the Sanders supporters I know are women, and most of those who I see replying to them on Facebook are also women) seem to just absolutely despise Hillary Clinton. If the Republican contest weren't so outrageous, I think this would be getting a lot more play in the media.

I agree. Usually if a party in Canada starts to fracture this badly, we get new parties out of the deal. Consider how Reform and BQ both calved off from the Mulroney Progressive Conservatives to some degree. In the US, with their two party system, you just get lots of infighting and maybe an independent candidate or two who vanish before the next cycle.

Just how split the Democrats are is illustrated by an encounter with a Bubba type acquaintance I just had breakfast with in a local restaurant. His drinking buddy got himself elected as Democrat Super Delegate for northeast Washington. This Superdelegate is an avid Bernie supporter. But he just hates Hillary and warns that if she becomes the Democrat nominee, he will vote for Trump!

Two aspects of our electoral process really bother me: (1) that only the Democrats get to have a large number of Superdelegates, which amounts to the party bosses virtually rigging the outcome; (2) that some states have winner-take-all delegate elections, while others are proportional. That inbalance gives too much power to certain states in shaping the outcome.

Get over it ... there is never a sense of EQUIS in real life ... the corrupt authoritarian powers would screw that over !Pure reason is a thing of another time, place and with some light at the end of the tube ... perhaps a tube worm if you can read that story inside out!

i had the chance very recently to go to a Dem meeting within walking distance
but my sweetie & i burned the midnight oil (eg watched the late then the late late then the late late late then the late late late late early show then bed), so, alas, i missed my chance to see more passion in action

the issue of Gerrymandering is apparently such an issue, where apparently it is such that different party's votes are rendered useless due to Gerrymandering by the opposing party, that David Brin is advocating a radical solution (that doesn't involve revolution or pitchforks):

Oh, and your talk of Bubba & drink reminded me of this time my father and some of my friends were in the US version of Cascadia in a little neighbourhood that we hadn't been in before and were at a Denny's early in the morning & the first thing the waitress asks is if we a

And of course we isn't ...
 
Another perspectacle

"...when I see GOP politicians telling CNN... say the people don't choose a candidate WE [the GOP politicians] choose the candidate I go 'you deserve to burn'...these people don't like the public, don't like their own electorate...the republican party has become...hostile to its own base...trump represents the best hope for...allowing real debate to happen..."

NSFW -- some adult words
 
And the common people wonder where the role model comes from ... for hating the self and self-ish Ness ... the Shadow we find inherent ... as we have been conditioned to not think critically of authority as authority just shrivels at the thought of not being blindly accepted!

Of course critical thinking will pass if the authority doesn't know such information in innate in word ... that attribute that some stoics thing is an ideal out there ... sometimes beyond timely ... if you think god hasn't time for us (timeless idealism)?

Thus the mystery of age old po' ET ticks ... even if presented pros achely? Isn't that a pain to understand such eminent eruption of inherent thoughts ... blindly escaping amongst the naïve? Literary devices have some inherent genius about eM even if incarnate as facetiae, or superficial rip 't appearing as a distant giggle ... authority won't go there ... that's just too much to take ... even if metaphysical like the divine comparison of theism vs. deism ... according to Brian Davies!

Myself I wouldn't know as I've been designated to a very small spot in existence due to overbearing hard things ... thus I can examine the small things of life like quantum issue ... among those bumped thoughts in the pits ...
 
I don't think they need to do anything ... he can blow up all by himself ... self -ish behaviour personified?
 
I don't suppose his ex-wife's trilling about "who is going to vacuum our living rooms?" is going to help...

Is that enough to cause a riot or just generate more chaos? Authorities like that so commonly we don't know what's done to us ... by who?

Are gods violent when erupting? continuum of rants ...
 
An excerpt from a statement issued by the campaign of Donald Trump, after his loss to Ted Cruz in last night's Wisconsin primary: "Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet--- he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump."

The Donald isn't exactly a gracious loser, is he?

If he doesn't get the nomination, he might just run as a third party just to spite the GOP brass (unless they offer him some really sweet deal not to). Of course, Hilary could arguably face the same risk with Bernie, though it is less likely.

It might be true
Lots of words being bandied aboot
Like Cruz calling for The Donald's assassination

It'll be titillating if Cruise Missile wins and becomes POTUS -- just think of it, there will be a CANADIAN PRESIDENT :3 Then, of course, he'll become the one person Americans think of as 'Hey, this is a Canadian' -- tough, suave, a family man, an evangelical.
