2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumEverything Bernie Sanders says comes down to one thing...
Vote.
It's in your own self interest.
If America has a record turnout, Bernie will win by a landslide despite rigged counts, corruption and media bias.
Bernie is the people's candidate. If our Democracy is a Democracy, Bernie will win.

(11,366 posts)Only 20 percent of New Yorkers supported the war. Hell, the city council even passed a resolution against it!

(62,325 posts)wanted at that time. NYers are pretty savvy people and they had experienced the first attack on the WTC in 1993.
And the many threats since then. We were VERY aware that the city was likely to be a target, of whoever.
And many knew that our involvement in the ME was part of the reason.
NYers were probably the most opposed to going to war over that attack.
What we DID want was an INVESTIGATION.
But the occupant of the WH at the time said 'there will be no investigation'.
Shameful, unacceptable and in the end due to intense pressure from the families of the victims they were forced to put on a sham investigation.
Anyone who says NYers wanted 'revenge' is full of s*&t.

(12,875 posts)... it wouldn't be an approval of the candidate perpetuating lies to constituents in order to be re-elected. I'm still shaking my head at your notion that Hillary was justified in voting for war in Iraq because New Yorkers wanted retribution for 9/11.
Seriously, your rational for defending Hillary's IWR vote is pretty close to the most batguano carzy thing I've ever read in my 13+ years at DU.

(30,058 posts)Am I to assume you are not going to defend his vote on the Brady Bill and we have lost more Americans to violent gun deaths than the Iraq war. Talk about crazy, to turn away from gun violence and not attempt to do anything about it.
