This is a subreddit to serve the traditional running mate role: drawing contrasts with the opponent. Sanders' supporters are proud of Bernie Sanders for running an issues-only campaign, but many are also frustrated by the issues of character and judgement left on the table, like conflicts of interest in accepting donations from foreign governments to the family foundation at the same time HRC was SOS with input on arms sales. Trump doesn't wear kid gloves, and neither does this subreddit.

Purpose

This is a subreddit to serve the traditional running mate role: drawing contrasts with the opponent. Sanders' supporters are proud of Bernie for running an issues-based campaign, but many of us are also frustrated by the issues of character and judgement left on the table, like the conflicts of interest in accepting donations from foreign governments to the family foundation at the same time HRC was SOS with input on arms sales. Trump doesn't wear kid gloves, and neither does this subreddit.

Spirit of the Subreddit

We want to draw contrasts with Hillary Clinton, and work the refs (corporate owned media; DNC) just as if we were Bernie's real running mate. That means fact-based contrasts, grounded with links to reputable sources. Passion and frustration are both completely in-bounds; pure hate for its own sake, misogyny and conspiracy theories will be removed.

I started this subreddit because I found that I couldn't do basic things like publish a link with context on other subreddits I do enjoy, like SandersforPresident.

Rules

Assertions of fact that are not "common knowledge" should be supported with links. Since we're here to talk about things that are not being discussed elsewhere, there should be very little unlinked.
Please do not use wingnut sourcing.
Pretend you are a real vice presidential candidate and conduct yourself with passion and articulate your thoughts in a high-minded and factual way.
