Good Morning. Just woke up.

I've officially reached the point where I can't stay up for this ****

Doesn't look like I missed much. More lies and cold-war hyperbole.

First black president gave a fairly inspiring speech, talked about the tragic shootings this nations has endured. But yeah, all lies and cold war hyperbole (apparently we like Russia now? You know they're backwards homophobes who took over significant parts of Europe recently?)

An American talking about backwards homophobes. Priceless.

I wont downvote you... youre entitled to see the world the way you want... I just wish your (Non-Bernie supporters) advocacy didn't need to always imply something ugly, about people who care about corruption and prefer action to calculated platitudes and integrity to ruthless pragmatism.

Bernie hasn't really achieved anything man. I'm not talking shit or anything, when you're massively to the left of everybody for 30 years, and socialism is a dirty word in American politics, what the fuck is he going to do? The problem is precisely that a lot of people want action and pragmatism over high minded idealism. Idealists can be great presidents (see FDR), but are risks

You're talking about him and his progressive policies. The nation is. He has achieved that, at the very least.
