You forgot one thing. Bernie just endorsed a rigged system. He was used and abused and he ended up bending over to the queen of corruption. Some are saying he is a sellout and a fraud. I think he is just a perpetual protester. What good is a "revolution" is if as soon as the going gets tough....he just rolls over and praises the queen. It is easy to be leading a revolution if there are no tough consequences.

every time you vote you endorse a rigged system. bernie knows that the only way to affect change is from the inside. i assume you think trump knows this as well, since he's now a republican.

So you are basically saying two wrongs make a right? If this is such a rigged system, then why vote at all? Just let the elitist do whatever they want since they know so much better than us how to live our lives.

no, vote because you play the hand that you're dealt. the system is what it is, doesn't mean any less bloodshed has gone into giving you your vote. or don't because you rather get the overtime. system is still rigged.

Oh, we're doing memes. Great.

Omg! Fences and walls do not work! This is an illusion.

Look at all the children just looking for a better life. The dnc is clearly racist and sexist.

Exactly what am I "making up"?

Megalomania is best reserved for those in oligarchies, dictatorships, theocracies, despotism, and absolute authoritarianism. Megalomania is something our founders did not want the Presidency to be.

There has actually been a great deal of studies on the type of temperament it takes to be president. Megalomania need not apply. Megalomania differs from NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, in which the candidate has intense desire to be motivated by wanting to be absolute in power and rule by fear. They will be fond of making others suffer, they will take pleasure in killing and destroying. They literally want to be feared, rather than the latter, which is focused on a desire to be beloved. Both have deluded aspects but are different. Both are psychological disorders, but one is far more dangerous than the other. A study of Presidents and Prime Ministers for instance, revealed shades of a psychological disorder referred to as Hubris syndrome (it can be a learned disorder because of environmental factors), which also varies quite differently from Megalomania, and is actually linked to other underlying psychological problems - including bipolarism, alcohol/drug abuse, anxiety, and depression. Anxiety and depression, being the most common in those leaders with no underlying issues, is understandable and one of the reasons why they tend to show severe signs of stress, by aging significantly pre and post office. Even the standard dictionary definition above, does not reveal the full definition of the true psychological disorder of a megalomaniac.

I do not disagree with anything you said in the above post. I am only making the point that almost anyone running for the presidency these days has those tendencies, or at the very least (as Rob L put it), an "authority fetish." You may think these types "should not apply" for the office, but they always do.

I thought you loved Bernie, now you are a hater? No response I see on the Bernie + law and order platform. Do you support any of his ideas?

clarification

the authority fetish is the documented fact that people across the political spectrum that are drawn to an authoritarian view of the world are drawn to Donald Trump as a candidate.

I really don't want to guess what Trumps fetishism is

At this point, does it even matter?

You are the one trying draw parallels between you love for Trump and your love for Sanders...I am still trying to figure out the connection.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Fixed your mistake for you. No need to thank me.

Welcome back, I missed you.

Oh yes, but it proves what we've been saying all along. We call her Lying Hillary, but Trump lies more than her and Sanders combined. And it doesn't matter at all, as long as he becomes president. The balance will be restored again.

It's a shame that electing a black President Obama would have such a negative consequence.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Because it's the only comeback many have, and in today's world, people have become so gun shy about the term so as to avoid any argument about it, they let it slide. Sad state of affairs.

Truth is, even it Obama's dark half were white, he would still be a bad president.

Why attribute everything to racism?
