Donald Trump is part of the top 1% and he bribed Fizzer and made me lose that game. We need to raise the taxes and put in place universal memes so this doesn't happen again.

Socialism is for losers!

I made alts like Death and voted for myself.

Bernie, you'll be dead two years into your term

Bernie Sanders: 75yo
Joe Biden: 74 yo
Michael Bloomberg: 74 yo
Donald Trump: 70 yo
Hillary Clinton: 69 yo

And that matter because?. It was a joke, lol it was poking fun at the fact that leading democrats are so old it aint funny. Look at the age difference between the republican and libertarian VS. democratic leadership, its quite funny

It is funny.

A bunch of old wealthy white men, with a few women (the democrats), have the majority support of young people and varied minorities.

Meanwhile, the Republicans, a diverse group of multiple races, ages, and genders, have the support of mostly white people.

How terribly funny.

You remember when Democrats used the too old card on McCain? Aww yeah...good times.

I actually agree with Tyrion here. That is pretty damn funny :P

Same case with Jeremy Corbyn here in the UK. He has the young vote, despite being 140 years old.

" You remember when Democrats used the too old card on McCain? Aww yeah...good times "

^ Mhm they did that with Reagan, Bush, Ford...


I think it is actually a DNC Strategy lol

**Rubs hands together** This is gonna be a fun post.

Diversity in the GOP Presidential Race:

1 Women = Carly Fiorina
1 African American = Ben Carson
2 Latinos = Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio
1 Indian-American = Bobby Jindal
5 Candidate with at least 1 immigrant parent - Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Donald Trump, and Rick Santorum
0 Jewish

Diversity in the Democratic Presidential Race:

1 Women = Hillary Clinton
0 African Americans
0 Latinos
0 Indian-Americans
0 Candidates with at least 1 immigrant parent
1 Jewish = Bernie Sanders

Congrats, Jai, you can name presidential candidates.
No really

wtf, so now only the presidential candidate matters? ok then, let's let Obama do whatever he wants.

There was a logic jump in there, but its not actually that big of one, and can be explained.

No. I never said that only presidential candidates matter, but don't be wrong they do matter.

Trying to become your party's presidential nominee requires popularity, respect, name recognition, and several other variables. Its interesting who the Democratic Party thinks and wants to win the White House and Senate Leadership positions (old, white dudes with some women). As much as Democrats talk about diversity at the highest levels, they don't show a strong flavoring of it in their top leadership (yeah yeah I know you'll throw Obama right back :P) in general.

Also consider another form of diversity - the diversity of ideology. The Republican Party is the clear big-tent party in America, that's why Michael Bloomberg and Ted Cruz can run under the party name. The Republican Party now attracts populists, libertarians, tea party conservatives, state's righters, secessionists, free market centrists, Reagan democrats, social conservatives, and paleoconservatives. The democratic party represents who? Populists, statists, liberals, progressives, democratic-socialists, and socialists (basically 50 shades of red). Where are all the moderate Democrats? Where are all the DINOs (Democrats in Name Only)? Oh yeah they don't exist. Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb got less than 1% in primary polling support (that's less than Martin O'Malley and that's saying something). There's no enemy to the right of Hillary and Bernie in the Democratic Party and that's an ideological shame. The Democratic Party represents the epitome of ideological purism and narrowism.

Japan77, the right is far more diverse, for good reason.

lol Japan bad move, you have released " The Hindu "

Well, as this election is showing, the extremists only vote in the primary, and actually Clinton is considered center-left, so there's that. Also, you do realize that from voter demographics, as well as politicians actually in office that the democratic party is a much more diverse group in the terms of race, sex, and age. Yes, the top currently seems to be filled with white males, and a few white females, but democrats don't have the tea party overthrowing decades-old experience congressmen, so people are just moving up the ladder, and the current leaders where initially elected back when the race of representative could be considered a negative voting factor. Also, if you're arguing diversity of ideology, I would say out of the group you named for the republicans, exactly 2 matter(Reagan conservatives and Tea Party conservatives). And for the democrats, its the same(Liberals and Progressives). Lastly, I would like to conclude with this statement, I'm not a democrat, but rather a near-socialist.

A vote for Bernie is a vote for his vice president

Which is still better than a vote for any of the Republicans on offer.

THAT'S THE POINT!

The young and minority voters are putting their votes in for old white people, but white people are voting for diverse people.

Bernie Sanders is already dead, it's just that nobody's told him yet.

Which is still better than a vote for any of the Republicans on offer.

Not by far. It all depends on what you want more - not putting the troops in every country with the letter "a", or repairing America's home economy.
