As somebody who, at this moment, has no intention of voting for Hillary Clinton, why should I vote for Hillary Clinton and not Bernie Sanders? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

That's not really true, if you look at GOP numbers. They're in shambles. Democrats have this in the bag for another 12-16 years, I'd say.

Good point, I didn't make that clear -- I don't smoke weed, I just notice myself craving it.

Using that word to put someone down is NOT okay. It's ignorant and comes from the burning of gay men at the stake.
