YOU SERIOUSLY ARE AS STUPID AS NITRO HARLEY OR NLSK1

Detroit (CNN)Bernie Sanders supporters will occupy a third of all seats on the Democratic Party's 2016 platform committee, the Democratic National Committee announced Monday, an agreement that will allow the Vermont senator to wield sizable influence on the party's platform this year.

Sanders and his supporters have complained for months that the Democratic Party was tilted against his insurgent bid and are worried that should he lose to Hillary Clinton -- as he is expected to do -- the issues that have animated his bid will not find a place at July's Democratic National Convention.

The agreement struck by both campaigns this month looks to ensure that doesn't happen. Sanders' five slots include several bold face names in progressive politics, including Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota and environmental activist Bill McKibben.
Clinton will appoint six members to the powerful platform committee, according to the agreement. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, the chairwoman of the Democratic Party, will name four members.
The agreement is unusual, in part because DNC rules allow the chair of the party to pick every member of the platform committee, a group that will hammer out, write and present the Democratic Party's platform at this year's convention.

How would you know who I might vote for?

You are right. I have no idea.

Why is it that anti choice religious zealots align themselves with people who want to rape the environment and suppress minorities? Can't you folks find a leader that wants to protect those unborn babies but still be good stewards of the environment and hew to principles like helping those in need? Also war. Damm, every war is fought with zealots claiming (insert deity of choice here) is on their side.

And its not as if the mother they would force to have that baby gets help from the zealots later on. Zealots or those they align with in order to stack the courts, cut and cut and cut at social supports for children whose parents aren't well off.

Why is that?

What a man or woman does with their body is their own business as long as it doesn't affect me or my family. As far as the environment is concerned I was raised in the country and I'm almost sure I'm closer to nature than you probably are. As far as war his concerned, it in our nature to conquer and control land and the people livin there.
You should study history more if you want to learn man's tendencies. Times change, but people don't.

You didn't answer, just rambled. Why is it that zealots would force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term then abandon her to make it on her own? They don't care how it happened either.

Oh and, times change. Those stuck in the past don't.

This is laughably stupid. He knows that winning California will give him massive leverage at the convention and beyond.

He knows he's going to win California, he's even said so.

Pull your big boy pants up. Your butthurt is showing.

its already happening. And after Bernie wins CA, he's going to have a lot more influence than to affect some platform that everybody forgets about once the election is over.

Democratic Party Gives Bernie Sanders Bigger Role In Shaping Its Platform
As his path to the presidential nomination narrows, Hillary Clinton and party officials are granting Sanders and his supporters concessions.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-democratic-party-platform_us_57439500e4b00e09e89fdd8f

edit: I'm adding some text from the article that is pertinent to this thread:

Sanders acknowledged that his chances at the nomination are slim, but reiterated on Sunday that he hopes to make his mark on the party’s platform. He argued that Clinton will “have her problems” if she doesn’t make concessions to the progressive movement.

“I don’t want to see the American people voting for the lesser of two evils,” Sanders told ABC. “I want the American people to be voting for a vision of economic justice, of social justice, of environmental justice, of racial justice.”

I think it's a woman's right to make the choices that concern only her, but I personally think it's murder to abort an unborn life.
CHOOSE LIFE, YOUR MOTHER DID.

What you believe is unimportant. Given the chance, it seems you would foist your belief on others. So that's why we have a legal system that constrains old timey zealots from imposing their will on a free people. Once this election is over and Clinton is prez, the court will have another open minded judge who understands what freedom of choice means and close the door on the anti choice movement forever.

Then all you can do is stew in your juices. I like that idea.

And you wouldn't push your beliefs on others? What do you think you are doing right now.

Oh no, while you disgust me, I'm not saying one thing to you about how to manage your own life. I am saying freedom to choose is personal. You, on the other hand, are saying exactly what zealots say when they would take freedom of choice away from women.

He's questioning yours. For the record, I'm with him; all this hand wringing about unborn babies, yet right wingers are the first to cut social programs and welfare- even for moms with babies. Nothing about your policy stances make sense until they're viewed through the lens of 'he who has the gold makes the rules', which is a pretty shitty way to run a country.
