Same here, but they let us use two of the tiny flip-out desks, so at least my pencils/erasers/kleenex weren't also taking up space

Yep, I got two tables too. The small table sucked for RC the most, I think.

Down with tiny desks! Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

I had 10 and they kept rolling off my desk and loudly hitting the floor at random times. Lol.

I don't think it mandated that you couldn't bring more than four, but rather that you should bring three or four.

Anyone else think Bernie and Trump are basically the same candidate, just on opposite ends of the spectrum? Nobody really likes their proposed policies or expects them to be effective leaders, but they're doing well because they seem genuine. No other politician seems half as sincere or human as Bernie or Trump.

+1. I remember seeing something about 4 pencils, but I think it was just a suggestion.

Yep. I decided a few months ago that if Sanders loses the nomination, I might suck it up and vote for Trump (or not at all) just because I can't see myself voting for Hillary.

New poll suggestions: age or major.

Also, you fuckers better actually vote in the primary then and make this happen. Young people love Sanders but he'll probably lose because young people don't vote.

Cheers to that. Everyone go out and vote like it's 2008 again!

Curious why you think people don't think Sanders will be an effective leader? He's had over 20 years of experience in politics including being a mayor and civil rights leader

The superdelegate advantage held by Clinton is going to be an issue. If Sanders wins a majority of delegates but Clinton beats him with a large superdelegate total, its going to destroy (what passes for) Democrat unity.

Nope.

There are significant differences. Number one probably being the fact that Bernie is an experienced politician. Two, he's always stood his ground on issues, unlike Trump who changes his mind every couple years. Three, in fact, those policies Bernie holds are all liberal, while Trump is freaking everywhere--right on this issue and left on this one. Four, Bernie's' campaign actually discusses issues; it doesn't send water bottles and ask for unrealistic implementations, like a wall. Five, Trump is a threat not only to the American people as a whole, but his own party as well. I can understand where some on the right would argue Sanders is a threat to the US, but I doubt anyone to the left would argue that Sanders is a threat to Democrats.

I actually don't know much about him, but I've always seen him portrayed as this crazy old leftwing guy. He seems like too much of an idealist to be an effective politician. He's that guy who stands up for what he believes in and constantly gets screwed over for it. But that's precisely what makes him an attractive candidate to many people.
