[US Election 2016] Democratic Primary Megathread

Bernie Sanders Most Popular Candidate Among Asian-Americans.

Interesting. I support Clinton but I see why many other Asian-Americans like him.

Do you think Clinton is ready to embrace nuclear power, if she assumes office?

To power her secret underground lair, maybe.

Nuclear power? Is that based on my OOC pros and cons list? I don't see a candidate who's fully ready to embrace and talk about nuclear power.

It's based on her earlier policy stance on nuclear power, which I've perceived to be more negative than Obama's and that of some GOP candidates. I hope she changes her mind.

I don't.

Which is a real shame. It's objectively the best and "greenest" source, until fusion/solar/wind/fuel cells become more widespread and efficient. I still shudder when I see Greenpeace activists in the streets because of what they've done to that industry.

And thanks for Greenpeace nuclear power might not be considered in the Paris Climate Conference... which is of universal importance.

[Ugatoo]

Can I just say I don't want Clinton elected for the simple reason that I don't want to listen to America's "more progressive than thou" back patting for years?

Ugh. I honestly have nothing but contempt for the organization. They've given environmentalism a bad name.

Not really. Organizations like Greenpeace do plenty of good work while hacks like the politicians at the conference just twiddle their thumbs. If more people were like them the world would be a better place.

Ironically the environmental movement caused much of the current problems. In the 1950s and 1960s we were on track to replacing coal with nuclear and hydro. The environmentalists saved coal by grinding nuclear and hydro to a halt.

youd rather have our "we're exceptional, now bend over" patter?

They've also derailed necessary energy sources like nuclear and hydro and damaged a native site in Peru.

I'd rather have Burnie Sanders than either. Plus movies like Team America have kind of taken the piss out of the "America is the greatest" mindset.

Fuck hydro.
Seriously. Fuck it. Worthless source of energy. Yes, the opposition to nuclear energy isn't great, but even that isn't without problems, and I question why they draw our ire instead of those who are actively contributing to fossil fuel production and distribution.

It works just fine.

It is better than solar is all aspects; cleaner, cheaper, safer.

huh?

you think that if mr sanders should become president we wont have any "more progressive than thou" back patting?

that's just bad thinking.

Pretty sure I won't have to listen to Americans going on about ending racism or sexism because they elected Sanders.

I'm sure we can be smug about other things enough to bother your delicate sensibilities.

My delicate sensibilities include not being a hypocrite so yeah I don't doubt that.

"Safer"

Yes so safe to completely destroy ecosystems and communities oh man so safe.

Mega hydro is often questionable. Bigger is not always better. But as problematic is that is, do you realize how much more land would have to be destroyed to build enough wind and solar to make tha much electricity.

This is due to human error, if you were to follow the protocols to the 't' it would be one of the safest forms of energy.

Also as a side note I never really knew the process of nuclear power until relatively recently and it blew my mind to learn that it's just a big steam engine.

If you find a mutually agreeable place to build the dam and work with the natives, then it's pretty safe.
