Because of ideology, or electability?

That field makes me want to cry.  Clinton, I guess.  I'd support Biden if he were a few years younger.  But, yeah, that field really doesn't look good.

Biden. If Clinton doesn't run, he 's a shoe-in to win the primary and overall, I respect Biden a lot more now because he didn't bail on Obama like Hillary.

Okay, here's a few examples of his work:

3. Sweet Jesus man, your signature breaks virtually every rule of decency/sanity; the only thing that could possibly make it worse would be the inclusion of an epilepsy-inducing GIF or something.

Decency? Coming from the person who has a picture of the man who raped a bunch of women, cheated on Hillary, lied about it in front of the press, and then nearly became the first man to be thrown out of office by the Senate. Rainbow Dash at least has a lot of positive significance. She's so loved by all of us bronies because we love her great sense of humor and plus we like to consider her the lesbian Pegasus on the show such as when she asked Fluttershy in a joyful tone "You're gay?" and they were about to kiss. Not to mention the obvious giveaway that her hair is the LGBT colors. So in a way, it's more of a strong movement & message we get from My Little Pony & Rainbow Dash of being friendly to everyone which includes the LGBT community.

that is seriously the worst post that has ever been posted on this forum

seriously, I'd sooner read the combined posting histories of Krazen, BSB, Bushie, BRTD and the like before I read that post again

Adam, it's time for you to go
There's nothing wrong with that post with the exception of posting it before realizing that Rainbow Dash did kiss Fluttershy on the nose before, but not the lips which was from a different scene and episode. It's just a matter of looking into things deeper and getting a bigger picture out of things which includes President Clinton & My Little Pony. Have you even watched the show to consider its significance to LGBT pride?

@Paul, I was just about to say the same thing to you Wink + Tongue

You are trying to argue that a cartoon ****ing horse is more "decent" than a president of the United States.

Take a step back for a minute and realize how absurd that sounds.
I never said that Clinton wasn't a decent man because I think he was personally a great President, but I was calling him out on the moral background of it. Initially, I was fine with Bacon King having that picture of Bill in his sig but after he was calling my sig sh**t and saying it had no decency or sanctity, it really brings up a good debate. There's no debating though with the fact that Bill was an adulterer, yet just because Rainbow Dash is non-realistic and is into other female ponies there's a problem? And for the last time, Rainbow Dash is a Pegasus which means she can fly; horses can't.

@Sam, how about the entire bronie population? (teenage to adult males) And quite frankly, imo, everyone should care because you can't say that they don't look incredibly adorable.

@Al, I'm a democratic socialist so I believe in authoritarian government intrusion when need be. Also I'm pro-choice.

@Sen. Snowstalker, actually if you listen to this video closely, it can be derived either as "you're gay" or "you're game" because both words sound alike. And it would make more sense that she says "you're gay" since they were about to kiss on the lips. But it doesn't really matter anyways because "you're game" is still a similar question. And Rainbow Dash is a lesbian because it was Fluttershy who backed out of the kiss, not her. As for the other scene, I do remember that episode and I clearly saw Rainbow Dash kiss Fluttershy on the nose. If that isn't enough proof in a widely talked about topic by the fans of Equestria, then I don't know what is. And just because she's a weather pony doesn't mean anything. She can fly, control the weather, and bounce around on clouds, but it has nothing to do with her rainbow hair. Look at Derpy or Scootaloo, they're Pegasi, but they don't have rainbow hair. Rainbow Dash is a special case and I think her creator saw something behind what the rainbow hair could signify for young girls or teenage boys; that you can love each other whether you're straight or love those of the same sex.

Since Warren has zero chances in the general, I'm supporting Hillary.

I like O'Malley, Gillibrand, and Hillary. When the reality of electability comes into play, probably Hillary, although O'Malley would be a very strong contender for my vote.
