Questions about American politics

[caerbannog]

So Trump is "Make America Great Again" and Bernie is something-or-other to believe in...what's Hilary?

What are the other nominees? What are they well known for? Like Bernie had a bird land on his stand and ???

For serious research purposes

Bernie's a moderate social democrat, Hillary's a somewhat progressive liberal (I think probably comparable to the right wing of Australian Labor but I'm not 100% on that). In terms of what Hillary stands for, it's mostly consolidating the Obama administration's policies, furthering social progress, solidifying gains, and not completely fucking burning the country down.

Basically, since roughly the 80s or so (it's more complicated before that), the Democrats are the anything-slightly-left-of-center coalition party, but their center of gravity is probably around moderate, socially progressive liberalism; the Republicans are the anything-slightly-right-of-center coalition party, but their center of gravity is mostly around reasonably intense ideological conservatism. Also, again since the 80s, the Democrats have generally been the party of racial minorities, while the Republicans have been not that. Hillary was married to Bill who was very much on the right wing of the Democratic Party, being very much a centrist, although she's probably more of a progressive than he was. Trump's base is basically all the people in the Republican Party who aren't ideological conservatives, don't like old-school moderate Republicanism, and also really hate liberalism as a political philosophy. So it's basically sort of a grab-bag of people.

Is that... at all useful?

Educational!

I was more after meme-worthy pictures or memorable platform moments in picture format/screenshots though. n_n'

I have very quickly come to realise I know shit all except that Trump screams at babies crying and #FeelTheBern is a hashtag.

Hillary is still married to Bill, who is a rapist. So that's fun.

I believe Hillary's rallying cry is "I'm With Her" #ImWithHer and "Hill Yes" #HillYes... and for some odd reason and surprisingly horrific design choices by a professional design consultancy, the logo is a blue H with a big red arrow pointing to the right.

There is an interesting ideological contrast between all the slogans from a marketing point of view.

"I'm With Her" is all about Hillary because she's Hillary and female - "her," not "Hillary". Jill Stein's supporters dislike this slogan, because it makes it sound as though there were no other female candidates running.

Trump's "Make America Great Again" is also surprisingly not directly about Trump but about America as a collective, implying Trump is the one that will lead the effort to make that happen. That one's usually not on posters but most commonly plain text on hats.

Meme wise...

Bernie has "A Future to Believe In" and "Not Me, Us" which both directly shifts the focus from Bernie himself onto the movement he's built. His poster was created by a random supporter and officially adopted by the campaign. If you want a dose of cute, look up "Birdie Sanders" on google images.
