Re: Questions about American politics

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.
