In fairness, wouldn't you call it your home if you've lived there for 16 years?

And I feel you on the rigged system thing, but this isn't even remotely close enough to consider throwing up any flags. The only thing I think worthy of note is the 6 month time frame for party registration. Otherwise, she killed it today. This is the people speaking... for as unliked as she might be outside of her supporters, she has lots of supporters.

It's time to rally around her, if you support progressivism. She might not be a wonderful person, but her odds of being the candidate are now up in the high 90s.

There's virtually nothing in those large land-area counties that Sanders won.

my dad still thinks his "real" home is in Tokyo despite the fact that we haven't even been there more than 10 years and he's been in Osaka for more than 20 years.

You're right. CNN had her taking Buffalo earlier but a look at the map and it's switched to a narrow Sanders win.

Overall point remains the same.

I apologize if you misunderstood anything I said in that exchange. Nothing in that discussion was personal, and frankly I'm not sure why there was anything you took offense to. We're on pretty common ground about the two party system, I just don't think it's a right to vote in a primary for a party you are not registered to.

right, I'm not sure why (I'm not even saying it's because of black voters or whatever lots of people are speculating) but most cities are taken by her. that also happened in Chicago, Detroit, etc.

Well I think that's more of a "hometown" rather than "home." You know what I mean? Just like how Bernie Sanders is from Brooklyn, his hometown, but I'm sure he calls Burlington home.

It was a lame attempt at humor, I admit.

The 10 most populous counties in New York State are...

Kings County (Brooklyn): 2,504,700
Queens County (Queens): 2,230,722
New York County (Manhattan): 1,585,873
Suffolk County: 1,493,350
Bronx County (the Bronx): 1,385,108
Nassau County: 1,339,532
Westchester County: 949,113
Erie County: 919,040
Monroe County: 744,344
Richmond County (Staten Island): 468,730

Clinton took 9 of them, and the only one she didn't take, Erie (where Buffalo is), she lost by less than 1%.

She dominated.

right, my dad tends to be very wrong, especially when it comes to gay rights. somehow.

How would you force people to define their home? The place they love, or the place they're from? Such a worthwhile debate.

Am I the only one who is just sick and tired of this entire election and has stopped following it long ago in hopes that one day I'll wake up and Ron Paul has been the real president the last 8 years and Rand is running away with this election?

Yes, even Ron's family doesn't wish that.

I feel the same way.
