No kidding it's politics. People are gonna lie LOL. And Obama didn't go around calling himself a term with the name socialism in it. All of these people he hires and can't get one damn psychologist.
I actually agree with you on that one. Bernie should have re-branded a while ago. "Socialist" is such a no-no term in Europe that most people there who share Bernie's leanings call themselves "Social Democrats".
"Important Our Revolution endorsed candidates one by one lose their elections/ primaries. To name just a few for 2016/ 2017: Lucy Flores, John Fetterman, Zephyr Teachout, Tim Canova, Dwight Bullard, Russ Feingold, Arturo Carmona, Wendy Carrillo, James Thompson, Gabriel Costilla, Paul Clements, Peter Jacob, Deborah Ross, Keith Ellison (DNC chair), Misty Snow, Thomas Nelson, Vincent Fort, Tom Perriello, Rob Quist. The reality is that in none of these races, Bernie Sanders’ or OR’s endorsement led to a victory or electoral success, on the contrary." https://medium.com/@investigator_21314/the-premature-death-of-our-revolution-dd66b85557df
Yeah, but he shouldn't call himself that. The people who oppose him almost always leave off the "democratic" part when attacking him. Just look at any attack by Biden, Mayor Pete, or Bloomberg, they all hammer him on being a socialist. They know that the more they associate him with historic socialism the weaker it makes him in the eyes of voters. I'm simply saying he (Bernie) shouldn't have given his opponents the window of attack by associating himself with that word.
Watch these Berners in this thread flat-out ignore my post If the DNC is dumb enough to nominate this guy, we're looking at a McGovern-scale cascade failure. We've already lost SCOTUS and the lower courts for a generation thanks to Bernie and Stein, Putin's plan will be complete. To be fair, though, there are no compelling figures representing the middle.
They called Obama that too and the demographic sensitive and responsive to that kind of propaganda is being drowned out by supporters who want healthcare that won't leave them bankrupt. People woefully under estimate how desperate less visible people are. They rely on buzzwords that are meaningless to everyday people who are struggling because of high rents high healthcare costs and crushing student debt. Call him a commie a socialist whatever but if he stays on message if he just keeps reminding everyone your situation is totally fucked up because our politics and economy have been centered on a privileged few he's good
If Sanders has the most delegates at the end of the primaries and the DNC doesn't nominate him, I guarantee you the Dems will lose because most Sanders supporters won't vote. I remember when people were saying a candidate with the middle name HUSSEIN could never win either. I remember when Bill Clinton called Obama's candidacy a fairytale. It's mostly the baby boomers who are afraid Bernie might be a commie. Younger people are more focused on his platform. I'm more worried about anti-semetic backlash towards Bernie than whether or not he should be calling himself a Democratic socialist. And the fact that he's almost 80.
Of course, they always ignore facts but never post them. Freddy is the only one that ever posts facts. When he doesn't chime in ( which is often) you know they have nothing.
Bernie is now literally invoking the but but but...........Obama deflection that the right has been doing for the last 3 years. Thats some sorry shit. Is he trying to get in office and talk about Obama like 45? Far lefties need to seriously vote for Warren. This shit is getting old. Not that bernie can win anyway but damn.
The cultists don't care, man. They are prepared to crash the whole party. Truthfully the leftists hate the first Black President as much as the right if not more As for Pocahontas, no thanks. For the whole first part of this campaign she was joined at the hip with St Bernie. Warren was a Republican until she was in her 40s, St. Bernie didn't vote or work until he was 40. It would be cool if Bernie named her his VP so I can not vote for them at once. You may as well just vote for Trump directly at this point IMO. He's the only one who's helping straight black men with no criminal record even if it's indirectly
So your logic is the dude who wants to alleviate everyone of student debt burden and healthcare is worst for black men than someone who hires AGs that are white supremacist sympathizers? Ok good to know
Your far lefties support the right anyway by dividing the party and dividing the vote/ not voting and pouting like little spoiled brats when you don't get your way. The disdain for Obama is proof of the toxicity. Is the enemy of my enemy my friend? Not exactly but there is an obvious silver lining to one taking out the other.
So basically fall in line behind the whims of the elites and expect that nothing is worth fighting for because party unity even if it's literally killing people by its inaction. Disdain or holding someone accountable for their actions?
I could see myself voting for 45 over Bernie at this point. You should see how Bernie is trending here now it's ridiculous. And his followers ignoring his fuckery is asinine. He has independent Cubans concerned and he has democrats even more doubtful of his electability. White Jesus is starting to look even more like the divider and chief. I would take Warren over 45 but fuck Bernie.
Not worth jumping in the fight if two enemies are taking each other out. Chess not checkers. Edit: this is more of your disdain for Obama bullshit
