2020 Democratic Presidential Primary | OT | Hickenlooper makes it to the debate

The News has a well known bias against Bernie, everyone except centrists and neolibs knows that.
2016 was never Trumps win, it was Hillary's loss. She should have won. Although, I've always been curious if Trump won because of the the Trio Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan that I dont think Jeb would have gotten.
I suppose it wouldn't have mattered, if Jeb won the popular vote. If Hillary won those three states on election night, we have all been biting our nails on New Hamshire, which was super close (and barely went to Hillary). It would have been probably that state that threw the win to Jeb instead.
Regardless, Attacking the heroism of POW/MIA Americans is a fool's errand.
You're being willfully obtuse if you're gonna seriously pretend this board has no bias against Bernie for god knows what reason.
That's his name...the problem with people referring to Obama as Hussein was there was usually an anti-islamic and quesrioning of his citizenship angle. Referring to Sanders as Bernard is well, not the same so.... lol.
This board is not 1 entity, and I count far more Bernie supporters than I've seen for any other single candidate out there in this thread.
Lol so now it's 'the board'? We really are pulling the 'Resetera says' or 'Resetera feels' argument? Lol ok.
The bias is the same reason for the one against RON PAUL circa 2007. Many, but not all, of the supports are militant in their defense of any and everything he does and it puts a lot of people off.
Yep, there are a ton of Bernie fans in here. Also I'm sure there was a Bernie raised 5.9 million subject header at one point. Some Bernie fans jumping to conspiracies or claiming to be victims reminds me of the fans of Trump.
Beto continues his touring. Hardest working candidate out there
That definitely is an issue. It's cultish at times. With say hillary supporters including yours truly we admitted she had many issues, too corporatist, lack of personality, flip flopped on issues often, but we also recognized she had a great deal of experience, knowledge, could do good. Not the same with many Bernie fans.
no, his political name is Bernie. Same as Robert is "Beto." It seems like you're just trying to stir shit up.
It's not like you'd call Tom Cruise "Thomas Mapother IV". Because that's not his stage name.
I mean, yeah they fucked up massively.
I didn't like the Sirota pick before I saw that article, though.
I wonder if him already giving away his VP position makes him more vulnerable to attacks from the big dogs. I know people expect Dems to play patty cakes and sing kumbaya, but there's no fucking way that holds throughout the primary. Warren will say something about Bernie's taxes on the debate stage and Bernie will fire back, or Harris will bring out something dirty from Biden's record and Biden will throw some shit back at her. And then you have all the other candidates that will try anything in desperation.
It's pettiness is all. Calling Beto "Robert" or Bernie "Bernard" is both equally stupid. That's not what they want to be called. You'd think Democrats of all people could respect what somebody wants to call themselves. It's not clever, just makes you look petty.
Harris and Warren won't be attending the AIPAC conference, hope more candidates decline going.
Eh Trump is Trump. People can call him whatever they want and I won't feel less about them. If it were up to me, I'd just stick with "shit". Human trash deserves no respect.
Yeah right. I think it was like last week when Hillary supporters bullied and sent death threats to a college student for speaking aggressively to heiress Princess Clinton.
You mean there are douchebags for all candidates? NO SHIT.
Who knows, lol. Its the primary where the donors all made up and the dollars dont matter
That's bullshit. Plenty of Bernie supporters are critical of him in this thread and elsewhere.
You should peddle your disingenuous narrative to a less-gullible crowd.
Yes it's amazing that so many of his supporters are so sensitive as to be bothered when somebody uses his given name and not Bernie.
The other candidates should already be planning to aggressively call out Biden's racist and sexist past, including his comments about missing the days when you could go have lunch with segregationists and his treatment of Anita Hill. This VP ploy thing just heightens the need for it. Might as well be stark about what's happening.
I can see Sanders, Warren, Harris, and even O'Rourke bringing these things up. The latter 2 seem more conventional in the substance of their politics, particularly O'Rourke, but I think in terms of style, they seem willing to be bold. IDK about the others.
I hope they grill him!

Yeah the instigator is you, and you are doing it on purpose. Stop being intellectually dishonest.
Agreed. I quite happily call myself a Bernard Brother
Yea there were a lot of people ITT dragging him for saying nice things about McCain. I woulda too if I was awake when that tweet hit.
User Banned (5 Days): Trolling and antagonizing other members over a series of posts
Then ignore me... and others who call him bernard. Not too difficult.
Heh, it works.
Damn, more individual donations than Bernard and Robert combined. So this is the power of Math
Going out of your way to type more characters just to be a shit is ridiculous. Call him what he's called.
Not even a Bernie fan but I still find it stupid. I wouldn't ignore people that use it because then I'd be missing out on reading posts by people that provide good political commentary. It's just a shame to me they aren't above such low-effort trolling.
HOW DARE YOU!!!! Offer up 35 hail Bernies now to be forgiven.
He'll legally have to report his numbers soon, so having your website say you can get to the debates doesn't actually get him to the debates. Saying he has enough money/donors does the opposite of favor him if he doesn't have that money.
