well, her shady new Super PAC is spending in upcoming states, who knows who it's on behalf of.

A non-progressive presidency means that poor people will die. It means that poor people will stay poor. It means that the rich will stay rich.
that's fair and people will ultimately make their own calculation. i'm not going to say fuck you or call someone a stain on humanity if they decide to vote for Biden. but I can only make this point on Clinton: people in the richest country on Earth may have got RBG, but he also bombed the shit out of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Sudan that caused tens of thousands of people in one of the poorest countries on Earth to die because they couldn't access medicines they urgently needed. i don't think a president Biden or Sanders will be able to push their domestic policy agenda. but they have a lot of power over foreign policy. and there is always a narrative that privileges the lives of people in first-world countries when ultimately the most important role and influence the next president will have is international and foreign policy, not domestic.OK, I hear you. As another queer person who's been at this fight for a while, gotten arrested protesting, gotten gay bashed multiple times, I've always chosen the least horrible option and literally never ever been 100% happy with my choice in a general and usually extremely disappointed. But I have always done it to move progress along in at least a small way or to block something worse from happening. I mean look at Bill Clinton. Very, very problematic Bill Clinton. He did a lot of bad. But he also brought us RBG. So I say just mourn if Sanders is out and do some self care then vote for Biden in the general if it's him. And if you won't do it for yourself, do it for some queer kid who will need help in the future <3
This is not the reason. It's because they believe they can play up a narrative that Bernie got screwed by the DNC and thus suppress voter turnout on the whole, which is how they win.It's because Bernie has been (correctly) identified as a weak candidate and the Republicans are on their art of war shit. Trump hasn't been all over the world looking for dirt on Bernie like he did Biden. He's "cheering" for him in twitter. Big contrast.
Which follows the 2018 trend of new Dem voters being moderate suburbanites who are tired of Trump but don't want a socialist.
TBH, I'd prefer Pete as President (not for a GE). At least his main focus for the entire campaign would solve most of our problems with new states and tackling voter suppression and he's for getting rid of the buster and court packing.
they literally would. check any second choice poll done in a month.Why? Her voters would likely not go in large part to Bernie anyway? If anything her staying in is only helping him
Frankly, people should look at maybe America will never have progressive policies as the truthIt's simple. America doesn't care for ultra-progressive policies rn.
with warren in and bloomberg probably out, yeah
bloomberg is getting out. if warren doesn't drop out tomorrow im gonna fucking primary her
Never mind that it moronically acts as though Trump had no votes in California, that California is just some giant block of Dem votes. He also would lose millions from his total if you just erased California."If you remove millions of americans from the equation, then trump wouldve won by (the same amount we just took out) millions. "
Amazing logic.
YUP. If Bernie never labeled himself a socialist and resisted the urge to praise the positive actions of otherwise oppressive regimes, this would be a different story.
It's the truth, unfortunately.
lmaoBest case scenario I see for Biden winning is that he replaces RBG with Merrick Garland (even with a Dem senate) and then he loses to Richard Spencer or whatever nazi the gop puts up in 2024. Lmao this country is fucked

Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line. I'm of the mindset that Sanders was always a losing proposition and what we are seeing with Biden would always play out as leader of the moderates. Elections are about time and place in the world. Where are we at as a country. What is our biggest goal? Removal of Trump. That's it, full stop. This is not to say Bernie and his platform are flawed but it isn't going to win a national nomination right now. Change is incremental throughout history and most people, myself included, are not trying to hear all of the pie in the sky stuff being said because it won't go over well with the masses. This election is about electability. Maybe in twenty years, with a slow escalation of policies that makes a platform like Bernie has more palatable for people to digest but you are asking people to count to ten by fives by voting for Bernie and by ones by voting for a moderate. One is a shock to the system, one is not. Most of these polls you see are a loud and vocal minority screaming about Bernie and does not represent the masses.
Even as an aside, have you ever wondered why every single gop person seems to be rooting for Bernie, why Russia wants Bernie to win the nomination?
Or even telling people to vote for Bernie in the primaries.
It's because Bernie has been (correctly) identified as a weak candidate and the Republicans are on their art of war shit. Trump hasn't been all over the world looking for dirt on Bernie like he did Biden. He's "cheering" for him in twitter. Big contrast.
Sometimes, the truth is going to end up revealing itself and smack you in the face. Instead of being mad that it smacked you, figure out why it's smacking you and move accordingly. This election is about electability. Biden is ridiculously flawed as a candidate and I'll hold my nose voting for him in November, knowing we have a chance. You won't get that same comfort with Bernie at the booth.
Explain to me why some Americans should not count? Scratch that, explain to me why some Americans should count more.
Explain to me why a system that, 20 years ago, ignored the will of the people and gave us Bush Jr. and his wars.
Explain to me why a system that, 4 years ago, ingored the will of the people and gave us corrupt sack of shit, donald trump.
Explain to me why this country should have minority rule, and why Bush Jr. and Trump were good things that saved us from "mob rule"
"Better things aren't possible"Frankly, people should look at maybe America will never have progressive policies as the truth
It all matters. Change is slow.We fought so fucking hard. And yet none of it mattered against the moderate powerhouse. Fucking sucks
With Biden as nominee it's basically a race between Trump and Not-Trump. Biden will be the "lesser of two evils" option. Whereas Bernie could actually mobilizing new and disenfranchised voters.
big fucking sigh, America is the worst
Reading this kinda made my chest sink, ughBest case scenario I see for Biden winning is that he replaces RBG with Merrick Garland (even with a Dem senate) and then he loses to Richard Spencer or whatever nazi the gop puts up in 2024. Lmao this country is fucked
Bloomberg's camp still feels confident about being a contender for the nomination. e must think a brokered convention is still viable.
This is not remotely overWe fought so fucking hard. And yet none of it mattered against the moderate powerhouse. Fucking sucks
There, unfortunately, seems to be little evidence of that so far in this primary.With Biden as nominee it's basically a race between Trump and Not-Trump. Biden will be the "lesser of two evils" option. Whereas Bernie could actually mobilizing new and disenfranchised voters.

There will be another election and Sanders has certainly inspired other young progressive politicians.We fought so fucking hard. And yet none of it mattered against the moderate powerhouse. Fucking sucks
Let's fucking gooooooobernie is .4 points away from being viable in alabama, come through king
We do have them, in the states. Many states are passing 15 dollar minimum wage bills, free college at the associate level, and so on.Frankly, people should look at maybe America will never have progressive policies as the truth
I honestly think she will support Biden. Bernie has no friends, unfortunately.
