If the goal is to change them why is the Sanders campaign's response to this just a victory lap for an endorsement?
Sanders' core supporters not showing up isn't where he did real damage to Clinton in the 2016 election. Him running around the rust belt railing against NAFTA and TPP as the Democratic establishment sending jobs overseas for corporate gains was the real blow. Come the election there was massive drop in white working class support for the Dem party in the rust belt, and union voting block powers are weaker than they've ever been.
Of course, though I'd love for a Sanders die hard to actually give a response. Threads like these are when the Sanders base lets you know what their strongest convictions really are.
If the point of going on the podcast is to spread his platform to more people and possibly earn new supporters, plugging the interview by calling the podcast host and all of the listeners ignorant bigots is a terrible idea. Yeah, it would be rad, but counterintuitive to why he went on there in the first place. He didn't go on the podcast so he can now have an important discussion about casual racism in our culture, he went on the podcast to campaign.
Are they progressive? Also, can you put me on to a few. I'd like to follow them.
So what is he campaigning for?
Sanders has direct culpability in the loss, as does Clinton.
It's fuck Joe Rogan all day, and if I was Bernie I would stay far away from this bullshit, but asking why he isn't out here condemning Joe Rogan and criticizing him seems silly, it's obvious why.
By Rogan himself. As someone else pointed out, do you really think Warren, who won't do interviews with Fox News, and Biden, who basically only deals in perfectly manicured manstream coverage, were seriously courting Rogan?
Hyperbole and straw men are not the debate tactics of someone with a firm footing on rational ground. Its the response of the indoctrinated when the evidence at hand conflicts with blind faith.
Indoctrinated? What are you even talking about, I agree with you about Bernie, I don't particularly like any of the candidates as people tbh.
lol you really are incapable with dealing with the words people actually say
Ah yes, posting a youtube video from a human trafficker to make a point.
Lol.
What are you talking about? How does this have anything to do with what is being discussed?
So Sanders would replace RBG with a Far Right Conservative?
Just so we're really clear, you're calling a purity test the unease of minorities over making an ad featuring a transphobe and a racist.
Co-signed. The same behaviors are repeating, as if no one learned the last time we all played this game.
Yes and thats because Sanders attracts people who aren't dem voters whether they be people further to the left who have been burned by moderates too many times or people who usually don't vote. Like it still sucks that this is the case but its not a case of the democratic party being broken from within or anything, most of these people wouldn't have voted dem if he hadn't made them decide otherwise.
If its just about people "jumping into the trenches" why am I, someone who hopes Bernie wins, in here criticising him? Don't get me wrong, he has supporters in here who don't get why its not okay but that is less because its a cult or something, they just don't care about marginalised groups when anyone they like does something bad. This is also why Rogan himself is getting defended in here and not just Bernie.
Excuse?? I'm a Centrist because I'm not ok with Sanders propping up a known racist??
I'm talking about you.
