But to do what he and we want, Bernie needs social democrats in Congress. Savior presidents don’t exist_

@RoboGraham Your point about the Bernie Bros being a tiny problem compared to our widespread society problems is right on, and I have seen that counter-argument being used by both Bernie and his surrogates in the corporate media, but I wonder how effective it is, when most Americans do not get nuance or complexity in discussions. I admit that all they have to attack Bernie on is his socialist label, his remarks on Cuba and other governments that aren't capitalists, and the Bernie Bros. Warren was really a snake in her interview with Rachel Maddow smearing Bernie as much as she could on the Bernie Bros issue.

@RoboGraham It's possible that the economy may crash before the election, at least the stock market, because of the coronavirus, and if it does, Trump might lose because of that and his mismanagement of it. Unlike Hurricane Katrina, which W totally blew, this crisis will affect most working class white people, including many who voted for Trump.

@RoboGraham I often wonder tho if the whole Bernie Bros thing might really be a false flag run against Bernie by online trolls who are really Russian or Repub operatives. These days, you can't be too paranoid. I have heard Bernie suggest that the Bernie Bros thing might be a fake thing perpetrated by people who aren't his supporters that is done to hurt him. Whether that is or isn't the case, there really isn't a good way to defend himself on that without airtight proof of a plot, because the feminists will never believe him if he denies it without proof.

@RoboGraham Now that you've explained it, I totally agree. I also think that all the Russiagate stuff from the Dems and corporate media during the last couple years served two purposes as well. It allowed them to fill air time during the Bernie blackout and it also served as a distraction on how the Dems were not even attempting to serve the interests of the masses while blaming their loss in 2016 on anyone but Hillary and the party's contempt for working class Americans. The point of my earlier post is that it was a waste of time as far as actually trying to remove him from office or hurt his re-election chances.

@RoboGraham I agree with you that the whole impeachment attempt ended up being a waste of time by the Dems and will now only help Trump in the general. You are one of the few lefties who seems to agree wtih me about that.

There is another presidential contender who has his sights set on social security and medicare.

TomMcGiverin replies on Mar 7, 2020:

Meaning Biden. Even Obama was looking at cutting SS, Medicare and Medicaid. Only a progressive prez will keep those programs safe, not a corporate Dem.

Do you fear a possible coronavirus pandemic?

TomMcGiverin comments on Mar 7, 2020:

This virus will mainly kill off the elderly and the working poor, both of which are groups that the ruling class sees as expendable. The working poor can easily replaced by more of the same, so no need for the government to help them with a financial bailout to cover medical costs and paid sick ...

@RoboGraham I just got pissed at him because he dismissed your post as Dem talking points and then labelled my comment a baseless reply. Too much of a dick for me.

Bobbyzen comments on Mar 6, 2020:

If Biden is the nominee, Trump will skewer him on his record, not to mention his plagiarism, his corporate donors, his sexism, his cognitive issues...and if Biden fights back with similar slings, it turns into a food fight, which will hurt Biden more because he will be dragged down into Trump’s ...
