A registered elected Democrat is not a Democrat but an independent Bernie who is not even the main stream of the Democratic values deserves to win the nomination of the grand historic Democratic Party?

@St-Sinner Yes he does.

@St-Sinner Buttigieg is another bought and paid for politician. Bernie on the other hand has had consistency for over 30 plus years, voting against war, higher taxes on the rich, and several polices for the working class. Bernie's average donation is 18 dollars. Buttigieg doesn't even support medicare for all, I can't support someone who cares more about his billionaire donors than the well being of americans.

@OwlInASack You still have lipstick left for Bernie?

These Americans are off their nut, they wouldn't know how to vote in their best self interest if you drew them a map and laid down breadcrumbs.

@Surfpirate I can agree with it. We are so Conservatively fucked that we do not know what we are doing and what we should do.

But the solution to this problem is not Bernie. The solution is to work with the system, get a winning candidate to go down their throat and we kick their ass from the white house until cows come home day after day.

@St-Sinner try to get past the Us and Them outlook, there is no US in the USA system, it's just them because they bought and paid for everything decades ago. Once you get past the two party system BS, you can develop a shot at moving forward and actually winning.

@St-Sinner and your proposing we get rid of all our potential candidates and find someone "acceptable" ... With less than 9 months left in the race...YOUR A TROLL...go back to the Republican Party your not welcome here.

@phoenixone1 I have been saying since last January (2019). But it is never too late to stop the damage.

@St-Sinner sorry but nobody in their right mind would even consider switching this late in the primaries...just out of morbid curiosity...who would YOU suggest as a Democratic Nominee?

I’m like-minded. I voted for Hillary because the DNC the establishment fucked the voters and Bernie leaving me no choice. I didn’t like her but I knew the country would prosper versus where we are today. This years election is more than a dem win or a Bernie win—it’s about the 99% maintaining their position in this nation. We are seeing ppl busy and ignorant making emotional decisions based of lies and half truths not knowing the impact those decisions are and will have in their own lives and their families. My entire life I hear those speak of “if the govt tries and over throw the people we will “@& “ Yeah yeah well they are doing it now and you are giving them the keys to the kingdom. Today they agree with the overthrowing of democracy because they are conned into believing it’s good for them. What happens when they no longer agree?!? Won’t matter because there will be no stopping them. This is OUR country not only “theirs” theirs equaling Rich white guys on top fuck them it’s our time

A vote for an independent is a vote for tRUMP...you say you couldn't care less if tRUMP is re-elected...that says it all. At least your honest. Sorry you feel that way though...that kind of apathy is what got us into this mess in the first place.

Bloomberg is dismissed by everybody. It is a matter of time when he will drop out. I am paying attention to candidates who are making huge claims with a big hoopla and splash but are failing got live up to it... like Bernie and Biden.

@OwlInASack How can I be anti-semitic or racist? I have a Jew friend and I have a black friend... lol

@OwlInASack Don't worry, after Bernie Sanders crashes and his ass is hit out of the park by the worst president ever, called Trump, the dust will settle, the grass will look greener, you will see the birds are singing again and the wind breeze is so refreshing again.... There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

@OwlInASack I will rejoice because the Democracy would be saved, We will make a rule that will not allow rogue candidates like Bernie to claim the party platform for presidency and give it a bad name. We must keep the fringe and extreme elements out of the party. Else we are going to look just like the white supremacists of Trump.

@OwlInASack I call it facts, you call it lies. That is not objectivity. That is a bias and blind faith in Bernie.

@OwlInASack

Our answer to the Republican lies is not a retort with a terrible alternative that is a self destructive.

I have no love for Republicans or Trump. I hardly vote on party lines. I try to see what my candidate is like and whether he or she will vote his or her conscience or just be a rubber stamp. I like some of Trump's issue handling, his gutsy actions, defiance of the political correctness etc. but hate everything else about him.

We all dislike our enemy on different levels but we must like our candidate. We must like our positioning. He or she must be sound and can win. On all counts Bernie fails. I am not criticizing Bernie because I do not like him. I am fighting the madness of running after a weak and non winnable candidate that will bring a defeat to Democrats for the history books and will keep Democrats out of power In Washington and all state houses for many terms to come. It can happen. It happened somewhat during Obama. In 2015, more than 53% state houses were under Republican control that could decide on voters registration, Gerrymandering, gender bathrooms, abortion and Medicare participation. We have to think about it all. Just look at how emboldened Republicans are after defeating Hillary. I cannot imagine what Trump will do after a massive victory that will look like a landslide. One generation's life will change for ever if not of more generations'. America as we know will have deeply changed.

If you want to beat Trump, we cannot be in love with free healthcare. We must love only and only with one ething... Defeat Trump. Bernie cannot do it.

hmm.. too much Edge Edge?

What is amazing here is a 38 year old novice is making an experienced, 78 year old presidential candidate with huge funds, campaign network on the ground.... sweat in two first and important presidential primaries.

@Imatheistically and he is amazing he is a road scholar and speaks several languages he is quick on his feet he has religion that is not fake like some of the Christians in our country and think what trump will do when he is beaten by a queer hell have a fucking heart attack it will be glorious

@maturin1919 whats funny about being smart and he is a vet lots of reasons he is a good candidate and will make a good president hell a trans gay lesbian purple rock would be better

@maturin1919 im not and I knew I should have not made any comments but I let myself get drawn in I don't know all that hoity toity shit but I thank you for the correction im sure at one point I knew that I just forgot sometimes my fingers forget proper spelling and nit picky crap that at the moment im not worried about and I do sincerely thank you for the correction I see now you were not laughing at him being one but at me for not using the correct word and that is cool thanks I laugh at my own stupidity all the time

@maturin1919 Cory Booker was Rhodes too.

But after the huge fundraising, two time presidential runs, name recognition, troops on the ground, all network on the group, huge claims of popularity, Bernie taking the country by storm, the hoopla, and so much experience in running for president.....

should he be struggling?

@St-Sinner in a field of what, 7 candidates, to come out on top both times is phenomenal

@AnneWimsey Bernie should have done better but his base is not as strong as he thought and he did say his people should back whoever won to defeat trump so this time he is not dividing

@St-Sinner I mean it doesn't help that corporate and corrupt dems do whatever they can to make sure bernie doesn't win.

@Tejas it is a good effort. Berni'es damage must be stopped.

@St-Sinner Bernies damage wth are u talking about? Any dem candidate other than him is literally the same shit different election cycle. Really research neoliberalism. This election is beyond the dem and rep. They are all the same. Corp whores who are for sale to the highest bidder. Actually I don’t care I plan on leaving this shit show if a country as soon as I can. People are happier elsewhere. Those socialists in the EU live a standard much higher than Americans. No one including Bernie is pushing or wanting economic socialism, healthcare was non profit till Nixon. Today money is more important than people in healthcare it’s profit profit profit. I’m wasting my time lipstick
On swine. Keep thinking you are progressive cuz you aren’t you fear change. You prolly think FDR was insane too right? Fools
