Bernie Sanders Is Dropping Out of 2020 Democratic Race for President

Why do you think republicans approve of a Hitler/Mussolini, Franco/Putin strong man in Trump right now?

Your analogy doesn't make sense. Maybe I missed the article where millions of Jews have been put to death since 2016.

Yeah like the republicans never did that to Obama.:roll:

And the republicans didn't get the party of no moniker for nothing.

Never forget


John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

You may have missed how the Bernie left trashed Buttigieg. I’ve got no use for him because he’s never won a state-wide or District seat. He’s not interested in building a Democratic bench in Indiana which is completely depleted.

Perhaps. But I think he embodies the right ideals for the expanding new century.

I admit I was not happy with the bolded escalation during the latter parts of the season.

But I am very much attracted to Bernie's fight (and conviction). I think we need more of that.

I'm definitely not a Bernie Sander's supporter, and I would completely agree with his continuity throughout his political career. Even when a majority of other Democratic candidates in the 2020 race continued to slide in their position to appear more attractive to their constituents.

But they will age, just like the rest of us, and they will introduce younger candidates who are going to change the face of politics in a good and more equitable way. I can't wait for them to come into their own soon.

It’s difficult for me to be calm when I think of Nader 2000, REDMAP 2010, Senate 2014, and turd parties 2016. My first vote was McGovern, though this iteration of the GOP has been with us since Nixon/Joe McCarthy.

How do you tell younger folks they’ve screwed their own pooch for decades to come, especially with the federal judiciary? Losin June Senate seats you mcconnell in 2014 effectively ended the Obama years.

I think Amy will fight in a manner that will allow her to help pull the critical Midwestern states (Midwest sensibilities, and all that). That may be enough. However ...
I see Kamala as the better street-fighter in response to Trump and his Trumpian attack machine.
Despite her early dropping, I think Harris would make an excellent attack dog. And that's been the traditional job of a veep during the campaign - attack dog. She can go after Trump on his own level, while Biden takes the high road we're hopping will prevail.

You haven’t seen the coherent yet Angry Amy yet. That will be one of the first slams on her, in regards to her being tough on her staff.

Yes, the prospect of our first black President who told everyone what they wanted to here achieved the goal of better voter turnout that waned when his results during his first term were realized, that plus the fact that his resume finally came to a head showing zero leadership and management skills of a private sector economy, one you don't understand either. Maybe you ought to move to a country more to your liking and one where you can have the gov't make decisions for you on things like healthcare

Bad rubbish are the Republican terrorists that killed Milwaukee Democrats yesterday. Bad rubbish is trump openly stating that the vote for Democrats must be held down at all costs, destroying our Democracy.

LOL, how many times do you want me to post the California votes??? We don't elect Presidents by popular vote and California proved exactly why. Calling the President an "orange asshole" obviously makes you feel better but shows you to be nothing but an immature, radical leftwing cult follower where you blame all your personal problems on the President

After taking a quick glance at your displayed 'lean', I can see this not feint praise on your part.

But yeah - I respect those that are principled & honest in their convictions, as I believe Bernie is.

I don't think any particular corner of the political spectrum has the exclusive key to the best path forward for America, but rather we've always moved the country forward from the middle. Bernie has his place in the conversation, even if we as a country do not end-up deploying his policies writ large.

Since I presume you never took introductory logic courses in either high school or college or did not pay attention in class, let me spell this out for you, Linc. Two people can be terrible simultaneously. One person being bad does not transform another person into not being bad. Bernie Sanders was a terrible candidate on his own terms. His being terrible does not transform Donald Trump into a good president. Donald Trump being a terrible person and president does not transform Bernie Sanders into a good candidate.
 
hermit said:
Gotta ask you this. You don't think Amy is a fighter? She gets stuff done consistently in Congress, passes bills and bills and bills. Kamala is a fighter? She dropped out of the race ages ago. Not much fight there.

Now having said that, I am for Kamala for VP. I think Amy is too valuable right where she is to change her status.
Click to expand...

Personally I like Amy for VP more than Harris, because she may be able to help with Michigan and Wisconsin in addition to Minnesota. That whole region needs to go deep blue this election. Harris can only potentially help Biden win California by more votes.

Then trying to withhold pre-conceived notions, I will do my best to try to remain patient.

You accepted the fact that 2008 voter suppression occurs, and you didn't counter it, so there is that.

Plus, I did not realize that trying to garner votes was taboo, weird.

I understand that despite the attempts by the GOP to sabotage via austerity, the economy rose at the same trend 2010-2020, longest sustained recovery eveh. And then he won reelection, despite GOP voter suppression.

Maybe you ought to move to a country more to your liking and one where you can have the gov't make decisions for you on things like healthcare

We are well on our way to national HC, by popular choice.

I accept the FACT that you are a biased partisan liberal cult followers who has no idea what she is talking about on any issue. You buy what the arrogant left tells you and ignores anything that refutes it including actual data and fact. It is amazing how people believe National healthcare is the answer when Medicare is already running deficits but as usual you have no idea how to take care of 328 million people in 50 different states with 50 different tax structures and where the incentive is for doctors to provide that service.

I really feel sorry for people like who when proven wrong it will be too late to say how sorry you were

You are a Democratic Supporter so why don't you tell us what a Biden Administration is going to do that will satisfy you and what results we can expect that we don't already see under Trump?

Didn't say we did, your point was "libs are the minority", I have to remind you what your point was....as you try to move your goal post.


and California proved exactly why.

I still don't understand this nutty comment, why don't CA votes count?

I haven't done much research on Amy K's background. What makes her an attractive candidate?
 
I hope Tulsi runs as an independent for those of us that rather not vote for a rapist. #Believewomen unless they accuse someone I intended to vote for.

It is most definitely admirable for an individual to remain consistent throughout their political career, even when I don't agree with their policies or political stance (regardless of my political leaning).
