Well, the first rule of governance is you have to attain the position to govern. Do you believe Bernie will succeed against Trump?
Yes..

Bloomberg is only in this to help Bernie get the nomination and lose to Trump whether he knows it or not.
I can't help you when it comes to reading for comprehension. Only you can do that.
When you preselect the party you plan to vote for, you're no longer an INDEPENDENT. Something I've suspected all along.
I'm an anti-Tweetycult independent. The best way to get him and his fellators out of office is to vote for the only other viable option. That doesn't make me a DNC fan, as you would know if you actually read my posts. Hope that this helps to clear it up for you, though I'm not optimistic.

Being an independent is based on political positions. Being determined to vote Trump out is sane.
What issue gets you kicked out of the democratic party and liberal label?
We'll see who you pick, good luck finding a Democrat who votes like a non-Trump Republican.

Yeah, Medicare for All and forgiving all college loan debt is Independent. :roll: sheesh
I'm European center left, which is to the left of most of them. Also, I find them to often be inept and unable to prioritize issues. FFS, just be the party of the workers, or at least make that your central message.
I think you're not the only person that fails to see what independent means. I didn't wake up one day and decide to be independent. I didn't think, "hey, that sounds cool, why not try it". Independent is not a means, it's an end. Independent is when both democrats and republicans throw you out of the party; it's when both liberals and conservatives disown you. It's not a choice. It's a result. I could no more be a Democrat or liberal than I could a Republican or conservative. Upon discovery, I'd be tarred and feathered and then run out of town.
I don't camp outside 'cause it's cool. They all done thrown me out.
Is it cool? Yes. Does it make me like James Dean? Yes. Does it make all the guys wanna be me and all the gals wanna be with me? Yes. But that's not the point. That, as well, is merely what I'm stuck with.
When a non-Trumper decides he'd rather vote for extreme socialism, he was never Republican of any stripe.
Only one hour into the debate. . . it's a bloodbath.
Everyone is ganging up on Mini-Mike. Pocahontas threw some haymakers at Mini-Mike, be he landed on his feet. The audience oohed and ahhhed.
Quid Pro Joe is really on his game tonight. . . naturally, there were a few gaffes, but he seemed very strong supporting status quo Obamacare. He pointed out the fact that Comrade Bernie's medicare-for-all would cost taxpayers $37 Trillion over 10 years.. . . . It would crush our economy. I agreed with him on that point.
Klobuchar got a few laughs from the audience, but it's pretty clear she's just not presidential material. Buttigieg was eloquent and compelling. He mixed it up with Comrade Bernie which was funny.:beat
There's no wanna-be independents. Either ya done got kicked out or ya didn't. When lefties hear about my fiscal policy, they get uneasy. When they hear about my foreign policy, the pitchforks come out (they don't use torches anymore).
Lefties really hate my pro-death penalty stance and righties really hate my immigration stance. Win win!
