I'm curious why anyone supports Bernie Sanders. Tell me which one(s) it is? Multiple choice.

I voted "other" - the actor who plays him on SNL is funny and couldn't without Sanders antics.

1. That he believes what he says.
2. He wants to fight for a future he won't live to see.
3. His first concern is the welfare of his fellow man.
4. He drives the right-wing crazy.

I'm far from a Bernie Bro saying this.
 
That he has absolutely no ****ing chance of ever being elected...

that and he sounds like the voice over for Steinbrenner on Seinfeld...
 
1. That he believes what he says.

So he really does believe bread lines are a good thing?

3. His first concern is the welfare of his fellow man.

I don't think so. In 2016 he made over 1 million dollars from his book, and he only gave about 1% to charity. Bernie's first concern is Bernie.
 
He is completely honest about the need to greatly increase federal taxation of the middle class in order to (at least) double federal spending to offer "free" stuff to anyone who manages to get inside our borders. He will drive the DNC and much of the MSM nuts if (when?) he attains frontrunner status. He actually thinks that a socialist can be elected POTUS and has current poll numbers to back it up. He takes AOC completely seriously.
 
I'd vote for my bookie before I'd vote for Trump
I'm not voting in the Dem primary but I also dont care who they nominate. That person will get my vote because anyone running from the Dems is better than Trump. And I'm someone who has voted GOP in elections, including McCain for President. I'm very mixed on my views, but Trump is just awful. There were several GOP candidates vying against Trump that would have been considered over Hillary and voted for over some of the other Dems competing with her last election had the primaries came out differently.

he supports some things that the rest of the first world has been doing for decades, like single payer. he also doesn't roll around in cheeto dust. that being said, my top issue is win.
 
He has consistently held progressive principles; he protested against segregation, supported LGBT+ rights, and opposed costly foreign wars. I appreciate that.
 
He has consistently held progressive principles;

Yes, like voting for the disastrous 1994 crime bill, or when he co-sponsored a bill to truck nuclear waste from lily-white Maine and Vermont to a very poor Hispanic town in Texas.

Very progressive indeed.

Which he stated was a compromise to support the Violence Against Women Act.

"I have a number of serious problems with the crime bill, but one part of it that I vigorously support is the Violence Against Women Act. We urgently need the $1.8 billion in this bill to combat the epidemic of violence against women on the streets and in the homes of America."

Very progressive indeed.

Try harder bruh.

These are the threads that supporters of Sen. Sanders need to read so they can see who their real enemy is. It sure as hell isn't any Democrat.

So? He still voted for it.

Where are the excuses for him wanting to dump nuclear waste from his wealthy lily-white state to a poor Hispanic town?

I get in your world where compromise is a dirty term and any kind of percieved weakness is akin to treason, but in real life you have to give a little to get a litt.e

Probably the fact that Texas, parts of which receive less than 12 inches of rainfall a year, in the Sierra Blanca area it's water comes from an aquifer 700 feet underground is a better place to avoid runoff than the wet and human climate of the north-east.

But don't let geology and basic environmental considerations get in your way.

What a coincidence that the environmentally perfect place to dump nuclear waste created by white people ends up to be a politically week town filled with brown people.

Don't worry, comrade Sanders will be questioned on both of these issues if he wins the nomination. We'll see if the public is as naive as you're pretending to be.

Imho, your state is ground zero for this election; the absolutely most important.

1. Incumbent Democratic Governor; 2. Incumbent Republican Senator where there’s a Democratic primary; 3. More friendly congressional district map for Democrats;

4. Crucially important: gaining enough seats in both of your state legislative chambers to force at least a tie in one of them for redistricting; 5. The RNC convention in Charlotte starting August 24th that will hopefully blow up in GOP faces;

6. Win back your state for the electoral college which Obama won in 2008 and lost in 2012 and in which Clinton lost; 7. Run off enough on South Carolina to upset lindsey graham;
 
Do you really want to put up Bernie against Trump?

Only the far left is going to vote for Bernie.

Klobuchar is the one you have to worry about. As a woman, whose turn it is supposed to be, regardless of qualifications. She would most likely get 90 some percent of the female vote just because she is female. At least Bernid is so flawed that he can't win, I hope.
 
GOP both federal and state in my state have lost my votes for at least this election. Federally for Trump (they all sided with him) and state because of the horribly dirty crap they pulled by holding a vote during an hour of mourning/observance after agreeing not to do so. Basically pulling dirty political tricks.

Lmao

It's fun to watch you fall apart and start blathering random **** when it becomes clear that the argument you pulled from a Turning Point USA meme you saw on Facebook doesn't actually hold water. Maybe you should try hitting refresh until it gives you a new line to regurgitate here.
