Yes, pearl clutching.

Woe is me....................... We are doomed.
Did you read this opinion piece?


.............................
"I don’t know exactly how they are going to do it – more convenient caucus kerfuffles, super-delegates, shenanigans at the convention – but there is no way your masters will ever let you win. Like I said, you’re socialists, and therefore stupid, so you will get cheated and you will end up having to vote for the Verne Troyer of American big-money politics.

And, like the obedient saps you are, you’ll do it.

Now, at this point, you probably have some complaints about this column. By complaining, you can temporarily distract from the indisputable fact that your own foolishness has put you in the position of being crushingly humiliated by the Democratic elite once again. Let me briefly address your whiny protests.

Yes, I say “socialist” like it’s a bad thing. This is because it’s a very bad thing. Like, to the tune of 100 million corpses bad thing. I’ve actually lived in the ruins of socialism and you, well, you had a man-bunned sociology TA tell you it was swell. And you believed him because you are a dupe. Be glad that I am assuming that you are stupid instead of the only other reason one would ever cavort with these blood-stained goblins: that you are evil.

But he’s a “democratic socialist,” you interject, because you are stupid. Would you feel fine with a “democratic Nazi?” Actually, you probably would, since Nazis are just a genre of socialist with white and black added to the color palette. "

.....................................

"There will be more primary and caucus “surprises,” except the only people who will be surprised are you suckers. If it gets as far as the convention, your masters will adjourn to the un-smoke-filled rooms and decide for you who you will vote for. And you’ll whine and winge and ultimately obey like the good little suckers you are.

See, you bought into the idea that another four years of prosperity and peace under Donald Trump is much, much worse than reinstalling the party apparatus that has screwed you over in the last two cycles. You’ll ignore the economy, the lack of new wars, the trade rebalancing, and all the other stuff and instead focus on what your masters have commanded you to focus on: that Trump tweeted something mean. Oh, and Russians.

And here’s why you will let the Democrat puppetmasters succeed. It’s because you are stupid. Now, you could stop being stupid. You could refuse to play along. You could even insist Bernie run as a third-party candidate. I like that because it guarantees Trump II: Fossil-Fuel Generated Electric Boogaloo. But it would serve your interests too by forcing the party to recognize and respect you instead of assuming you’ll fall into line once again. But you won’t. You’re all talk and no revolution. Take off that Che t-shirt and put on one with Mini Mayor’s pouty little mug on it. He’s your man. You’re all Bloomberg Bros. Just give it time.

You’re saps, and you’ll take whatever you’re given and tell yourself you like it."
 
Unfortunately for you and the rest of the phucktards, that's not what TDS stands for. Not now. Not ever.
When I look up TDS using an cronym finder it say -- Trump Dick Suckers!!! Go figure.......
My bad it also says -- Trump Dong Suckers.........
Sorry again it says -- Trump Dumb Shit..........
 
Bernie is older than I'd like but he's fine. Really there are like 4 good candidates on the Democratic side. If you're worried that Bernie will do do crazy stuff the trump era has shown pretty clearly just how hard it is for domestic policy to get done in general. I wouldn't mind a Bernie Stacy Adams ticket or a Bernie Beto ticket.

How about a Bernie/warren ticket?

I dunno, I think Bernie's VP pick should try to shore up his weaknesses instead of doubling-down on his progressive creds since those are never going to be in doubt. Plus I think the primary will get heated enough that other candidates might not be viable VP picks.
 
Bernie Sanders is healthcare reform.
Not what Obama did, and not what Trump promises.
I’ve experienced universal healthcare or government ran healthcare.
And damn it was indeed very nice and effective.
Imagine going to a doctor or needing an X-ray or some funny bump on your nose that needs a dermatologist care, then walking away owing nothing and expecting nothing in form of a bill.
It’s sad, but Americans really have no idea. No idea.
They, we are so easily convinced and so easily fearful of change or believing a better life is possible, that we stick with the same old failed system.
We fear the worst may happen while not realizing the worst is already happening.
I’ve seen the other side. I’ve experienced a better way. A way where great care minus the profits and greed is possible. Just imagine your healthcare so finely tuned and so readily available, and without the greed. You’re healthcare becomes as a granted and a subject never again to be concerned with. Or to worry about.
Like driving a car... you just press on the gas and it goes.
You don’t need to worry about what that car might do when you press on the gas.
It just does its thing. Simple!
America healthcare could easily be the same. You need it and it just goes.
But no, people will be fooled and fearful and remain with failure and greed and believing that this is the best we can do.
So sad... So very sad...

Really?
I've experienced government healthcare and it fucking sucks.

I hear that but that kind of defeats the whole point of voting for Bernie. If you are voting for Bernie, I assume it’s because you like his progressive message and policies, isn’t that negated by going with a safe pick?

If Bernie is too “radicle” for some, what would a less progressive VP do for those people?

Progressives won't abandon Bernie over a VP pick unless he does something completely insane. I should clarify I don't necessarily mean to pick someone more moderate, just someone that shores up any of Bernie's weaknesses. A VP like Stacey Abrams would help his outreach to black voters, for example.

Ah I see. I think once it becomes apparent that Bernie is the front runner, black support should increase dramatically.
 
A Sanders/Gabbard anti-war ticket might actually work. Run on all of Trump's failed promises from 2016.
hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaa.......Comedy Gold right there!!!!
I hear Trump is dumping Pence to add Tulsi as his VP for 2020........
For certain Trump would win if Sanders VP was Tulsi......

Sanders is a loser anyway you slice it no matter who he picks as a VP.
 
I am surprised that Trump hasn`t sent Giuliani to Russia to dig up some dirt on Bernie, since Bernie took his honeymoon in Russia.....

I suppose it's too early for that, as Bernie isn't the nominee yet. I do wonder, though. Be weird to have a Putin-driven effort to slam Sanders as 'too soft on Russia', but we live in strange times.
 
As an American who votes mostly Dem, Bernie doesn't stand a chance. Actually, the Dems are screwed IMO. Bernie will be known as the socialist who wants to raise your taxes while handing out free medical, and college tuition like candy. We aren't ready for a woman POTUS, and Bloomberg will be labeled as the out of touch Billionaire by Trump.

I know a guy who has a terrible back issue. I've asked him about his back, and he told me that he needs xrays. The thing is he has health insurance thru his work, but it sucks. He can't afford the copay for those xrays. He also only makes $11 an hour. But, he has a new car that he makes $400 car payments. In effect, he's living paycheck to paycheck. That's like over 70% of the country. Very sad IMO.

Our Healthcare favors the wealthy. I saw this when I took care of my uncle who had Parkinson disease. He was a multi millionaire. He got the best treatment by the best doctors. When I drove him to one of the leading neurologist in this country I saw Mercedes Benz, BMWs, Lexus, and even a few lambos. You've got the money, you'll get the best and greatest care. You don't got the money? Well you're SOL.

exactly. I don't think many people really grasp that fact.

Cast against Trump's healthcare record I'm becoming somewhat skeptical that the evil socialist label they want to pin on Sanders is going to be as effective as they think. Basically nobody thinks Trump has done a good (or even remotely acceptable) job in this area.
