  1. This guy is evidence that corporate media propaganda is effective.
    302
  2. Bernie would crush Trump. Biden would lose to Trump.
    248
  3. Claims to care about war while supporting a candidate who voted for extra bombs for trump.
    225
  4. Bernie Sanders is the real deal and Americans know it. Now they just need to make sure he is our next president.
    203
  5. Policy, integrity, and trust first. Bernie Sanders 2020
    175
  6. Claims to care about special interest groups controlling Washington while supporting a candidate who admits she will take legalized bribes should she make the general.
    143
  7. Yang supporters don't care that their candidate has zero experience and zero record to look at to know what they are getting like they should so I won't be surprised if this doesn't bother them either.
    61
  8. I will never vote for Biden. Bernie Sanders 2020
    50
  9. Hopefully he decides on Bernie Sanders.
    41
  10. I want whatever happy drug this guy is on. Unless liking Warren was one of the side effects.
    39
  11. In a sane world Charles Booker would win and it wouldn't be even close. Please let him win in this mess up world.
    32
  12. Accept no imitations. Bernie Sanders 2020!
    32
  13. Pretty much every policy Bernie is advocating for would disproportionately help blacks. Universal health care, providing college education, raising the minimum wage, criminal justice reform and legalizing weed, restoring voter rights to all, and more are all issues that disproportionately affect blacks and would disproportionately help blacks if implemented.
    31
  14. Just another useful idiot for the establishment.
    29
  15. Accept no imitations. Bernie Sanders 2020
    27
  16. Accept no imitations (which is what Warren is). Bernie Sanders 2020!
    25
  17. Fun fact: I'd write in Bigfoot for president before I'd vote for Biden.
    22
  18. Just when you think you can't be more cynical...
    22
  19. Literally everything Bernie advocates for would disproportionately help black americans.
    22
  20. I really like this guy... except for his praise of Warren.
    20
  21. Nah. But you would be crazy to think he will be locked up for this.
    19
  22. It's nice of him to admit neglecting an entire city.
    18
  23. Regarding, "WTF is wrong for them" They aren't bad people but they are brainwashed by too much corporate media. Propaganda works, sadly.
    17
  24. People need to be in prison and held accountable for Flint.
    15
  25. That was exactly my first thought.
    14
  26.  @noly310  Does Bernie marching with MLK count as doing? Does Bernie singlehandedly winning the war of ideas and swaying public opinion when it comes to universal health care count as doing even if it isn't the law of the land? Does Bernie forcing Amazon raise their minimum wage count as doing? Ultimately he can't do it all by himself. There is a reason he calls for a "political revolution."
    14
  27. Does this not count as a black agenda? https://berniesanders.com/issues/racial-justice/ Because I'm pretty sure it does even if you want to argue that it should do more and include reparations.
    13
  28.  @donHooligan  I'm probably better known for being a huge dick. I share your frustration but ultimately I don't blame this guy as much as I blame the sources of "news" that this guy uses to get all his information.
    12
  29. Nobody is perfect and I'm referring to the guy in the video. Fuck warren.
    11
  30. Policy, integrity, and trust first. Bernie Sanders 2020
    11
  31.  @alanparedes2034  She is not "an idiot." She is just very, very, very wrong about politics likely due to too much corporate media propaganda.
    10
  32.  @davidhoran7116  Fun fact: the "land of the free" imprisons more of it's citizens by total and by percentage of population and it isn't even close. By that metric we are, by far, the least free nation on the planet, by a mile.
    10
  33. We try by using facts, knowledge, and persuasion. He has been programmed so he can be unprogrammed, not that it is an easy task.
    10
  34.  @NGHealthCoach  Regarding, " where is the lie?" Well, regarding, "ADOS is not voting for Bernie." You do not speak for everyone so this cannot be true. Regarding, "said he did not think a black person could be on his ticket" He absolutely has not said this, aka a lie. Regarding, "no black agenda" https://berniesanders.com/issues/racial-justice/ Is clearly a black agenda. I hope you are at least getting paid well to smear Sanders.
    9
  35. Her cult is her crack.
    9
  36. By following the Biden signs and MAGA hats.
    9
  37. Following the money tells you more about a candidate than the words they use. Don't support candidates selling out to big money and corporate interests. Bernie Sanders 2020
    9
  38.  @mattstorm360  By demanding pelosi bring it to a vote to get their vote for her for speaker. Nancy needs their votes to be speaker.
    9
  39. Accept no imitations. Bernie Sanders 2020. Go subscribe to his youtube channel if you haven't already and get out and vote for him. Thank you in advance for that.
    8
  40. If you have a problem with a person because they are an "old, white man" then you are sexist. And ageist. And dumb.
    8
  41.  AntiSocial Atheist  Regarding, "You have never even looked at her record." Of course we have. We are actually the people most likely to study and scrutinize it. Regarding, "I love Bernie but people like you make me want him to lose." So you know there are people like us that are possibly not going to go out and vote for a person like warren because she, for example, is happy to take legalized bribes if she makes the general, and that makes you want Bernie to lose? That only makes sense if you want Trump to win because people like us are the difference between winning and losing the general. Regarding, "You believe only one man matters in American politics" Not true. Do you always strawman the opposing side like this?
    8
  42. Just another reason why we need universal health care.
    8
  43. She would only do it in a coordinated effort with biden while he dropped out IMO.
    8
  44. Nah. It's not that she is taking his plans. I'm fine with that. We want our plans adopted by her and everyone. It's about how much can she be trusted to fight for those plans while she openly admits that she is willing to sell out if she makes it to the general. That is where his focus needs to be, not about trying to take credit for progressive plans.
    7
  45. You are forgetting their campaign strategy of not having biden talk. That was obviously a good idea considering his foot in mouth syndrome.
    7
  46. Smart and moral too. The whole package.
    7
  47.  @dougcasey6117  Regarding, " I don't care to hear" You don't care about the blacks who don't have health care but could. You don't care about the blacks who can't afford to go to college but could. You don't care about the blacks making the minimum wage but could make more. You don't care about the blacks in jail for weed. You don't care about the blacks who can't vote. I question if you actually care at all.
    7
  48.  @mountaindweller777  True. Until they hold a primary where they claim it means something. And if that primary didn't mean anything that's fraud, illegal, and they should not be able to do that even under our lax laws.
    7
  49. Jimmy has covered this. But don't let that stop you from saying stupid shit.
    7
  50. Tom's not being subtle.
    7
  51. Accept no imitations. Bernie Sanders 2020. The OG progressive.
    6
  52. Yang embracing PAC money obviously is policy. Bernie doesn't do that even if there is a PAC out there that he can't control.
    6
  53. I have no idea why someone would want a fake when they can have the real deal. Accept no imitations. Bernie Sanders 2020!
    6
  54. I find it IMPOSSIBLE to take you even the least bit seriously.
    6
  55. Lack of evidence mostly.
    6
  56. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't be surprised if we found some evidence. But as of now it's lacking.
    6
  57. Wear it like a badge of honor. It just means you are doing something right. Fuck the corporate media.
    6
  58.  @Unclejamsarmy  Really well said.
    6
  59.  @darkempath7436  Regarding, " we're looking for tangibles" I'm confident that this stuff is "tangible" to blacks without health insurance, or access to education, or making the minimum wage, or in jail for weed, or unable to vote. You are not woke, at best you are a useful idiot for the establishment and at worst you are a disingenuous paid shill.
    6
  60.  @darkempath7436  I don't give a fuck about the party. The "democratic" party is a dumpster fire. But you should be ashamed of voting against your self interests for terrible reasons.
    6
  61. If Obama did even a half decent job there is no way the country would have been willing to give the keys to an orange clown.
    5
  62.  @darkempath7436  By us do you mean the paid shills lying about Sanders?
    5
  63.  @darkempath7436  Because the guy in video is genuine. Which is far more than can be said about you.
    5
  64.  @geddydesmond451  Regarding, "TDS seems to dictate that the DNC only cheats against its own party." Actually it's the lack of evidence. But don't let that stop you from strawmanning stupid shit like this.
    5
  65. The primary process should be overhauled from top to bottom and shit like this should be outlawed.
    5
  66. Barney called himself a "perfect candidate." Sounds like something Trump would say.
    5
  67. Bernie Sanders > all other candidates Bernie Sanders supporters > all other candidates supporters
    5
  68.  @RobertHo987  Fair enough.
    5
  69. "Why would they want to get more done for the people, than the Republicans?" Dems job is to give the peasants just enough crumbs to stop them from picking up their pitchforks. They are still evil.
    5
  70.  @sirfortesque8757  Regarding, "do u really think the average non political junkie is going to hold the Dems accountable" I don't let people who don't really know what's going on dictate my actions. I'm going to hold them accountable. Period.
    5
  71.  @ish7957  Regarding, "Homeboy has a point" He has defeatism, nothing more. Regarding, "Well those average non political junkie people out number us." Even non political junkies should have a certain amount of understanding that, for example, our health care system is broken. Trump was our last president. Biden is going to be our next one. I understand our government sucks and the people voting are idiots. But stop acting like that is a logical reason to not fight the good fight because it's not.
    5
  72. Not biden. He forgot.
    4
  73.  @BonerMaroner  I don't give a fuck about your excuses and rationalizations for Warren. Her record on the military is atrocious, she voted to give Trump more money for bombs than even the orange clown wanted. She didn't want to run against a corporate shill like Hillary in 2016 but wants to run against the clear leader of the progressive movement in 2020 to split the progressive vote and make it more like a corporate shill wins. She openly admits that if she makes the general she will take all the legalized bribes she can. She is controlled opposition to the real change this country needs. She is terrible and you are embarrassing yourself by defending her.
    4
  74.  @texjohnson9208  If you mean empty platitudes and empty promises in referring to Obama's message then yeah that isn't going anywhere as their will always be politicians looking to lie to you and Obama was a great liar. The question you should be asking yourself is if you are going to believe politicians when they sell you bullshit or are you going to require they actually mean what they say?
    4
  75.  Sheeshkebabz  You are embarrassing us. Sincerely, the human race.
    4
  76.  Sheeshkebabz  "Cry harder, neck." LMFAO. Am I suppose to be insulted by that?
    4
  77.  Sheeshkebabz  1/10 trolling
    4
  78.  @darkempath7436  Regarding, " nobody's lying about Sanders" Then I'm sure you can cite a source where Sanders said, "he did not think a black person could be on his ticket." Oh wait... he didn't. Regarding, "we're not voting for his old wrinkled stinking ass." That's right. You are voting for Trump's old, orange wrinkled stinking ass. I hope you are paid well for this shit but that you at least have a little trouble sleeping at night.
    4
  79.  @davidhoran7116  I thought freedom to conservatives meant being able to own an arsenal.
    4
  80. But you are already paying for their EMERGENCY care which is far more expensive because we don't just let people die. You are selfish and stupid.
    4
  81.  @geddydesmond451  Regarding, "evidence?" Yeah. Evidence dipshit. Regarding, "Pretty sure there is evidence they cheat." Then it shouldn't be hard for you to provide evidence of cheating in the general election if you want to believe it happened. But here you are. Not providing it.
    4
  82. I understand that lots of people want Bernie to do more tearing down specific terrible people. I get it. But that's not what Bernie Sanders is about and never has been. That's what everyone else tends to be about. Bernie Sanders is all about presenting his vision for the future and always has been. That's part of his appeal to lots of people. That's just another way Bernie is different than the average politician.
    4
  83. If I ever find myself agreeing with Chris Matthews I rethink things and figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    4
  84.  @christopherlee9026  Yup. And just in case you don't already know about Portugal I suggest you look into what they have done regarding drugs. It helps prove your point for you. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/dec/05/portugals-radical-drugs-policy-is-working-why-hasnt-the-world-copied-it
    4
  85.  @jesusf.2600  Sanders should pick Nina Turner... someone who doing the right thing by supporting him for president and isn't splitting the progressive vote.
    4
  86.  @darkempath7436  Regarding, "fuck other people" and "they think we're fools" You are a fool and fuck you. You are impossible to take seriously. I really hope you are just paid to be an idiot and aren't actually as dense as you seem. Either way you really do suck. Good luck with that.
    4
  87.  @Freakarmy  Regarding, "democracy dollars in his portfolio is Yang. If he passes that, there won't be a need for Super-Pacs. Is that clear to you?" Yangtards are a special breed. Why stop there? May as well claim that democracy dollars are going to get me laid and cure cancer since you are just making shit up.
    4
  88.  @jackripper5240  Regarding, "this is how the country fails" The country fails because it's filled with morons. Regarding, "stay divided" The country is divided. Closing my eyes and wishing for the best isn't an answer. We need people like you to pull your head from you ass. Regarding, "Reality is no one is suitable for that seat." Says a person trying to justify the absolute least qualitied person. You want experience if you go to mcdonalds for fucks sake but are willing to forgo it for literally the most powerful position in the world as if that makes any fucking sense whatsoever. Regarding, "And calling Trump supporters morons will bury you even deeper." They are morons... because reality. As are Hillary supporters. Regarding, "May the Father of Understanding enlighten you." Don't kid yourself... the only difference between what I do and what you do is that I don't try to veil my insults.
    4
  89.  @paulxbsog1972  Regarding, "backpeddling means nothing." What? You just said that jimmy wouldn't cover this in your OP. In reality he already has. You are a liar. I hope it's just stupid but I have to wonder at this point if it's more nefarious and you willfully spreading BS.
    4
  90.  @darkempath7436  Regarding, " that shit is not working" Maybe because those are solutions to problems that currently exist. You make no sense and if all you hear when others speak is blah blah blah that says more about you than it does me.
    4
  91. How can you tell if a guy with no experience in politics is just a snake oil salesman? Oh right... you can't.
    4
  92. Go take your meds.

  93. So why does Trump only care about a wall on the southern border and not about the northern border? Oh yeah... racism.

  94.  dandagod official  Actual cave men are smarter than you and less likely to paint with the huge brush you are using.

  95.  @texjohnson9208  Your question is absurd. As has already been pointed out to you Obama isn't running. As for who America decides to vote for in 2020 for president, I don't know, that is a long way off and it has a lot more to do with who can make the best empty platitudes of "making America great again" which is all you a message of "love, peace, and unity" is. People like me care about policy, priorities, and trust and you should to. You also shouldn't be over romanticizing the Obama presidency because, like I said, if was actually about "love, peace, and unity" the country wouldn't have elected an orange clown after him. That man of "peace" more than doubled the number of wars we were in and failed to get us out of the wars he said he would.
    3
  96.  @texjohnson9208  Regarding, "President Obama's GREAT achievements for the American people speak for themselves" They really don't. He was a warmonger who more than double the number of wars we were in. Who made droning people in foreign lands the new norm. Who set records when it came to deporting people. Whose signature piece of legislation was Republican health care. Who lost over 1000 democratic seats in government during his time. Who sucked so bad the country was willing to give an orange clown the keys to the car after him because he failed to give the people the hope and change that he promised and instead gave them same old same old. The people were left so starved for change they gave a clown the chance because even thou he was a clown he was, at the very least, different. Regarding, "You will quickly find out between Obama and Trump which one is considered "A GREAT. LIAR!"" Obama was a great liar because you bought his bullshit. Trump is a pathological liar but he really isn't good at it or you would believe him as well the same as you did with Obama. Ultimately they are both establishment tools who serve big money and corporate masters.
    3
  97. Regarding, "not addressing the problems at hand." People dying in ice custody is a problem at hand. Obviously.
    3
  98.  @darkempath7436  Regarding, " you keep showering me with all these compliments, stop it" For once you are right. I'm being an idiot for addressing you and feeding the troll. Consider this my farewell.
    3
  99.  @NGHealthCoach  You are clearly a liar and disingenuous. Your original claim was that, "said he did not think a black person could be on his ticket" that is a straight up lie and you know it. Nowhere does he say anything of the sort. Him not making promises about a running mate is totally fucking different. The fact of the matter is, whether or not you want to be intellectually honest about it or not, is that he can't promise anything specific about who his running mate should be because we simply are not at that part of the game and he isn't at a point where he is picking a running mate. I personally think the best choice for his running mate, when the time comes and that is way off in the future, should be Nina Turner. And he has said NOTHING to suggest that she couldn't be on his ticket. You are just a fucking liar and smear merchant. I judge people by the content of their character and you seem to have none.

  100.  MrZapparin  There's no law against that so it's fine. /s
    3
  101. As far as I can tell Warren campaign is designed to cock block Sanders. She is controlled opposition to real change.
    3
  102.  @geddydesmond451  Regarding, "you parrot the msm argument that was used against bernie in 2016" What the actual fuck are you babbling about? I have evidence of cheating against bernie in 2016. I ask again if you have any evidence but I assume that if you say more it will continue to be nonsensical bullshit.

  103. Being able to rig your own election is not the same as rigging a general election. Provide proof or STFU.

  104.  @fishingsouthwestflorida1586  I don't worry about money and I'm not nearly so happy.

  105.  @christopherlee9026  No prob. It's something that I think isn't talked about enough.
    3
  106.  @jackripper5240  Regarding, "coz bernie has experienced?" Um. Yes. Obviously. If you wonder why Yang supporters are tough to take seriously it might be because they have trouble with incredibly simple concepts such as this. Regarding, "do you really think that bernie will push through with his own policies?" Even Bernie knows he can't do it alone. There is a reason he calls for a political revolution. Regarding, "Dont criticize supporters." Then don't be an idiot. Respect is earned, not given. Regarding, "You might end up calling them "deplorables"." Hillary is a cunt but even she gets the occasional thing correct. Trump supporters are morons whose stupidity is currently costing this country dearly.
    3
  107. Because all the true progressives are busy fighting for Bernie like they should be.

  108. Meh, he's not immoral, he's brainwashed by corporate media.

  109. I wouldn't put it past her to put them on and have them conclude that Biden is telling the truth for convoluted terrible reasons.
    3
  110.  @sirfortesque8757  Regarding, "we're looking to build the party right" Speak for yourself. I give two shits about the "party." They are a dumpster fire and are in need of house cleaning. Regarding, "not just circle jerk each other" I find this really funny all things considered. Regarding, "this movement" Movement and party. I want change. Real change. Substantive change. That's what I'm fighting for. Regarding, "draw other in....yes?" Of course I want more people on the right side but eventually we need to able to stop having to debate the merits of M4A. It's a no brainer everyone should be able to agree on. At some point we need to put our foot down and fight for this. And if you aren't with us then you are standing in the way of change and are going to be dealt with accordingly. This IS a litmus test.
    3
  111.  @ish7957  Regarding, "Calm down. You're too emotional like Dimmy Dore." Bite me. We are talking about politics. If you aren't fired up it's only because you don't fully understand the topic of which you speak or you have lost your humanity. Regarding, "The progressives in congress have only been in power for two years." I don't care. Do you have a point. Regarding, "You can't change washington in two years." Why am I even bothering to address you. You offer literally nothing of real value in anything you say.
    3
  112. As soon as you hold a position of power you are no longer an "average" man or woman.
    3
  113. @Kevin Tewey While it's true that Bernie would crush Trump and Biden would lose to him it isn't even nearly as important than the fact that Bernie should be the nominee not because he would win... but because he superior to Biden in every way when it comes to policy.
    3
  114.  @subversivelysurreal3645  And let's not forget Biden's pushup challenge to Trump.

  119.  @texjohnson9208  Oh... and Obama was a great liar because I too bought his bullshit and voted for him. I learned something from it though after all the war and broken promises. I learned to follow the money better and not trust people selling their soul the way he did. You on the other hand still use the word "peace" with him and think he did a good job even though his suck was largely responsible for giving us Trump. How I have no fucking clue. Please wake up.

  123.  @stevekake3359  Nevermind. I found this. "The $600 checks make up about $166 billion of the total $900 billion package" So if anything I think everyone getting 6K might be a small underestimate. Time to start screaming this to everyone so everyone knows.
    2
  124.  @jivet3919  You are going to have to be more specific. Are you referring to yang or their supporter as being new to politics?
    2
  125.  @jackripper5240  Regarding, "bernie's goal is not to engage or receive pac money from corporations. however, he receives money from individual contributors aggregated into PACs." Are you just trying to restate what I said without bothering to address the substance of it? Yang loves PACs. Sanders doesn't. Do you at least acknowledge that difference while you deflect from that fact?
    2
  126.  @jackripper5240  It's very Warrenlike of him. She too thinks that selling out is a "necessary evil" as well and sees nothing wrong with the engaging in the corruption they claim to oppose.

  127. This kid restores some much needed faith in humanity.

  128.  @geddydesmond451  Regarding, "whats with the constant namecalling?" It's relatated to the constant stupid shit you say. Regarding, "Triggered much?" Talking to people who make me feel like I'm living in the movie idiocracy is frustrating. Regarding, "Jordan just explained to you they cheated." In the general? Because that is what you are claiming. Just because I have evidence someone cheats on their wife doesn't mean I can just assume they are also cheating on their taxes. I can think they wouldn't have a problem cheating on their taxes. But I can't just assume they do and act like I have evidence of it. Regarding, "But now you need evidence." I ALWAYS need evidence to hold a belief. Regarding, "Too bad for me I'm having this conversation with someone who calls everyone stupid and/or dipshit." Not everyone. Just because I do it to you don't mean I do it to everyone. It's like you are trying to prove my point about your lack of intelligence. So no evidence huh? I'm remarkably unsurprised by that.
    2
  129.  @geddydesmond451  Long story short you have no evidence of cheating in the general election. Thanks for clearing that up now please shut up and stop making everyone dumber. Thanks for that in advance.

  146.  @TheMisfitPond  All substance? Hardly. The questions were terrible and the candidates aren't allowed to say anything that is too long for a bumper sticker.
    2
  147.  @TheMisfitPond  Regarding, "I don’t like the fact that they frame the questions horribly" Good. You shouldn't. But don't underestimate how important and how bad this is. The corporate media is doing everything they can to use right wing talking points to frame every issue. They also do shit like trying to pit people against one another rather than trying to educate viewers on their positions. Regarding, "give so much time to a bunch of candidates nobody cares about." I'm actually of the principled belief that all candidates should be given similar amounts of time assuming they have earned their right to be at the debate. I'm also for having lots of voices being given the right to talk, especially when we are still this far out. I'm actually pissed that Mike Gravel was not allowed to debate and I'm pissed that 3rd party candidates are not allowed to debate during the general. Or political system is better and better served by allowing more inclusion. Regarding, "But considering the circumstances, Bernie did an excellent job at being substantive and quippy with his answers." Considering the fact that the format is god awful Bernie did fucking great and I'm very, very, very happy about it. It would just be nice if he didn't have to take loaded questions and if he were allowed to speak for longer on incredibly important topics.... and for others as well. Just because he did great doesn't mean the format is better than it is. Regarding, "politics also requires you to fire back in gimmicky ways if you want to reach more people." But it shouldn't be specifically designed to make this more important than the substance. How many times do the moderators cut people off when they have things they want to say? Let them speak for fucks sake. But take that time in account. If someone wants to run over the time let them but then skip the next question that might have gone to them and even out the time in that way.

  156.  @Airith4  Keep hammering them with facts. Important facts about me that make me not like Warren include: she recently voted for an increase to the budget for the department of offense. An increase of about 80 billion per year. That increase alone would have been more than enough to pay bernies free college plan, the one the corporate media claims is "unaffordable." But that was money she felt was fine going towards bombs for trump to use. Also her willingness to take dirty money in general like you have already done (how that doesn't affect people is beyond me). There's also the fact that she didn't run against a corporate shill like Hillary in 2016 (and didn't endorse the true progressive of sanders in the race who only got the mix because warren didn't) but instead wants to run in 2020 against sanders now that he is the clear leader of the progressive movement. I also would point out that she didn't help or support DAPL protestors (sadly lots of people aren't familiar with this but for me this was really, really, really important). I'd also point out that she was a REPUBLICAN in the 90's while Sanders was busy being a progressive his entire life. If none of that sways them kick them out or move. Just kidding. Mostly. :)

  159. Sure. Our entire government is a dumpster fire who isn't interested in doing what's best for the people. But a guy like Bernie puts pressure on them from the time he would take office. He would use the bully pulpit like no other. He would make it perfectly clear who is responsible for making American's lives better and then we can punish them by replacing them. Think about how far the party's rhetoric has changed just since Bernie ran in 2016. Sure lots of it is pandering but it shows just how much he can do to win hearts and minds and change the public perception. Bernie knows he can't do it all by himself. There is a reason he talks about a need for a political revolution.
    2
  160.  @kristonpohlman2685  There have been polls where M4A is favored by a majority of REPUBLICANS. That is what Bernie has been busy accomplishing while only a senator. That said the politicians hardly reflect the will of their peasants but it clearly demonstrates that he is doing something right even if he can't do it all by himself.
    2
  161.  @kristonpohlman2685  It's an absolute no brainer. Again, Bernie can't do it all by himself, but if anyone can get it done it is Bernie. And if he can't during his time as president because of how terrible congress is he still will be able to push the country in that direction and make it that much more possible that the next president can finish this very important goal.

Don't just take their word and do some digging. Let's take her position lately of not taking pac money. I won't even point out that she has rolled pac money left over from her senate run into her campaign president, which she has, let's talk about the fact that that "position lately" only goes as far as the primary. She isn't going to take that money in the primary because she knows it's wrong and immoral. According to Warren, "corruption, the influence of money, touches every decision that gets made in Washington... Whatever issue brought you here today, I guarantee if there’s a decision to be made in Washington, it’s been touched, pushed, massaged, tilted over, just a little, so the folks with money do better than everyone else." That same warren will happily and hypocritically take pac money if she makes the general which means that her positions on anything can't be trusted because she openly admits she will take legalized bribes. Warren reeks of controlled opposition to real change. Her campaign is an effort to kneecap Sanders. She is terrible. https://publicintegrity.org/federal-politics/elizabeth-warren-president-pac-money-treasurer/

  175. Everyone has their bias but the people who are open an honest about facts, like Jordan being honest about being a friend of Jimmy's, means he is far less likely to be letting their bias be the only thing going on. I think Pakman is a joke and his arguments were asinine and I'm not friends with Jimmy as if that has something to do with the arguments being used. Forgive me for not telling you why what Pakman said was dumb because I think Jordan already did a good enough job on that front.

  176. Regarding, "The problem that people have with Jimmy isn't that he is wrong" So you have a problem with someone that, according to you here, isn't wrong. You obviously do think he is wrong as demonstrated by everything else you said. You want your cake and to eat it too. Sorry but I don't have the time or ambition to continue this.

Because if that's the math the government is going by and a 1.9 (rounded to 2 is just fine) trillion dollar stimulus could be used to give everyone checks of 6K then I want to start telling everyone that.

  179.  @zakbrowne8470  Regarding, "as if they don't know their biases." It's obviously not about them but about the viewers. Lots of them do need to hear it. Regarding, "their wallets" What? They have an agenda and it has so much more to do with than just money for a network. Do you think they covered trump's empty podium and while avoiding sanders speaking in front of record crowds was good for ratings for them? They would love for Sanders to do what you propose because it would give them ample opportunity to act like he's "being petty," "being like Trump in attacking the media," and "whining." Now don't get me wrong they already do that shit but that's all the more reason to not give them any more ammo than they deserve. He needs to promise to always speak truth to power and be willing to go as many places as reasonably possible to speak the truth. They would prefer blackout. That was the gameplan in 16. Now they have to listen at least more than they did. He needs to use that microphone and call them out to their faces if necessary while doing it.

  192.  @geddydesmond451  Regarding, "I readily admit its an assumption." LMFAO. You, two seconds ago, "evidence? Pretty sure there is evidence they cheat." Regarding, "I assume because the DNC has been cheating for years that they didnt suddenly stop to make a fair election for Trump." It's pretty stupid to think that rigging your own party election is the same as rigging a general election. It's clearly not and is an apples to oranges comparison that requires EVIDENCE. But don't let that stop you from making that logical leap. And it is a logical leap. Don't pretend otherwise the way you have been all this time until finally being forced to admit you have no evidence. Regarding, "You dont admit shit." I don't have to admit lying about evidence but you do. Regarding, "You just talk shit" I know being pressed for evidence must have been very hard on you. Sorry not sorry I don't give a fuck about what you think and only care about what you can prove and you can't prove jack shit. Regarding, "No thoughtful conversation." I'm not going to lie this is really funny coming from you. Thanks for the laugh.

  193.  @graywalkerjoin3rdparty74  I'm familiar with what you speak but it's still not evidence. I'd happily have it all investigated better than it is now. I do away with "proprietary information" when it comes to elections so that it can all be investigated and all the machines can be opened up. I again wouldn't be surprised if we did find good evidence some day. But as of now we don't.
    1
  194.  @graywalkerjoin3rdparty74  Get the audit. I support it happening. That might lead to evidence. If the general was rigged I want to know. But to make that conclusion I need the evidence first.

  195.  @geddydesmond451  Regarding, "if someone reported uncle handsy Joe just sniffed another little girls hair, would you still run around demanding proof/evidence and calling everyone who didnt agree with you names?" The report of joe sniffing a girls hair is the evidence dipshit. I wouldn't need to have to ask for evidence. I'd already have it. Obviously. I call you names because you are not smart.
    1
  196.  @graywalkerjoin3rdparty74  Regarding, "Evidence is what justifies the Audit." Can you be more specific? I thought the audit was required by law? Or maybe I'm just thinking about the ballots being turned over. Regarding, "one way or the other, is what the Audit hopes to find." I'm not sure about your phrasing but hopefully you agree with what I'm about to say. An audit should only hope to find the truth. It shouldn't hope to find wrongdoing. But if there is wrongdoing it should out it. Regarding, " I agree there is no Proof at this time that has been admitted into court." I think you are a bit wrapped up in semantics. Evidence and proof are synonyms. The only real distinction people tend to make is in that they tend to consider "proof" to mean evidence that is beyond a reasonable doubt or the like. But call it what you want... proof of cheating or evidence of cheating... they mean the same thing to me. Regarding, "We definitely need Election Transparency for future elections so these questions cannot arise." The whole system should be reformed from top to bottom. Sadly I don't think that's about to happen anytime soon.
    1
  197.  @graywalkerjoin3rdparty74  Regarding, "I distinguish between the terms." I concede there is a difference. I told you where I think that difference is. It's very similar to your explanation and I think we are essentially say the same thing but only slightly differently. But ultimately they are synonyms. That treasure in your analogy is also rightfully called evidence. Both the map and the treasure are things you can point at and cite. Neither are just a "gut feeling" or "faith."

  199.  @kylehorvath9295  Regarding, "He is just speculating bud." He is doing more than that. "Speculating" better describes who you think JJ Watt is going to sign with. The OP is, "Well Hope you realize that DNC is very much capable of rigging the Presidential election too." except are they? They offer no evidence and expect us to just take their claim and agree with it. Regarding, "DNC unequivocally rigged the 2016 primary" Yup. Regarding, "there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence they interfered in 2020 as well" The DNC says Pete won the Iowa caucus. That's more than circumstantial evidence. But that's in the primary. Being able to rig a game being played on your home court in your hometown with a referees you are hiring for the game isn't the same as rigging another game. The primary is not the general. It's an apples to oranges comparison. Regarding, "I don't think it's crazy to suspect foul play in the general election too." I don't doubt their is foul play afoot. But ultimately I need evidence and there is none when it comes to the general. Regarding, "I however personally think the DNC didn't interfere in the general" We agree on this. Don't get me wrong I'd quickly changes this opinion if given some good evidence and wouldn't be shocked if some did come out but as of now I don't have it and I'm not going to pretend I do. Regarding, "The DNC and its donor base really don't care if Biden or Trump get elected" Meh. Lots of money spent on the general says otherwise. If it didn't matter I don't think the rich would set their money on fire like that. That said I agree that it doesn't matter much. But it does matter a little. Regarding, "The underlying detail that no one seems to address is that many people (Right and left) have little to no confidence in our electoral system and feel alienated by said system." I agree. Regarding, "Its not blantant fraud (i.e. changing votes)" Are you sure? Exit polls in the 2016 primary indicated widespread election fraud in the "democratic" primary. And now they barely even do exit polls. Regarding, "The average person realizes their voice has little sway on the political system and aren't educated enough in civics, economics, communication, law, or other subjects to properly articulate this feeling of marginalization." Even if they can articulate it and understand it that doesn't do much. The system is rigged top to bottom. Regarding, "At the end of the day are you going to trust a pick pocket with your car?" No. Regarding, "No evidence they're a car thief, just a pick pocketer right." I have contempt and hatred for the DNC. I think they are crooked and corrupt. I think they would happily cheat in the general if they thought they would get away with it. I wouldn't be surprised at all if evidence of cheating was found. But right now I don't have that. So I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

  200.  @kylehorvath9295  Regarding, "beyond the wikileaks stuff" If you don't know about what happened in the Iowa caucus be sure to check it out. It's appalling. If you really want to check it out some of the stories I'd recommend (and I'm not going to put up links because youtube tends to not allow them. you should have all you would need by checking out articles such as...) "Iowa Democrats won’t correct errors on caucus tally sheets, emails show" from the chicago tribune "What a Surprise! DNC’s Shadow App Founder is a Pete Buttigieg Supporter — App Crashed and Now Pete Is Ahead of Bernie – How About That!" by the gateway pundit "Iowa autopsy report: DNC meddling led to caucus debacle" politico Long story short bernie crushed in iowa but the party conspired to give the state to pete. Just recently tom said the quiet part out loud when he just talked about how important he knows momentum is in elections. That's why they didn't let bernie get what was rightfully his.

Regarding, "facebook" I happily don't do facebook. Sorry. Regarding, "Thanks again for a genuine and thoughtful response! Cheers!" You as well. Cheers.

And because they aren't given the proper amounts of time to talk it does just become about shit like "I wrote the damn bill." I love Sanders and loved that he scored this "point." But it shouldn't be about scoring points. It should be about debating ideas and that takes more time than they are given. The format is innately terrible and that's WHY it's that way. They can't let the public actually get informed.

  224.  @TheMisfitPond  Forgive me for nitpicking and don't take this to mean that I don't think we are on the same team but I have no doubt that we are. I do tend to only focus on areas that I disagree. With that in mind... Regarding, " I don’t think they have all necessarily earned their right to be there." As for what "earned" means this is very subjective. I definitely don't think it means, they are a progressive even if I personally am a progressive and want those ideas center stage. It is arguably a good thing that some corporate dems are their to be punching bags and to give viewers some perspective on what the differences are. Regarding, "Most of them are only there because they sold out to corporate america." Yup. Mayor Pete is a great example of this. He's super young with little record and that record isn't good but corporate media loves him and are happy to talk about him. He is a prime example of a manufacturing consent for a candidate. Compare that to Bernie in 2016 when Ed Shultz was told NOT to cover him announcing his running. Regarding, "bernie, Warren and marrianne lol" Bernie is the man and clear choice. Warren has openly admitted that if she makes the general she will happily take legalized bribes. Their is a reason why the corporate media and wall street seem to be warming to her and those reasons are not good for true progressives. Marrianne is a decent person but the first thing she said about universal health care was ATROCIOUS. That and I think that a person should have at least some experience in politics before running for the highest political office in the land. I need a record or I have no good way to know if I'm dealing with (and this is hypothetical and not meant to be a definitive statement) a snake oil saleswomen who is only looking to increase their brand awareness and sell books.

  226.  @slicc9048  I'm not going to lie following up, "that assumption makes more sense" with "I watched to see people make a fool of themselves....Its gratifying."

  227.  @slicc9048  Just to be clear if I went with epstein to his pedophile island it would make more sense that I went there with him for the weather than for the pedophilia. That's your idea of "logic." That's what would make the most sense based on what we know about epstein. LMFAO. I wish I found your foolish more gratifying. It's more just frustrating having to share the planet with people like you.

Don't get me wrong there are plenty of people that are too far gone but I think you are wrong to write this guy off. I think he has just gotten too much of his information from corporate media. That and he is still really young. I understand wanting to just say fuck that guy what a tool but we really need to keep fighting the good fight and keep making our case to the public. The facts are on our side. We need to keep using them.

  233.  @misanthropichumanist7856  "Is everyone who thinks differently paid?" Nope. But the establishment does spend millions of dollars posting idiotic comments such as yours in their effort to "correct the record." "Such a shame that you’re triggered so easily when someone has a different view point." But you aren't being triggered by me by your own definition right? We are both giving our take but only you is being a hypocrite about it. "I decide which content I want and do not want." Thanks captain obvious. You have offered nothing of value yet again to the conversation at hand. "You’re lucky to get this reply," I'm not. You are not as important and intelligent as you think you are.

  236. I love Tulsi but that "ally" is running against him at the moment same as Warren. He could use her endorsement, not her running against him and splitting the progressive vote.

  237.  @d-risky4994  Just stop. Bernie has practically never left campaign mode after 2016. If she wanted to know if Bernie was running all she had to do was give him a call and he would have said yes. You are clearly reverse engineering things to say from a position of great bias. Regarding, "I have no doubt in my mind that when the time comes to drop out she will endorse Bernie" When the fuck do you suppose this will be? Before or after votes have been cast and the damage has been done? Even if she dropped out a week BEFORE anyone votes she will have arguably hurt Bernie's chances because (and it shouldn't be this way but it clearly is) momentum is important in politics. There is reason the corporate media tried to portray hillary as inevitable in 2016 and tries to portray biden as inevitable in 2020. There is reason they like to talk about skewed polls all the time and how biden is leading and shit like that. Their arguments are made better because tulsi is siphoning potential voters away from Bernie with every moment she is running. If tulsi were not in the race right now the vast majority of her supporters would be supporting sanders. They sure as fuck wouldn't be supporting biden. And whether or not you want to be intellectually honest enough to admit it that hurts Bernie, hurts his chances of winning the primary, and makes it more likely biden or another establishment shill wins the primary. Again, I love Tulsi. But she should be supporting sanders and not taking votes away from him in an election that we already know damn straight isn't fair.

  238.  @d-risky4994  Regarding, "so you say Bernie never left campaign mode since 2016" Yup. Because the fact of the matter is that you and everyone had zero reason to think he wouldn't be running in 2020. Regarding, "I can say that since Tulsi and Bernie are friends that she might have more inside access to his campaign plans, indicating to me that he wasn’t sure enough to let his friends know his plan for 2020" Again you are trying to reverse engineer explanations to come to the conclusions you want. Tulsi actions are far better explained in that she knew Sanders was going to run and she just didn't give a fuck. And the exact same things can be said about Warren. Regarding, "there is no indication that she is cannibalizes Bernie votes" You are an idiot trying to make explanations that make no fucking sense. In reality comments such as Bernie/Tulsi 2020 and Tulsi/Bernie 2020 are very common and Tulsi/Biden 2020 is nonexistent. You know damn well they are running the same lane. Everything you say demonstrates you understand this reality. You call them "allies" in your original post. But you don't want to concede the fact that she is taking her voters from Bernie because you would then have to concede the reality that her campaign is hurting Bernie. Regarding, "and *SOME will continue to follow her if she backs out and supports Bernie" The majority of her supporters would back Bernie if dropped out today. That's the reality. Those are the facts. Are you first and foremost a Tulsi supporter? If she dropped out today who would you then be supporting in the "democratic" primary? Please answer those questions and please try to be intellectually honest while answering them. Regarding, "BUT WHY STOP NOW?" It's like I haven't already given you logical arguments as to why she should not being running and should be supporting Sanders. Oh wait... I already have. Do I really need to repeat all the logical reasons she should not be running? Regarding, "Her policies are vastly identical to Bernie’s policies" Yup. They are running the same lane, with the same policies, whose voters come from the exact same pool. Regarding, "she is better at presenting foreign policy blunders" Is she thou? Bernie has been preaching a message of peace for longer than Tulsi has been alive. Bernie voted against the Iraq war. Too bad Tulsi didn't listen to him or she might have avoided going to serve the MIC personally the way she did. Regarding, "can grow that message larger make her campaign LARGER" Her growth comes at Sanders expense. As I've already stated but you want to ignore the vast majority of her voters would be supporting Bernie if not for her. Because duh. Because facts. Because reality. Regarding, "SHE CAN RUN ON BERNIES TICKET." Makes no fucking sense and doesn't make more sense because it's written in all caps. It's not like she needs a campaign to be considered for this. I'm actually far more fond of Bernie picking someone like Nina Turner to be his running mate because she is doing the right thing and supporting Sanders and helping him while Tulsi is hurting him, opposing him, and making it more likely an establishment shill gets the nomination. Would Sanders be better if Nina were running against him? Of course not. Because reality. Because he, and the country, are better with her supporting Sanders and not opposing him. And the same concepts apply for Tulsi. Regarding, "But we need Tulsi to overtake Warren and/or Harris first" You make no motherfucking sense. If tulsi ever gets this big she has even more reason to keep campaigning, keep opposing sanders, and keep siphoning votes away from him in a world where progressives would be wise to coalesce around the clear leader of the progressive movement. Regarding, "WE NEED TO KEEP TULSI IN THE FUCKING RACE SO JUST STOP SHOOTING YOURSELF IN YOUR “INTELLECTUALLY HONEST” FOOT AND GIVE TULSI A SINGLE FUCKING DOLLAR" The irony is something. In reality you are shooting yourself in the foot. You and tulsi are splitting the progressive movement, you are making it more likely an establishment fuck like biden wins, and the sooner tulsi gets out of the way and endorses sanders, like she should have just done from the get go, the better. Every dollar I'm giving in this election cycle is going to Sanders because he is our best hope of getting a progressive in the WH. All progressives, peasants and politicians, would be wise to be working toward that goal while Tulsi is siphoning votes from him. Our best chance is unifying. Because duh. Do the world a favor and realize this sooner rather than later.

  239.  @d-risky4994  Regarding, " you’re feelings are getting in the way of reason" The irony. Regarding, "I very easily donated money to both Sanders and Gabbard" Fine. You know why you pick those 2? Because they are in the same motherfucking lane and you damn well know it. But you want to lie about the fact that they share the same voter pool because of what that reality means. Regarding, "Because as you’ve said they are in the same lane, on the same ideological team." Cool. Obviously. No shit. But in reality only one of them can win the primary. I can only vote for one of them. I need to pick a side. I don't get to have my cake and eat it to. Your original post you call them allies. But they are not even if they are in the same lane. The primary is a war where only one gets to win. They are on OPPOSITE SIDES trying to win over voters from the same lane. You know who really is an ally of Bernie? Nina Turner. Because that's the reality that you want to ignore. Regarding, "Show the country that those who follow the true progressive path are rewarded with support so it pushes out charlatans like Warren and Harris." You want to know one of the ways I determine if people like Warren and Harris are charlatans? I ask myself if I think that what they are doing is in progressives interest. Well Gabbard isn't working in progressives interest anymore than Warren and Harris are when it comes to opposing Sanders. ALL OF THEM ARE OPPOSING HIM. I've picked my team. I'm on team Bernie Sanders. And as much as I love Tulsi she is taking a knife and plunging it in his back at the moment. You never answer any of my questions. I don't just ask them rhetorically ya know. There are points embedded in them. Regarding, "Because while you keep saying that Tulsi voters are stealing from Bernie, I’m saying that donating $1 isn’t voting" The principles are IDENTICAL. Both are ways of showing support. Tulsi isn't getting a dime from me. I was on her mailing list. I sent her an email about 2 weeks before she announced her running and begged her not to run. I begged her not split progressive support. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I thought she was going to read it much less have it affect her, but I have understood the pitfalls of splitting the progressive vote going in. I wasn't just going to act like I didn't think she was fucking over Bernie while she was fucking him over because I want to like her. SHE'S FUCKING UP. Why the fuck would I want to support that? How the fuck do you think that makes any motherfucking sense? Regarding, "I’m saying that two ideological allies working to steal voters from Biden, Warren, & Harris" YOU ARE AN IDIOT. How the fuck did you end up on the smart team? It's like you have no fucking clue how elections work and how votes are distributed. I don't know how to make my points anymore clear so that you might understand them. Regarding, "then joining forces to win the nomination" What the fuck are you talking about? Candidates don't get to share delegates. Regarding, "Bernie’s biggest weakness is that he believes the other people on that stage are his friends" I am dumbfounded by how idiotic I find the things you say. The guy who calls for a "political revolution," the guy who was fucked over in the primary in 2016, the guy who goes out of his way to call himself an independent, the guy who has been smeared constantly since the beginning of time, the guy who is constantly bombard by "gotcha" questions believes the other people on that stage are his friends? What the fuck are you smoking? As always you have conclusions that you want to get to and just trying say anything to justify getting there. In reality the shit you say makes no motherfucking sense and it is beyond infuriating. I mean, I'm used to this type of stupid shit coming from trump supporters and Hillary/biden fans but coming from an "ally" this type of stupidity makes me want to shake a baby. Regarding, "he doesn’t smear or attack, even when it is justified... he plays on the defensive all the time" You almost said something that wasn't completely moronic and then you went and fucked it up. Yes smearing and attacking isn't his thing. But it's not about being "defensive." It's about presenting his vision for the future. And you know what? It works. He doesn't need to tear people down because what people crave, even if they don't realize it, is a vision for the future, a plan for things to come, and substantive ways he might make their lives better. If you want a cunt whose who plan is smearing, tearing down others, and attacking constantly you may as well go support Trump because that's all he does. Sanders on the other hand would rather tell you how he is going to improve your life rather tell you why the other person sucks. It's just another way he is different than the average politician and just another reason why he is the fucking man. Regarding, "There is no way he calls out Warren for her hawkishness." Thank god we had Tulsi on the debate stage with warren so that she could take him down a peg. Oh wait... Warren had a great night overall while Tulsi shit the bed until she had a moment taking down a clown whose name I don't even remember at the moment. Even Warren raised her hand to give the private health insurance industry the finger while tulsi disappointed me so much I wanted to break my tv. Regarding, "You’re not being intellectually honest by questioning Tulsi’s superiority on foreign policy," Really? Because I gave a couple pretty good reasons why I question her superiority on the matter. First she enabled the MIC personally through her service and secondly her experience preaching a message of peace is nothing compared to Bernie who has been advocating for peace his whole life. The best argument that can be made for her "superiority" is that foreign policy is the only topic she really wants to talk about. Shit even when asked about the gender pay gap she thought giving her military resume would be a good idea when Bernie would have actually answered the question given to him. Regarding, "Bernie paints his foreign policy in broad strokes, she actually fleshes out who, how, and why." American's don't give a fuck about the details. They want a president who brings the troops home and spends the country wealth on them rather than in foreign lands. They don't give a fuck about the nuances between sunni and shia. Please answer some questions for me. If Joe Biden ran in 2016 would that have been a game changer to the election to the detriment of Hillary? Assuming you realize this would have been a detriment to Hillary, how is this situation significantly different than what Tulsi is doing to Bernie? Would Bernie Sanders be better off if Nina Turner would be running against him instead of being busy fighting in his corner? How is this situation different than Tulsi? Do you understand that progressives are a finite number of voters? And they only get one vote to cast? Would Bernie Sanders be better off if Warren were not running? Especially when lots of her supporters consider themselves to be progressives? How is this significantly different than what Tulsi is doing? Do you understand that candidates cannot give their pledged delegates to one another? That the ability of any individual progressive candidate's chances are diminished when they have to share their voter pool? As I write these I can already imagine the contrived, terrible answers that you are going to give as you do anything and everything to desperately concoct answers that suit the conclusions you want to come to. I'm not proofreading any of that. I've already wasted far too much time on you already.
