  1. Maybe just tattoo I'm an idiot on your forehead instead.

  2.  @missinglew  Regarding, "I'm sure she will at the exact Right time" Are you anticipating a better opportunity than the one that just passed where AOC had real power and leverage? Regarding, "She has earned it." She just voted for pelosi, betrayed you, and sold you out for NOTHING.

  3. @Jack R Regarding, "Democracy is for general elections." Is it? I thought we had the EC instead. Regarding, "This is a primary run by a private organization." A private organization that calls themselves the "democratic" party. They could use democracy. Instead they use superdelegates. You are talking about what is while I'm talking about what should be.

  4.  @Michael_Paul585  Nope. If I were I'd vote for him. Are you materially ok with a candidate with dementia, who is a corporate tool, is racist, and is credibly accused of rape?

  5.  @theonetruelenny9883 So nothing of substance to refute the points I made? Just another biden cultist being toxic because I'm calling out their clown? Keep it up. It's like you are trying to lose.

  6. What a remarkably uncompelling "argument."

  7. Bryan regarding, "the nomination" Ultimately primary voters are going to have a say in the matter. Regarding, "the super delegates will steal it from him" The establishment is corrupt but they are not stupid. If they use superdelegates to usurp the will of the voters (like they have never done) they will ensure the downfall of the party. That isn't the purpose of superdelegates. They are there to shape the narrative of the election. They were there so that the corrupt corporate media could put up all the delegates up on the same graphics when Sanders is up pledged delegates to make it look like Hillary is crushing him and inevitable. Regarding, "I don’t see how it’s changed" Sanders was down 60 points when he entered in 2016. Now he has the name recognition of a rock star and is rightfully the most popular politician in the country. These are very important facts in a world with the corporate media is reluctant to give any one who isn't establishment the time of day but Sanders current popularity makes him impossible to ignore. Regarding, "Tom Perez..." The DNC is a dumpster fire and is going to continue to be until a progressive takes over the party. Sanders is in an ideal position to do so.

  8. I guess I'll take your word for it. I'm happily done with corporate media. There are much better ways to be informed that don't come with heavy doses of propaganda while "sometimes" being honest.

  9. So now, in the face of overwhelming evidence, she comes out and says it was rigged when she should have been able to say that long ago. I'm not impressed. I think she is only progressive when it is politically convenient. She is not a leader. I do not trust her and I will not support her. Being better than a bunch of shitbags just isn't good enough for me. That said I'm glad she did admit the obvious.

  10. I am ashamed and embarrassed to have been a fan of hers back in the day.

  11.  @sirens4562  Regarding, "Why am I even wasting my time responding to these crappy bots and people anyways" I make the same mistake. I have trouble letting stupid shit go unanswered.

  12.  @bryanjs4785  Regarding, "the whole Russia-gate conspiracy" This has nothing to do with the original comment or yours. That conversation was about the last election and you are talking about the aftermath of the election. Also I'm pretty sure that fox can be said have done something very similar to this with bullshit about millions of illegals and dead people voting for hillary.

  13. Mark regarding, "certain defeat" I'm going to let you address your own point... "would rather lose to Republicans than see that happen." They don't care about winning. They care about maintaining the status quo and keeping the money flowing. They do not fear 3rd parties. They know they have the entire system rigged top to bottom just like the party is rigged internally. Regarding, " Dems will not allow a progressive to win" Fortunately for us it isn't only up the the establishment and primary voters have a say in the matter and there is no reason to think he won't clean house there in 2020. That is the key to getting a party worth a damn... win the nomination.

  14.  Rob Genson  We shouldn't need to explain things that are common sense. And if you don't already understand how she is raising money by fear mongering about trump I suspect you never will.

  15. Regarding, "nothing to do with primaries" You can't actually believe the bullshit you are saying here do you? I mean, it's not like that money may have been used in the primaries right? And this is hardly the only reason why the primary was rigged. And no I'm not going to tell you why. If you don't already know then you are too far gone. Also, I hate you.

  16. Jesus fucking Christ with you stupid ass talking points. I fucking hate you. Take your bullshit elsewhere. You make everyone dumber when you say stupid things like that.

  17. The fact that you think you have a good point is only proving that you are dumb as fuck. I hate you.

  18. Regarding, "If he runs as a democrat in 2020, wins the nomination, he will have my vote." I suspect he will and I suspect he will win but not because we will have free and fair elections but because he will be able to overcome a rigged process and tipped scales.

  19. chris regarding, "My wife keeps telling me hate is a strong word and it's not very nice." Your wife is right. It is a strong word, I do not use it often, I am not trying to be nice, but I think it is appropriate here. I can't respect and tolerate people perpetuating the myth that it was fair.
    5
  20. Regarding, "there can never be unity without trust" Agreed. I am not interested in unity anymore than they are but at least I'm honest about it. I'm interested in taking over the party and kicking the corporate dems out on their ass. Then they can go join the Republican party for all I care. It is where they belong.

  21.  @journeyon1983  and D Wonders. We should be focusing on the top of the ticket to make Sanders the nominee which is exactly what neither Gabbard nor Warren are doing at the moment. They are both doing the opposite, putting themselves ahead of the good of the country, and actively working to make it less likely Sanders wins the nomination. Which is why, if I were going to talk about the bottom of the ticket (even thou, according to me this is a bad idea, but hypothetically speaking), Nina Turner, a person not opposing him would be a far superior choice to either Gabbard or Warren as of right now. But again, and please take this to heart... focus on making Sanders the nominee and forget about who should be his running mate. He can be trusted to pick someone good and he will... assuming we can overcome the rigged "democratic" primary and avoid splitting the progressive vote to the benefit of the establishment.

  22. I agree with this but think it should be expanded to include all public servants like police officers. They work for us. Or at least they should be.

  23. Of course he did. This is the same election where he was getting away with lies that helped cause him to drop out in 1988. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKCJ45QMyLU

  24.  @fwdcnorac8574  I avoid them like plague personally. I don't get why your response is here. It's not like I'm telling people to watch them.

  27. I will never forgive her for role in rigging the primary even if I am happy she is coming out with the information she has as of late.

  28. Aaaand it's gone. Or was this sarcasm?

  29. Rachel Maddow happily lied about Sanders, his supporters, and his campaign during the election. She does the establishment bidding. She is a sell out and I have no interest in listening to her.
    5
  30. What do I know. I'm part of the problem. I voted for Jill Stein during the election and Maddow rightfully blames me for Trump. Not Trump supporters. Not the DNC for rigging the primary. Not Hillary Clinton for sucking. Not the millions who didn't vote. It was my fault. I'm stupid so please forgive me.

  31.  @lynnrussell467  And I'm of the opinion that corporate dems have no place in the party. That's why they will never get my vote, including biden.

  32.  @chokinonashes61  I'm not saying I'd want to talk to her or that she is a good person but she is objectively hot as hell.

  33. Yup. I just wrote the same thing essentially but you beat me to it.

  34.  @SaulKopfenjager  Bernie said no to the Iraq war while Tulsi said get me a uniform. Bernie is the most overtly anti-war candidate because reality.

  36.  @JulieAnn02261990  Not an important one to a layman.

  37. Regarding, "U can only vote for one person" Not exactly. I could for example vote in the democratic primary for the most progressive person I can find to help shape the party and make them better and I could vote for someone else in the general if I want. Regarding, "you need to concentrate your energy on one." You care too much about parties. Vote for good people. People who share your values and concerns regardless of the party they are in or you are doing the exact same thing as republicans and democrats who blindly support their party.

  38. "new dirty tricks"? I assure you they were already doing everything they could in 2016 and still almost lost to a guy who was down 60 points when he started. And yes they will dump lots and lots of cash into the election but fortunately for us cash doesn't vote.
    4
  39.  @batboy3746  Regarding, "Do you really think this bashing on Biden will help Bernie?" Um... yes. First off when biden loses support that support needs a place to go. And lots of bidens support comes from people that piss themselves over trump, only care about beating him, and buy the corporate media bullshit that he is the best hope to beat trump. If they lose faith in biden sanders is a likely place for their support to go based on those priorities. Second, biden bashing is done about substantive issues. Issues where biden is wrong and Bernie is correct. And people love comparisons. Sometimes it's almost as if they are incapable of having independent ideas about things and are only able to think about things by comparison.

  40. Not even close.

  41.  @blazebaby89  The DNC told us Buttigieg "won" Iowa. Is questioning the results really so delusional? When exit polls don't match election results?

  42.  @tciesla  Regarding, "I never said I would vote for Biden!?" Well if you wouldn't vote for him and you don't want trump to be president then you probably should want bidens balls in a vice. Because logic.

  43.  @lucienberl  Your English needs work comrade.

  44. You probably want to add a period while telling others they are uneducated and dumb.

  45. That's funny coming from someone offering only poor insults and no substance. Do you ever say anything that isn't unintentionally ironic?

  46.  @darrenbutler9819  Regarding, "corporate media and MOC would say MM4A doesn't work and it would be a loss." If I waited for corporate media and the MIC to play nice I'd never get the chance to fight for nice things. But since we are bringing up the corporate media one of their favorite talking points is m4a is "pie in the sky" "unattainable" "fantasy." Well it would be a lot harder for them to continue with that BS if m4a was something people in our government were actually voting on. It you seriously want m4a you want this fight. You know you have the best of it. If you are just pretending that you support m4a you make excuse for not fighting. But they are all pathetic and terrible and wreck of being reverse engineered to come to the conclusion they want of not fighting for m4a. Stop it.

  47. It's hard to believe next time won't be different. When he entered the race in 2016 he was unknown and down 60 points. Still he only lost because of shenanigans. In 2020 he will have the name recognition of rock star, will rightfully be the most popular politician in the country, and will be the clear favorite. There are not enough dirty tricks in their playbook to stop him.

  48. stephen regarding, "The voting machines..." I honestly don't trust the voting machines but that doesn't mean I'm not going to vote and give up without a fight. Sanders is going to be such a clear favorite in 2020 that if the voting machines say he loses the country will be forced to take notice.

  49. She talks the talk but she doesn't walk the walk. Fraud squad. Never forget.

  50. Regarding, "You are assuming the Democrats are acting in good faith." Nobody is assuming they are acting in good faith. We know they are not. Regarding, "The truth is that no single candidate at any national level has been elected to office thru Our Revolution or Justice Democrats and they won’t." Wow are you quick to throw in the towel. Both of those organizations are exceptionally new. Regarding, "None of that will change by giving the process a “chance.”" You must realize the game, although still completely unfair, has changed. Wikileaks has exposed them so they can not be quite as blatant about their corruption going forward. Sanders entered the race as a virtual unknown last time. This time he will be the most popular politician in the country with the name recognition of a rock star. Of course they will try to fuck him over again but the bottom line is that they won't be able to in 2020. And if we don't get Sanders or another progressive then that doesn't prevent us from going and supporting another candidate. I am going to give it a "chance." That seems more logical than just quitting without trying. Regarding, "support a people’s party" Why can't you do this and support progressives who are still trying to work in the "democratic" party? Does it really need to be one or the other? Can't we do both?
