If they coordinate who runs like this, then what we need is for both Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard to drop out of the primaries at some point before the voting starts. We can't risk the progressive vote getting split.

@Damian Cairns Oh wow, I can't believe people are trying to make the "Bernie's too old" argument on this channel. Wtf. You know you can support Gabbard without using establishment talking points to do so.

@alvinsoehendrywijaya The people should choose for the best candidate up until the heavy voting starts, otherwise any progressive front-runner (almost guaranteed to be Bernie) will have a handicap if the establishment candidates do the same thing for someone like Biden or Harris, but the progressive candidates don't back out. It will already be hard enough with fake progressives (and fake liberals) like Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Kirsten Gillibrand all pretending like they want Medicare for All.

@r .ra Stop using establishment talking points. "Bernie is tired". BERNIE just got hundreds of thousands of workers a higher wage who were working slave wages, Bernie just got unions for numerous companies including Disney and Jet Blue, Bernie just crammed through a bill in the Senate to stop selling arms to Yemen. This was ALL done within the last few months alone. Wtf has Gabbard done recently exactly? Like action, not just talk and announcing her 2020 campaign, which is arguably just self-serving so I wouldn't even count that. The last thing I literally saw her do was 2 years ago when she proposed paper ballots, which went absolutely nowhere after she gave a short speech on it on the House floor. What exactly does she do besides voting the correct way? Bernie is a tried and tested leader and none of this shit would be even happening without him. This conversation literally doesn't even matter though because Tulsi won't even get close to winning the primary, she just won't. It's realistically gonna be Bernie or Bust 2020, anything else is just a fucking pipedream. Sorry, but that's just reality dude.

@r .ra If you seriously believe the mainstream media is on Bernie's side, you need to have your head examined.

@Damian Cairns Doesn't change the fact that it's the number 1 favorite talking point of the establishment to underhandedly discredit Bernie as a viable candidate. And now so-called "progressives" like you are breathing life into it.

@Damian Cairns Comparing Bernie to Trump just doesn't work dude, I can't believe you're trying to make that argument. The only thing needed to say to disprove this line of thinking is by pointing out the fact that FDR, one of the greatest presidents we ever had, was always on deaths door for the majority of his time in office and was always in poor health the entire time. He died in office because of it, but does that mean that his last term or two in office was somehow worse off for it? The answer is "No", it wasn't.

@Damian Cairns Yes, and I'm merely pointing out that FDR was neither too old or too sick to be one of the greatest presidents in United States history.

@Damian Cairns You're talking about a time when the average life expectancy from birth was 58 years old for men, and I'm not even talking about his age. He had polio since 1921 and was disabled from the waste down due to the paralytic illness. In case you don't understand, polio was like cancer back in the early 1900s. It killed hundreds of thousands of people that contracted it. You seem to be having trouble understanding this concept.

@Damian Cairns What you're doing right here with your bullshit "too old" argument is exactly how FDR's opponents smeared and attacked him back in the 1930s and 40s by reporting on how he was "too sick" to be president. He had been elected to 4 terms and his opponents were desperate to get him out of office, even setting term limits afterwards so a second FDR would never be able to serve as many terms again.

@Damian Cairns No your counter-point was that "FDR was still young". My response to that is that NO He Wasn't, you're not adjusting for the inflation in life-expectancy along with the fact that my original point was NOT about age, it was about the individual's health, and FDR was constantly on the verge of death due to his illness.
1
@Damian Cairns YES what the fuck is so hard to understand about that! That's my whole point dude, BOTH are true! FDR was on the verge of death throughout his presidency BUT he was never "too sick" or "too old" to not be an amazing politician and president. Wtf are you not getting about this?

@Damian Cairns Being a great president and being old/unhealthy are not mutually exclusive from one another. You can simultaneously be both at the same time. This is an incredibly slow conversation.
