CNN has been wrong about literally everything for the last 4 years. Why do you think this is different? I disagree with him, but believe Bernie has actual support, and a message that resonates with most on the left. I don't think that's true of any other candidate. IMO they are attempting to torpedo his campaign because they are funded by big pharma and the military industrial complex and don't know if Bernie will keep that status quo.

That clip is literally just them playing clips of Bernie Sanders talking. And its all things people on the right have been talking about for years now, there really isn't much to be wrong in that clip.

I agree that they're trying to torpedo his campaign.
 
I forgot who it was, but didnt someone on here say the Kurds were his #1 voting issue? Having heard much of anything about the Kurds on here for quite sometime.

Kind of like the tax armageddon or net neutrality, it seemed like it was the most important thing in the world for so many, but gets forgotten about so quickly.
 
You can argue that politics effects almost everything else in society. "political" as it applies here is the red team vs blue team back and forth that often becomes rancorous and polarizing, we keep that segregated from the rest of the board but if you want to discuss economics on the political thread feel free to do so.
I'd rather teach my dogs calculus.

I wasn't disagreeing with content of the clip , but the intent behind the smear. You said they realize he had no chance to beat Trump, and want to save the democrats from further embarrassment or something? I think it's almost the opposite. He's the only Democrat with an actual following, people are voting for him with the news handicap. They stole the nomination from him last time and lost. The full on smear campaign just doesn't make sense.

I think its a mix of what you said and them knowing he has zero chance to win in a general election. Going around saying you're going to eliminate all fracking jobs and all private healthcare jobs is not smart at all when it comes to these middle states. Then you throw in what he is saying about Fidel, he is throwing away any chance at Florida.

I agree that Bernie has a very dedicated base, I dont think there is any denying that. The issue with his policies is they dont translate to moderate people (non republicans but who dont want to see socialism) and they dont translate to the general election in major swing states.

No, it’s not like that at all.

It’d be like saying the confederacy was good because of the low black unemployment rates.

I will entertain an argument that statues should not be destroyed, and history erased just because it offends people. I will not entertain an argument that a communist dictatorship is good because it said it had a reading program.
 

Haha the most progressive YouTube channel there is that always pushes for things like unionization, all of a sudden is against unions when its for their own personal business.

This is like Bernie always saying "millionaires and billionaires are bad", then Bernie got bought out and became a millionaire, now when Bernie talks its only "billionaires are bad".

Its always great to see the hypocrisy slap them in their face.
 
Umm what? He has 38,808 votes with 96% reporting. And y'all wonder why nobody takes boomers seriously anymore.

I sincerely hope he wins the nomination. Please agree to still post after the general election and I'll do the same. You can gloat all 4 years and I'll take it, but I want you to do the same after trump wins in a historic landslide...

38,808 votes. Wow. That will show them. 38,808 votes in a statewide election. I am really impressed. What a turnout. 38,808. The population of Nevada is 3.03 million not including illegals which is a special voting block on its own.

If I could I would vote for Bernie but my state won't let me. Life is not fair.

You were technically correct. 3444 votes were from U.S. citizens. Others were citizens just not from this country. That is "Bernie's" voting block..

I voluntarily went without it when I was younger, for the same reason.

No way 30 million are involuntarily uncovered. Fairly certain he's intentionally misleading by leaving out anyone on Medicare/medicaid
How dam hard is it to look up:

"During 2019, the U.S. population overall was approximately 330 million, with 59 million people 65 years of age and over covered by the federal Medicare program. The 273 million non-institutionalized persons under age 65 either obtained their coverage from employer-based (159 million) or non-employer based (84 million) sources, or were uninsured (30 million)."

He said “involuntarily” uninsured. Maybe some of those people are healthy and don’t want to buy Obama’s expensive insurance.
 
Also the democrats are shooting themselves in the foot. The moderate non socialist part of the party is still a huge majority, but it's being broken up between 3 or 4 candidates.
Not at all. Nothing Moderate about Biden/But-edge/ Bloomy. The whole idea of Dem & moderate is a fantasy. Look how they all voted against Trump on impeachment.

That 30 million is total uninsured. He is talking about how many of those 30 million were involuntary uninsured. I know many people that arent insured by choice. Im not insured because I felt like Im in my 20s and ive been healthy, so Id rather put that 550 bucks a month (cheapest option for me) into my startup than to health insurance Im not going to use. I actually know a good amount of people that aren't insured because they choose not to be (many of them can get much cheaper options than myself).
