    It’s astonishing to me how there’s still a solid group of people on the left that are screaming for candidates to be more like a guy who didn’t win the primary first time around & isn’t polling as high as you’d expect the second time around. Warren votes in line with Trump at the lowest percentage in congress. She has one of the most progressive records, right there with Sanders. Berniebros trashing her is just baffling.

    She's not a dedicated socialist, that's why. She's basically Hillary Clinton 2.0.

    What's really baffling is how someone like you can overlook her lying about her ethnicity.

    Hillary Clinton 2.0? That's handsdown the dumbest s--- I've ever read on this site.

    I'm with @Enigma on this. It's not exactly logical thinking on behalf of the Bernie Bros. And Bernie is my guy.

    Either way I stand by my sentiments that if it's not a combo of Bernie, Sanders or Yang the Dems will lose.

    In other news, Gabbard is such a fraud lol



    Her inability to stand up to strongmen is so blatant.

    For most of her career she was just a standard tough-on-crime neoliberal Democrat - like Hillary Clinton. Only in recent years has she (superficially) tried to rebrand herself as a progressive, but rambling about racial inequality, championing literal open borders, calling for internet censorship and lying about being Cherokee isn't the way to win over the Bernie Bros, who by and large aren't interested in identity politics. They're dedicated economic socialists, not cultural Marxists or neoliberals.

    Critiquing and pointing out flaws isn’t the same thing as trashing, @Enigma. Grow up. This is a f---ing primary. We are supposed to pick the best candidate, point out flaws of all candidates and compare records. Your mealy mouthed reasoning and defending of Warren and Kamala over Sanders and your constant out of touch commentary but think you’re nailing it is old and stale. You sound like Neera Tanden and Debra Messing or an MSNBC pundit. You’re not in line with the working class. If you were you’d be backing Bernie and defending him against these dumb a--- smears. You defend the status quo and are okay with minor tweaks around the edges of the system and you don’t even realize it.

    Bernie lost in 2016 because of Hillary’s massive name recognition and DNC fuckery...they rigged it...it has been proven. How many times do we have to go over this?

    Warren’s plan would be to only pay Juniors and a senior athletes or some half measure s---

    Lol, I like Warren but she obviously has more flaws than Bernie and isn’t totally reliable to fight like h--- for the people like Mr. Sanders does

    She’s the second best candidate. But I noticed the die hard Liz folks are white latte liberal types.

    Latte liberal:
    “An financially comfortable person who claims to support liberal causes, then acts completely different.“

    Upper income folks who are snobby and are sitting comfortably no matter who is in office. My wife and I do alright together and are providing our toddler twins with a good upbringing. We make it work but still deal with nagging medical bills, taxes, ridiculous premiums and other bills. We are definitely in the working class. These latte liberals don’t think about any of that. We know the system needs totally revamped. Bernie is our best bet to do what’s necessary.

    Word bro they're giving jew haters a bad name. I mean why do they think jews are trying to dilute the white race or whatever? why can't they just not like jews like normal people instead of making it about some r-----ed white race destruction conspiracy

    Ooh, edgy! Because it's more sensible to hate Jews for their politics than for their Jewishness, dipshit.

    Not Bernie. Well, he’s a puppet for working class people. But that’s the point of being a politician, yes? To serve the people and provide them with clean air, water, healthcare, education and quality of life...

    Bernie broke his own donation record. He has reached 1 million donors. He reached this feat before back in January 2016. The media will try to say Bernie has lost support and has no people power and energy behind him like Elizabeth Warren. Fact is, Bernie has way more grassroots support than Liz.
