    Agreed. Another four for Trump?
     
  2. Bernie is an Independent, because he sees the need for a third party. But as far as progressives go, Bernie is one of the most progressive. He's not a Democrat in name only, and the fact that he keeps running as a Democrat should tell you something. He has gotten plenty accomplished. For one thing, how many states have raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour now? Who got the ball rolling on that?

    Who got the ball rolling on all of this progressivism? I'll tell you who: Bernie Sanders. And he's done plenty. Your idea that he has little to show for his years in congress is just your biased opinion. I doubt he would say he has little to show for it, and I doubt his fellow members of congress feel that way either. He's yugely influential.

    Bernie's not in trouble with the ladies. That's just the spin the major networks try to put on it, just like they like to put this spin that he has some problem with African Americans. They just want to bring him down, because he is so progressive and anti-Wall Street. All they want is to make their contributors and owners happy. Last time they ignored him. To begin with they were trying to tear him down, but now that Joe is going to run, they probably hope they can just scapegoat and ignore him like last time.

    Who knows if it will work, but he's literally the only one who can beat Trump. Unless the establishment Democrats don't mean it when they say "vote blue no matter who." With Bernie as the frontrunner, because he actually can defeat Trump, it doesn't work to pressure others with the "four more years of Trump?" threat anymore. If you won't support a candidate who can defeat him, for no apparent reason whatsoever, whose fault is it if Trump wins? It's yours.

    Democrats should be jumping for joy that they have a candidate as fucking AMAZING as Bernie Sanders. And the funny thing is, all they can do is ignore him, because they can't dig up any dirt of real consequence on him, and besides that, he is staunchly FOR all the things they claim they support. This lack of enthusiasm among die-hard Democrats makes no sense whatsoever. They should be thrilled.

    And I agree, Biden's "way with women" leaves much to be desired. He's constantly groping and getting way too close for comfort. What's up with that? Admittedly he's no worse about it than Trump is, but that's not saying much. Obviously no one ever taught him about personal space. He's like that with men, too. He just gets much too close. It is intensely creepy. I would be creeped out if he came up and put his hand on my shoulder and started whispering into my ear, too. Almost anybody would.

    Doesn't stand a chance. Too progressive. Too "Socialist"? Wrong demographic. Never make it through the Electoral College!

    Clickbait Outrage.

    I'm for Beto. Sanders is probably too left of center, American's do not have the attention span to have the difference between democratic socialism and the USSR explained to them. We are not a bright peoples.

    Biden's vanilla enough to have lost to Dukakis and Mondale. He's older than Trump, and always ends up saying really dumb things.

    But I will happily vote, donate, and knock on doors for anyone running against Trump.

    Oh come on. Really? We have a president who has been accused of raping at least two women, one his own wife, the other an underage child. He's bragged of grabbing women by the pussy, he screws other women while his wife is pregnant, pays off porn stars, insults women, wants his female political rival put in prison, has been accused of sexual misconduct by I forget how many other women, humps the flag, makes fun of invalids and war heroes, lies on a daily bases, gives away state secrets...on and on.....and you people can't handle Bidden smelling a women's hair??
    Where's the outrage at Trump?????

    I think we need to take our outrage in other directions....
    What does Mika Brzezinski think?

  6. He doesn't even refer to himself as a socialist. And he was beating Trump in the polls last time before the DNC decided to hand it all to Hillary. He actually can win, easily, with the support he already has (plus the support of everyone who lies and says "blue no matter who.") All it would take is for the establishment to lend him their support, and he would be a shoo-in. And the only reason they don't is, yes, because he's progressive. Which should tell you something about those people. A good Democrat SHOULD be exactly as progressive as Bernie is. But if they want to try and shove Biden down our throats, more power to them. He'll lose. We'll have four more years of Trump.

    Just seems silly, because it would be so easy for Bernie to win. He's everything everyone says they want. They can't dig up any dirt on him. But just...no...because...well...who fucking knows.

    Beto...he stands less of a chance against Trump than Biden. And since when was a Democrat too far left of center? You don't see Republicans going middle of the road. They just go further right. And "center" edges ever further to the right as well. Until you're basically just voting for Republicans (like Beto) against other Republicans.

    But I guess America is all about pandering to idiocy. And treating people like they're stupid with short attention spans to assure that the vicious cycle of stupidity continues and things become progressively more idiotic all the time.

    Honestly, Bernie's being anti-establishment works for him, though, not against him. He can even sway a lot of young people who voted for Trump last time, when their only other option was Hillary Clinton. I can only hope that Trump has helped to cause the major networks to lose their appeal to the masses. Because, if Biden runs, it's going to be an ass kissing fest from day one.
     
  7. There is plenty of outrage at Trump, but that doesn't make Biden's behavior appropriate. The way he acts is wildly inappropriate. Maybe it's innocent and harmless, I don't know, but an old man should know better than to put his hands on women and start smelling their hair. It's not like it's something he did one time. He's done it multiple times to multiple women. I don't see how you can deny that it's creepy, or at least doesn't work in his favor. I've seen numerous images of his "victims" cringing as he leans in close to them with his hands on them and kisses them or smells their hair or whispers something in their ear. It's not something that would stop me from voting for him, but I can understand if it causes others to second guess their vote.

    What's going to stop me from voting for him is how hand-selected he appears to be by the DNC. If they're rigging the whole thing in his favor. Then I won't vote for him. All things being fair, I think Bernie will win anyway, because he has the support, honestly.

    You people better get use to every candidate being attacked in all kinds of ways from now on.
    Every Democrat will be attacked for being traitors, socialist, communist, lefty lunatics, naive, sexual predators (Remember Hillary ran a pedophile ring!), wimps, snowflakes, creepy, anti Constitution, anti gun, anti God, on and on.

    The Russians arn't idle, the alt right isn't idle.
    Grow up.

    Bernie Sanders also stands for labor. Sanders frequently pickets with workers on strike. He's staunchly pro union.

    As far as not accomplishing anything, you read those hit pieces too? They arent true. Here ya go

    Legislative Landmarks

    I find your position very fatalistic. Polling shows ALL Democratic candidates with the exception of Beto O'Rourke as winning in a general against Trump.

    Granted: polling measures the popular vote. But if Trump loses the popular vote but wins the electoral college again then that's a problem with the system, not with any individual candidate. And our only hope of fixing it is electing candidates who will aggressively go after the gerrymandering that has enabled unpopular republicans to win elections.

    You can be outraged at Trump and still find Biden creepy.

    I would still vote for him in the general. You're right, sniffing a woman's hair stops at being creepy, it doesnt go beyond. It isnt violent, it isn't nearly as bad as the things Trump has been accused of and admitted to.

    But I think it's fair to have high standards during the primary season. We have a large pool to choose from, why wouldnt you critique each candidate in order to decide which one best represents you? Thats the purpose of the primaries.

    As a young(ish) woman, I am not inclined to vote for Joe Biden in the primaries, both because he has no compelling policy that i've been able to decipher, and because sniffing a woman's hair in a professional setting isnt something my generation accepts, thank god. His actions are a throw back to a very old school professional environment when women werent taken seriously.

    I'm entitled to feel this way and to vote for who best represents my interests in the primary
     
  12. Dems should be attacked for these things, because they should be promoting the ideals that causes people to accuse them of these things. And the right knows damn well that what they're saying isn't true. It's all about hating the other guy and keeping the nation separated. Because they're not happy unless there's some villainous "other."

    And oh, so we're honestly going to get all paranoid about Russian interference in this election? Way to undermine our electoral process even more than it already is undermined. We all thought it was being rigged by both parties last time, not to mention the Russians. They were really an afterthought. But now, who knows who the winner is. Why don't we just put everything on standby and keep Trump in office while we figure out how to stop these damned Russians.

    Anyway, half of the attacking of Democrats going on is by other Democrats, and the Democrats news media (CNN and MSNBC.) Act like they aren't the Democrat news media all day, but that's what they are.
     
  13. One picture of two dudes hugging is supposed to make me think it's all right for Biden to have a habit of smelling girls' hair? It's totally different. But knowing you, MeAgain, you're all on board the major networks' decision to support Biden over all other candidates at all costs.
     
  14. I agreed with you on Biden a day ago. But I've had a change of heart. For years I figured he was a walking marshmallow, no spine and hard to take seriously. But I looked over the record again today as the revelations about the Ukrainian Prosecutor popped up in several places this morning.

    I didn't realize what a stealthy personality he was on the world stage. But the threat he made, to bankrupt their country if they didn't get this prosecutor off of his son's neck, that's pure Nixon-esque gold. Looking back at his time as VP it's obvious that he's the only one in the gaggle democrats are assembling who is actually qualified for the position.

    He's more qualified than Trump. Slightly more qualified than Hillary, but after Libya it seems plain that Hillary is just as ruthless as Tricky Dick as well. The fact she lost to an unqualified Washington/Establishment outsider damages her badly.

    Or maybe I just want to see Stacy 2nd to the throne way before she's qualified!

    Thanks, thats exactly what I wanted ....someone to explain why Biden is appealing in terms other than "he's our best chance for beating Trump!"

    Granted, this doesnt say anything about his domestic policy which is what i'm most concerned about, our country is falling apart if anyone hasnt noticed.

    But it does give insight into why people find him appealing so thanks!
     
  16. I know I want a president who will threaten to bankrupt one's country if they don't leave his son alone. Uber qualified! That guy is tough! :grimacing:
     
  17. Right, greed-motivated people are easier to predict.

    These men are actors. What they are doing is scripted, and consensual
     
  19. I guess it takes one to know one, right.
     


  20. Don't ask me to vouch for whoever the source of this video is. I'm just judging by the content alone. smh Give me a break. I wouldn't even touch my beloved niece like this guy touches these girls.
