But like, part of the reason they lost was the cozy relationship between the establishment Dems and the financial sector.

Did you even read that entire article or did you just kneejerk behind somebody writing that B Sand might be less than perfect?

Because that seems to highlight very well the one big chink in his armor. And none of that is new! It's just different personal takes on the same analysis, and it's the glaring flaw that all of his objective supporters have noticed. My personal take has slightly different motivations and conclusions but it's the same basic soup.

Danny,

Lol wait it just hit me. The one thing that makes all The Real Sanders' Supporters cringe and facepalm is the one thing that gets your loins all frothy? This all makes sense now.

this is an issue of transparency, judicial oversight, and due process, not whether surveillance capabilities exist within the government.

Lawl "save me from all the equality" man f--k right off you troll.

Except Bernie was the "Our black brothers and sisters, our Hispanic brothers and sisters, our Native American brothers and sisters", he's the one who campaigned for Jesse Jackson when the white liberal said "that's not realistic. Be patient. " and he's the one who protested for civil rights from the 60s on, he's the one who championed the migrant farm workers and he was one of the first mayors to embrace agay pride parade.

The white male hero bit may apply to some of his supporters and sure as hell was pushed by his DemE detractors, but it's not him.

Sanders, that well known third way centrist

Yeah but that's just a tiny part of the reason imo, and things are so ****ed up now that it seems crazy we're even talking about the optics of this.

The main reason is because dems always start negotiating from the middle just in case the other party isn't feeling totally racist that day. We never take control of the conversation. That's what Bernie was so good at. No matter what the question was he would say, "go **** yourself. I'm raising taxes on the rich." Hillary email question? "**** that question, lets talk about citizens united."

Worrying about this is like making sure your hair looks perfect when you haven't brushed your teeth in a year. But I could be wrong

That Salon article plays fast and loose but I'd say I'll cosign this:

But not this:

Yes? I didn't say the underlying issue is the same. The logic of the apologists is the same. "I like Obama so this is actually good"

The only slightly less ridiculous version of 'COOAAAL JERBS!!' is just that, only slightly less ridiculous.

But I think it kinda stops there, and painting Sanders as some secret white supremacist is lolworthy. I wouldn't even say there's a racial component as with trump, rather it's just Sanders responding to his Dinosaur Marxism triggers with nobody really pulling him aside and pressing the issue like, "As stated this is pretty much a Top Five white supremacy talking point now, so at the very least we need to find a different way to articulate it."

@5ive: Cmon bro. This is an article that among other absurdities describes Bernie as a "mansplainer." It's bad.

Hot take: Glass-Steagall is a third rail for the DemE and if E. Warren runs for POTUS they'll find a slightly more polite way to call her Pochahontis.

The problem is that the 75% is true but also fallacious in the sense they want it to mean. It goes something like this, POC make up the majority of the working class and we captured POCs therefore we've captured the working class, but that's not true if you've made appeals to POC as POC and not as the working class. If that's the case you can have the working class out there suffering and you can be losing working class votes and still have the majority of POC's votes.

You could say that Sanders needs to be more intersectional and discuss interest groups needs more in conjuction with economic concerns but that cuts both ways too.

You didn't deserve the first try but trust me, fans of your work noticed.

Transparency and judicial oversight is also important for the issue of corruption. You don't want to get rid of private and public sector cooperation altogether. You need stronger ethics rules and better oversight.

The corporate democrats don't want Bernie anywhere near the cockpit.

I'm compelled to post this repeatedly in rainbow colors, but that's probably Obama's fault.

Yeah I was out of line there. Sorry bro

Never; the Pocohontas **** is here to say.

I mean the Democrats will be finding a more polite way of calling her Pocohontas. I don't think they've gotten into that yet.

I feel like we continually go in circles with these arguments and the same people wind up on the same sides and we continually rehash the same things -_-

Speaking of Warren she thinks Obama's $400K is "troubling" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ6tFpOk0cw

Those are the bells and whistles but the lede wasn't buried.


That writer seems to think this is a deal-breaker whereas I don't think it's that big of a deal, as it's been there since the start, and I feel this disagreement is a minor detail.

Sanders sold out the 2k capacity Bord Gais theatre in Dublin in under a minute.

There is zero doubt. They're STILL massively butthurt about bernie, they would absolutely MOAB Warren if she wanders outside of her assigned area.
