@skado I call people delusional who don't look at facts. I call people delusional who don't face up to reality. i don't respect humanity and haven't in decades, and I have seen nothing in the history of humanity make me budge from that position. Bernie lost to Clinton by over 3,000,000 votes in the primaries in 2016, and he is losing to Biden now. Those are facts. Bernie is not a part of the Democratic Party. he is a registered Independent. I give you facts. Name a government of any size that isn't corrupt, no matter what form that government takes. It won't matter because you have no facts to back your position. You will give me more bullshit amounting to nothing. I can't enlighten the stupid. If that were true, we would not be in the position we are in.

@skado Delusional is a state of mind. If I call someone smart they don't get upset. Wouldn't that be name calling? We only call it "name calling" if it is deemed negative. We don't call it "name calling" if it is deemed positive. That is just silly and quite stupid. Delusional is an accurate description at this time for many Bernie cultists as it is the trump cultists. They both act and sound the same. That is a fact.

@itsmedammit Shopping is part of greed. Owning shit you don't need is greed. Most Americans don't have the means to accumulate money, but they do have credit cards, so they run up their debt buying shit they don't need. Credit card debt in this country is $1.04 TRILLION. This is not true in other societies.

You have nothing to counter my argument because it is based on reality. i don't respect the delusional, otherwise I would have to respect trumpers. Where is this information and where are these unicorn lands? I don't respect childlike behavior from adults and that is exactly what Bernie followers are acting like.

If you think the money people will not be running the country if Bernie wins, you have much better drugs than I do. The RICH run and have run every country in history since there were kingdoms or countries. That ain't going to change.All you can do is put regulations on them which Democrats do and then Republicans undo them. This will not change either.

As confirmed by responses here: I'm afraid that Bernie supporters would boycott the general election out of spite if Biden is the nominee, thus confirming their dire predictions. Their hostility is so rabid.

@Charlene That is just ridiculous. You act like Bernie is the saviour of the world. He would not be able to get all of the Dems in the Congress to vote for Medicare for all. As for free college, the Federal Goverenment has nothing to do with state universities. That is entirely up to the states. That is fact. If they don't vote, it is on them and they need to be bitch slapped. This is the worst President in our history. If people don't vote him out no matter who the nominee is, it is on them. There is no excuse period. This is no time for whiny cry babies. If they didn't learn in 16 then they are too stupid to live, much less vote. That is just fact!

Sticks48 replies on Mar 4, 2020:
Trump has already said he might not debate. There is no law he has to debate. In a debate he has to defend his record. In 2016 he had no record to defend. Trumps ads against Biden won't be near as bad as his "Socialist" ads he will hit Bernie with. Biden will definitely pull those right leaning Independents and moderate left leaning Indies. Hopefully Trump fatigue will bring some of those millions who didn't vote in 16. We will see.

If all registered Democrats watched this, I think Bernie would be projected to win the presidency by a landslide. IMO, the DNC is criminally moderate.
Sticks48 replies on Mar 3, 2020:
Less than 50% of registered Democrats identify as progressive. 28% of registered voters are Democrats about the same number are Republicans. The rest are registered Independents. The Indies are moderate whether they lean left or right. Only about 10% or less of Indies are really independent. Do the math. It is scary.

@Nunya He didn't say anything we haven't known for a long time. I don't care which Dem gets the nod. Not one of them excites me. I like Warren the best , but l don't think she will get the nomination. It will most likely be Bernie or Biden, unless neither one can come up with over 50% of the delegates and it ends up a brokered convention. If that happens it could be anybody. I will vote for the Dem no matter who it is. If it was you, you would get my vote.After all is said and done, whoever wins the nomination, if they can't pull in a large number of those left leaning independents, they can't win. That is a fact.

Texas turned red like other southern states after civil rights legislation. Many parts of this state are still very racist. The gerrymandering has helped maintain that edge.

@AnneWimsey Not really. Why do you think Biden crushes Trump in national poles. People want what they consider normal. I go by what l see and hear. It is no different than your assumptions or anyone else's at this point. Everyone is assuming and guessing, including you. You are all assuming if Bernie wins there will be big changes. Bernie won't even be able to get a Democratic controlled house to go with most of his ideas. There are a lot of moderate Dems who will not vote for his ideas and no Republicans. If the Dems don't take the Senate it will be like with Obama, and the Republicans will pass nothing, especially if McConnell or McCarthy are in charge.

@Charlene MOST.PEOPLE DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY PERCEIVE AS RADICAL CHANGE. The big question is will the hard core Bernie people and Bernie himself support someone if Bernie doesn't get the nomination. If not, they will be just as much to blame as the people who vote for trump. If they don't and trump wins they need to shut the fuck up. Bernie needs to quit coming off as the angry old man. lf you look at our history, angry does not win national elections. People like positive messaging. The main thing is getting rid of trump, period. Ant Democrat will be better than trump. That is fact. If you want to gamble on a 7 to 2 Supreme court, then don't vote and help put trump in. I'm fine with Bernie, but none of them excite me.

@Charlene We are and have been a corprotist country for awhile and or no one else is going to change that because congress and that includes several Dems are not going to change it. Big change comes when a generation dies and right now that is we Boomers. Boomers run most things and will for awhile.
