I love Bernie. Democrats are flipping party affiliations and if he gets elected I'm quitting my job and sitting on my ass while everyone else pays for me to be a lazy piece of shit.

Nah, its only hysterical in how the establishment media has gone from loving him when he was a distant runner to living in mortal fear and constant denial he's the upcoming Dem Pres. Nominee.

Man if Bernie gets elected this country is gonna implode. Business's will go back to part time bologna hours on employees... Work the crap outta people for serious jack crap and folks will "get smart"... quit their shitty manual wage slave job and hit the welfare office so quick itll make Wall Street puke. Aint noone with fiscal sense fooled by all this 🌹 colored glasses "share and share alike" shit. Wait and see... Bernie is not the answer. Neither is Trump, but as long as he keeps the illusion of gain going folks will believe in it. Money is King... Never be fooled by liars telling you they "got your back".

I'm no fan of burnie! I fully expect to see it come down to burnie and bloomberg. When it does, the DNC will claim it is too close to call and the supper delegates will vote for bloomberg. I swear, if I get one more mailer from bloomberg, I am going to wipe my ass with it then post it on whatever site will let me!

This is the generational fight for power that you've been hearing me talk about. This is also what I've been saying that there is VERY little difference between the two parties when it comes to ECONOMIC policy. Which is why BOTH parties seek to keep everyone screwing themselves into the ground over the culture wars. That distracts us from the fact that both of them are bought-and-paid for by corporations. Just DIFFERENT corporations. That became undeniably clear back in Obama's first term when Joe Liebermann basically trashed the public option, because he was doing the bidding of the Insurance lobby.....and New York senators helped to basically defang any sort of Banking reform despite having just undergone one of the worst financial crashes of the last 100 years, and Democrats having a filibuster-proof majority. So they were free to pass whatever they wanted, and Republicans coudln't stop it. That whole situation in 2008 and 2009 "broke" something in people's heads that frankly needed to be broken. As people watched the rich-and-powerful scramble to save themselves at the expense of the public, people woke up to the fact that our system is broken and it no longer responds to the average person. So POPULISM is what the political driver today...and I believe that putting up an "establishment" candidate is a guarenteed loser. Because people no longer have faith in the status quo. What is the real face off is what FORM that populism takes. Trump offers Right-wing populism which is---to put it bluntly----ethnocentric. Its basically telling white voters that its the scary brown people from all over the world that are the source of the problems, and all the uncertainty. "They're here to take your stuff!!!" So you scapegoat brown people, so that white people (especially working class people) don't look too closely at how they're getting -blam!-ed over on a class basis. Sanders is offering "Left wing" populims. Which is CLASS based. Which was the foundation of the New Deal Coalition that kept Democrats in power for 60 years. He is taking the Democratic party back to its Pre-Bill Clinton roots. A party that advocates for the working class and the middle-class....and a government that protects average people from the abuses of economic power of corporations and the wealthy..... ....rather than simply doing their bidding which BOTH parties have been guilty of for a generation. Bloomberg didn't jump into this race at this late date because he's concerned that Democrats will lose. He's doing it because he's afraid that the Progressive candidates that the Democrats are putting forward will WIN....and his taxes will go up. So he's running to protect his own wealth and power. Just like Trump did 4 years ago. Only this time he's trying to see if Democrats will fall for the same con-game. Because Trump is no Republican....and Bloomberg sure-as-shit is no Democrat.

I cannot wait to watch the election Bern. The memes alone will be glorious. I dont care if he finishes his first 4yrs out on life support, I want to BERN!!!

Honestly, I think we're gonna see a Presidential election between Sanders and Trump. A lot of Democrats and left-leaning independents are growing more and more upset at the state of the country, and with that, more desperate for change. Sanders is gaining more and more support because he is the most popular, most wide-spoken candidate advocating for massive change. More people are looking for that radical change, leading him to a surge in popularity. In the final election, a lot of Democrats will vote for him purely because he's not Trump, because they're frustrated that Trump is still in office. Sanders was already popular amongst some demographics, but this election may actually turn out to be a good battle between Sanders and Trump. Plus, let's be real, Sanders isn't really a DEMOCRAT, he's just a progressive running for the slot of the democrats. If he gets elected, he's gonna get shut down at most turns by both parties lol. He won't get much done. Also, it'll be fun seeing the havoc that occurs if it happens.

I'm really enjoying this. So now I guess a crawling wave of Boomer Democrats voting Trump is going to happen? This is too good...

You forget that the European establishment is socialist too. Better an American establishment than becoming European proxie. Georgie boy would be turning over in his grave if he could see what a mess bernie is causing.

The media hates them both so they don't know who to root for
