:lol You'd be saying this regardless of who the Dem nominee was. It's a daily affirmation to distract yourself from the fact that your "side" got hijacked by a cult of racist morons, and you will have to continue to cater to those people to have any chance of staying in power.Quote:

Would have been interesting to see what could have happened if Bernie hadn't run and his supporters had focused their efforts on a different candidate who didn't proudly brand himself a socialist. Unfortunately this is a buzzword society and branding matters.
Would have also been interesting if Uncle Tom Clyburn didn’t endorse a candidate who refers to African Americans as “colored people” :lolQuote:

And she had an entire campaign built on being a "progressive" before the mask finally came off.
Warren supporters are hilarious, though. True identity politics.
I don’t think it was the mask coming off, I think she is a true progressive who got talked into the type of bullshit identity politics establishment democrats use to distract from real issues. She has a much better track record getting stuff done than Bernie too (ie the CFPB) so she would have been more electable if she stuck to just being a progressive.Quote:

If Bernie would have stopped using the Socialist moniker so much he would've had a much better chance...older and middle aged Americans are still scared to death by that word...
So are somewhat progressive young people that simply don’t want to lose the next election.Quote:

Seriously what is IronMexican’s deal. He hates Biden (understandably) the establishment dems, but also dislikes Bernie for accepting the loss and trying to help defeat Trump, as anyone else not for Trump should be doing anyways.
Is Bernie supposed to run as a third party candidate?
I don't think there's any 'deal'... he's just disillusioned with progressives having to eat the shit sandwich every time. He's got a point.Quote:
