as far as running a campaign goes it seems there is an argument for building popularity for your ideas vs saying my ideas aren't going to be popular enough so I'll need to change the rules

which is more likely, getting 60 votes for UHC or getting institutionalists like Shumer to remove the filibuster? Both seem unlikely so play your hand until the deck is shuffled

Congress can't even agree about a Violence Against Women bill because of the NRA's influence. How the fukk does he expect to pass any of his bold legislation without blowing up the filibuster? Congress will just sit on their hands for 2 years refusing to work with a socialist and the Dems will get washed again in the 2022 midterms.
I am under the impression that if they win the senate and presidency, they will get washed in 2022 anyway.

You have dudes with no political capital trying to raise their profile as if we can’t see they have no real juice. Castro can’t carry his own state, why is he running? Beto suffers from the same disease. Eric probably can’t win a primary battle against that old ass Feinstein. Why is he running?

Sanders picks and chooses his spots in a perplexing manner.:upsetfavre:
many old, mentally :flabbynsick: people are...let's keep trying to put 80 year olds in the white house, brehs

a 79 year old would get laughed out an interview in 99% of places but we keep putting these fukks in the forefront of running the highest offices in the land, :smh:

Do you guys not see this as a strategy coming from the Democrats to flood the primary with as many candidates as possible?
a strategy by the republicans, yea. split fundraising, cause deep divisions amongst similar sets (centrists, liberals, progressives) as well as across factions, and exhaust our attention spans. republicans don't have a wide a coalition to bridge when they have a large field full of fighting, dems do...this shyt will end up being full on fukkery :ld:

seems like so many of his backers are anti excess wealth (tax them, they shouldn't hoard resources, the 1% :sadbron: ), surely millionaires fall into excess wealth...follow a leader form a demo you spend half your time railing against, brehs :sas1:

So you're saying rich people can't betray their own class? :mjgrin:

Well, considering he's been the Senator and before Congressman from VT, a small state, with no national profile of his own... he was on the poorer end of people in Congress.

When he ran in 2016, his net worth was only in the few hundred thousands. :bernielaugh:

that's what bernie bros/socialists act like actually...like you can't be wealthy and also be for the greater good...:mjpls:


and a good chunk of his suporters think earning a couple hunnid thousand is too much also :usure:
