'But he's not a Democrat!'

[GPBear]

Bernie lost to Hillary who lost to Trump. Using HLs logic, that makes Bernie the worst candidate of all time

Bernie would've beat Trump. He lead Clinton in the primaries in the counties where Trump later swindled the election by winning over in swing states. It was a massive blunder on the Dem's part, because clearly the cities are going to vote for Democrat, so the fact that Hillary narrowly edged out Sanders in the major areas, meanwhile Sanders had overwhelming leads in rural areas, means that they should have sided with Sanders (if they wanted to win). But clearly, the major so-called 'democrats' tacitly benefit from republican policies, so they don't gaf about winning so much as they care about *who* wins.

I created a man of straw? I'm not the one who is using this wide brush to paint the whole Democratic Party as this Manchin enabling and loving caucus.

That shyt literally doesn't exist.


Everyone I've ever interacted with despises Manchin no matter their race or age if they are Democrats or even remotely aligned.

"Fervent online spokespeople" may as well be the whole party you're right

I thought this sub forum was supposed to be trolling free instead all I see are posters trolling and acting butthurt
whenever a thread or post is made offering valid criticism of dems
quite frankly I'm disappointed with the level of discuss on HL most of the time
it might as well be the locker room

This is how political discussion tends to be in this country, even at the "highest" levels. We have trolls in congress.

Is Manchin a good representation of the party as a whole? No

I'm sorry that pointing out the obvious to you is so frustrating

Hypothetically, if your only two choices were Manchin or Bernie, who would you roll with? And yes, I understand that this is not a realistic scenario, but in line with this thread, I want to know who you would choose.

I would keep voting for Bernie until the Feds drag me away screaming




Manchin has offered us nothing and he isn't going to change

He doesn't even represent the interests of his constituents




Who the fukk do you guys think you're even arguing with in HL or really anywhere in the real world that support Joe Manchin?


He has no policies and he has no base

These guys have created a fantasy world where people would vote for politicians they view as harmful just to spite Bernard.

But Manchin is a democrat and can win the middle amirite

What makes you think the party apparatus would support Bernie rather than Manchin as its Presidential nominee?

The higher ups putting the kibosh on Bernie for Manchin and voters falling in line wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility and seeing as though Manchin has no policies or base...

That's crazy. Who would do that, just go and use a wide brush to paint a whole group of people? Definitely not you, friend.

and yet he manages to get elected as a democrat, in a red state that voted 70 percent trump. a state that you will literally never step foot in, ever

lets primary him with an NYC limousine liberal from YOUR circle, and see who ends up winning the seat

Lose the battle win the war. Get manchin out

 

[the cac mamba]

yes, let's replace manchin with a republican i like the strategy

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

That's not a realistic strategy in this country.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Make him as irrelevant as possible. If he defeats a challenger and holds vs a Republican so be it. Money should not be directed his way and attention is better served placed elsewhere. Hes too toxic

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

That's not a realistic strategy in this country.

Then dems need to get creative in other races rendering him totally irrelevant. There was hope he would play ball but instead has done the most damage he possibly could have to the administration and the party.

The less of him seen or spoken of the better.

I just have so little faith in the upper levels of the party that they would think it's good business to support him or someone like him as opposed to someone like Bernie to be the head of the party. A man with no base or values and merely a political registration.

Who are these guys? I asked him a simple question, I didn't imply I expected him to answer either way. What's the issue?

You're the type who will swear "no one is thinking about Bernie" but will also be the top poster (aside from OP) in a Bernie related thread.

I'll tag you if I ever make a thread about Bernie.
