Gabbard is fukking scaring me.
remember, NH is an open primary... a lot of her support is Republicans
I'll look at the polls but even if 2 of 3 percent could switch to Bernie that would help. The fact that she only has made a play in NH and has under 10 percent has me worried. She's friendly with Bernie's campaign so I'm not getting why she's still in with no path.

Breh, I remember Hillary polling at an average of 27 points there and then on Election Day beating Bernie by damn near 50 points. Shid still spookyStill think people are overestimating Biden’s chances in SC
I know Bernie has a team putting in work there the last 9-10 months and he’s gonna be on the airwaves even more. Which is much different than four years ago. But I’m still spooked

I just think shyt is different now. Bernie’s ground game is next level and a lot of his staff are black and from SC. Bernie has been closing in the polls. Biden’s supporters are the most uncommitted of all the voters, record youth turnout in Iowa is a great sign. Biden isn’t Hillary.

Bernie's coming in 3rd in SC. Best case scenario Steyer passes Biden too
can we not do this
i stayed home in 2016, and im embarrassed to say that. lets get the orange fakkit out of office. zero candidates on this stage are worse than trump
While this line of attack is ridiculous on Bernie since he's not a communist... I feel that there is an additional aspect of communist nostalgia that needs to be mentioned as a response to any such attack, a phenomenon not sufficiently known outside of ex-communist countries.
Until recently I used to believe that the communist nostalgia is specific to ex-Yugoslavia (i.e. Yugonostalgia) because we had a bloody war immediately afterwards and because we had a system of democracy at work, where all firms were cooperatives, so that our communism was not centrally planned from the top...
Therefore it was no surprise that some of important voices on the global scale fighting inequality were ex-Yugoslavian, from a relatively small country of just 23 million people. Slavoj Žižek became famous writing columns in official herald of the Youth Section of the CP of Slovenia in the 80s, calling for political democratization. Branko Milanović, before publishing his work on the elephant curve with the World Bank, did his PhD on economic inequality in Ex-Yugoslavia at the Belgrade University in 1987. Hell, even Jacobin has ex-Yugoslavian rappresentation in Branko Marčetić.
Our communism did have some great qualities.
Just recently I realized that the communist nostalgia is a recurring phenomenon throughout the eastern Europe:
People did not like lack of democracy, but they liked safety and security, great healthcare and education systems, more financing for kids sports and for art. And some are unfortunately willing to forego democracy for all those good things.
72% of Hungarians believe it was better during communism than in capitalism. This also explains how they ended up with Victor Orban.
We need a new reborn left in the world or a lot of countries will end up with fascism.
I truly believe that you are fighting not just for the soul of the US, but for the future of the world.
