I mean it's true. They're for a lot of the same things and she sat silently and watched his campaign choke to death knowing she could have stepped in and had an influence.
This. I don’t know why people still being obtuse, they share the same ideologies but she won’t support him. She’s playing the game obviously just like last time.

He could appoint Supreme Court justices that would be passed through the senate.
Depends on who the nominee is. Merrick Garland was nominated and the Senate neutered the president's power and it didn't happen.

What she did is problematic in and of itself but the fact that she was more than comfortable doing it because of who she did it to speaks volumes. Part of being a successful politician is striking alliances and to me Warren and Sanders was a wide open layup he bricked.

I'm just not seeing Sanders as the type that's gonna get anything done if it involves people that initially oppose him. This is especially true if he can't even bring people aboard that see stuff the same way he does. He was destined to be an ineffective single term president.

It's not fun to say any of this cause I liked the things he was talking about but it's gonna have to get accomplished another way. For better or worse he is effectively the inverse of Trump. Trump however benefited from the party being so fragmented that they split the base and his 30% was enough to steal the election. The party also fell in line after he won and Trump from a policy standpoint does what the party wants so there's compromise on his part.

The party squashed Bernie and his 30%. They quickly united to end it. Probably having watched Trump they knew if they kept things fragmented Bernie would win. I don't think Bernie would govern like how Trump fell in line with the party and they fell in line with him. He would have fought with the Democrats and Republicans alike and nothing involving congress would have gotten done for him.

That was a Republican controlled Senate, which would obstruct no matter which Democratic president was in place. The Democrats would let a Sanders nominee through just to not completely lose the court.

Nah its over he needs to drop out all he would be doing now is trumps bidding
They already getting an investigation on trumps sons as I type and this is why we will see another 4 years of trump. Protecting Biden at this point from criticism is futile.

If the Biden campaign is smart, as he pivots to the general election. He should adopt one of Bernies or Warrens policy proposals to reconcile with the progressives.

Student Loan Debt Forgiveness or Their Climate Change Proposals.

Wouldn't hurt to pick up Buttigieg or Bloomberg black agenda plan for black america or even actively support real reparations since he owes black america for reviving his campaign.

It should be all hands on deck for this one cause I want an electoral massacre of Trump and Trumpism in November 2020

He'd better. I have little to no motivation to vote for him currently.
I live in Texas unless he's going to finally flip this state fear of Trump isn't much.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Hillary refused to drop out in 2008 even after it was mathematically impossible for her to win. She said she was staying in the race because maybe Obama would get RFK'd.

Centrists had no problem with that.


Since we know Biden is going to try to pivot to the General in the debate. I need Bernie to hammer him on electability as well as policy.

Yeah it's not lookin' good. The bigger issue is that even if Biden stumbles, there's a mass movement to ignore it or you're not being a team player. They're not giving Bernie any momentum even if he does get some upsets. I think Biden has to really crash and burn in the one on one debate for any hope, but that it's more likely the media downplays a bad performance or even uses it to pump their "Bernie hurts my feelings" narrative some more. Frustrating but not unforeseen, I been trying to pad the landing in case we fell of in my lefty podcast segments for a while.

I'm more dismayed that they managed to beat the likes of Cisneros against Cuellar. We're not gonna surprise anyone going forward and they'll be pumping resources into maintaining their power at every level, we have to keep building our own infrastructure and figure our methods to break mainstream narrative building...a challenge that I'm not sure how to even approach at the moment. Door Knocking didn't work over the constant barrage.

Not the most political episode overall but when we did cover Super Tuesday with our frustrations and some thoughts going forward; It wound up being a pretty extended segment. I keep trying to hammer home that M4A has dominated the exit polls because it's a sign that the momentum is real. Our messages are being heard, but we've gotta keep hammering them home and normalizing the concepts and ideas behind them. I'll prolly look for a chance to hit next episode with the fact that Biden's numbers don't reflect "enthusiasm" so much as "settling." His bump didn't come from anything he did, it was just Pete and Amy dropping out. Bernie was leading until that moment. Anyway, I think this was more along the lines of our general show which adds more variety or topics and comedy than when we go full politicking and it still goes heavy on the lefty messaging for the entire second half. Give us a listen fam. I'ma keep pushing Lefty ideas and policies as well as strategy going forward whether Bernie wins or loses.
