the irony of being on DAPT but hating the pharmaceutical companies. His hatred for them is probably even greater now
For real. Obama had to be as perfect as a human being to even win the nomination. The presidency he had to be like JFK without the scandals and a master oriator. The comparasions are night and day, and in fact, insulting to Obama. Bootyman is empty nonsense that is a gay white male.

LOL
she is my second favorite candidate. she most certainly would get my vote in the general election, brehI’m sure you were just about to vote for her too, but now only Bernie.....

VOTE!!!
Politico is telling me that Bernie did poorly by coming in first and that Amy is killing it by coming in third.
Usain Bolt should have slowed down at the end of the race so he could grab bronze
Biden has horribly and utterly failed in every presidential election he's ever entered. How is he the safer pick? Why do people believe he won't suck in the general when he sucks in the primaries every single time?
Warren is simply a less inspiring campaigner than Bernie. I'd be fine with either one, but it's clear Bernie has the juice and Warren doesn't. You can't blame the woman thing when women are the majority of primary voters and Klobuchar just doubled her up in New Hampshire. If she can't get off the ground in the primaries, why would she fair better in the general?
Bernie is a Type 1 personality - he cares more about getting shyt right than being liked or getting along. But Type 1 personalities are huge on integrity, and we're at a time in history where people want someone with integrity whether or not he's always compromising and trying to get along with everyone. Bill Clinton was the ultimate compromise candidate who chose popularity over any personal values, and all that got us was a bunch of shytty right-wing legislation and he couldn't even hold onto Congress anyway.

is he tho
He tries to copy Obama's mannerisms and cadence and voice inflection when giving this speech. It is very eerie.

Well it looks like people can't get enough of it
But one thing is clear though, nobody wants to hear well thought out policies with multiple steps and statistics.
Smart-dumb shyt is what the people want
This is the point I was trying to make yesterday morning about means testing vs universal policies. Universal are waaay easier to explain and sell. You can “elevator pitch” a universal program very easily, it’s much more verbose to break down a means tested policy to already low info voters with short attn spans.

I'd probably throw in a jab about sending her back to her wigwam if I weren't like most of the idiots in here
Anyways I hope Sanders wins the primary so you all don't decide to stay home and we have to continue pretending we're carrying on some type of accelerationist LARP a la post 2016 election as we see more minorities targeted by the Trump administration and white supremacists. That would be pretty solid, I would like to live in world where Trump is not president and white supremacists are given free reign.

Your honor, I was merely capping.
It's best when Bernie's supporters make electability arguments for him
That's all for now #bebest
He's the most well-liked of all the candidates.
He's had the best election track record of all the candidates.
He's consistently beating Trump in the polls, to a degree better than all the candidates except Biden.
He's got the broadest support base of all the candidates.
He polls best among independents of all the candidates.
He raises money better than any of the other candidates.
He's the most known quantity and thus the least likely to lose support or have an unknown scandal come up.
Honestly, Bernie's electability arguments are easy as hell to make. The only thing the haters have left is "but socialism!", as if all the people answering those polls don't already know that about Bernie. All the other candidates have weak points that they'll try to hide, deny, or downplay, Bernie's the only candidate whose supposed "weak" point is something he fully embraces and everyone already knows.
