Inside Bernie-world's war on Beto O'Rourke

[Secure Da Bag]

The economics arent the problem with them

Ironically, that's the problem with them.

I personally think that the reason bernie and some other progressives havent done well or poll well in the south is because of their social policies. LGBT and abortion. Many in the south are socially conservative or moderate. Theyre not as indifferent or progressive as the north east or the west.

But those social issues are things that even moderates dems support.

Perhaps. But, as far as i can tell, there is a sizable portion of southern democrats that are democrats because 1. republicans are largely racist 2. They dont believe in safety nets and 3. Its not politically correct to be against those policies..not because they agree with the democrats on every issue

If some of ya centrist neo-libs want people further down the progressive left line to give ya centrist dems a chance during the general election, stop trying to denigrate our candidates and smear them during the primary. Otherwise don't get mad when people wind up voting 3rd party and don't rush over to these moderate dems. Just because some centrist neo-lib claims to be progressive doesn't mean they share my views on all progressive issues. Hell I agree with libertarians on some issues but that don't make me a libertarian.

You don't want progressives to split during the general election, then stop the smear campaigning and the repression from people of our side of the spectrum. The way the super delegates screwed Bernie during the primaries was one of the biggest pieces of corruption in recent memory. Bernie's pretty much has given the Democrats legit concrete platform that have become key policy issues that centrist are now trying to campaign on and then you still have bullshyt like this to de-legitimize him and other progressives. Let all the left and center shoot the fair one during the primaries and let's see who the American people decide on.

Not really, progressive economic policy is seen just as extreme (OMG socialism!). Bernie's not really known regarding social issues from people I known.

The south is mostly right to work states, so the history of labor politics isn't as pronounced or doesn't have the same appeal unless you begin to tie it with the civil rights movement .

[the cac mamba]

people are really serious about bernie running?

he would get washed by trump in 2020. 2016 he would have had a chance, but not in 2020

 

[the cac mamba]

Hell I agree with libertarians on some issues but that don't make me a libertarian.

good luck breh. this line has never worked for me in here

 

[Matt504]

Trump is pretty much guaranteed a second term at this point

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

because of bernie?
Why try to set the narrative like that?

He accepted money from places where he shouldn't, what does that have to do with Bernie?

You lefties are so wack man, you support corruption just like the right does.
And then you wonder why trump supporters continue to support him after corruption is found?

 

[El Bombi]

I was just about to make a thread about this.

TYT are just pathetic and been a joke for a while now.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

this bernie/beto thing is your thing now, huh?
