Its hard leaving thecoli but I gotta find a way...
Also isn't student loan debt over 1 trillion? The only way to solve that is to throw people in jail or cancel it. People gotta live.

Bernie has consistently polled and performed the best of any candidate among independents though.

You sound mad as hell my man.
Moderates will go with someone like Trump before they go with someone far left. That isn't both ways. You dudes can't be this out of touch politically.
The average voter doesn't give a damn about 75% of the stuff he is going on and on about. That's the truth. People on here don't want to think about the average voter. They want to sit up with all their internet born smarts and look down on somebody. The average voter far outnumbers the folks with the heavy political vocabulary(how many voters would know what a populist or a Democratic Socialist is? how many would give a damn if they did?). Get out of that echo chamber.
Liberals will come out for a moderate. Independents will come out for a moderate. This has been a deciding factor in every election we've taken. Do we really need to go back and forth over this?
I'm not gonna. I promise. I'm watching these stocks take off(something that wouldn't be happening if Bernie was gaining more traction). Dude is proposing all kinds of economy tanking crap without a single regard for shyt. Needs to go away.

A couple moderates dropping out and supporting another moderate is news and a conspiracy to y'all? You really should have started paying attention to politics before 2016. This isn't news.

Not in swing states. That's not an accident.
Bernie is raising his own money without the dems.
And if he ran as an independent, yall would be bytching about him splitting the vote.
A huge chunk of this country supports Bernie for president, taxpayers donating money on his behalf and yall trying to say their voice dont matter cause Bernie isnt apart of some bullshyt corrupt ass party.
fukk outta here
Last time I checked, Democrats were for universal healthcare and affordable college, both of which Bernie has made his main campaign issues.
Trump's calculations aren't the same as any Democratic candidate. He doesn't operate in a big tent.
The Republican party is a demographic monolith so by pandering to the base, he can still grab adjacent supporters who aren't as hardcore but share 95% of the same views.
In my opinion, that's 10x harder for a Democrat. They have all sorts of "bases" they have to gain support from and many of them are in staunch opposition to each other.

lemme make a thread about this. BrbOP doing a lot offor a socialist Jew who doesn’t think black people need reparations.
the reason is simple. I see a lot of people around me fukkED when they get sick. fukkED.
I am a veteran with VA coverage and I never once thought, "I am not feeling good. Better tough it out."
I went to the emergency room in the VA and got every 10,000 dollar procedure done within 24 hours, no questions asked.
Anyone who has never seen the joy of having 100% coverage at no cost will never understand how freeing it is. The horror stories of the VA are myths to privatize it. The VA has always been dope.
Well then why run as a Democrat breh? What is his goal running on the ticket of a party he hates? He needs the resources. Easy.Bernie is raising his own money without the dems.
And if he ran as an independent, yall would be bytching about him splitting the vote.

ask a republican redneck with 80k in student loans who she is voting for. I dare you. All the loyalty in the world to Trump won't save him from an 80k debt at a 9% interest rate that can never be forgiven. That shyt fukks with your soul.

it's a smarter strategy, because you more or less would rely on resources they'd have to provide for you ideally as oppose to running as an independent which would be a better fit for someone like bloomberg.
