Wonderful interview. These women are inspiring. 

This narcissistic monster will never understand how it isn’t about him, and will still chase the attention that he feels makes it about him. I feel for Meghan, as I’ve been there myself, on a microscopic scale.

I will not vote for him in any primary (or ANY candidate of that age who has just had a heart attack FFS!) but you better believe I will show up in the general and will even canvas for him in swing states. I won’t be happy about it, but I’ll fucking do it if that’s what it comes to. 

Deficit spending decreased but the deficit never did, except for one year under Clinton. An important distinction while arguing this subject.

I don’t really care about the deficit, but it is worth noting that the deficit increased under Reagan (who helped popularize deficit fear mongering), H.W., and W., and are increasing under Trump even as the Republican majority in Congress is filled with Tea Partiers who are bemoaned by Congress. Meanwhile, the…

Destroy the economy by overspending, destroy the environment, give tax cuts to businesses, loudly and openly racist, cut social programs (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, etc...), underfund and understaff critical agencies (EPA, FDA, USDA, etc...), raise taxes on the 90%, and give themselves a 10% raise…

This reply is made even funnier by the fact this wasn’t a play on my name. It really was just a pissed off knee jerk reaction to this fuckery.

Relevant username is relevant. 

Username appropriateness: Appropriate.

Fuck this shit. I’m done with the internets for the day. 

I have absolutely zero faith that a President Biden wouldn’t just sell the fuck out on Social Security to get some sort of grand bargain with Mitch Fucking McConnell. He’d probably herald it as the return of normalcy and comity after the Trump era, and not even get anything useful from it aside maybe from Republicans…

This is gonna sound snarky but it honest to god is not: you also thought Kamala was an absolute lock for the nomination, so perhaps consider that your hypothesizing could use some work?

My mom will not vote for Warren because she thinks she’s a liar. The majority of people are not politically engaged, all they hear is that she lied about being native american, and it would indeed be a liability in the general.

CNN now has him at 27 (up 7) overtaking Biden (down 2 at 24) for the first time nationally. It’s one poll, so certainly nothing definitive, but it’s one where Sanders has never led, can’t exactly be characterized as designed in his favor, and had clear trend lines, so I don’t think your framing is particularly…

Lol you said this yesterday too and it hasn’t gotten any more correct in the intervening 24 hours (also might wanna check recent polling if you’re holding to that “can’t break 20% nationally” narrative).

Uh. Given that Warren is polling less than Bernie, it’s Warren that’s dividing the progressive vote and helping Biden. In this equation, the only people actively hurting Biden are people campaigning in his lane, but Buttigieg and Klobachar don’t have the momentum.

He delayed running in 2015 to get Warren to run; he ran after she refused to. He got a lot of momentum going but couldn’t close. He then campaigned for Hillary, including in at least one swing state that she herself didn’t go to. He did 28 more events for her than she did for Obama.

Because the principles Sanders fights for are also being fought in the Democratic primary by ______________

Can we, as a society, just stop fucking asking her about anything? Please?

Understood! Social media is the pits and I’m trying to stay a little more removed in 2020. I like Bernie’s policies and I agree with you, even if I prefer another candidate at this point.
