The Root’s power rankings post last week was really something. One of the main criticisms you hear from the anti-Bernie crowd, especially here, is that he is somehow actively courting racist white people. You then here in the commentary that older black voters are leaning to Biden because he’s not going to offend…

Not that I don’t believe you, but I’m going to have to at least meet this dog before I cast a vote for it. 

I respect the fact that he can’t just use that as his stock answer for anything and everything related to the black community, but the fact that it’s almost been turned into a negative for him is really astounding.

Shut up, dummy. 

Why is the smartest person automatically the best candidate and subsequent leader? I don’t get this logic. You people are such overt technocrats.  

What does this even mean? What presidents of the past were great leaders* because they were policy wonks? Are you expecting the president to be hunkered down in the White House 24/7 going over spreadsheets?

No, it actually doesn’t require a public option first. You’re framing it as some sort of prerequisite.

I’ll give them nothing. That’s pittance in terms of their overall net worth. It’s funny how these motherfuckers can give away so much money to their personal pet projects, yet their overall wealth continues to grow year-by-year.

What’s even better is the belief that black people were somehow tricked into not supporting her. 

I have no doubt you consider the Iraq War to be Hilary Clinton's War. 

This isn’t easy for me to say, cdwag, but you need to STFU and....

He dismantled his entire grassroots operation and had financial elites vet his cabinet. He could have done what Bernie Sanders has proposed doing and completely ratfucked politicians like Joe Lieberman.

The one good thing to come out of that obstruction was that they even refused to make cuts to Social Security and Medicare like he wanted.

Before it was Obamacare, it was Romneycare.

Polling below Andrew Yang.

Good. Fuck you.

Bloomberg and Deval are not going to bleed support from Bernie. His base is pretty much locked in at this point. This only hurts centrist candidates and possibly Warren, since I think some of her supporters sometimes have incoherent politics. Late entry centrist candidates are only going to help him, because like you…
