Wait...someone described Michael Cohen as a man “with no reason to lie or obfuscate”, and Don Jr. retweeted it? How are these people so fucking bad at this?

He’s a person who envisions the “working class” as dads on the factory line, not single moms who are waitresses. And it’s painfully obvious.

I get worried when legitimate complaints of Bernie get handwaved away as: “Well you don’t have to like him to support him”. It reeks of the same double-standard Trump supporters use. With the field that exists today, we don’t need to hitch up to this wagon again.

he would never, could never beat trump. I will give him credit in that he’s sold a large swath of people (young white liberals, mostly) that he has some secret ability to talk to the working class. But once you puncture the shiny veneer of this premise, it’s all downhill from there.

My problem with Sanders is he is too much of a grandstanding bullshiter. He deals with not getting his way by shouting and pouting. Putting down those who don’t necessarily agree with his “burn it all to the ground” mentality.

Not only that, but he promised to join the party after the 2016 election and then reneged on that promise.

He’s a snake oil salesman.  Grifters gonna grift.  

What makes me extremely nervous about Bernie is his pandering to the “white working class,” which is really pandering to whiteness. People of color are also working class, but he puts a divide down. For women and people of color, we don’t have “identity politics” - a phrase he’s used several times, it’s just politics.…

“Some of us, not me, pinched our noses and voted for Hilldawg.”

Yes, as I recall, Bernie Sanders was in fact the progressive visionary behind Hillarycare! And remember when he won the 2016 primaries?!?

It’s amazing that his positions galvanized a new generation of activism and have pushed the Democratic field to the left. He is demanding many things that we sorely need. I also agree that responsible adults must compartmentalize to some degree when it comes to political candidates - you won’t like EVERYTHING about…

Bernie has fought for progressive causes all his life.  Terrific.  Let him continue to do so from the Senate.  Or as an elder statesman in the private sector.  He shouldn’t be the Democratic Party candidate for president.

This article makes me feel like if I’m not supporting him then it must be because I just don’t “like” the guy. I’m not supporting him for the DEM2020 Primary for a whole bunch of reasons and “likability” is not one of them.

In 2016, Bernie was really the only game in town, regarding his brand of politics. For 2020, it’s clear that there will be other options that are potentially less annoying, less problematic, and lack his baggage. So why stick with him?

Mr Taloolah took me out for a Reuben, then he pulled a ring (not a box, just a ring) out of his Hawaiian shirt pocket and said “So...ya wanna?”

So, you like losing to the GOP? I don’t think super liberal progressives are the majority. I hope you voted for Hillary and would vote for someone you think of as a corporate shill if they are the Dem nominee. Because otherwise we have 4 more years of GOP.

“It made Clinton have to pull left”

For as much as he talks about this monolithic The People, Bernie sure does seem to only view himself as the one who should lead it...

Can we fucking not.

Nope.
