They’ve been attacking Democrats as socialists for the entirety of my adult life, and while I, personally, wish that were in any way reflective of reality, I think fewer and fewer people find it the scare line it used to be.

THIS. I am all in for Bernie, and hope he is the nominee, but I literally keep that very very quiet because I don’t want to be confused for the assholes that are clogging up my social media feeds with their insults towards anyone who dares to suggest we “vote blue no matter who” or backs another candidate.
The right has beaten the socialist trope to death with every democrat in the last decade or more. It is silly to think it will somehow become this awesome weapon it never was before in this election.
Co-sign. I am also in the “Not a fan of Sanders, would never in a million years would vote for him in the primary, but would GLADLY vote for him in November.”
A better liar at least....
Thank you. A trump win was suppose to bring on the revolution, I’m still waiting for that to begin. If you stay home I are voting for trump end of story. To much as at stake to just stay home and bitch.
I mean... maybe? If you’re arguing that somebody less to the left/more to the center could win these races, sure, why not. I feel like the suggestion from winning a primary against a moderate Dem, though, is that they generated more enthusiasm, and it seems like grassroots support is important to keeping the party…
Saying it now: Biden is not my preferred nominee. Biden is still a whole hell of a lot better than Trump, and I will gladly vote for Biden over Trump.
Never underestimate America’s love of men no matter if they’re at death’s door or already dead.
Yeah, younger people didn’t feel the affects of the last financial crisis or a dip in their retirement savings. Instead, they have no assets or retirement savings.
It’s pretty funny to threaten to kick them out of the party in reaction to them saying that the party is big.
Same....the bottom fucking line is to get King Clownshoe and his dumbassed minions both related and not the fuck out right now.
It really is something to see a bunch of establishment, third way Democrats, who have overseen some pretty stunning losses of power and influence, panic because a couple of viable candidates are *gasp* reviving a brand of New Deal populism that saw Democrats wield at least some significant amount of power in one form…
She actually probably is a pretty good person to make this argument given that a lot of the voters who might be inclined to not vote for the Democratic candidate are also inclined to take her seriously. I’m not sure what a factual thing she said a few weeks ago about the weirdness of the two party system has to do…
AOC is quite pragmatic, she supports Sanders but realizes there is a good chance he doesn’t get the nomination
I agree, just for the love of God, do not make me have to go into a voting booth and fill in a square next to Michael Bloomberg.
The only way I would not vote for the Democratic nominee is if I thought that person was going to be worse than Trump. That’s not going to happen, so I’m voting blue.
At this point I really do think Elizabeth Warren is hands down the best candidate in the race
The Abrams video gave me hope after the absolute fuckery of the past few days. Republicans are complicit in the cover up of Trump’s crimes and there will absolutely be much, much more that comes out about his misdeeds here and elsewhere. This will go down as dark stain on the nation’s history and I pray that the GOP…
Deadsplinter does not invite comparison to Deadspin or Splinter. It offers refuge for the entire Kinja community and was named after the first two main blogs to die. Deadsplinter will never be a place with ads, greys (such as yourself here on Jezebel) or trolls. We will never equate to the Kinja main blogs because we…
