The rage some people have at Sanders is completely and utterly bizarre to me. We’d all be better off if more politicians held his views

I have no idea how anybody can come to the conclusion that Sanders, who begged Warren to run in ‘16 because he didn’t want to, and is more responsible than anybody in america for ideas that are vastly important and would benefit many (like medicare for all, student and medical debt forgiveness, 15 dollar minimum wage)…

Ah yes, what a monster. Socialised healthcare! Debt forgiveness! Truly the political positions of a self-interested Bloombergian tyrant.

He became a millionaire in 2016, and it’s because of his book. He should have told people not to get his book? Per Roll Call, he’s the 423rd richest person in Congress. So nobody in congress should be anti-capitalist? Who should run then? Only gutter punks or academics? He’s been preaching the same message his entire…

Calling Bernie Sanders of all candidates a narcissistic sociopath, in a cycle that has Donald fucking Trump, Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden who is constantly caught lying, Elizabeth Warren who won’t even endorse a candidate, Kamala Harris who would said one thing at a debate and then walk it back almost right after. And…

And yet, he’s the candidate we have, regardless of what we want. And unlike beef, you can’t just wrap Joe Biden up in cellophane and stick him in a freezer in hopes that you can defrost him come October. Biden is supposed to beat Donald Trump. And Donald Trump isn’t going to go easy on Joe.

yes, because trying to make sure every person in the country can see a doctor, get their prescriptions filled, and not go bankrupt is sociopathy.

Pshaw. Voter turnout has surged among moderate voters, and your opinion is that it is a bad thing for Biden to get more and more voters in the habit of voting for him?

I like how Sanders spent an entire speech talking about the needs of real people that Biden has largely ignore and dismissed and your takeaway is that he’s narcissistic. But then you were swearing up and down a few months ago that Kamala Harris would be the nominee so you’ve got a tradition of being wrong to uphold I…

Why is it bad for Joe Biden to have to answer policy questions that are important to the voters he is going to have to win over in order to be President?

Ah yes, the DSM IV clearly indicates a constant desire to help people they don't know as being both narcissistic and sociopathic. 

Indeed. The telltale sign of a “narcissistic sociopath” is *checks notes* stridently advocating for general welfare-enhancing policy change.

“Look, I like Warren, but I just don’t think she can beat Trump” was a nonsensical, self-fulfilling caution. We can argue all day long about whether it was misogyny or not that propelled that argument, but, at the end of the day, there wasn’t any logic to it. She had great plans, backed up her opinions with data, and…

Bernie is not my first choice for the primary, but Bernie, full-stop, is not pie-in-the-sky. And the best way to talk yourself down is to remember that.

Who are these moderates you speak of? How many people do you know that would vote for Warren over Trump, but not Sanders? Or for Klobuchar over Trump, but not Sanders?

Yes, if you’re afraid that Warren is losing steam, it’s definitely time to get on the Klobuchar bandwagon.

I’d forgotten tha tone. They did freak me out

I’m about 3/4 convinced that the entire Iran murderbot thing was Trump trying to throw Bolton a bone to shut him up.

Horse girl.

It’s really no surprise that some teenage boys love Trump.
