Very glad to hear it. I agree -- there really doesn't seem to be an alternative. I didn't like Clinton at all, but I voted for her. People who don't l...
Well he's been consistently on the right side of history for 40 years, fighting for working people. True, it's not as glamorous as inheriting millions...
I don't consider any of those ridiculous. Yeah yeah, that's been said a million times. Anyone who already believes it's a negative will continue belie...
That's a very important point. I've been trying to make this point as well. It bears repeating over and over again. In many ways, he's already won - i...
That's a fair point. If Bernie were unelectable, my own opinion is that I would put up someone who could beat Trump instead, if it were guaranteed. I'...
It will be an uphill battle without the Senate and state legislators. The establishment media will probably continue to attack on all fronts, etc. So ...
I never said "absolute." Not once. So who's twisting things? If you want to argue a relativity of freedom of the markets, located on some technical no...
Needless to say I agree, except with the cynicism. I'm more optimistic in that case...or maybe more "hopeful." Time will tell. Now here I really disag...
Yes. Climate change is an existential risk to the human species. The Trump administration has appointed people with strong ties to the fossil fuel ind...
Take a look at his position on climate change and the policies enacted under his administration. How his administration isn't a unique existential thr...
There it is again, the magic word: spectrum. Brilliant. How complex you are. What a bunch of bullshit. Why is it always the most simpleminded people w...
And, once again, you miss the point. I'll make it as concrete as I can: the very idea of a free market is nonsense. It hasn't happened, it won't happe...
There are many rational people, like you, in exactly this camp. They like Bernie, or at least agree more with him than other candidates, or at the ver...
That's fair, but all of that is minor compared to '16. Sanders was a relatively unknown candidate at the beginning, came out of nowhere, and so they d...
Perhaps there's a learning disability involved here. Let me be the mean one and tell you for your own good: your entire narrative, which you continue ...
AP is already projecting Sanders wins Nevada. NYT, WSJ, WaPo, etc., are all following suit now. As far as I see only 4% is reporting, but I guess they...
Yeah, one labor union in Nevada accounts for 30% of Democrats' opinions about M4A. Glad a quick Google search did the trick. Go back to reading the NY...
The 30 percent of Democrats don't fall under "voters"? Quite frankly, given the media coverage of M4A, and the general lack of knowledge about it, I'm...
Because they probably don't even know what it means. Which is yet another reason to push for it -- gets everyone talking about it and familiar with it...
What point? You asked meL "Why do you say that?" That's my answer. I go on to argue why, and provide evidence. I really don't see the relevance of tha...
I understand what you think that implies, yes. But it's complete nonsense. I'm not arguing that because we never achieve some ideal or some concept of...
Towards a fantasy, and one that always justifies eliminating Big Government "interference", always excepting the corporate masters, of course. I say i...
I'm laughing at this comment. I realize it's not meant to be funny, but I guess that's partly why it's funny. I worked with Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin...
An argument that has been given for decades. I say the contrary: shoot for the moon. Who's to say what's "radical" and what isn't? Any of these things...
Yeah, because those Republicans do such a great job on a state level. Everyone is dying to live in Alabama, Mississippi, and Kansas. Try to grow beyon...
Interesting you cite this article. He's actually arguing that while Bernie is like McGovern in many ways, the context is so very different as to make ...
Except there are stark differences, despite the similarities. Atlantic ran a good article about this. For those without access, here's a snippet: No c...
I agree with most to your post, but I wasn't being facetious: if you know how the process works, what evidence is there that suggests this is most lik...
You seem overly worried about homelessness. It's not an irrational concern, but in my view if you're fairly intelligent and resourceful enough, you ca...
Well good for you. :) A home in the sense of some kind of dwelling place, yes. Not necessarily a house. I'm sure your situation is shared by many Amer...
I think Warren has had a bit of bad luck in the sense of running alongside someone with similar ideology but also more experience and already existing...
True, and it's also important to remember that YOU are a part of that river. We all have far more influence than we think, in my view. The state of po...
What statistics? What metric are you referring to here? Yearly salary or something, or are you saying that 75% of Americans don't have a partner and s...
I certainly sympathize with this point of view. I too was very disappointed in 2016 -- I voted for Clinton as the least damaging candidate, although I...
Yes, and it'll be very hard to defeat Trump, win congress, get things passed, etc. But what's the alternative? Lay down and die? Passivity? Apathy? Th...
I really wouldn't worry about it. Like I said earlier, the DNC are indeed sleazy, but they're not completely blind. They don't like Sanders, but they'...
I think she looked rattled and weak. She appeared on the verge of tears almost. Her line about "Do you think I'm dumb, are you mocking me?" was kind o...
Just watch. It'll come down to Sanders and Bloomberg, but only because the latter has the money to waste. Too much talk about a brokered convention. I...
I think Biden has almost no chance at this point. It's going to end up being Bernie or Bloomberg, which is a disaster. But let's hope Bernie pulls awa...
