Re: Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.
so I have some concerns about Bernie's electability, but I think he's unstoppable at this point. The only question is does he secure a majority of the delegates.
So even though I have concerns, I think I am not leaning towards vote for him in the primary because I'd rather avoid a brokered convention. If some other consensus candidate emerged from a brokered convention it would be a sure fire way to get the Bernie Bros to stay home since it would feed into their "it's rigged!!" persecution complex.
Either way I think we're ****ed unless the coronavirus stock market panic lasts long enough for there to be economic uncertainty heading into the election.
You know how they say, "It's been a pleasure?" Well, It hasn't.
Any last words of wisdom?
Thank you; I really appreciate it.

He definitely knows what the rough cost of his proposals is. He just doesn't want to say it in public during the campaign because that will lead to inevitable questions about how much taxes will have to go up to pay for it all, which fuels the "HE'S GOING TO TURN US INTO VENEZUELA" hubbub the right is going to gin up.

There are more than 20 studies which show single payer is a net savings for Americans over the current system. Cost is a perception problem, not a real problem.
Now, we live in a country where a large percentage of the public doesn't believe in climate science, so the actual facts aren't going to matter. Sanders does need a way to answer those questions that do not make him appear to be fudging. He has a ready answer in the actual math but I can understand he is hesitant about turning this into another arena for the Republicans to blat their anti-intellectualism and the media to gleefully set it up as a tennis match.
I think that's the ultimate best way to deal with it, though. It will at least get all the Dems on board and shut down the opportunists like Carville.

Bloomberg has done heroic work on gun control, so give the man his due. If that's your main issue then there's no one with a stronger record. Its similar to Sanders with M4A. Until he started throwing his millions around the NRA had no organized opposition when they'd go after any legislator who opposed them on a gun bill. Even they can't compete with Bloomberg's money. Mind you that doesn't mean we owe him the nomination before someone freaks out.

God forbid people don't want their taxes going up! I mean if you can't at least acknowledge the flaws of universal healthcare what are we doing here? I like how things are for my family. If that makes me selfish or a bad person, so be it. But ask yourself this...do you honestly think all these politicians with great healthcare are going to back this? It won't happen. Everyone is on board with the moral aspect of this until they realize how it will impact them personally. Politicians will say whatever they need to say to get elected and it's clear that Bernie's message is hitting home with a lot of people. Doesn't mean that message will ever become reality...
