2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

I love Bernie but Scooby is right. Bernie screwed the pooch.

I think that article is a clickbait mis-characterization of what Bernie said, with some knee-jerk identity claptrap laid on top of it.
 
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

I would think a discussion on the 50th anniversary of MLK's death would revolve around MLK and lessons learned since then, not a critique on the one and only black President's political skills. Couldn't that have waited until the next day? Especially unfortunate since a person of Sanders age has lived to see almost the entirety of the modern day civil rights movement from Montgomery and Selma and Brown vs Topeka Board of Education and can give a personal perspective. For him King isn't just a figure from the history books like he is for many of us.

Anyone can play that game with anything. Do you realize how many rapes there were yesterday? At yet in that paragraph you haven't even addressed rape! Your misogyny is only exceeded by your tin-earned political incompetence. You are obviously through as a political force in this nation.
 
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

Sanders blamed Obama for the Democratic Party’s record number of legislative losses,
I mean he's not wrong. The fact that people are trying to imply that Bernie is racist because of this and doing their best Tucker impersonation is funny though.
 
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

The forces who don't want inequality and The Heist discussed are using this as a way to smear economic liberals. The same thing is going to happen to everyone who puts economics before race and gender. There are enough B students coming off the academic conveyor belt who have been indoctrinated this way for it to generate a lot of heat on lefty message boards.

But it's all a deflection to keep the Plutes away from the hot needle of financial and tax reform. Keep your eyes on the prize. Save the Middle Class, save the World.
 
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

Truth hurts. I learn. Rest of Democrats just muddle along.

Help! Scooby is so persecuted! :p

You're right about Bernie though - he's a joke, as a lot of us have been saying.

I think that article is a clickbait mis-characterization of what Bernie said, with some knee-jerk identity claptrap laid on top of it.

You would think that. :rolleyes:

He is correct to say that Obama smoothed over a lot of Dem failures.

Doesn't matter. It does matter that Sanders is damaging the cause.

Caiaphas: Do you believe in him?
Nicodemus: I do.
Caiaphas: Self-appointed saviors like your Jesus might stir the people up against the Romans.
Nicodemus: But he is a good man.
Caiaphas: You are a fool, Nicodemus. Good or bad, he is a threat.

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

Guy who passed major healthcare reform gets criticized for lack of legislative success by guy whose biggest accomplishment is getting a Ben and Jerry's flavor named after himself is a pretty hilarious story.

But in the face of so many bad men, why would a good man discredit another good or even better man?

What cause is he damaging?

Guy who compromised and negotiated against himself on healthcare and handled the bailout poorly rightly gets criticized for it as it lost the party a ton of seats in 2010.

The Democrats.

If you have ways to improve, tell us what we should do...rather than just criticizing those who should be your allies when the country is under siege by the right.
 
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

Well he has done that plenty of times. Obama is finished and pointing out some of his mistakes isn't really that big of a deal or going to cause harm in any way that I can see.

And yet as accomplishments go, it still puts him miles ahead of the guy who submits the same bill every year that no one is ever going to vote on.
 
Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers: Boogaloo

Liberals have the brains but moderates have the money. We need both to beat back the orcs.

I do love the entitlement of the wishy-washy center, though.

"STOP ATTACKING A COALITION MEMBER!!!!111!!"

"Um, aren't you attacking lib--"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! STAAAAAAHP!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As if the Clintons didn't spend the better part of the last 14 years sh-tting all over Obama. :p

But that was different because SQUIRREL!

That's among the top daily goals of Rush Limbaugh and every other right wing pundit trying to take down the Democratic party. That should be a red flag.
