Just like that? Wow. This guy folds so easily. Just like when the DNC rigged the 2016 primaries against him, he folded immediately and told everyone to vote for Hillary.

I am immensely disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.

Plot twist: Sanders undergoes gender reassigned surgery...

And runs as Biden's VP!?

EDIT: Biden stated he'll have a female VP.
This comment is hysterically funny. Where's the love??? :-/

I know you're kidding but i don't think establishment democrats want progressives anywhere near power. This is all happening because the establishment democrats MUCH, MUCH rather Trump get another 4 years than Bernie winning. I've yet to talk to someone who thinks Biden will win, lmao... what a fucking joke this is.

[–]magnora7[S] 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Exactly. The DNC's top choices are 1. Biden 2. Trump 3. Anyone else 4. Bernie.

So they can't do Biden even though they're forcing it as hard as possible, so it will be Trump. And the DNC is perfectly okay with that.

Which explains all this hyperbolic caterwauling about Trump, they're overcompensating to cover for the fact they actually prefer him over Bernie.

Establishment Democrats and the majority of Americans don't want Bernie Sanders or anyone like him leading their country.

The type of people that support someone like Sanders don't have a grip on reality — what America is and what Americans want.

The great majority of Americans don't want a fist-shaking crank bent on remaking the American way of life with socialist-leaning ideology.

people who disagree with me don't have a grip on reality

Majority of Americans don't have a strong opinion on the matter because the majority don't even vote. I agree with people who say that Trump and Sanders have a lot in common because they're both populists(they just appeal to different parts of the population). That also means they both clearly do have similar amounts of support in the country. So you can SAY Bernie doesn't have a lot of support from a lot of Americans, but that just shows who's the one without a grip on reality.

Free health care and free college polls at like 70% approval. The crowds Bernie drew in 2016 seem to back this up.

[–]DffrntDrmmr 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The primary process and opinion polls indicate establishment Democrats and the majority of Americans don't want Bernie Sanders leading the country.

Everybody likes free stuff until it's broken down into details that reveal how much 'free' really costs.

It became clearer after the debates that Sanders couldn't detail how his promises would be 'free'.

Too true.

What do you mean... California, the west coast, Illinois, and New York is overrun by progressives

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, i didn't say there weren't a lot of progressives in America's general population. I'm talking about the DNC, the mainstream media and the people who might be pulling the strings of the DNC and mainstream media. Look how hard the mainstream media tried to feed people the story of "the moderate vote is split up between buttigeig, klobuchar and biden... the moderates combined beat the progressives combined" even though the polls showed that people don't vote that way. So the MSM carefully laid the groundwork with that narrative and now it's DNC's turn to make their play. Boom, Klobuchar and Buttigieg out and everybody who the DNC can get their hands on coming out with an endorsement for Biden. Perfectly set up so that people wouldn't be able to question how suddenly Biden started performing DRASTICALLY better. Not only did the polls show that people don't vote that way, but also... it's Biden. It's scarier to me to think that the primaries weren't rigged and americans were actually stupid enough to vote for the senile pedophile with such high numbers.

When it comes to the mainstream media and democrats who actually have power there's a lot of fake progressivism and this whole ordeal helped put that on full display.

Sooo good!

The Sanders Biden debate was so weak.. I was expecting fireworks, but instead Sanders barely attacked Biden and didn't even come close to winning. Sanders just isn't into throwing the system under the bus...

[–]magnora7[S] 12 insightful - 3 fun12 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned, sanders just proved he's controlled opposition. He folded in 2016 and supported Hillary and didn't call out the DNC, and that was supposed to be so he would have a good chance in 2020. But then he folds over nothing in 2020.

So what the fuck. The guy has zero spine. Limited hangout for the DNC, to try and convince people it's not 100% rigged to hell for billionaires and corporations like it actually is

Sanders saw no need to continue his campaign for socialism — everybody's already locked up and the economy's already ruined.

Thanks to BOTH wings of the corporate party.

Corrupt sheepdog Bernie is a legit spoiler. Ruined it for all progressives - and democrats.

Progressives have Commiefornia you antifa brat

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

LOL, me antifa?

Without evidence all you've done is proven you don't know squat about me, are too lazy to do simple research, and are simply name-calling without a point. And clearly you don't know much about communism nor California.

Bernie Tests Negative For President

BURLINGTON, VT—From one of his many sprawling homes, Bernie Sanders announced today that he has tested negative for president.

"The test results came back, and thankfully, they were negative," Sanders said to his supporters. "There wasn't even a trace of presidential material in me. I have been cleared to return to my usual schtick of ranting about billionaires."

"Curse you, billionaihs!" he added.

Did anyone really have any hope in this guy after 2016? The real shot to the heart is Tulsi for me. Spineless witch pulling the same play Bernie did for Hilldog. I have no hope in this system I have a hard time even taking people serious when they are upset about their candidate, myself included. What are we all even waiting for...? The lies are out on the table in front of us all with the internet. America's Next Best Limited Hangout.

Gabbard is part of a hindu cult. Everyone thought she left the cult she was born into until one of the high ranking members was seen frequently at her campaign events. She also had a sketchy unrequested trip to Iran.

The USA is on the fast track to communism anyway.

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (15 children)

Certainly to authoritarianism, at least

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (14 children)

No, no. I do mean full-blown communism. And I'm an economist. I know this stuff.

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

Seems very unlikely but ok

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

Really. What do you think of the Fed and the Treasury department buying EVERYTHING? Textbook definition of communism.

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

It's also a hallmark of authoritarian capitalism. I think the real threat is authoritarianism, of which communism is just a subset

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

It's not capitalism when it's the government who owns the corporations.

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

But it is when the corporations own the government. Which is basically the case in the USA right now

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

uh nope.

They pay off most members of congress, the tax laws are written in their favor, most of the bailout money is going to corps. The evidence is there buddy.
