Yes, I should have made that clear. I think the mean we'd regress to is two parties, in whatever fashion.
The American National Elections Study found that 77% of Bernie supporters voted for Hillary in 2016 and 79% of Hillary supporters voted for Obama in 2008. Statistically identical rates considering the 5% margin of error.
Thank you. I remember being very bitter about Hillary's pettiness and refusal to be a team player immediately following Obama clinching the nomination. Bernie's was worse, in my opinion.
Sorry man. I was repeating a stat posted by another poster here who i trust.
Not a Dem here, but I was of the understanding that Hillary was surprised to lose to Obama, but it seemed all on the up and up.
Biggest problem with the Dems is they are more concerned with the primary than the general election. Even though a lot of the GOP hated Trump, they were smart enough to get behind a winning ticket.
As a long time liberal Democrat, the bold is whiny Bernie-BS (I'm not saying you're whiny or BSing, just that the narrative is). Hillary got more votes and won the primary fair and square.
Look at how the DNC and mainstream/corporate dems on MSNBC are treating Bernie right now. I don't think it's that big of a stretch.
I don't think he commented on that recently. He did just have an interview where he spoke in a positive voice about some of Castro's policies (such as his literacy program).
They work, but they're occupied by Nazis and executing MSM members in prominent downtown areas from what I hear. Oh and they're all waiting in breadlines.
Why can't we do better than having to ration out milk to children? Are you serious?
That wasn't what he meant. I think you know that. I hope you know that.
They (Cuba) ration all basic food stocks, including milk. There's a rationing store right across from the church where I've stayed in the village of Los Palos. I've seen some residents selling extras, such as vegetables, on their front porch, but even then, the prices are set/controlled by the government. When driving along the highways, it's common to see farmers standing along the road hawking onions and such ...we see the farmers, lots of hitchhikers (they do tend to pick up their comrades), and the occasional ox-drawn cart.
Sanders lost bladder control?HellToupee said:

Vegas odds have Trump an underdog to Bloomberg and a favorite against Sanders, so yeah.
You can get better odds taking the field right now than you can taking Bernie straight up against Trump. I wonder if that has to do with Bernie’s age and health.
IMO it has to do with the mix including Bloomberg, who appears to be a solid 2nd right now. Boggles my mind that he has any support given his past statements and the virtue signaling so prevalent on the blue team.
I think a lot of mainstream Democrats are concerned about Bernie’s electability and it’s the topic of a lot of discussion on MSNBC. How is that unfair? As someone who will be happy supporting Bernie, I absolutely have worries about Bernie’s ability to net more votes than more moderate options like Warren, Kloubacher, and Pete. Don’t you?
We need to do a better job of educating our youth on the repercussions of socialism...this much is obvious.
You may want to start by actually understanding what it is and how that differs from what Sanders wants.
Bernie wouldn’t get any crazy polices through Congress: A little pendulum swing back from the crazy wealth that has settled in the top .1% is just fine, we’ll be ok.
Or a great sign for those of us interested in preserving our current form of capitalism.
I just wanna hear Bernie wax poetic more about Castro’s beautiful literacy program in Cuba.
So you’re calling for disbanding the US Military, ending Medicare and social security?
We have a ton of great socialism right here already. Why do you besmirch the police and military?
OK. I agree. So what does he get through? Is he going to back and sponsor a more moderate bill on healthcare with a public option and Medicare expansion/age lowering? Or do we kick the can down the road another 4 years and try again?
I'd take benign socialism over malignant authoritarinism - if I were a capitalist.
I can’t tell you how times I’ve said that around here. It’s also absolutely fascinating to me that the same people who laugh when others say Trump is authoritarian and turning America into a dictatorship are exactly the same people who say Bernie will turn America socialist. It’s mind boggling really.
But comparing Bernie's advocacy of Medicare for All and free college to Maduro's petro-dictatorship is sober, measured commentary
