"If Trump is the emergency you say he is..."
“If Trump is the emergency you say he is—and the Democrats put forward Bernie Sanders—and you tell me you can’t vote for him?
Then that leads me to believe Trump isn’t the emergency you say he is.”

Never Bernie is hypocrite, but that's exactly what an important part of his supporters did last election (some of them even voted for Trump)

R2 12-15%. It's common, though, because 25% of Hillary's supporters voted for McCain over Obama. And before you screech, "It's not the fucking same [expletive]," Hillary was considered as much the front-runner as Obama was, so it is the fucking same.
If we're going to weaponize supporters against their candidates of choice, let's really go there.

R3. It’s not the same because Obama won in spite of it. If Hillary had won, it wouldn’t be an issue either.
You want the front runner to be Sanders. How does he plan on dealing with down ticket races when his message is that Democrats are just as bad as Republicans? How can he sincerely address the current threat Trump and the Republicans are to our democracy when many of the primary people working for him voted third party because they thought Hillary was a worse choice than Trump?
You think longtime democrats should be lectured to by Jill Stein supporters?

Hint: Bloomberg was a Republican in 2018.

Was his message "Democrats are as bad as Republicans" when he was busting his ass campaigning for Hillary Clinton at 39-- count 'em, 39!-- rallies in 2016? Give me a break!

His logic is flawed. Getting the Democratic nomination doesn’t mean Bernie isn’t as dangerous as Trump, nor does it mean that Trump isn’t as bad as we say he his.
The idea that they are both demagogues who use people for political purposes is completely logical and the fact that the panelist at OP ignores that in order to score a rhetorical point tells me all I need to know about him.

Because even Dump let’s it slip on occasion that Bernie is a real threat to him. Dump is just hoping for or depending on (or both) the establishment blocking Bernie and giving him Bloomberg to chew on.
[quote] "Frankly, I'd rather run against Bloomberg than Bernie Sanders," the president told reporters at the White House. "Because Sanders has real followers, whether you like him or not, whether you agree with him or not. I happen to think it's terrible what he says. But he has followers. Bloomberg's just buying his way in."

This election is going to come down to a few thousand votes again in crucial swing states, just like it did in 2016. Don't believe any pundit or pollster who tells you differently. That means we need a candidate who can get Democrats to the polls. I'm thinking that that person is Bernie Sanders.
Biden still does the best in head-to-head matchups against Trump, but voters aren't excited about him, which means low turnout.
Bloomberg has the money to spend and would have a massive turnout operation to rival Obama's, but we would lose a significant portion of Sanders voters and the far left.

Bernie crushes both of these petulant, narcissistic oligarchs.

So per OP, Never Bernie is bad, but Never Bloomberg is just fine - per the other thread OP started stating that he won't vote for Bloomberg if he gets the nom.
Pick your candidate, vote for them in the Primary. If they don't get the nom, vote for the one who does. Trump is worse than all of them.
OP is a hypocrite, and the one running around DL calling referring to Bernie as Daddy.

Thank you r33. The host should have turned it around on the guy regarding a Bloomberg nomination.
r34 Bloomberg ran a basically clean house as mayor of New York. I don't have to break laws like Trump to get his way, he can simply offer campaign donations to move the needle on his objectives. That is a very distinct difference between the two. Bloomberg acts within the confines of the law, at the time (cough Stop and Frisk) while Trump shits all over our laws and Constitution. And right now Bloomberg is helping Democrats craft an anti-Trump message nation wide, when has Trump every helped Democrats?

Yes, every single fucking person running as a Dem (ugh Tulsi) is better than what we have. FAR better than what we have and I will not listen to trolls (I see you BORIS) saying anybody is as bad or worse than the fucking nightmare we have in the WH now. FUCK YOU!
What I do not like are the Never Ts trying to tell us Dems how we should stop with the progressive policies and go more moderate. Don't tell us what to do or try to badger us into adopting moderate policies. Every Dem running, including Bloomberg, is pretty progressive. Warren is very liberal and Bernie is pretty far left liberal. 90% of the Dems running have reasonable progressive policies.
I do not like Bernie and I am not sold on Bloomberg BUT I will vote for them enthusiastically over this dumbass nitwit in the WH now.

r37 I think people are past the point of trying to convince others to support moderate or progressive candidates in the general. The primary discussion on DL and across the Left is about the General Election. I don't know where this protest vote mindset came from, but it needs to stop. You are either for Trump or you're against him. There is no gray area this time around.

Pretty big request there, R44. The Democrats seem hell bent on mass political suicide this year. Meanwhile Trump is well rested, well funded and licking his chops over whatever potential victim the Democrats serve his way, that is if they can stop their infighting long enough to actually nominate some poor sap.

You know, the reason people don't get it, and so many of them don't see the dangers of Trump, is because right now their personal lives are not affected by him. ost people try to be as invisible as possible, living in their own little world with their own circle of family friends, job, and community. They rarely venture beyond that world. They'll do the 7 nites 8 days in London & Paris and think they're worldly.
