Could be wrong but I think this will hurt Bernie in Pennsylvania more than the Cuba stuff: Fracking ban predicted to lose Pennsylvania "roughly 609,000 jobs and $261 billion in [GDP] by 2025." Average PA consumer would see $4,654 increase in cost of living

Climate folks dont care. It's okay if a few thousand people die for the sake of climate change.

Who cares because Bernie will give them all free healthcare, disability insurance, education, life insurance, auto insurance, housing, and a living wage.

My business manages bank foreclosure assets in 14 states and PA is one that we cover. Maybe I should vote for Bernie as it seems he would be amazing for my business but then he would also tax me at 52%

Don't see how PA goes blue when Sanders is openly saying he will kill your states economy and jobs but you can have free healthcare

When you come to the realization that the purpose of the current environmental movement is to end capitalism, then this all makes sense.

Nah, you have to be super smart to code. They should learn to farm because any moron can do that.

His supporters don't really care because they are probably not working in that field or any field related to it...

These are the same folks that think the grocery store produces the food that they buy...

Exactly this. Hypocrisies can be found throughout the enviro movement. Trying to point them out and apply logic to the thought is futile.

It's not hypocrisy.

If you look at the manifesto of any of these movements it always includes shite like "economic justice", "social justice", and some form of ending racism and bigotry.

Also, under The Bern, wages are expected to decrease by about 10%.

Is this what the average Bernie supporter in America looks like?

It is crazy. Even with the lower nat gas prices right now, the industry in the Marceleus and Utica is a major asset to PA, WV and OH. If Bern is the nominee, PA will be solidly red I would imagine.

This has been the case since former members of the American Communist Party became members of the Sierra Club.

If Trump locks down PA OH FL without campaigning we’re in pretty good shape

All you have to do is look at how Hillary’s comments crushed her in OH and WV to see how this will play in PA and OH for Bernie.
