I love watching the democrats destroy themselves from within. Bernie and Obama are nearly aligned on their views. The difference is, Bernie says them out loud and Obama tries to sneak the shite past the American people.

Unless of course that since becoming rich Obama is now a capitalist.

well to be fair i thing tulsi gabbard had a good chance at getting most of the "normal" democrats to vote for her

she would still lose, but i think she could match or even beat hillarys vote totals which is close enough to be a concern the way dimms cheat and steal elections with vote fraud

Why would he say that?? They are both communists so you would think they would support each other.
Weird.

while i think the DNC is dirty AF, i kinda don't blame them for trying to exclude Bernie


They dont have to let him on the democrat ballot since he is registered as independent. They want his votes and money raised

They think Bernie will be a disaster for the Dems a la McGovern or Mondale.

Problem is that pretty much all their candidates are about as bad. Biden appeals to the most groups but is corrupt and insane.

The alternative of Bernie as the Dem candidate and someone like Bloomberg as a third party would work as well.

They are between a rock and a hard place. They know Bernie is too far left to be a serious contender for the WH, so if he wins the nomination Trump is basically guaranteed.

However, if they step in and trash Bernie (and it's already started), they risk alienating a decent chunk of democratic voters who (based on the fact they are team Bernie) are crazy and will write him in out of spite, abstain, and a small percentage even vote for DJT.


They are terrified that he will win, partially because they think he is a true believer (which was proven wrong when he allowed himself to be bought off in 2016) and because his followers are true believers. The more power his supporters get both within the DNC and more broadly in the political conversation, the more it marginalizes Democrats in "moderate" races.

Mostly, it's because, like Trump, he is a complete wildcard on foreign policy and crony capitalism and isn't beholden to the DNC for funding or public attention.

They will do everything possible to get Warren back into this race, knowing that they can line their ducks up in a row while she's in the White House.

Obama could have ended all of this by endorsing Biden, but his ego got in the way. He knows deep down Biden is a quantifiable idiot and he's done everything possible to sabotage his own front runner status.

In the 2016 election campaigning Obama barely got 500 people to show up. Biden 300. Obama had to speak at Chicago Univ. where students were forced to watch the teleprompter.



So a statement on twitter of a statement is hilarious.

The DNC is broke but the Obama's and Clinton's 'foundations' will kick Bernie 2 lake houses, 3 beach homes and 3 sports cars and one sports car for his wife.

Obama announcing this is trying to save some money. Also Obama denouncing Stalin communism as if he is offended.

He switched parties from Indy to Dem in 2015-16, switched back indy, then went back to Dem in 2019.

So technically he is currently registered as a Democrat.

Him doing that really effs the Dems though because if they deny him a spot, they lose millions of votes for not keeping up with the farce.

Disagree. They know he has zero chance against Trump. I'm amazed that he hasn't tanked in the polls already due to the Veritas expose. So far they've been able to keep it under wraps somewhat, but if it ever came to a general election Trump would run those videos down people's throats until people were ready to hang Sanders.

He has no chance. Biden has no chance either.

Warren is their best shot probably and she's a complete disaster too. Plus, Obama and Warren have that Consumer Financial Protection Bureau thing too going before the Supreme Court. Look for Obama to endorse Warren.

It's all about trying to stop Trump with these people.

Please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please,
Please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please,

PLEASE

.....let this happen!!!


The best thing that could ever happen for President Trump would be that the Bernie Bros. would leave the Democrat Party convention MAD AS HELL!!! It would be like manna raining down from Heaven!



PS - What a complete hypocrite Barack Hussein Obama is, though. How can he say, on the one hand, that Bernie Sanders views and policies are too extreme, and yet simultaneously say he would support somebody like Elizabeth Warren?

Slick move. Piss off the Bernie Bros.

They'll all descend upon The Vineyard and throw their Starbucks cups at him.
