  1. I see that account and the fucking Horse Guy in almost every big positive Bernie tweet. Bernie winning is going to melt their brains because of how long they've been pushing the #VoteBlueNoMatterWho crap assuming Bernie didn't have a shot.
  2. You're severely underestimating Bernie's campaign if they think that simply saying "M4A is wonderful" is going to flip skeptics. Half the damn rallies I've watched he's had people speak about their medical debt or trouble dealing with health insurance and there is no shortage of people willing to speak up at all. There's no doubt in my mind he's cut into lots of middle-aged Iowans' fears over what they'd do if they had a medical emergency because so many of the people I've seen weren't the young hispter millennials that the media acts as if are the only ones who support him.
  3. I don't just want to shit on your regular everyday Americans that are probably much more worried about bills and debts than I am, but what kind of paint-huffing person are you to be deciding between Trump and Warren on the basis of who is more serious? Even in this election do we have an enormous very disengaged population.
  4. Yeah I've heard multiple Bloomberg ads on the radio here in Georgia. It's clear so much of his polling is due to ad space in states where people aren't even thinking about their primary yet.
  5. My first guess is that they probably have too many volunteers. It's clear Bernie, by a big margin, had the most volunteers in NH and Iowa.
  6. God damn, do you actually have a degree from the University of Texas or any accredited institution of higher education?
  7. Agreed to an extent, but their plans on how they're funded and how it would be theoretically be implemented are different. Warren didn't have to come out with a multi-step process even if that was her idea all along, there's no point in starting negotiations months before Iowa. She also has lots of people backing her who probably didn't care for M4A and why she bled some support to Pete and Klobuchar.
  8. A always B be C committing voting fraud
  9. How much voter fraud are you willing to commit?
  10. Lol, very odd back-handed compliment.
  11. I don't think he'll win South Carolina, but you're foolish to think they aren't trying as hard as possible to drum up support.
  12. @bad_teammate Not sure if you'll catch this, but if you aren't familiar with Phillip Agnew he's a surrogate who has been in a few Bernie videos, most notably one where he talked to a bunch of PoC in Miami (or maybe South Florida in general) and he helped moderate it. Nina Turner is awesome, but it's so clear he's going to be going on to bigger things.
  13. Huh, God damn Bernie quit being a transphobe.
  14. I'm going to be shocked if this doesn't happen soon. I think it was Morning Edition on NPR, but multiple lawyers and judges were interviewed about this very question and there's even confusion if you can discharge student debt via bankruptcy now and that this notion of "all student debt is frozen from bankruptcy" has caused lots of people to not even try.
  15. This so much better, I really can't see this making a bunch of people not vote for Bernie now in the primary whereas he knows it may give him the nomination and possible presidency reaching a bunch of chuds unfortunately.
  16. A lot of cis and trans women of all races have been more vocal about it being offensive this year. Those three people I follow would probably be more offended about being called Bernie-Bros as opposed to the Sanders' campaign highlighting Rogan's support.
  17. Clymer hates Bernie and always has. Oh look I found trans people who are saying differently, huh All three of those are people who I've followed well before this. Like B_T said, I'd rather hear from the few trans people we have on this board.
  18. I mean I have actual trans friends who are okay with this, they aren't maybe happy but they understand it's an election. I do eagerly await for you to blame the bros again for helping re-elect Trump if Bernie gets the nomination. For as much as you want to talk about Rogan being a bigot, it'd help your case if you'd drop the Bernie-Bros insult.
  19. I forget how long ago, but Cohn posted about one of the recent Iowa polls where Bernie was up by 3 or 4 points and noted that it included people who either caucused as Republican in 2016 or didn't caucus at all and that Bernie may be getting underestimated in other polls. Going to be funny to see if this pushes him over the edge in Iowa.
  20. Biden's team doesn't seem fun,
  21. Are we also just ignoring that basically every candidate, according to Rogan, wanted to get on his show to gain more support?
  22. You may have changed in the past few years, but you absolutely gave off a very libertarian-esque vibe not long ago with respect to massively changing our institutions. That may not be fair, but I'll leave it at that.
  23. I agree with the first part of your post. For this though, I don't think anyone here who isn't afraid of large scale student debt forgiveness would say that that's the only thing that needs to happen. Most of us are for massive, it not outright completely, subsidizing the cost of public college education. I'm sure you'll give me a diatribe how that is stupid and would wreck the economy, but a few regulations that can get peeled back later don't give me much hope.
  24. It's possible parents, who grew up when college was a hell of a lot more affordable or perhaps didn't go to college at all, may not be the most responsible either. At any rate bandaid fixes aren't going to stem the tide unless we start pushing for drastic change.
  25. God damn, have you like maybe paid attention at all to the insane cost of tuition and living in this country in the past 10-20 years? It's not an option if you want to earn enough to afford to purchase any kind of permanent decent (i.e. not in need of serious repair) housing without having to live way in the suburbs or exurbs. I'm sure your next reply will be "go to a trade school! the world needs skilled trade workers!" in which case, sure, yeah, I'll be down with that when we completely rollback the past 30-40 years of deregulation and active harm done to unions in this country. When we let these skilled workers actually have 50% representation on a company's board, when we federally mandate PAID FMLA/maternity/paternity leave, when we do so so much to protect these peoples' jobs so that they can try to earn a living without taking on massive debt in the hopes that they will get paid a higher salary.
