    I love this! :) Thank you. I hadn't seen it. I've been to the site. Twice. I just glanced at the issues section and left. He's really on point!

    If you dont think Sanders is effective then you should consider how a public option was too radical to include in Obamacare a few short years ago and is now a standard moderate policy position, thanks to Sanders' push for universal healthcare.

    When he starts from an "extreme" position he forces everyone to move slightly to the left to meet him. Obviously he's not going to pass his entire agenda but if he can just get universal healthcare, his education plan, and investments in renewable energy/sustainable infrastructure it will be major progress for this country

    lol after boxing him out for a year CNN is trying to convince Yang to re enter the race. I hope he doesn't. He doesn't have a realistic chance to win. I see that now. I'd rather he run for smaller office or get a cabinet appointment and re arm for the future

    "if"-- a small word that can be a Yuge sumbling block. I think the more likely scenario is that Sanders will scare a lot of moderates into voting for Trump--maybe enough that the Democrats will lose the House, as well. Then Nightmare on Elm Street!

    Then they'll have to suffer the consequences of a Trump presidency. So much for vote blue no matter who, eh? (Just practicing my Canadian for when the moderates fuck this up).

    Didnt you say you were considering a Trump vote if a certain unnamed person became the Democrat nominee?

    Oh! I remember you now. You're the one from down under who said Roger Stone would get 6 to 12 months, aren't you? Well, he got 40 months in prison and 24 months parole/probation.

    I wouldn't count her out just yet. Liz makes lots of good sense and people like her.

    To get a preview of what she would do to Trump, see what she did to Bloomberg last night.

    I have a question for you
    I dont know if you're still a Warren supporter but I know you were at one point.
    Why didnt you have these same concerns with her? Warren is pretty similar to Bernie as far as policy, and her plans are just as ambitious and costly.

    I was talking to someone who told me that was she wondering who Sanders, and his supporters, will blame if he loses.
    She said that she didn't think it would be Bernie, or his supporters.

    She has backed off on some of those plans, and when questioned, last night, she said she is a capitalist*.

    Like it wasnt Hillary and her supporters in 2016, yawn

    I'm not really interested in this interparty blame game to be honest

    But with that said if moderates do the whole vote blue no matter who thing only to vote for Trump if Sanders wins, they should be called out for their hypocrisy.

    In all fairness it's his responsibility to win moderates over now
