progressive programs. So what are they hearing???
Going to come into your house and take your guns.
Medicare for all is to expensive even tho thousands are dying earlier and suffering more.
A candidate proposing left programs that will help you cant get elected because the rest of the people dont care that you will die because you cant afford medicine or treatment.
The leading candidate doesnt care that you are making the same as you did 50 years ago or that you cant scrape up $400 because he is not going to rock the boat with any equalizing laws.
Better start talking to the other half or theyll become deplorable.

(2,061 posts)All because Sanders is going backwards. Sanders has some good ideas. There are simply much better options than him and he is running an extremely poor campaign. These aggressive attacks full of half-truths are a part of his failing. Sorry to see people doubling down.

(761 posts)are exactly what will give the election to Trump. He is going to come out full speed ahead promising Health Care for all and not denying anybody that can't pay. He is going to once again promise Lots of good paying jobs. He'll promise that nobody is going to forcibly confiscate guns. He is going to promise that a vote for a Democratic is a vote for socialism. Middle of the road incrementalism is going to hand the election to Trump. The working poor are suffering and dying because they can't afford medical and medicine. Easing into ACA improvements means letting some people suffer more and die earlier. Biden is running to the right of Hillary and the laughing stock of the world beat that program because he addressed the working poor. Warren is not falling behind and I respect her candidacy as much as I do Sanders. 50 plus years of stagnated working people wages while a series of laws like permitting things like 300% usury interest rates are an abomination. I am not attacking anything, I am sounding an alarm.
Don't forget that Trump was perceived as the biggest unelectable losing candidate when he declared in 2015. Gonna make that mistake again. Hopefully he will be in jail and can't be elected but in the mean time a meaningful campaign must be run against him in case he is still in office. He is already on record promising Healthcare for all and nobody denied because they can't pay.
