other excellent candidates?

Bernie has the same group he had in 2016, except for the ones he lost to Warren.

That doesn't mean that they have to bash him every chance they get which is what you just did.

According to the American National Election Studies, Clinton and Sanders supporters were 0.02 points apart on policy: "Clinton and Sanders supporters did not differ much in their views of government spending overall, spending on health insurance or child care, or raising the minimum wage -- as well as on an index combining these items. Large majorities supported these policies regardless of whether they supported Clinton or Sanders."

That's a myth.

where his views were incorporated along with hers into the platform.

This idea that Hillary was a "moderate" is just nuts. She, unlike Bill, wasn't representing Arkansas. She was a Senator from a strong blue state, New York, where her liberal views fit right in.

I know I"m preaching to the choir here . . .

If only people would take the time to get to know the real Hillary instead of believing in the fictional propaganda Hillary.

And support Warren this go round. Many of my friends are as left -- or more so -- than Sanders, and none have ever supported him. Not every "real leftist" likes or supports Sanders.

If I could vote in the country I live in, I'd vote for the communist party.

I don't understand. Something Republicans are doing?

people should stop doing that

Listen. LISTEN.

Are assessments of his political viability out of bounds now?

Views a multi millionaire with multiple homes including a part time lakefront vacation home, supported one of the largest failures of a military project in history, and says you can be worth as much as him if you just write a best selling book, as anything remotely close to a hippie?

Hippies took punches. Nothing here resembles anything even remotely close. Are you saying people criticizing Sanders are punching down? That’s one of the cheapest and most baseless shots I’ve seen taken at Sanders.

of BS wearing a tie-dyed oversized T-shirt, with an unkempt beard, yellow teeth, driving a VW Vanagon painted with house-paint and smoking ganja with gnarly eyes.

Are hippies a thing again?

We got expenses, communes have taxes, too. Kids are no longer babies and have to go to school. They get on wrestling and football teams. No longer living on someones couch means paying rent. Takes a job to do that. Then it becomes clear that collectives were just another way to get cheap labor and staying off the grid means no retirement. People who promise anything for free are probably selling snake oil. Yeah, we're still here

We're not all Bozos on this bus, though.
