"bernie bros" and tell us she can't support the lesser of 2 evils?

She’s one of the best and brightest we have.

She never had one before, like most people in NYC.
She graduated cum laude from BU. She’s quite intelligent. Take your RW smears elsewhere.

AOC's endorsement would have had much more effect if done once the field is reduced to five or so candidates and certainly if done a few weeks before Iowa.

Not a smart move. I wonder if besides helping Bernie, AOC wanted to make some front page news for herself and the Squad given that media coverage has declined significantly.

His age and health needs to be topic a for every candidate running for office. I appreciate Sanders and what he wants to do for this country but realistically he is not fit. I make no apologies for this opinion

Do folks know our country? We are a Center/Left country. The operative word is "center". I hope we don't blow this nomination.

Our center has moved so far right due to the elimination of the Fairness Doctrine. Overton window etc.

But he is running for President of the United States. And he is polling at 8% or so in the Primaries. This should tell you where the center is among Democrats. And there is still such thing as General Elections.

Combined, they are a big chunk of the electorate.

Since when is a life-long Democrat similar to an on-and-off Democrat? Since when is a pragmatic intellectual similar to a pie in the sky revolutionary?

They may have some similarities in policies, but not in their fundamental views. And guess what: it is reflected in their polling.

On edit: by the same logic Bernie and Trump make up a big chink of the electorate

All one has to do is look at center/right policies in other countries to see how far we’ve shifted from the left.

But don't tell me you don't know the fundamental differences between democratic socialism and capitalism.

To make it short, the fundamental difference between Sanders and Warren is this: Sanders wants to abolish existing institutions, Warren wants to reform them. The difference is reflected in their policies, time and again.

You can't put them in the same camp. Biden and Warren are a closer match than Sanders and Warren.

Warren hasn’t specifically stated that she was targeting the Nordic model, but her policies are aligned with that.

Bernie and Warren get along well.

It has changed significantly since then, away from Bernie's model. And Warren is not aligned with it at all. Again, Democratic Socialism vs reforming capitalism. Big difference.

Bernie is a nice guy, as far as I know, and I think we would get along too. This doesn't mean I agree with him on politics, ideology, or his methods in pursuit of either.

And we must convince less liberal voters (who outnumber the liberal ones) to vote for the Democratic candidate.

Polls have found that Democrats are most interested in electability.

The majority of the Democratic party is center/right.

Our country’s Overton window is shifted to the right of the rest of the world.

Does that mean that some of her previous decisions have been less than authentic?

It's like telling someone "you look great today." Does that mean he/she usually looks terrible?

Other endorsements could be “I like most of this candidate’s positions, but a couple i don’t. That said, this is the best candidate for this race.”

It was in response to a question of why endorse so early.

Thanks for the thread Donkees.

"...the Senator has been there fighting for me, long before I got to the halls of Congress, fighting for people like me..."

...this is what it's all about...this is what we need...we need our fighter in the White House...we need Bernie as our next President...

...now is no time to slack off...let's get down to work and win this primary then win the general...we can do it, I can feel it in my bones...

...think how proud you'll feel on Bernie's inauguration day and how confident and secure we'll be; our nation reborn, with Bernie at the helm...

...nothing can stop us, nothing...FDR said it best, "The only thing have to fear, is fear itself."

...DO IT...
