What's your alternative?

The world desperately needs to unite against our common enemy; global warming climate change instead of focussing on stupid ass, petty arguments or all our children are doomed, do you want that?

....trying to divide us?

....Briahna Gray, Nina Turner, and David Sirota all staffers at the very TOP of the campaign, on twitter, to see how that campaign is trying to divide us.

We don't see an all-out attack from any other campaign on other Democrats like we see from them.

It's all there on twitter, I won't post them here. Give it a look.

Do we want to beat Trump in 2020?

Please don't try to change the subject. Thanks.

any political party is above criticism.

The Republicans and Borg strongly believe in that approach.

...you wouldn't drive this discussion totally off track with irrelevant questions.

Thanks.

with you what Bernie does or says, you will find a way to criticize him.

but BS is not the person to do so, Biden is our best hope to demolish this madman in the WH.

Bernie would kick his ass and he knows it.

Ok, you just keep believing that, but when Joe Biden becomes our nominee, then I do hope you'll vote for him.

attacks Biden's son during the Democratic Primaries knowing it would create a partisan counter-reaction instead of waiting until the G.E. to lower any perceived boom; when politically speaking it would be most effective.

That's also why Trump throws his bullshit out about the impeachment trial being a conspiracy against Bernie during the Democratic Primaries to turn the party against him.

It's amazing to me how many people are willing to give up their power of critical thinking to knee jerk reactions against Trump' pronouncements.

If he'd prefer to run against Biden, why did he do that and threaten his presidency?

That other stuff about the impeachment is his attempt to get the Sanders supporters riled up and attack the impeachment itself, not to push Sanders as the candidate. Don't forget, it's also a "conspiracy" against Warren, Bennett, and Klobuchar.

If you look at all the stuff trump has thrown out, 90% of it has been against Biden.

in control of a Republican dominated Senate!?

Now lightening may strike, McConnell may actually hold a fair hearing while enough Republicans might vote to convict him and you, I, or anyone else here might also win the Powerball lottery tomorrow but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Having said that, it's a matter of what Trump believes and I have no doubt he believes the Senate will acquit him and this will only fire up his base as being the "victim" in a wrongful impeachment.

I believe most any incumbent President knows that attacking an opposing candidate during their primary will most certainly create sympathy and a partisan counter-reaction, thus it becomes easy to pick your own eventual preferred opponent.

general election, and conned and deceived enough people with those lies

Worse, when you have people like Briahna Joy Gray, who not only voted for Jill Stein in 2016, is proud of doing it, and would do it again, and continues to bash Hillary

There is only one campaign who embraces people like that, and that speaks volumes about that campaign

There is no way around it. It would be the biggest electoral loss for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1984, possibly since 1972.You'll be lucky to get a third of the vote for Sanders with that crap hanging over his head.

Where did 15 of the nineteen hijackers from 9/11 come from, Iran?

Did Iran kill and dismember the body of Jamal Khashoggi?

Where does ISIS primarily come from, Iran?

Khashoggi was not an American citizen. That will not hit to the core of American being the way backing Iran during the Iran Hostage crisis will. We are talking about national electoral politics here, not lofty political philosophy.

I literally had to throw up after reading the story about Sanders, it hit me that bad. I had no idea the man was that un-American. The Iran Hostage crisis defines much of what it means to be American to me. It's why I joined the army at age 17.

When you strike at the core of America as a candidate for the presidency, you lose. Sanders is a guaranteed loss for us with this story.

UnAmerican is supporting coups against democratically elected leaders just because our mega-corporations don't support their policies.

UnAmerican is supporting autocratic regimes that fight against our nation's highest ideals while simultaneously poisoning our planet making life increasingly uninhabitable for our children and grandchildren.

This is national general election politics. Not a single thing you typed will sway the average American voter.

I need say no more.

time is not static.

The world is changing Zolorp.

White men didn't have the right to vote until 1824, 35 years after George Washington was President, African American men didn't have the right to vote until 1870, women didn't had the right to vote until 1920.

Please say more.

A man who sided with the Soviet Union and Iran during the hostage crisis stands precisely zero chance of winning a national general election in the United States. That is simple reality.

election (one that was held against the will of the people) a "coup."

Sander is not qualified to lead the United States of America.

is dictatorship.

Morales was illegitimate. Scary that you deny that, frankly.

The Bolivian people said no to a 4th term. And the 3rd was unconstitutional.

and the Iranian hostage takers?

There is "evidence" all right (mountains of it) and little of it looks good.

We fought the world's "greatest" war against Germany and Japan and now they're among our closest allies.

Bernie would the strongest positioned potential President to finally establish normal relations and some form of rapprochement with Iran.

Rigging elections via institutional abuses of power is a hallmark of a dictator. Morales fits the bill. Completely.

We fought the fascists over the objections of the socialist far-left (who united in opposition to America entry in WWII with the far-right under the banner of America First) while they attacked Roosevelt as a capitalist war-monger.

Isolationism was wrong then. And it is wrong now.

Bad legacy. Surprised you brought it up, frankly.

Would you have approved of some foreign power supporting a military coup here?

It's up to each nation to govern and deliberate its' democratic processes and military coups have never been the answer in Iran, Bolivia, Honduras or anywhere else.

Bernie believes that the U.S. should be engaged with all nations of the world to fight our common greatest enemy; global warming climate change.

Every nation; just as a matter of moral conscience should care about it's children, grandchildren and future generations.

If we maintain your shortsighted vision of fiddling while Rome burns, there will be no winners.

is he following his lead?

follow Bernie's lead because he knew the American People wanted change.

just not the change BS is advocating for.

Whether you want to believe it or not, America is a center left nation, whereas, BS is a far left socialist who is not in tune with the majority of the American voters, that's a plain and simple fact.

BS isn't even a Dem, he's just using the Dem party to further his ambitions.

You may find out Trump is a true populist and has more in common with Bernie than you might like.

They are equally contemptuous of government structures and traditional institutions of the American representative democracy, and openly advocate populist-centered extra-judicious power moves to bend both to their liking.

appreciable populist movement to begin with if the American People were satisfied with their representation from at least one of the two major parties.

A hundred million Americans didn't even have enough faith to vote in 2016, that didn't happen in a vacuum.

A couple of posts back, I recall someone state: "because he knew the American People wanted change." But I don't recall who the poster was referring to, Sanders or Trump? And then, this same someone said "there would be no appreciable populist movement to begin with if the American People were satisfied with their representation from at least one of the two major parties"

Both statements apply equally to Trump and Sanders. The difference is, there are more dissatisfied voters who lined up behind Trump than there were voters behind Sanders. If you ask Trump supporters, they will tell you, matching your own righteousness and partiality, that Trump is a real deal and Bernie is a fraud.

There are many examples of populist leaders taking over governments, both on the right and on the left. Predictably, the thing they all have in common is they didn't end well. Especially not for the populist movements that brought them to power.

Populism is the antithesis of liberalism.

BS needs to be careful with his great pronouncements

the same with this yet the only one I saw with Arabic was trump's and I bet that's true for a lot of people. And if BS said this before or posted such before this week, it has gone unnoticed and the conclusion that may be made that he is following trump.

the American Arabic vote to Trump?

but there is timing and there is timing and none of them wants to look like a trump copycat

In fact, one might argue that they are almost mutually inclusive.

Democrats have not treated Palestinians as "untouchables." Sanders is NOT the "first" to recognize the legitimate national aspirations of the Palestinian people. This is anti-Democratic agitprop of the very worst kind.

His is one of the first campaigns to scare the heck out of those who also support the legitimate national aspirations of the Israeli people by allying himself with people like Linda Sarsour, who makes her strident anti-Zionism seem like a cover for anti-Semitism.

There is a huge problem with bigotry on the far-left.

As liberal Democrats we need to see the big picture and not demonize one side or the other in a complex situation.

being treated as equals will garner opposition from Netanyahu's conservative, racist government along with mindless evangelicals in the U.S that are yearning for the end days and it makes no difference whether said candidate simultaneously strongly supports Israel's right to exist in peace as Bernie does.

Democrats have not treated Palestinians as "untouchables." This is agitprop.
