I want to know what Steve Bannon said.

If you don't know what your enemies are up to how can you possibly defeat them? Do you think Lincoln didn't want to know what Jefferson Davis was up to? Yep, that's my analogy,

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I'll just briefly say this: With respect to one of his comments, he's got a point. The others I don't agree with.

He might be correct about the "effect" but I think he's wrong about the "cause."

And leave it at that!

Feb 2020
Steve Bannon forewarned Bill Maher that Bernie Sanders supporters will retaliate like “they did in 2016” if he doesn’t win the Democratic nomination for president by either sitting out the general election or re-electing Donald Trump.

On Friday night’s “Real Time,” Trump’s former White House chief strategist rebutted Maher’s criticism that the Democratic party loses elections because of the “flawed” electoral college in which “a senator in Wyoming represents 290,000 people and the senator (in California) represents 20 million.”

“This is what I love about you guys — you’ve got to whine about everything,” Bannon snapped back. “With this attitude… we’re going to keep winning.”

Bannon went on to say that Sanders has “been screwed by the Democratic party,” citing what many are calling a debacle of an Iowa caucus. “Bernie voters are (going to do) what they did in 2016… either don’t vote or come vote for Trump.”

Rather than stick heads in the sand, it'd be a better use of the time to counter the talking point for conversations with coworkers and crazy uncles. I happen to disagree with the talking point.

As are some here. Thanks for seeing through it. It is 3-dimensional chess. If people want to help their candidate, lauding their candidate works well and doesn’t divide the party. The non-stop candidate-slamming by some is toxic to the party, and the opposite of clever.

[link:https://www.newsweek.com/steve-bannon-says-bernie-sanders-has-been-screwed-democratic-party-ensures-trump-will-run-1486367|]

In the Newsweek link above, he's arguing that the Democratic Party is screwing Bernie Sanders. He is also arguing that if Bernie Sanders does not win, that his supporters will screw up the Democrats enough that Trump will win.

This is exactly the kind of nonsense that we can expect from a piece of crap like Steve Bannon. He's trying to divide Democrats and make them go after each other.

I will support Bernie if he wins. If not, I will support whoever does win. Steve Bannon can crawl right back under the rock he crawled out from.

But I have to admit as I was sitting there watching the segment it struck me how the mighty have fallen. Four years ago he helped elect a fascist game show host president. Played a big role in that. He had big aspirations for his fascist summer camp in Italy and that went up in flames. Now? As his God enters his re-election campaign Bannon is hosting...a podcast. I have to think it crushes him not to be with Dump daily and directly involved.

around, it was HRC to blame. This time around, it's the 'Democratic Party'. Oh no!

And the one about the Democratic Party is owned by Wall Street and corporate interests. A usual accusation (and Bannon should know better). He's full of BS as usual, and all he's doing is sprouting nonsense to pretend/show that's he is still relevant.

I am wondering why Bill M. gave Bannon a platform to mouth off on. As usual, Bannon is sprouting off nonsense w/ no actual facts to back them up:

+++Where have we heard this before? Bill snarked, "God forbid the corporate interests ever got their tentacles into the Republican Party, that would be a bad day."+++

And accusing us of whining...ha ha, I laugh, especially when the current occupant of the WH seems to gripe and moan every single hour...“This is what I love about you guys — you’ve got to whine about everything,” Bannon snapped back. “With this attitude… we’re going to keep winning.”
