Democratic Socialism is utter bullsh*t. It is not a thing.

It's like Bernie telling people "it's ok - it's just cancer LITE."

Seriously, are you that dumb? A guy that touts Cuban and Russian "Socialist" policies and then to make everyone in the US feel better he throws the word "Democratic" in front of it and hopes that the idiots will fall for the repackaging. I guess he found at least one.

Step away from the GOP talking points dude. 03-yawn

He's not a "Socialist" because he does not advocate the US government take over the means of the production...you know...Socialism. And spare me...we have several Socialist policies in America currently and they work just fine when combined with Capitalism policies.

Just dropping that for your intellectually dishonest self.

So, the plan is for the remaining 75% of the vote to divide perfectly among the rest of the candidates so they all fall below 15%?

You know that isn't going to happen, right?

Oh of course it's not going to happen everywhere, but here's what will happen. Bernie is gonna cross that 15% threshold in every single state because he has the national name recognition, money, and ground game to do it. Then you've got 4 candidates in Rate Pete, Klob, Slow Joe (unless he drops) and adding in the Little Oligarch battling for the same slice of voters. None of them are taking anyone from the Bernie base, and even if you believe Bernie isn't gaining momentum (which you'd have to be just ignorantly ignoring national polls to believe) you've got 4 candidates trying to split up whatever % of the vote is left that can be moved. There will be some states none of them hit 15%, and some that only 1 or 2 of them reach it but it almost certainly won't be the same 1 or 2 in every state. So Bernie will just rack up delegates across the board while you end up with each of those 4 probably getting a pretty similar but small amount of delegates. This is a disaster scenario to find a way to actually have someone legitimately "win" over Bernie. There maybe still would be time to do it if literally today everyone but 1 centrist candidate dropped out, but that will not happen no one is dropping before Nevada and the only person I could see finally giving in after that is Warren. There is no realistic scenario anyone but Bernie can hit the number to win, so it's either going to be Bernie as the nominee or they have to commit party seppuku to stop it. That's why Carville is losing his damn mind, because while he clearly is completely out of touch with what people want (since he endorsed I think UVA's Coach Bennett) he can see there's no way to stop this disaster for the establishment scum like him. These bloodsuckers are screwed and they deserve it.

Just like IA and NH, at least 3 will be viable in every state, 2 of which aren't sanders. He "loses" every state in such a situation, because the goal is to just keep him below 50% by the end.

After every state, he's going to get further and further from 50%. After Super Tuesday, he's going to need like 60+% of the remaining delegates, and the other 2-3 that remain viable aren't going to go anywhere, because they know not only will they control a majority of pledged delegates at the convention, but also 100% of the super-delegates.

Carville is upset because he knows the party is in a lose-lose situation. Either, sanders is the nominee, where 75% of previously guaranteed votes are now at risk, and it's a down-ballot catastrophe, or they have to steal it from him, and 25% of the party will stay at home/cast protest votes.

Doesn't need a speech, look at his "plans". Somewhere north of 75 TRILLION, where is that gonna come from? Same place it was supposed to in that utopia the Bern was so hot on in Vz. Half the US population working for benevolent Gubment in one capacity or another, hence nationalization of the private sector.

yup, let's go with breadline Bernie, good plan. It's a good thing, shows the people have real wealth... 07-coffee3

So for all this rambling you've been doing over and over again you essentially just came to the same conclusion I made at the end of my post? That we've now reached the point where either Bernie is going to be the nominee or they have to steal it from him and destroy the party. That Bernie is the only one who has any shot of hitting the number needed to win. Our only disagreement (well aside from everything politically) is essentially the odds we believe that Bernie can hit the number. I am of the belief he's got a roughly 50/50 shot of getting there and you I think believe he's got almost no chance of hitting the number.

"Do they think I’m afraid of the word? I’m not afraid of the word," he said in an interview with The Nation published in July. "When I ran for the Senate the first time, I ran against the wealthiest guy in the state of Vermont. He spent a lot on advertising — very ugly stuff. He kept attacking me as a liberal. He didn’t use the word ‘socialist’ at all, because everybody in the state knows that I am that." - BERNIE SANDERS

The words are sort of interchangeable according to actual democrat socialists. Regardless, his policy proposals are not full-blown Socialist policies, but rather include capitalism as well.

We'd do much better in this country if we judged policies on their effectiveness rather than their perceived label.

RE: Dems FREAK OUT after Communist Lunatic Bernie Sanders Takes Over Party


If we already have socialism under Trump and it's working so well, why do we need Bernie?

And:





No walls
Free medical, food, housing, welfare and social programs for illegals

But Americans can pay higher taxes and die in the ditches of the roads they built; while they watch illegals eat the food that they produced

Am I missing anything?
