Yeah, Trump's racist loving rhetoric is just a really good way to channel temporarily embarrassed leftists' anger at the ruling class. They just held their nose and will vote for Sanders instead, really, becausewhat they really hate is wealth inequality. If you think about it all those chants of build the wall and the 'If they don't want to be locked up in cages they shouldn't come here.' is just all misdirected anger at the 1%. These people are just happy they can finally take off the mask. E- Shameful snipe and I just want to say I'm not mad at people in the thread. I just wish for a world where the left doesn't have to try and cozy up to racist sexist and anti-lgbtq people to get bernie elected.

Same as a poster above you, this could be a big conspiracy / misdirect to make sure Warren gets in power, but I think it's more likely that she's really putting the fear of God into them. Which is why she gets points in my book. Mr. Merdle has issued a correction as of 10:02 on Nov 15, 2019 |

It's not a big conspiracy that the ruling classes know what their interests are and pursue them.

Yeah but going down that rabbit hole starts bending and twisting and snapping Occam's razor. if I start thinking like that then I eventually start wondering if anything is real at all, and that poo poo will just drive you nuts. It seems like a lot more work with less payoff to write a bunch of revers psychology op-eds than simply stuff dollar bills up Joe Biden's rear end in a top hat

AOC was talking in an interview about how she was split on backing Sanders and Warren and said that for the most part they're identical. Warren even co-signed a public housing bill with Sanders today. Everything that I hear about them is basically that they are two sides of the same coin and will be happy if either of them clinch the nomination

Warren is obviously too extreme, so as a compromise we should vote for Bernie who doesn't scare them.

elizabeth warren is not scaring anyone her mealy mouth answers to anything remotely resembling a challenging question and donation receipts from billionaire bankers and corporate ceos clearly identify her as in the pocket of the wealthy a la Obama.

The demographics are shifting against Republicans literally every day. 8 years of a Warren or -god forbid- a Biden do not garuntee a Republican president. This is the kind of thinking that got us Trump, a Conservative supreme court, and decimated federal programs with orwellian picks for leadership. gently caress, there are known records of hostile foreign powers trying to disenfranchise and split left leaning Americans and we still hear this garbage.

I'll vote Bernie in the primary, but if he loses I'ma do what any rational person, including loving Bernie, would do and vote for the Dem. I live in a swing state and I know several people who didn't last time.
