This is a shockingly difficult attitude for a lot of people to accept. I still have trouble arguing with my friends that yeah, student loan forgiveness is a good thing even though it won't help them. I paid my student loans off too. I still don't want other people to deal with that just for a loving education.

I have a pet theory: One should never vote for the candidate/issue that helps them the most, instead one should always vote for the candidate/issue that helps others the most. (of course they can coincide)

I have a lot of middle class, college educated friends who are Warren supporters and when they ask me why I'm voting for Sanders this is part of my answer. It's not about who is best for me, it's about who is best for the people who have it worse off than me.

This is fantastic news for Bernie. If people are voting and the only names they've heard are Bernie, Steyer, and Bloomberg then Bernie is going to run away with it.

They're right. Step 1 to getting rid of Donny is voting for Bernie in the primaries. Step 2 is voting for Bernie in the general. Step 3 is having the most amazing hangover and sense of hope on November 4th.

ODNI is more of the Org chart center of IC so who knows. i think he will make noises and glennel or whatever will try but will be ignored. my guess is no matter how IC/dhs folks feel about bernie, they probably hate trump more, least on the national level.

Ah, so that is where the Bay Area rain went. We are on track for a completely dry February, typically he 2nd wettest month of the year. January was pretty dry, too. I think we are less than 1/2 normal for this point of the year. It's looking like we won't even get 1/3 of a normal years rain.

Craziness.

If we had a functioning Congress, no, he'd be impeached for trying.

But this is 2020 in the Stupid Dimension, so he'll probably send loving Boris Badanov to infiltrate the Bernie campaign or some poo poo.

Februrary and January tend to be the wettest months, which isn't saying much-- feels like rain this heavy usually happens around December, though.

Make no mistake, Bernie will be hosed with every step of the way. Whoever the nominee is will be set for a no-holds-barred norm-and-rule-and-law-breaking festival of bullshit. I'm expecting this to be the grossest election in the last 60 years which is why any of the moderates will get absolutely smoked. It is TRULY Bernie or Bust because he's the only one who can stand up to the opposition in the fucks he gives for the game (none) as well as the values-based policies he espouses.

Yeah, I find it hard to understand when people wonder 'can he really drive a grassroots movement' when his whole campaign is a grassroots movement that is proving succesful despite the whole media and party apparatus being alligned against it...

They aren't going to limit themselves to oppo that exists, or has an even slight basis in reality.
