If Bernie doesn't win the nomination, I think he should consider

[LuvLoogie]

Moving back to New York and primary Chuck Schumer or maybe even Kirsten Gillibrand, given that she's a Hillary supporter. I would miss Kirsten. Chuck? Not so much.

1. He'd have to build positive relationship with members

of the NY State Dem party and US Senate Dem caucus

2. Gee, after all the 'carpetbagger' slurs thrown at Clinton, you're going to propose that?

He's been gone from NY longer than Gillibrand has been ALIVE.

That would go over reaaaal well...maybe he should do it!

4. Have no fear, this poster is simply shit-stirring. The hate for Bernie is so strong

They actually want him to lose his Senate seat now, by primary-ing a powerful senator in a closed primary state.

They're upset that a vote from a Vermont senator is worth exactly as much in the U.S. Senate as Bankster Schumer. And it is clear that the people of the great state of Vermont won't be voting him out, so due to the hate they have a sadz now.

I would be sad too at all the hate in this OP, if it wasn't so darn funny that they think he is even remotely considering this.

5. They can't primary him.

He will run as an independent. They'd have to beat him straight up in the general. Good luck with that.

7. This isn't about Bernie, it's about you, the movement to change Washington.

I don't hate Bernie, I want him to be a Senator. The other suggestion I have made is that he run for Governor of Vermont and reintroduce single-payer health care. The legislation and charter are already in place.

Please allow me to

It isn't enough to defeat a progressive in a presidential primary -- your goal is to get him to lose his chance to be a progressive voice in the U.S. Senate.

Seriously, you are suggesting he primary an immensely powerful politician in a state with a closed primary process. The only logical conclusion is that you want him to lose and give up his Vermont Senate seat, presumably to someone less progressive.

You Hillary supporters have no shame, and it is clear that you in particular are no progressive.

8. I don't hide that I am a Hillary supporter. It's pretty clear.

I am giving an example of how to dismantle the establishment. I haven't heard much about where the Berniecrats are going to go after the establishment in real terms. Since incrementalism is out of the question, I offer up a big fish. No takers?

6. He would lose those too. The state is too diverse. Stick with Vermont. nt

9. So he should give up a safe Senate seat

to run for a different Senate seat. In a state that he just lost in the primaries by 16%.

You should be a political strategist.
