(179,378 posts)I live in the real world. That is a place where magic does not work and where facts matter. In the real world the opinion of a lay person or non-expert without facts are meaningless. Have you consider reading up on the issues and attempting to use facts to back up your opinions?
The sanders supporters are all claiming that Gillum won solely due to sanders which is silly and wrong. The OP on this thread is about sanders being responsible for Gillum's win. Sanders is fundraising off Gillum's win and claims that the may give a portion of the money he raises to Gillum (no one believes this) or that sanders will use his magic to help sanders. If you gave money to campaigns in the real world you would be getting these e-mails. Why is sanders fundraising off of Gillum's win if he is not taking credit. The best way to see what bernie cares about is to watch his fundraising appeal (bernie needs money for his silly institute and to pay Jane's kids). Read the OP and the other numerous posts For example you have not posted on these threads https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016214613 or this thread https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016214574 or https://upload.democraticunderground.com/1280223115 or https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016214574 or https://upload.democraticunderground.com/10456719 or https://upload.democraticunderground.com/100211066466 or https://upload.democraticunderground.com/100211066194
I would love to see you read up on the issues and attempt to understand what is going on. Here you are ignoring many threads on DU about sanders being responsible for Gillum's win. I disagree with these claims. Magic does not work in the real world. A simple endorsement by sanders was not the reason why Gillum won. I doubt that sanders will be providing any financial help to the Gillum campaign.
I am glad that Soros and Steyer are supporting Gillum and the Gillum has raised a great deal of money outside the sanders efforts. Money makes a difference. I am hoping that Soros will get involved in some races that I am working on. In 2016, Soros backed Kim Ogg for Harris County DA and as a result we have unofficial decrim of pot and bail reform. The real world is a nice place but magic does not work. It takes hard work to win races. We have a number of candidates in Texas in red districts who are out raising their GOP opponents. Beto is beating Carnival Cruz badly in fundraising. There are seven or so Texas congressional races where the Democrats have out raised the incumbent GOP candidate. That takes work and not magic.
In the real world a non-expert opinion is not given any weight. In the real world magic does not work and sanders platform can only be adopted in the real world with the aid of a magical voter revolution where millions or billions or trillions of new voters rise up and demand that the GOP be nice to sanders. I am still waiting for you to tell us exactly how many new voters sanders is promising us in this magical voter revolution. Is sanders promising millions of new voters or billions of new voters or trillions of new voters. I can not determine what sanders has in mind and would love an answer to this question.
