33. "Far from perfect?"

Everyone tries... but many Sanders supporters believe that He is the metric of perfection concerning progressive ideals.

And Sanders himself often implies that anyone who doesn't agree lockstep with him is "corrupt."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I don't understand why the leadership allows him to play this "I'm a Dem when it's useful" game.	cwydro	Dec 2019	#16

People keep bringing up that "over the last 10 years Democrats have lost about 1,000 seats"...	George II	Dec 2019	#12
The quote was from before the 2018 elections.	thesquanderer	Dec 2019	#17
It's closer to 900 than it is to 1,000 - why not use 900? And in one day in November 2018....	George II	Dec 2019	#36
Actually, I just googled, and found a number of references that it was over a thousand.	thesquanderer	Dec 2019	#42
The numbers aren't really the issue. It is the alleged cause of the losses.	dansolo	Dec 2019	#68

I just wish he would stop yelling at us all the time. He's stuck at one volume.	Capt. America	Dec 2019	#66
Sanders has a relatively poor legislative track record.	yardwork	Dec 2019	#20
I wonder what his vision of a Sanders presidency is	PatSeg	Dec 2019	#37
The vision is fairly authoritarian, I think.	yardwork	Dec 2019	#44
Yes, it would seem so	PatSeg	Dec 2019	#48
That's a nice way of putting it.	George II	Dec 2019	#38

yes, he can see that but he is too damn wrapped up in himself to care	Fresh_Start	Dec 2019	#72
That is rather sad	PatSeg	Dec 2019	#73

On MLK Day, Bernie Made a Patronizing Remark About President Obama...	TomCADem	Dec 2019	#49

I'm curious, which candidate do you support? You only post OPs about Bernie, nothing positive	Autumn	Dec 2019	#18
