I'm so frikkin' sick and tired of people putting down the very populist and very popular message that Bernie Sanders is giving our voice to.

And anybody that thinks the media isn't putting that message down, just probably doesn't believe in we the people. Because we the people is his message.

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

Highlight:

Please spare me the outrage about the "establishment" comment. [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

Yep - been there done that! jmg257 Feb 2020 #1

Yes, there is such a thing as the "Democratic establishment", it's known as the Democratic Party! George II Feb 2020 #2

Those are different things. Obviously. DanTex Feb 2020 #5

Which he refuses to be part. 2naSalit Feb 2020 #11

I can't support anyone who says there's "no difference" between Democrats and the GOP. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #20

or ignorance by choice. ...nt 2naSalit Feb 2020 #27

So you would have rather Bernie run third party? (NT) ripcord Feb 2020 #130

Please fill in the 2naSalit Feb 2020 #133

Poor, poor Bernie. Everyone is mean to him. Well... not everyone. Squinch Feb 2020 #3

Putin likes him. So there's that. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #22

If you don't vote for Bernie, you are Establishment dalton99a Feb 2020 #31

And don't forget an oligarch and a corporatist and a SJW. We are, truly, very very bad. Squinch Feb 2020 #47

Who gives a fuck about "mean"? Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #40

There's a group that wants to stop Biden, and one that wants to stop Liz and Squinch Feb 2020 #56

This. mzmolly Feb 2020 #69

The Bloomberg comparison is apt, the others aren't Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #87

Oh FFS. This is just more and more insistence on BS's victimhood. Squinch Feb 2020 #89

Offends all of us, trashes all of us. betsuni Feb 2020 #134

Let's Try Some Facts corbettkroehler Feb 2020 #72

You said it! It MUST be Bernie persecution! By the evil, evil establishment monster! Squinch Feb 2020 #78

Poor, poor moderates. Their candidates are faltering to a progressive for the first time in years Doremus Feb 2020 #81

When Russians are ratfucking for one of the candidates, that's kind of a slam dunk Squinch Feb 2020 #84

Progressives have been voting for and supporting moderates for decades. Is a little reciprocity too Doremus Feb 2020 #86

When its Putin's candidate so he can get Filthy Donnie elected? Um, yeah. That's way too much Squinch Feb 2020 #88

Yes, when it puts the country in danger. Butterflylady Feb 2020 #95

So, "old" Democrats Roy Rolling Feb 2020 #97

Bernie will need all of us to vote for him. 33taw Feb 2020 #7

I can assure you that he is not offending 65% of the party. DanTex Feb 2020 #10

He needs all of us. 35% support him at this point. 33taw Feb 2020 #14

65%? Did he tell you that? Squinch Feb 2020 #34

No, I did the math. Bernie has captured about 27% of the vote to this point. 33taw Feb 2020 #90

Likely change? Yah, it could go sprinkleeninow Feb 2020 #115

I think support could go down for Bernie. That tweet was not his brightest move. 33taw Feb 2020 #116

No, I don't believe that it was. Detracting. Instead of advancing. sprinkleeninow Feb 2020 #118

lololol evertonfc Feb 2020 #8

Better than Bloomberg. Turin_C3PO Feb 2020 #15

I'd vote for Bloomberg over Sanders in a heartbeat. And so would most of the people here, highplainsdem Feb 2020 #25

It does refer to the rank and file Jersey Devil Feb 2020 #9

Uh, no. The term for that is "Democratic rank and file", not "Democratic establishment". DanTex Feb 2020 #12

Oh, so who defines PatSeg Feb 2020 #19

The way the term is used is to refer to insiders like James Carville. DanTex Feb 2020 #24

So would that include Democratic insiders like PatSeg Feb 2020 #39

Yep. And everyone here damn well knows that's what he means. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #46

Oh, do tell. What have you named us? By what shall we be known? Squinch Feb 2020 #36

Ah - good. Do YOU fear Bernie being the Democratic candidate in the GE? jmg257 Feb 2020 #21

And according to most polls, PatSeg Feb 2020 #13

No, the "Democratic establishment" is less than 1% of Democrats. DanTex Feb 2020 #17

Once again PatSeg Feb 2020 #28

By Bernie's definition, which is also the standard definition. DanTex Feb 2020 #57

So you've talked to every Dem in the country? dware Feb 2020 #63

I've seen this movie many times before. DanTex Feb 2020 #66

So you don't know that it's just a small minority of Dems dware Feb 2020 #68

Oh, I'm sure every last one! PatSeg Feb 2020 #76

The Truck Stop I'm at right now just outside of Portland, OR, dware Feb 2020 #77

Are you serious? PatSeg Feb 2020 #80

Yep, even among the more conservative truckers I know, dware Feb 2020 #83

Thank you PatSeg Feb 2020 #85

Obviously, I think you're wrong PatSeg Feb 2020 #74

No, it isn't. You're choosing to define it that way because Sanders is attacking most of the party highplainsdem Feb 2020 #32

Still excusing what Bernie really means I see. dware Feb 2020 #52

Ooooh! I LIKE THOSE! Can I be the bourgeois tool??? That costume is the BEST! Squinch Feb 2020 #138

Bernie is for average working people who have been left on the sidelines. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #30

Then why doesn't he sell a couple of his homes and give the money away? highplainsdem Feb 2020 #35

He would be much more effective fighting for change on a macro level on the national stage. n/t totodeinhere Feb 2020 #44

And he can walk barefoot and wear a hairshirt while he's at it wellst0nev0ter Feb 2020 #92

And what has he done in 30 years that makes you say that? What has Squinch Feb 2020 #45

He has been a lonely voice in the wilderness on a lot of occasions. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #48

how did that turn out handmade34 Feb 2020 #54

And just what do you think he can accomplish? dware Feb 2020 #59

So says you anyway. But IMHO Bernie's revolution will attract many disaffected first time totodeinhere Feb 2020 #67

IMO, you are dead wrong on this, dware Feb 2020 #70

God forbid. But if for some reason due to human nature and number sprinkleeninow Feb 2020 #117
