Nonsensical views need not be given a platform. All the problems Bernie has been talking about for a year, like every single one, is because of this shit attitude towards politics and government. They are too busy with the kids, watching american idol, playing ratchet and clank to engage in grassroots politic and vote in midterms. Simply liking a facebook post and upvoting a link makes no difference.

All ideas deserve platform, your supposition fell on its face in the first sentence.
As for the rest, congrats on the dank generalization.

"Gubberment suckzzz" is not an idea but a show of laziness.

Good , everyone needs to call him on this bullshit that the south doesn't count. There's at least a small shot at flipping a couple of red strongholds in the south and possibly getting a few more seats. Discounting the south is not how you do that.

curious, what state are you in?
Jacobs Ladder was a damn fine movie. And Robbins is a solid actor. Certainly not D list.

Ohio, which means it's not one of those Democratic strongholds with robust everything and we actually needed a goddamn federal law because the GOP is and has always been off the rails in this regard
Hoenstly is the GOP really thinking about the Dems right now?
Their 2 frontrunners are weeping asshole sores
Their majority leader is like "I am just trying to make to 5 o'clock"
And they might have a budget crisis created by their party looming.
A) The Dem primary is the General Election barring something completely unexpected in the GOP race. While I'm not a fan of Sanders' current moves (if he was going to do this, he should have done this earlier) - Sanders has been calling Clinton bought off by Wall Street and corrupt (like everyone else, including GOP candidates) since the beginning. I sort of think that was a much bigger issue.
B) If Sanders had gone the SuperPAC route, it would be "less direct" - I'm not going to be upset at him for not going down that path. Clinton, when put in the position of being the underdog, went directly towards a racist path against Obama. Clinton doesn't get points for not attacking the person who can't actually beat her. Clinton did way more general election damage to Obama (see: Muslim dogwhistles; calling him UnAmerican) then Sanders has done to Clinton so far. Clinton directly brought up Obama being assassinated., and then directly called into question his "American-ness". Yeaaaaaah gonna say that was way worse in the general election. We discount Clinton's comments because Obama won the GE (Thank You Palin!) - just as no one will give a shit about Sanders' comments once Clinton wins.
C) This entire thread would be "The South doesn't count!" if a normal GOP candidate were running and winning the entire South per usual.

Bernie is at least finally talking. So his surrogates can stop embarrassing him now.

The thing that really disappoints me is that there is an issues based campaign Bernie could've run and frankly, did run for a long time during the beginning of this campaign, but instead went full "Clinton is a corrupt sellout."
In a lot of ways, he actually has hurt the movement left of the party among the party officials because they're so tired of dealing with BernieBots.
The difference is, ignoring the fact that I don't think anybody here believes in removing the votes of Southern states from the EC is that just because somebody lives in Alabama, but they're a Democrat, their vote shouldn't be ignored by the party.

Bernie is winning a sizable percentage of the vote, it's pathetic he can't get better surrogates than this

I mean, not exactly? The entire crux of the issue is that Sanders is pretending he doesn't have to appeal to Democratic voters in the South using the GOP strength among the general electorate as an old, feeble excuse for it. It's basically the entire reason (outside of SC) why he didn't cross 40% in a single state in the entire region!

Bernie stealing Trumps valuable Celebrity Apprentice vote
I forgot about Shawshank Redemption and his two Oscars, one for Supporting Actor and one for Best Director. Yikes this is a bad opinion.

In fairness, so did I (and probably just about everyone else ITT), because the movie's nearly as old as me.

I was reading article few days ago about Sanders campaign. He very early on decided he did not want to run a "negative campaign" and wanted to focus on issues. Turns out Weaver and his advisors were begging him to bring up Hillary's campaign donations since before the first debate. Bernie swiftly ruled out those attacks, saying they insinuate about Hillary's character and he did not want to do that. I think he started talking about campaign donations in early January after his advisors convinced him. Somehow. Since then he's gone after transcripts, touched on emails, and host of other attacks.
Don't forget the cast of Heroes.

He has one Oscar, and was nominated for another. Also, unless you are a legend, you don't retain A-lister status while putting out nothing of note in a decade

Why are so many Democratic campaign managers so shitty? I mean, there have to be good ones outside of Plouffe, Axelrod, Begala, and Carville, right?
