Yeah, I mean, if even a decent chunk of Bernie supporters go over to Hillary over the next few months, it won't be very close come August. And, like, the economy doesn't crash.

He was the chosen one
WHY
Right?
You want to talk about a progressive who was going to be the Democratic Rockstar. That was Weiner and he cocked it all up.
Fucking prick

Nate Cohn made an interesting point about how Warren can help. The fact that she didn't used to be a Democrat could be a help. She can, literally, come out and say "This is not the Republican party of my youth." It might make it more palatable to some (particularly women) to engage in some introspection. You pair that with "Does Trump really speak for you?" and you may either flip some people or convince some to at least not vote for Trump.
Sounds great! How does he feel about income inequality?

Well, he's a Libertarian so I assume he doesn't give a shit.
He believes the government should do everything within its legitimate authority to combat it.

Gary Johnson is betting on Americans wanting to pay for the biggest tax cut for the rich in human history by eliminating the military and most of Medicare and Social Security and from instituting a 23% sales tax.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

I'm glad Obama didn't wait for Bitter Bernie to drop out before finally getting to endorse Khaleesi.

This is the exact problem with what I'm seeing with sanders supporters
Do they actually believe this?
Taibbi talks about congressional aides only talking amongst themselves. Well maybe liberals should start talking to people who aren't liberals.
And how is that a "true populist platform" as it excludes other populist goals, reduction in "wasteful spending" and "reduce immigration".
Which is why hillary one and the majority of sanders supporters are happy with hillary.
Stop thinking reddit and the people you interview at bernie rallys are the only people that exist in this country
And Idk how your surprised you disagree.
Johnson was on Samantha Bee this week, but I'm pretty sure he was just stoned out of his mind for the whole thing. They might like that I guess.
Libertarians are nuts. I used to kinda consider myself one, then I met an actual one and was like "WTF?".
It's easy to misread the mood of the country if you aren't careful. There was a lot of anger during and after the financial crisis, all of it directed a certain way, but it's also easy to see that not everyone wanted the same policies to fix it.
If you think that was bad, wait until you see the convention.
I love how they make it seem like the key problem is a lack of Democratic willpower to act on these issues and not, say, an insane opposition utilitizing every means of possible obstruction.

High income voters obviously have reason to vote for an economically right-wing party.
Religious voters care about religious stuff than money (to a point).
And then there's another huge chunk of voters that care more about white nationalism than money (to a point obviously).
The GOP's rank and file isn't really voting against their interests or could be swayed by more economic liberalism.

One kinda funny thing about the LA Times map is that you can see the gentrification of certain areas based on the Bernie wins.

I mean he mentions unions. The card check bill passed the House in 2007! 241 to 185
And it failed cloture 51 to 48. it got a majority of the senate for vote for
Democrats passed one of the best bills for unions and it failed because the REPUBLICANS
But in Taibbis minds the democrats don't care about unions. Its infuriating

The Kenyan, Marxist, Socialist Muslin on the left is hugging the Neoliberal, Corporate shill, oligarch, she-devil on the right. They're touching each other because they're sucking each other's life force to create an infinite loop of FRAUD! to suppress the revolution!
And I assume their faces are covered in blood or something.

Shit, i didn't know it came so close. Why did it die in Obama's first 2 years?
Hope this wasn't a "Let's pass this knowing it has no chance of being made law" type of deal.

Those were the bush years, got the year wrong.
It was 07 I think. Support did start failing in 09 but part of that was the midterms and people freaking out

But it was brought up again in 2009-2010.
Blue dogs railroaded it (Lincoln, Nelson, Carper, Specter).
Edit: Although all of them voted for it when it came up in 2007 when they knew it wouldn't beat a GOP filibuster. Thanks for nothing you fucking assholes.

Absolutely not. As a former union organizer you have no idea what management pulls with elections. They do sooo much illegal shit.
The fear of intimidation over signing the card is like forbidding picket lines. Sorry your fellow employees know you stand with management over them.
I've done card check elections and organized through NLRB. Everybody (Unions, NLRB, Employees) but employers like card check better
Christie is working very hard for that chance at the VP slot. He knows he has no other chance at a political future.

The guy texting directly behind Bernie is a nice touch.
Edit: That wasn't an attempt to knock Bernie,fyi. It was me throwing shade on someone who would text while on stage like that.

I'm not going to watch Bernold's rally. I've barely been able to watch the speeches on election night. He's not going to make it official tonight, but I'll be interested to read if he continues to sound more and more like he's about to.
