Really? Because I feel like a lot of "progressives" are more interested in winning arguments and not elections... which have CONSEQUENCES. It's a luxury to be able to say "I'll sit this election out because my guy didn't get the nomination and I'll try again in four years." Meanwhile The Right regains power, and undos what little progress HAS been made and shifts the country further to the right and the circle repeats.

There's new enemies patrolling the map now as well which bring new tactics. I think it's the Mercenary group that takes over.

Went to check her out on twitter and this is her pinned Tweet. I think I'm in love...

Who dat?

The problem with Warren is that she is in her 70's as well... If she's his running mate (which I have no problem with) wouldn't the be the oldest ticket in history? Is there a person like that out there? I know folks are mentioning Stacy Abrams, but are there other young progressives out there that I'm not aware of that would fit the bill?

Besides Warren, who would be a suitable Biden V.P. Pick that would make progressives feel better?

Honestly... I don't even know how to respond to this post. Let me think on this for a bit because there's a decent amount to unpack here

I was under the understanding that the youth vote was DOWN in the Democratic primaries so for this season and that is the main reason why Bernie didn't do better on Super Tuesday. The Youth Vote Goes Missing in the Democratic Primaries Super Tuesday: Why Didn't More People Vote? If someone has info that contradicts this please let me know because that is not what my understanding has been. Warren and Bernie, I'll give you but Kamala? As far as I know ( and I could be wrong) black folks weren't fucking with her especially progressive, black millennials. Her record as a Prosecutor in Oakland did her in amongst young black progressives and no one was buying her trying to rebrand herself as a "Progressive Prosecutor". I've defended her in enough social media circles to know that black folks ain't feeling Kamala and I don't know what picking her as his running mate really does for Biden. It's not gonna gain him much from black progressive millennials. They'd prefer Stacy Abrams. I don't know if this is directed at me or not but I hope I haven't given the impression that I think black people hate Bernie or that I myself hate him. One of my closest friends, my ex-girlfriend and a BUNCH of other people I know are ALL Bernie supporters. I don't have a problem with Bernie either and I would vote for him if he's the nominee... I just don't see him winning against Trump for a whole HOST of reasons and even if he did, I don't see him accomplishing one THIRD of the stuff he's promising. Me and Bernie are cool... a good chunk of his supporters can go fuck themselves though.

Trump only likes people who DON'T die of flu, okay?

Entitlement? Delusion? Hypocrisy?

How young? Under 30? Because the youth vote seems to be down amongst ALL demos this year while going up vs the others.

The guy IS black which makes it even more ridiculous.

Dude on my Facebook basically said that black folks are voting out of emotion for Biden which is so weird to me because the knock against Biden's support is that it ISN'T passionate and that Bernie is the one that has passionate supporters. I asked him that how does he expect Bernie to unite the party if he's the nominee if all his supporters do is belittle and insult the rest of the party? He ignored the question.

National Organization of Women Urges Elizabeth Warren NOT to Endorse Bernie Sanders oh dear... this ain't gonna be pretty.

Yeah this has been discussed a lot in Black social media... they attacked this group after one of them came to the defense of Ava Duvernay when she expressed support for Warren as well. Working families party staffers face harassment after Warren endorsement Ava Duvernay receives Death Threats from Bernie supporters. By the way, a lot of these Bernie supporters that attacked Duvernay were black or at least their online personas made them appear to be. So while race plays a part it's not as simple as that. Some of this stuff could be Russian bots and Right wing groups posing as Bernie supporters for sure... but not all. And yeah.... it doesn't sound like she's gearing up to endorse Bernie. It sounds like she's making the case for why she ISN'T going to endorse him.

Me and Corn Cob are gonna take you behind the wood shed and give you the business.

OH I read that tweet with Biden's voice in my head... very entertaining.

I think I saw that video of what Gillum said... yeah it was dumb too. Doesn't change what I posted about Old Black Souther Voters (I capitalized it because some Sanders supporters DO think that the demographic is some kind of organization it seems.

To be fair, they do a little more than post "Snake Emojis". The vitriol a significant portion of them have directed at "old uniformed Southern Black Voters" goes beyond just being snarky. Thanks... the Tweet says more than enough. I'm not watching that. It's bad enough I knew who D'Souza was... I don't keep up with him enough to know what his latest crackpot comspiracy theories and misinformation campaigns are.

Dinesh D'Souza has been calling Bernie a NAZI?!

Can I ask where this narrative that Bernie is a Nazi is coming from Because it's dumb as hell. Reminds me of when Glenn Beck called Barack Obama a racist based on nothing.

There was a REPUBLICAN commentator on CNN who said this the other night after the Dairy incident... I was suprised because he was the only one who brought it up on the segment I watched. It's true though... It was a couple of Joe's staffers and his WIFE that defended him the other night, not security. That could have been REAL bad.

Where was this?
