TheSker Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The way the economy is humming along, I'd venture to guess that Bernie will have a tough time winning with his platforms. He likely won't even win his party nomination once again. Link to comment

His platform is relevant to those who have chosen to borrow for their education in the past 5-10 years. And getting investor dollars on Wall Street to fund that program? Doubtful. Link to comment

His platform is also relevant to 40 million people without health insurance and millions of people who have gone bankrupt from medical bills. His platform is also relevant to people who believe in science and 98% of the world scientists who believe climate change is an existiential threat to our planet. His platform is also relevant to anyone that wants a good paying job, which requires a college education, in which tuition has grown 1000% over the past 10 years and keeps growing every year. His platform is also relevant to people who work full time jobs and still dont have enough to pay the bills so they need to work multiple jobs in order to survive. His platform is also relevant to younger generations who probably wont get s#!t in the form of social security even though theyve been paying in their whole lives. And also older generations who rely on medicare that tries to get cut in every republican budget. His platform is also relevant to anyone who lost their home, their job and their savings (the criminals who crashed it got off scotfree and got bailouts from the people who suffered) from the market crash in 2008 and in which we are on the verge of an even bigger one this time around according to many economists. The economy is being held by a thread and consumer debt is at an all time high, even more so than in 2008. Should I go on? 3 Link to comment

Well im going to assume you vote republican since youre using Fox news and DT talking points about the economy being the best ever even though many statistics show otherwise, so Im sure you didnt really pay attention to the last democratic primary, so ill give you a pass on this statement. But its pretty well known at this point that the DNC rigged the primary for Clinton. Even the head of the DNC came out and said it was rigged. Clinton got questions before debates. Clinton got all super delegate votes before the Iowa caucus. And other things that would help and did help Clinton win. There was so much backlash that they had to change to rules this time around. Even DT tweeted like a month back asking if the DNC was going to screw Bernie again...so we will see this time around if he gets a fair shake. He has more individual donors by more than twice the next candidate. He has over 2 million SMALL dollar individial donations. He has over a million volunteers to his campaign. All this without taking money from big donors which all the other candidates besides Warren do. And all polls show a double digit lead over Trump in battleground states which Trump won in 2016. So you can go ahead and think he doesnt have a lot of support, but its just not true. Link to comment

That was the tagline of a video posted by another poster. I don't watch Fox news and have no idea what DT is. I do find it interesting how many people who claim they despise Fox news know exactly what the content is......which in turn of course helps the Fox news viewership. Polls are great for political banter. Accuracy might be another story. Link to comment

I don’t think Sanders will win the nomination but the current economy doesn’t hurt his platform, because the people his platform would help aren’t the ones doing better in this economy. He’s hurt by being old and by socialism being considered a bad word by a large pct of the population. 1 Link to comment

He's after it so he can garner the support it brings. It's called not being a dumbass. The question was rhetorical. He needs it. Link to comment
