35. "Unnatural and unfortunate" dislike?

Apr 2020

With so many of his followers voting for Trump in 2016 or staying at home because he would not bother to strongly calling on them to vote for Hillary? A play which may well be repeated in November?

Because of him bashing the Democratic party, his intent of really destroying it, him hijacking our primaries and caucuses by not "contaminate" himself by being a Democrat?

Some day, some historian will write about how damaging Sanders has been for the Democratic party, how instrumental he has been for getting Trump in the White House with disastrous results for the whole world.

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

Hmmm... it's almost like there's a larger, coordinated agenda at work to keep Bernie in the race... Blue Owl Apr 2020 #2

Sanders was on Bill Maher tonight. He seemed relaxed and in good humor. Hoyt Apr 2020 #3

Maybe because Bernie has a lot of good ideas and a large following? Bluepinky Apr 2020 #4

Fine. Let him first withdraw from the race, close this chapter question everything Apr 2020 #6

I agree with that, everyone needs to vote for the Democratic candidate in the general election. Bluepinky Apr 2020 #10

Bingo! Champion Jack Apr 2020 #71

What Good Ideas? Me. Apr 2020 #74

Not large enough to win the primary. He lost...and should sashay away. Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #77

Every circus needs a clown Grokenstein Apr 2020 #5

he does represent a substantial consituency and has the same ideas I had 40 yrs ago lol nt msongs Apr 2020 #7

Fine. First let him leave the race and tell his followers to vote for Biden question everything Apr 2020 #8

The Democratic party had many of those ideas then, too. Gore1FL Apr 2020 #11

And still do...but surely we can do better than M4A...an old plan...and my sis is no Medicare and Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #78

Cool! Take that assuredness and use it to reach out to Sanders supporters Gore1FL Apr 2020 #82

14% support him at DU. 48% are undecided. nt Gore1FL Apr 2020 #9

DU is a site on the internet, which is global. George II Apr 2020 #25

So you admit Sanders clearly has enough supporters globally to be interviewed. Gore1FL Apr 2020 #28

So you admit that perhaps some of that 14% are not American voters? George II Apr 2020 #33

48% aren't undecided. TwilightZone Apr 2020 #56

So there are at least 14% for Sanders at this site and maybe more. Gore1FL Apr 2020 #60

A large part of the undecided don't come here often and have not bother to pick a nominee...he Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #79

Maybe they are all hoping he will announce the suspension of his campaign Bev54 Apr 2020 #12

I wonder if they're "secret admirers" of wanting Cha Apr 2020 #13

Maher has never been a friend of the Democratic Party Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #14

Maher voted for Republican Bob Dole in 1996 against Bill Clinton LVZ Apr 2020 #15

Thanks Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #17

And I think that Jon Stewart voted for papa Bush in 1988 question everything Apr 2020 #31

I believe it is a mistake for any of us to make the Democratic Party some PatrickforO Apr 2020 #19

Don't dishonestly put words in my mouth Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #21

Indeed. But dissent sometimes can be the highest form of patriotism. PatrickforO Apr 2020 #22

Does dissent include parroting GOP talking points? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #24

We try never to miss Maher. I have noticed this parroting a couple times, most PatrickforO Apr 2020 #38

That wasn't my question. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #41

Took him awhile to build back up, though. PatrickforO Apr 2020 #46

No a few months is not years Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #50

Indeed. Politically Incorrect was canceled in 2002 and Real Time launched in 2003. stopbush Apr 2020 #64

My biggest issue with Bill is he's always a week behind whenever he talks about polling HarlanPepper Apr 2020 #49

Biden has a great record on SS...and there is more to that...if you care to look it up. Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #80

Except for the $1,000,000 he donated to Obama. Gore1FL Apr 2020 #29

So? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #40

I don't think we should be in the business of ostracizing people. Gore1FL Apr 2020 #43

Who is saying anyone should be ostracized? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #51

One need merely pick at random any given anti-Sanders thread . Gore1FL Apr 2020 #62

This is about Bill Maher, not Bernie Sanders. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #65

Are we on the same thread? Gore1FL Apr 2020 #66

And my post was in regard to Maher Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #67

Why are we expending ammo on not-friend and not-enemies? Gore1FL Apr 2020 #68

Some of us can walk and chew gum Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #69

But why walk in that direction and chew that gum? Gore1FL Apr 2020 #70

Because we should call out lying RW talking points Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #72

No...but if we put Maher up against Bloomberg, we're PatrickforO Apr 2020 #48

Who was putting Maher against Bloomberg? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #52

Well, it does not always work out for him - re: Whoopi to Bernie - Why? LVZ Apr 2020 #16

What was his answer? True Blue American Apr 2020 #34

Well, I don't dislike Bernie like so many on here, and I do like his platform. PatrickforO Apr 2020 #18

Well Said, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #23

What you said. Gore1FL Apr 2020 #30

"Unnatural and unfortunate" dislike? question everything Apr 2020 #35

I acknowledge there were Sanders supporters that voted for other candidates besides Clinton in 2016. Gore1FL Apr 2020 #42

Utopia? True Blue American Apr 2020 #36

Indeed. I hear that with the new stimulus package, the bottom line PatrickforO Apr 2020 #45

Media Today, Sir, Likes To See A Contest The Magistrate Apr 2020 #20

Agreed. Conflict. BS is always 'angry'. Especially at Dems. BS's own '3rd way'. empedocles Apr 2020 #26

Because Sanders ideas are going to win out, even without the nomination. milestogo Apr 2020 #37

Uh huh. Aquaria Apr 2020 #53

No he hasn't. Warren, Biden, Boxer...etc have all had a bigger impact...his M4A will never become Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #81

I'm not a Sanders fan, but he has been out there for the past 6 years stopbush Apr 2020 #39

And this is different from what Democrats have been saying Aquaria Apr 2020 #55

SOME Democrats have been saying this, hardly all Ds. stopbush Apr 2020 #61
