If it wasn't already blatantly obvious that the Dems are trying to sabotage Sanders...

Trump is a good president ......but only for the top 1%

According to a Nobel laureate in economics, university professor at Columbia University and chief economist at the Roosevelt Institute

In case anyone's wondering how I'm feeling about Hillary Clinton's latest comments on the Sanders campaign...

They're certainly going all out to stop him and even Warren. No idea why they think Biden is a good idea, I mean he's getting mauled in debates already. Even if you hate Trump you'd have to admit his campaigning and debating is top notch. He destroyed the Republican establishment one debate at a time, what's he going to do to Joe Biden who rages at questions from old man democrats on the campaign trail.

To be fair to Hillary Clinton (never thought I'd say those words) she's got Bernie pegged. The man never had a real job and has done jack shit as a Senator. He's a grifter and moocher, a charlatan selling the snake oil of socialism to a brainwashed generation of political idiots.

He seems to believe his own BS, he was a Communist during the cold war after all, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he's just another political opportunist. With the current attacks I'd say his run is probably over.

Sanders has just taken the lead in the Democratic primary polling for the first time:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/22/us/p ... biden.html
The first poll, conducted by SSRS for CNN and released early Wednesday morning, showed Mr. Sanders with 27 percent support and Mr. Biden following closely behind at 24 percent support. It was the first time Mr. Sanders has led nationally since Mr. Biden entered the race last April, though his lead was within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Funny, seems to me like he's just taking the worst parts of it and putting them in his administration.

Sanders' 'democratic socialism' is barely light orange compared to Trump's vivid red anti-capitalist global trade war.

The silence from Trump's socialist panic fan club is deafening, even as he swaps capitalism for authoritarian market control. Whatever the Dear Leader commands.

this one has been around for a few days; Bernie Sanders paid staffer kyle jurek, (emphasis on paid staffer)

https://www.jpost.com/American-Politics ... ted-614310

its not unusual to find this sentiment on the left, usually it goes like this:

"Gulags were compassionate"
"it wasn't real communism (but we still wave the soviet flag)"
"a noble experiment carried out under less than ideal conditions"
"i would rather have....(insert act of genocide) committed in the name of socialism, than anything else"
"Anifa might have a few radicals who are misguided but they are on the right track"
......and a long list of other Marxist sh!t no one will vote for.

Sanders record of not dealing with his own radicals will likely sink him in the same way it did Jeremy Corbyn.

Essentially its the politics of punishment; if you don't vote for us we will punish you, if you do vote for us we will punish you.

Note he didn’t say that cities will burn if Sanders is elected. This is why people should vote for Sanders. ;)
