    Wrong. I don't remember Moishe, but stanger has said ad nauseam that he voted Clinton. But if those two are going to be the focus, why mention the third?

    How has he not reached out? Biden is the one saying he has no empathy.

    Number 1 issue Healthcare
    Support for Medicare for all - over 50%.

    And he beats Trump in head to head polls most consistently last time I checked.

    Sanders literally wrote off the Black vote prior to SC by declining to meet with Clyburn (and thereby eliminating any chance he had of winning SC). Then there is his attacks on "establishment Democrats", the accusations of his surrogates that black voters were uninformed, low information voters, etc, etc. At no point has Sanders attempted to reach out to moderate Democrats. Seriously, not only has he failed to adjust his losing message from 2016, but he's completely lost the "Anyone but Clinton" voter that went for him in 2016. Bernie's base has SHRUNK since 2016, so yes, it is pretty obvious to anyone that isn't an outsider that Bernie hasn't made overtures to people outside his ever shrinking base.

    Not since he started getting creamed by Biden.

    Clyburn? He might as well have asked Clinton for her endorsement, was never going to happen, Its not a valid argument you're just regurgitating MSM cues.

    Sanders has a policy platform, Biden does not. That's the only genuine form of outreach.

    The media is in the tank for Biden, so is the DNC and so are state election officials. if it was a fair process he would romp it in. Election integrity remains a serious concern and both parties have a vested interest in keeping it that way. Bloomberg spends $500m for the sole purpose of defeating Sanders and "proud democrats" stand on the sidelines cheering it on.

    Now you're most probably going to get to choose between two brain dead candidates in the GE. Congratulations you're getting what you deserve.

    Thank you for confirming my point. :) Bernie's core message is a conspiracy theory wrapped in a policy platform. Don't be surprised when the conspiracy theory turns people off.

    Your facts are not correct. I don't believe I mentioned ANY names and your recollection of @stanger's voting history is not accurate IIRC.

    Its blatantly obvious to anyone who's impartial that this is not a conspiracy theory.

    Let's just say for fun that Uncle Joe dropped dead today. What do you think would happen?

    If your answer is that the second place candidate automatically wins, I shall preemptively laugh at you now.

    Ha ha ha.

    Dems would nominate someone other than Bernie and get absolutely destroyed in the GE. Democrats would forevermore lose faith in their party. The End.

    Ha, ha, ha.

    One of the common traits of conspiracy theorists is that they are the only impartial ones and that if the rest of the population would only open their eyes, they would see it too.

    There are objective facts and there are theories.

    Russia meddled in the 2016 GE is a theory.

    The DNC and MSM unfairly tipped the scales for Clinton in the primary is a fact.

    Which one are you and your crew pushing?

    On the surface, that suggests that Trump is losing swing votes, but is playing even better than in 2016 with his base territories. I would guess than any Democrat hoping that the path to victory comes from chipping away at the high school white vote would be sorely disappointed.

    Sometimes I really think you are plant. But I am not for conspiracy theories, as a general rule, so then I decide you are just ... strange.

    I can't for the life of me figure out why you think the Democrats should give one shit about your opinion.

    It's almost like you can't take a hint.
