Centrist Denocrats: would you vote for Bernie in the General Election?

@SmartKat I don't see how anyone can call themselves a progressive if they don't vote against Trump.

@Graylight let's be honest about your criticism none of the candidates have realistic ways to make their plans happen short of us completely defeating the republicans and wiping them out so bad they lack the required 41 seats in the senate to mount a filibuster.

The Republicans and especially their elected officials see all democrats including the base as mutant freaks who are subhuman mongrels fit only for being slaughtered/killed and pure evil.

you act as if bernie is unique in being unrealistic. Mitch intends to filibuster everything if we take the senate. He's already on the record saying that that is his intent.


just like they did the last time around. Unless the democrats have their Balrog to knock gandalf off the platform to his death as he screams "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" (I'm being metaphorical) we have no hope of passing any legislation at all regardless of who we as a party Nominate.

if you believe ANY of the candidates or a Centrist democrat could get their agenda through I have a Bridge i'd like to sell you.

@whowasthatmaskedman Yeah, President Trump sure pissed off the goddamndemocrats by defeating the Chosen One

@sunsporter1649 I give you the win. Just dont push it. She was a terrible candidate with an awful campaign. A lot of democrats stayed home. Thats not happening this time just to get Trump out..

@sunsporter1649 I hope so.

@sunsporter1649 Wasnt that what Trump Promised the Rich? Plus a free wall.

@whowasthatmaskedman Gee, since all your candidates for President are rich, should they not be supporting President Trump?

@beckyromero mixed picture. Fair enough.

@Burnley123

🙂

I would also make raising the minimum wage a major theme of a campaign, not the pie-in-the-sky free college proposal Lizzy is touting.

@Burnley123 Having the government handle something instead of private enterprise does SOUND leftist. Until you look at how crooked the system gets using the existing business and lobbyist network. Only then do you see that the lack of oversight and price gouging makes the Govt alternative cheaper and more efficient.

@beckyromero You do realise that I'm to the left of Bernie? I'm a leftist by european standards lol. I am a pragmatist strategically but I don't think we will agree on everything. Nice chat though.

Don't complain if your expectations are not met!@calnative

FWIW-I've known many who chose NOT to vote-soon they lamented whoever was in office. Don't, my friend throw your privilege to vote away!@calnative
