The Squad endorse Bernie...what do you think?

AOC and her crew support Sanders over Warren.

The uncorrupted politicians have got to stick together! Great choice.

@beckyromero I have found nothing on Google related to Warren being up for re election in 2016, only links I have found are related to runs in 2012 and 2018 and Massachusetts is not on this list of states that had elections in 2016 so you will have to provide evidence for that one. Even if that was the case there is no excuse for her not endorsing Bernie over Hillary in 2016 if she really was a progressive.

@Saxo2000

You're correct. She was elected in 2012 and 2018.

But I still won't knock her for not running for POTUS in 2016. Maybe she felt she wasn't ready. And I don't think we should judge her for that.

As for endorsements, like beauty, that's in the eye of the beholder.
Saxo2000 · 41-45, M
@beckyromero Thanks for conceding that point, I wasn't sure because it's seems she is up for re election in 2020 again. As for your last point it depends on what you consider a true progressive, if you value integrity over virtue signalling and identity politics Hillary is never going to be considered progressive although there was a point early in her career where she seemed to actually fight for universal free healthcare.

Of course they do. Good socialists gotta stick together.

And I don't know anyone who gives a flying rats ass about anything or anyone they endorse.

@bijouxbroussard

Dead wrong, earth mother.

That's some effed up logic you have going on.

Just because I could care less about your opinion doesn't mean I don't have one.

Like I said, you don't know me...at all, so your analysis is so far off it can't be found.
@AlienZipper Well, I know what you’re [b]saying[/b], and it certainly [b]sounds[/b] like the rhetoric coming from Klaverns all over the country. So I don’t [b]have[/b] to know you personally.

@bijouxbroussard

LoL...you're a piece of work.

So anyone who says what I said is [i]de facto[/i] a Klansman? 😂

I got news for you. I know plenty of people who feel the same way, and, like me, hate the Klan and what they represent.

So, yeah, you DO have to know me.

That means Bernie is nuttier than Warren...because there is no group of politicians nuttier than the squad.
Bernie Sanders is one bad heart attack away from death would be stupid to elect him as president under all that stress it would kill the poor man
@ExperienceDLT I worry about that, too. Dick Cheney had two heart attacks while in office and is [b]still[/b] with us. But he was considerably younger at the time.
Probably because Warren’s a bit more centrist than Bernie. The thing is, it kind of shoots holes into the Trumpsters’ lie that Omar is an [b]anti-Semite[/b], doesn’t it ?
Saxo2000 · 41-45, M
@bijouxbroussard Also because Bernie's campaign is 100% grassroots donations unlike Warren who rolled over 10 million from big donors from her Senate campaign and will do big donor fundraising in the general election on behalf of the corrupt DNC if she wins. Both Bernie and AOC are focused on getting corporate money out of politics. Warren is an opportunist.
Well.. he is the most Stalin of the bunch.. makes sense

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Stalin was a well known New Dealer who sought a compromise between capital and labor.

Shit, I apologize for disagreeing with your superior wisdom my Aussie friend. I need to read a history book. 😂

I don’t have a problem with their decision. Kudos to them.

Today, I learnt that middle-aged white Americans do not like leftist women of colour very much

@Burnley123 They could all be white blondes, and if they behaved in the same way they would be a-holes...same as they are now. Some people who don't have PC tattooed on their foreheads are not afraid to speak the truth, and the squad can't behave like nuts and a-holes without incurring the censure of conservatives. Their skin color does not entitle them to behave in the way that they do without censure.
@Burnley123 No, Trump’s racist supporters are afraid of them.

What happened to tulsi
MrMonnyPenny · 22-25, M
@Burnley123 I got the impression that she was non interventionist in foreign affairs (is that left or right?) and then pretty mixed on the economy.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@MrMonnyPenny I think that is true. Bernie is a non interventionist who is further left in economic policy.
4meAndyou · F
@MrMonnyPenny She agrees with Trump on the troop withdrawal from Syria.
Why cant I buy a healthcare policy that will cover my medical needs 100% ? Because it will cost too much money. 😳
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@softspokenman The British NHS costs half as much money.
curiosi · 61-69, F
I think it is hilarious! This whole thing is like a three ring circus!

Smart, back someone who is not going to win. Good for them

Happy it's not Warren.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@drtt943 They would get eliminated in Trump's TV show?
Saxo2000 · 41-45, M
Love it, there is no stopping the political revolution at this point.
beckyromero · 36-40, F
Not much of a surprise.
MethDozer · M
That isn't good.😔

My opinion of him doesn't change because some nit-wit likes him too.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@MethDozer Nah, she's pretty cool.
MethDozer · M
@Burnley123 Pay more attention Burnley. 😝
MethDozer · M
@Burnley123 Even still, she's a toxic endorsement. She's not popular with many on either side.
