Americans, how does it feel to be number one?

If it doesn't feel good in this case please vote for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary, the only candidate who will do everything in his power to make sure you get Medicare For All and don't have to worry about going bankrupt if you or a family member suffers a health crisis.

If you are not sure if your disposable income will go up or down under Bernie's plans you can check with this link:

I believe the focus should be on voting Trump out of office. Every Democrat, in the running, has a variation on healthcare, that takes us in the right direction.

Bernie does better against Trump in pretty much every poll compared to all the other candidates so good to hear you are on his side.

@Saxo2000 Perhaps you have a link to these polls?

@Northwest Here are some polls for bernie vs trump, if you want to look up the numbers for the other candidates vs trump the source is realclearpolitics

@Saxo2000 Just in case you can't the New York Times:

So, the question is: will the Bernie supporters, accept the results, or put Trump in the WH for a second term?

@Northwest changing the topic I see after being called out for misinformation I see? I guess I should have known your original comment was not sincere but just something you thought was a convenient talking point. The primary polls are very unreliable at this point and for the most part manipulated by the corrupt DNC, at one point one polling company apologised for a poll they made where Bernie was the frontrunner lol. Still if you want to put stock into them here is the latest one after the debate that shows him at a statistical tie with the frontrunner.

Bernie has considerably more donors and volunteers than anyone else in the race and he's the only one who matches Trumps fundraising numbers despite Trump using his platform as President to campaign. I just hope you will at least vote for him in the general election when the time comes. I, like the majority of progressives, will back any candidate who is 100% grassroots funded and unfortunately there are very few of those, not interested in another bait and switch candidate like Obama.

OK, so now you're straight out lying. How the fuck am I changing the topic? I asked for your sources, and you posted something without a reference. I posted a link from the New York Times, along with clips from the article. If you had to that article, you would have seen it's an averaged out chart from the main polls.

You started out saying:

[quote]Bernie does better against Trump in pretty much every poll compared to all the other candidates[/quote]

and now you're saying:

[quote]The primary polls are very unreliable at this point and for the most part manipulated by the corrupt DNC[/quote]

So, the NYT is fake news, and manipulated by the corrupt DNC? You're nothing more than a grandstanding propagandist, who is not interested in anything other than reading their opinion.

So, you want everyone else to vote for Bernie, but if someone else wins, then you will not vote for them. Fuck you and your attitude, you're no better than a Trumphead.

@Northwest Just to add to my point about how misleading primary polls generally are, a breakdown of the latest Emerson national poll (the one from my latest screenshot) of landlines vs cell phones, get ready to back Bernie2020 in the general election even if you have to drag your feet.

Northwest · M

@Saxo2000 Perhaps you should read the NYT article I posted a link to.

A condensed summary of what you wrote here, so far:

1. You are similar to a Trump voter, as in if the polls do not agree with you, they are fake news.

2 You are similar to a Trump voter, as in the same post, you introduce your own "selected" poll, and say "but mine is OK".

3. You are similar to a Trump voter, as in you say "let's vote for the winner of the primaries, but if Bernie did not win, then I am not voting for the winner"

Crystal clear.

Isn't that what they tried with Kerry? To take the candidate that everyone and no one likes just to get George out of office?

I think it's better to have a strong story, with clear ideas who comes over as authentic to the population. Then to take someone who is just there to be against the other guy.
