My thoughts are, Bernie will be used to rally those left over from 2016. Then when the real Dem candidate is selected he throws his support their way.

Looking back, that's what he was supposed to do in 2016: Rally the disaffected Democrat voters, corral them, and lead them to vote for Hillary.

In 2016 the Dems abandoned their core base, the blue collar worker in favor of SJWs. The blue collar worker is now called the uneducated racist redneck.

Those voters (the younger vote) are now four years older, out of college and hitting the wage ceiling. This is a huge reason why we hear the clarion call for equal pay, ceo's make too much, corps don't pay their fair share. Bernie now will lead those voters as the career savior while AOC continues to beat the drum for the next wave of young voters, and so on...Then by 2024 AOC becomes eligible to run for prez and the base is built. SJW from two election cycles will be baked in the cake.

LOL:


The Democratic National Committee (DNC) (https://www.politicususa.com/2018/02/28/robert-mueller-just-rocked-trumps-world-investigating-knowledge-dnc-email-hack.html) adopted a new rule on Friday (https://www.yahoo.com/news/eye-bernie-sanders-democratic-national-committee-adopts-new-restrictions-2020-presidential-candidates-225841348.html)designed to keep non-DemocratsDemocrat candidates like Bernie Sanders (https://www.politicususa.com/2018/04/24/310568.html) from winning the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020.
The new rule, adopted by the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, says that all Democratic Party candidates must be a member of the Democratic Party.
This new rule would stop non-Democrats like Bernie Sanders from running for the party’s nomination in the 2020 presidential race unless they join the Democratic Party. The rule change appears to be a response to the bitter primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Sanders in 2016, although DNC members deny this.


Some Sanders allies think the party is now being motivated by a desire to punish him for his actions in 2016. Many Democratic Party members felt Sanders’ candidacy was disruptive and harmful and helped Donald Trump win the election.


The new rule states:
“At the time a presidential candidate announces their candidacy publicly, they must publicly affirm that they are a Democrat. Each candidate pursuing the Democratic nomination shall affirm, in writing, to the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee that they: A. are a member of the Democratic Party; B. will accept the Democratic nomination; and C. will run and serve as a member of the Democratic Party.”


Sanders caucuses with Democrats in the Senate but has always kept his status as an independent. He describes himself as a “democratic socialist” which is not a formal political party.

Yes, while increasing Social Security Payments, Medicare/ACA for all, reduce taxes for those 65 and older, Tax the rich(AOC in tow), government jobs for all(AOC in tow), raise taxes on business to 65%, If he promises these things he's pretty much nailed down 75% of the base.

2020: Bernie Sanders Raises $5.9 Million in First 24 Hours

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/02/20/2020-bernie-sanders-raises-5-9-million-in-first-24-hours/

20 Feb 2019

In his first 24 hours of running for president again, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) raised nearly six million dollars toward his 2020 bid.

“NEWS: bernieSanders announces he’s raised $5.9 million online in the first 24 hours since his presidential announcement,” Wall Street Journal political reporter Ken Thomas reported in a Wednesday post. “225,000 individual donors. Average donation of $27.”

NEWS: bernieSanders announces he's raised $5.9 million online in the first 24 hours since his presidential announcement. 225,000 individual donors. Average donation of $27.

— Ken Thomas (@KThomasDC) February 20, 2019

Sanders, who ran for president in 2016, blew other declared 2020 Democrat contenders out of the water in first-day fundraising. Politico reported Sen. Kamala Harris, running for the top office for the first time, raised a fraction of Sanders on day one of her campaign with $1.5 million. Harris’ haul did, however, match Sanders’ day one contributions in 2015 for his 2016 campaign.

Harris’ campaign announcement video garnered 4.3 million views on Twitter to Sanders’ video which had 5.4 million views, according to the report.

Comparatively, Sen. Elizabeth Warren raised just $299,000 in online contributions in her first day after announcing an exploratory committee and Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s team told Politico she raised $1 million in her first two days after announcing her run.

Freshman Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York isn't even old enough to run for president, yet nearly three-quarters of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults would consider voting for her if she could.

A new Axios/Survey Monkey poll shows that 74 percent of Democrats and those who lean toward the party would consider voting for her if she were able to run. As is, the Constitution prevents anyone under the age of 35 from serving as president.

Ocasio-Cortez is 29.

But aren't you a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter? What's the difference between that and Dump?

[Peace Piper]

Here's a fun question to ask a Bernie supporter.

It tends to cause confusion, then anger. :D

Why did Bernie Sanders have anti-war protesters ARRESTED in 1999?

His younger supporters will have no idea what you are talking about.

And the older ones (that remember) will pretend that bombing and invading Serbia was to "prevent genocide" - (proven to be a lie after the unconstitutional and illegal assault ended, by the FBI and UN investigators) and Bernie was right to arrest the protesters.

IOW: A humanitarian bombing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_during_Operation_Allied_Force) . Sound familiar?

It sounds familiar because Clinton's 78 day bombing of Serbia was the FIRST PNAC WAR

PNAC took down their website and changed their name to fool the gullible but the wayback machine link works

Bernie the Bomber’s Bad Week
1999

by Will Miller

In late April I was among the 25 Vermonters who occupied Congressman
Bernie Sanders’ Burlington office to protest his support of the NATO
bombing of Yugoslavia and the ongoing war against Iraq. Calling ourselves
the “Instant Antiwar Action Group,” we decided to bring our outrage at
Bernie’s escalating hypocrisy directly to his office, an action that resulted
in 15 of us being arrested for trespass.

Many of us worked on Bernie’s campaigns through
1980’s, the years he was–as the local press repeatedly put it–
the “avowed socialist” Mayor of Burlington, Vermont. His descent
into de facto membership the Democratic party has been a major setback
for the task of building a real electoral alternative to the
two factions of the corporate property that monopolize what passes
for political choice in the United States. Bernie’s selling out
says clearly to working people and those unable to find work
that even leftists become mainstream politicians, when and if
they win office.

Sanders presented himself to the left outside of Vermont
as the leader of the third party movement, vanquishing the two major
parties in every Mayoral election from 1981-88.

When he first got elected Mayor of Burlington he was
the only elected U.S. official to attend the anniversary of the Sandinista
Revolution in Managua. The Gannett owned Burlington Free Press
said he had to be removed from office “by any means necessary.”
Now that same Burlington Free Press endorses his Congressional
candidacy.

Bernie became an imperialist to get elected in 1990.
In August, 1990–after the Bush administration enticed Iraq into
invading Kuwait–Sanders said he wasn’t “going to let some damn
war cost him the election,” according to a staff member who was
present at the time. So Sanders backed the buildup in the Persian Gulf
and dumped on the left anti-imperialist peace movement, singling
out his former allies like Dave Dellinger for public criticism...more:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrcOWkGCbas

The last 20 years has proven that the most dangerous nation in the world is the US. And this Sanders clown is an enabler.


“Further, the process of transformation (of the military), even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor.” PNAC policy report “Rebuilding America’s Defenses”, September 2000


“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” —Karl Rove (Source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community))

No. Not really. This is a thread about Bernie Sanders. You responded to a post about freedom not being popular because Bernie Sanders raised a lot of money with a link to Trump's GoFundMe for a wall.

You clearly are putting Trump and the money he raised for his wall in the same category as a Castro sympathizer. A wall is not even anti-freedom. It probably just won't work. This is one of these stupid equivalencies I see a lot of. "XYZ person/country is an awful socialist/authoritarian." "True. But ABC person/country is okay with taxation. They are both equally bad." There is never any sense of proportion.

Florida Democrats are calling on Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to backtrack his comments after refusing to acknowledge opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s legitimate president.“There are serious questions about the recent election. There are many people who feel it was a fraudulent election,” Sanders, a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, said Tuesday in an interview (https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/21/bernie-sanders-refuses-call-maduro-step-down/) with Univision.
Many Florida Democrats were outraged by this response, Politico (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/21/bernie-sanders-venezuela-maduro-1179636) reported Thursday.
Democratic Florida Rep. Donna Shalala, who represents Venezuelan exiles, told Politico: “He is not going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party. He has demonstrated again that he does not understand this situation.”


Sanders’ response puts him at odds (https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/23/trump-venezuela-maduro-opposition/) with President Donald Trump, as well as a growing share (https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/20/dominoes-venezuelas-military-attache-recognizes-guaido-as-president/) of the international community, who recognizes Guaido as Venezuela’s president and has not ruled out military intervention in the country.



It also alienates Sanders among 2020 Democratic presidential candidates who have commented on the issue. This list includes Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who each recently denounced Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and backed Guaido.
Florida, which houses more Venezuelan immigrants (https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_113_QTP10&prodType=table) than any other state, is a perennial swing-state. Shalala is joined by many state Democratic leaders, like Miami state Sen. Annette Taddeo and others (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/30/trump-venezuela-florida-policy-1138307), who fear a candidate’s stance on this issue could persuade enough Venezuelans to jump ship and support Trump.
