Apparently JC needed to be reminded of this.I see, so if he loses that means people don't want it?
By joves, man, I think you've invented democracy.

If he wins the primaries, it's four more years of Trump, the DNC is right about that. Unless he pivots away, dramatically, from his platform. If he doesn't, in the general election he will get 25%-30% of the vote.I disagree about support. He win will prove that.
That's the point. If he wins it means people want it.
I disagree. I think he brings out new voters and steals back the Dems lost to Trump.If he wins the primaries, it's four more years of Trump, the DNC is right about that. Unless he pivots away, dramatically, from his platform. If he doesn't, in the general election he will get 25%-30% of the vote.
In the primaries, yes. But, the percentages in the primaries don't not translate well into the general election.I disagree. I think he brings out new voters and steals back the Dems lost to Trump.
A corporate moderate/Neo Liberal/right of centre candidate ran against him last time. How did that work out again?
It's his numbers with independents that count. And he has clearly broadened his minority appeal.In the primaries, yes. But, the percentages in the primaries don't not translate well into the general election.
Bernie's the best hope the Dems have of slowing down the AOC freight train. She has more followers on social media than any other candidate, including Trump. Her approval rating among those born after 1980 is above 80%. Sumka Mitch can fix this off course, the Dems could win 20% more of the popular vote and still lose the election.It's his numbers with independents that count.

We've heard this theory of the youth vote since the 1960s. The thing is young voters become older voters. Look it up. It's true.Bernie's the best hope the Dems have of slowing down the AOC freight train. She has more followers on social media than any other candidate, including Trump.

The problem isn't with the Sanders platform. It's with the suppression and lies told about it. But as he gains traction and the truth spreads his base continues to rise.First, that was a pretty good interview. I think Maher takes these topics and his guests seriously even if they don't agree. Sometimes Maher can be a bit dismissive of panel guests.
Butler1000, Bernie needs to dial down the identity politics. It won't play with blue collar voters in the Midwest. His reversal on illegal immigration also leaves a weak spot for Trump to exploit. M4A will sound great to many, but not M4ALL.
You're also forgetting suburban moms might like their insurance to stay the same. These women are the closest to the healthcare decisions in their families. These are the swing voters who don't care for Trump's demeanor and lifestyle, but might hold their nose and vote for Trump.
Chicks dig Bernie!The "Bernie Bros" is a myth. His women support is steady, and growing.
This is hilarious. Love that line about the guy built a female robot that can speak a few words, but he has plans to improve it by making it speak even fewer words.Say what you will about Maher, when he's on he's very fucking funny: Valentine's Day message.

AOC will never become president. A handful of debates and interviews will sink her because she’s clueless.Bernie's the best hope the Dems have of slowing down the AOC freight train.

I don't know about that. She has an extensive knowledge of economics and can even quote "Milton Keynes".AOC will never become president. A handful of debates and interviews will sink her because she’s clueless.
If Sanders wins her and Roe Kanna will rise in the ranks. Gain more power.AOC will never become president. A handful of debates and interviews will sink her because she’s clueless.
Don't be so ready to dismiss the youth vote, they made the difference in 1960, 1992 and 2008.We've heard this theory of the youth vote since the 1960s. The thing is young voters become older voters. Look it up. It's true.The twenty & thirtysomethings have generally been dealt a crappy hand. However, Demographics are the most powerful and most under discussed force in economics. As the massive amounts of baby boomers retire more and more, opportunities will open up.
I think that's some bad history there. Obama won in 2008 by over 7% of the vote. 1992 was a complicated, three-way race that can't be concluded to mean anything for voting patterns. 1960 might have had one of the lowest portion of young voters because the small bloc of depression era children were coming of age. The much larger baby boom population was too young.Don't be so ready to dismiss the youth vote, they made the difference in 1960, 1992 and 2008.
Altough I consider Richard Nixon a good but very insecure POTUS,I would argue that one after Kent State.One year where youth voters really made a difference: 1972
In the words of James Carville, "there's a technical term we use for candidates who rely on bringing young voters into the process in order to win: Losers."Don't be so ready to dismiss the youth vote, they made the difference in 1960, 1992 and 2008.
