Not one sentence of President Sanders legislation can pass without the votes of every Democratic senator who he's decided to taunt as "the Democratic establishment." Currently 14 senators support Medicare For All. Does he plan to insult the rest into voting for it?

It's telling that notorious space cadet Marianne Williamson is endorsing Bernie. It's even more telling that Bernie put her on stage at one of his events today. Why is it that Bernie Sanders ONLY surrounds himself with whack jobs, idiots, weirdos, nihilists, losers, and frauds?

I'm not looking to keep Susan Sarandon either, yet she insists on making her moronic ideas known to the whole world.

By February 2019, Judith had become unbearably anxious. The 28-year-old Pacific coast native’s due date had come and gone. Just two days shy of 45 weeks pregnant, her belly was stretched so far that it shined, her body was swollen, and nearly everything — from her toes to her hair — ached. For women who haven’t gone into labor by 42 weeks, just about every medical and birth professional recommends induction — a jump-start to labor from medicines that ripen the cervix or contract the uterus. But Judith, an artist and freethinker who believes in “all that hippy jazz,” had a different kind of birth plan — one that dismissed medical recommendations and relied on nature and intuition, that rejected a sterile hospital for a warm pool in her own home and that avoided doctors and midwives. Instead, Judith wanted to be with only her husband and her closest friend, a plan known as freebirth, or unassisted birth | On all fours, Judith rode in the back seat while her husband drove to a nearby hospital, where a team of nurses and doctors attached a monitor to her belly and made quick preparations to deliver her baby. But as Judith rode the wave of another contraction, the room quieted and a doctor stepped forward. There was no heartbeat. | “I think I brainwashed myself with the internet.”

The more free he promises the more his support increases. This is an unhinged mindset, similar to that of the blind faith maga people. Sanders’s “free” is equal to Trump’s “Mexico will pay for the wall”. No one believes it... but they are willing to hope for it. The worst part is that as he demonizes the Democratic Party 24/7 which means Republicans will win most of their elections in 2020.

The DNC has a rule that would have banned Shitstain Sanders from running as a Democrat. They waived the rule in 2016 and allowed him to run because of his decades caucusing with the Democrats and mostly voting with Democrats plus his promise to join the party formally if they let him run. He lied and dropped party affiliation the moment he lost the primary. He lies a lot. They waived the rule again in 2020 because if they didn't he told them he would run third party (which would be even worse than what he is doing now.) So not only is the establishment not plotting against him, they have bent over backwards to be nice to him at every step of the way while happily calls for the destruction of the Democratic party.

There is no fucking establishment, just like there is no "mainstream media." There are just people with varying degrees of power and competing interests. The universe is indifferent. There's no order, that's a defensive mechanism of weak minds. There is only chaos and the will to push it back.

I agree 100% that Sanders would be toughest challenger for Trump because Sanders and his campaign and his base are just as nasty and hateful than Trump/Republicans, if Sanders is the nominee, Trump/Republicans won't know what hit them when Sanders and Team Sanders turn their vicious vile terrorist attacks on them.

“Make no mistake: Bernie Sanders's comments on Fidel Castro are a part of a larger pattern throughout his life to embrace autocratic leaders and governments across the globe. He seems to have found more inspiration in the Soviets, Sandinistas, Chavistas, and Castro than in America"

Buttigieg tweeted the clip of Sanders praising Castro....: After four years of looking on in horror as Trump cozied up to dictators, we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad. We can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this.

At the risk of stating the obvious, if you're debating the relative merits of different communist dictators, you're losing.

Ongoing dumpster fire at Bernie's campaign: deputy campaign manager denies Bernie ever considered primarying Obama despite videos and audios that prove otherwise

Warren introduced her plan for free public childcare and childhood schooling one year ago this week... But of course Bernie gets all the credit for introducing the same policy this week.
