Re: Democratic Primary
The DNC screwed him out of the last one. He shouldn't have missed any, but yea, I'm definitely glad he's back on. I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people with the Iowa results. There's a lot of chatter about 1/3 or more of his support being conservatives and new voters who don't really get represented in the polls. I'm pretty confident he comes away with a few delegates come caucus time.

Re: Democratic Primary
I'm still astounded that people would support Bernie honestly. His policies are terrible. Someone pointed out that his policies CANNOT survive in any feasible economy that exists today. Warren at least makes an uneducated stab at trying to pay for this nonsense with the Wealth Tax, which is also absurd. Shapiro did a great "by the numbers" on the wealth tax. There are 607 billionaires in the U.S. today. The cumulative Wealth (wealth, not income, but wealth which is literally the $ amount of everything they own both in the US and abroad) of them is $7T. If we imposed a 100% wealth tax, which would completely strip them of everything including their businesses, down to the shirt on their back, we wouldn't be able to afford 1 year of Bernie or Warren's plans. What do you do in year two?
Also, I saw that someone said that Bernie is not about identity politics. That is a complicated issue. He doesn't outwardly talk about race and gender as much as other candidates... I'll agree with that. However, he is also THE most cowardly when it comes to the cancel-crowd. He has taken back support or endorsements from virtually every single person that the cancel-crowd opposed. Joe Rogan supported him and Bernie shared that tweet. The cancel crowd determined that Joe Rogan is 'bad' and almost immediately Bernie deleted his tweet. His entire career he has done that. He refuses to defend anyone, or put his name on anything that requires him to explain it. He is spineless and has no morality in my opinion because of this. If he won't go to bat for you, when you've gone to bat for him... what kind of man is he?
He's had an entire career where he is "independent" yet runs to the DNC when he needs money or cover. He hasn't had one political ally longer than a news cycle. He was a communist, but when that wasn't working he was a socialist, and when that wasn't working he was a Democrat, and when that wasn't working he's now a "Democratic Socialist" which isn't a thing... it is entirely made up. The only things he will defend is his own breathless hypocrisy... "You want to be a millionaire? Then write a best selling book!!!!" he screams at his OWN supporters... Bernie is the MOST immoral and weak-willed of the candidates. I suppose that is why he has such support from the Beta-crowd."Always remember that you are absolutely unique.

Re: Democratic Primary
You are wrong about two things here.
1. Bernie never recanted his support from Rogan. The tweet is still up and you can google and pull it up right now.
2. Democratic socialism has been a thing for a while going back to MLK specifically citing that exact term. I'm not necessarily a fan of it because of the numbers problem, but Bernie definitely didn't pull it out of his rear end. MLK was killed by the government as soon as he started to break away from civil rights and venture into the fight for democratic socialism and a different economy.

Re: Democratic Primary
WOW! You are correct.. he actually kept the Joe Rogan one. I'm shocked. That is a first for him not to puss-out! I apologize. As for Democratic Socialism... I'm saying that Bernie just switched to it fairly recently because it is a popular term. Just because MLK mentioned it doesn't mean it is real. Great men and women aren't 100% on good ideas. It is a form of government that physically cannot exist within the human condition. It is EXACTLY what warlords impose because it is a nonsense term. So everyone votes for what we are going to do all the time, regardless of any situational conditions. So what if they get a majority vote on something horrific like Nazism? That is the short story of Nazism... nothing they did was illegal per their own government, and the people very much supported it. Centralized Governance is fine in a very small box (ie., a small company of under 50 people) where there is limited geography, and clear purpose. The second you get too many people, too large of a regionality, and an ill-defined purpose (large government) then it fails. It is why we are a republic. It is why large companies break down into segments. Centralized control of too many people doesn't work... period. Never has in the history of the world, and never will. All it takes is one up/down vote to oppress 5million people at the behest of 7million.

Re: Democratic Primary
His best bet would be a run with Gabbard as an Independent.
