Sanders can't win the general election--why are people so blind to that?

I have heard repeatedly on this board that Sharpton is not the “spokesperson” for the AA community.
So, why has Sanders chosen to meet with him?

How is this any different from Hillary giving a speech at Goldman Sachs?

What will Bernie owe Sharpton? Or AAs in general?

Hypocrite.

I guess logical thinking is not your strong suit to offer this analogy!

You do realize that Hillary has been courting the AA and Hispanic vote forever. And she has not been charging her usual rate for speeches!

Yes, I get it...but I don't think you do.

All politicians court voters. If Sanders sits down with Sharpton, he's making promises. He's negotiating.

It's actually far worse than Hillary's stupid generic speech at GS since it involves a one on one with Sharpton. He'll be beholden to him. Bernie is no different than any other politician. Sorry to burst your bubble.

You have a lot to learn about life and politics.

Not pp, but tell us oh Wise One, what this means then

Yep. Because they've been brainwashed by the Right's constant Hillary bashing for the last 25 years. Pathetic.

Saw on FB today that some undecided voter is torn between Sanders and Cruz...wtf? That sort of shit is emblematic of the power of manipulation. The Right succeeded in painting the most competent female presidential candidate as a She Devil.

At the end of Bill Clinton presidency, I half started to believe the propoganda about the Clintons. ,then I saw them demonize Kerry and Obama. Sanders is going to be destroyed by them, there is no new material Hillary.

I'll admit, I'd be a reluctant Sanders voter, but can you imagine the dirt they could find and spin on him? And it'd all be so fresh, unlike all the old dirt they've tried on Clinton.

Let's guess what they'll dig up or straight up lie about.

Another out-of-wedlock hippie dippie love child? Too easy.

Drug fueled sex romps? Probably.

Secret luxury villa in the Caymans? Perhaps.

There's no need to lie or make stuff up. People in this country HATE socialism. I know that seems surmountable to people listening to their filtered social media feeds, their liberal blogs, their friends who have the same exact positions as them but that is the reality and even if you could change hearts and minds on such a massive scale, is that really going to happen by November? Look - I get voting for Sanders - even if it's just a protest vote, those are not totally worthless in a democracy. However, anyone who thinks he has any chance whatsoever in the general is in absolute and ridiculous denial. I almost hope he does get the nomination so that we can experience another landslide republican win like we had in the 80s with Reagan or with Nixon/McGovern. Not that I want a president trump or Cruz but it seems that a massive national drubbing every few decades is what ultra-liberals in this country demand for whatever reason.

*shrug*

The people who "hate socialism" either grew up in far right wing households or are in their 60s and older. That's a fact.

You think Sweden is representative of socialism and that it would translate similarly in the U.S. ?!

So, an opinion article that cites a Time story from 1976 as its main source is a "good overview?" I don't think so.

And if you read the article carefully it actually manages to defeat its own point and suggests that entrepreneurship and democratic socialism can co-exist!

And this isn't a problem for sanders because he'll wave his magic messiah wand and make these people disappear before the election? Sorry reality is so inconvenient and old and gross.

I will miss Mr. Obama

[Anonymous]

I've reviewed the websites of the major candidates. Rubio and Bush are just more of GWB - more tax cuts and unfunded wars. Cruz's platform is downright crazy. There's no way Trump's tax plan adds up. Meanwhile Bernie wants to increase spending for the greater good and increase taxes to pay for it. How the hell is the self-proclaimed socialist more fiscally conservative (not driving up the debt) than the supposed conservatives? This is especially confusing when you realize that Obama's spending has been such a problem for Republicans.

Well, don't worry. It's not your dad's idea of Cold War socialism or whatever other non-relevant things that you are worrying about. Sorry to disappoint but Sanders is not Stalin.
