[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand when people say Sanders is their first choice and Bloomberg is second. So if Bernie doesn't make it, you'll vote for a billionaire Wall Street guy?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

I'll admit, I'd be a reluctant Sanders voter, but can you [i]imagine[/i] 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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

*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.[/quote]

+1.  I am 30.  When I hear "socialism" I think of Sweden.  Real scary.  I just hate IKEA.[/quote]

I'm 36. "Socialist" is not the boogeyman it used to be. [/quote]

You are seriously out of touch.  This is the problem with people who support BS -- it's like they live in their own bubble.  Come up for air!  America will not elect a socialist president.[/quote]

Deja vu all over again. I remember people like you saying "America will not elect a black president".
