Even if he doesn't win, he's doing something pretty amazing: he's allowing liberals to stand up and be uber-liberal. In public. - ty97 Feb 2, 06:15 23
- This is something that is very true. Fuck "Progressive". You can call me a "Liberal"... - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:24 1
  - It's funny how "liberal" is also a dirty word here.. - Marlowe Feb 2, 06:29
- Obama didn't do this in 2008? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 2, 06:23 2
  - Not like Bernie, not at all. The man is a self described socialist calling for socialist style programs. - ty97 Feb 2, 06:25 1
    - Yup yup, shameless gun-toting Liberal -- nm - budice Feb 2, 06:30

- I guess that's a nice bonus but not enough for me. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 06:17 16
  - Do you wanna win the long game, or get a useless Bernie presidency now? -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 06:17 15
    - I want to see what Bernie is talking about becoming US policy. I don't care if it's him or someone else. It's certainly not Hillary. - Krusty Feb 2, 06:24 7

        But what I care about are his policies when he got into office. I want another New Deal for America. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 06:30 3
        
        that would require a liberal majority in both parts of congress, which is probably a bigger dream than bernie winning. - Truman Feb 2, 06:36

        Obama choked so hard in the first two years. It still kills me today. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 06:33
      - But here's reality: these things won't be policy during the next four years, regardless of who is president. You have to realize this. - ty97 Feb 2, 06:26 1
        
        Mind you, I'm not telling you to stop supporting Bernie. I love the fire he is lighting in people hearts. - ty97 Feb 2, 06:28

      - and let's not forget - the genesis of this, I think, can be seen as OWS. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:28 4

        Tax Cuts? The ones Obama continued? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 2, 06:29 2
        
        made "permanent" - sure. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:37

      - Absolutely. If I thought he could win the general, if I thought he could get stuff done, I'm there. -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 06:20
If he had a chance and had details other than promising everyone a lollipop - I'd totally be in. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:11 7

  - I'm not even desiring someone to "get things done". I think the GOP is so blood crazed right now that something like that is impossible. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:32
  - But get what done? Things that don't advance the country? -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 06:26 1

- He put out a detailed plan that you can read and see how he's going to pay for everything. He's not just promising things without a plan. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 2, 06:15 2
  - Right, but the bottom line is that he can't accomplish *any* of it in our current political environment. - ty97 Feb 2, 06:16 1
