Political polarization is a bigger national security threat than Russia, China and Iran combined.

How do you plan to solve that? (If your answer is national service, please escort yourself out)

Having a one party system would solve the polarization issue and also save hundreds of millions of dollars that are wasted every year on unnecessary elections and primaries.

I agree, as long as the Democrats are the only party

Sounds like I should be happy I boycotted watching it. I will tune back in when there's 6 or less people on the stage.

yeah, there are limits to how much billionaires can donate. This will happen to Pete also, soon enough.

The Chinese Communist Party liked that.

@n0el smh Bernie corrupted by big money. Biden is better because he has less

just to rub it in your face, frenshy
You seem to want to support a winner. Time to eat humble pie, or support Bernie
Here comes BERNIE

[fightinfrenchman]

Me being humble is supporting Warren

Of course. I'm not even voting in the primary or donating to anyone

I don't understand this optimism.. It's not looking good for him at all. Are we following the same primary?

[spanky4ever]

we are indeed @Goodspeed and these endorsements are the biggest one could ask for, from the progressive movement. My guess is that Biden will soon be gone, and we are left with Sanders vs Warren, THEN and NOW, this really matters imo

it is looking fine for him. only the media is obsessed with him being out of it

[Goodspeed]

Yeah when the media reports something you don't like, it's not true. Classic. From where I'm sitting it's not looking good for him, and I don't get my news from places that are in any way anti-Sanders. Extremely biased in favor of him, if anything.
For the record, betting markets don't like his chances either. That's people who put their money where their mouth is, unlike you or I.

I think many polls are not "getting it", and the mainstream media is mostly about smearing Bernie.
The Sanders policies are extremely popular, and he is the reason we are debating very important issues NOW. The other candidates are copy cats, picking and choosing, and I hope the voters will be aware of that, before casting their vote. I also think this will be all about turn out, and that so many ppl that do not bother to vote for the lesser of 2 evils, will be out there, voting for the only candidate that has fought for them for half a century.
That is what I am hoping for, and that is what I believe.

Lol I love how Hillary Clinton has a higher yes price (and a lower no price) than Kamala Harris. May be they should have invited her to the debate yesterday!

[Goodspeed]

Yeah I guess if she runs again she has a chance. With those odds it might be a decent gamble. It does feel like time's running out on that one though.

@spanky4ever I vote in Republican primaries
