My other favorite, admitted Bernie was not doing well, in the debate. I almost fell off my chair. I congratulated him for his honesty, he did not reply. I think others are sick of his annoyances, they have been calling him out on it.

Interesting about that, I wondered if she/he works for the pretend to be black, and steer opinion away from the popular to the less popular. Remember the "Walk away" phony campaign that they tried to make happen?

Ha! I wasn't around for the debate, but I would have liked to have seen that.

I posted an article from Jon Chait about how Democrats had looked at Bernie's "success" in 2016, back when he lost to Clinton in the primary, and they decided to embrace his agenda, because clearly it was a winner, when he couldn't even beat Clinton during the Democratic primary. I think a lot of people who supported him did so for the same reasons people supported Trump - he's different! He'll do something for me! I knew Bernie would never win in a general election, because Republicans were being so quiet about him, because they KNEW they had a shit ton of toxic material to use against him in a general election. Trump still talks about poor Bernie, and how Dems were so mean to him, mainly because he wants to run against the most socialist candidate we can find.

I'm not sure why Democrats can't get our shit together enough to win against a highly unpopular sitting president, but I really feel like that's what is going to happen, because we decided Bernie Sanders was the direction the country wanted to go. God help us all.

I was hoping you'd show up during the FTP2020 episode. She got called out by multiple people when she said "if Biden's the nominee, black women are just going to stay home." I find it odd that a black woman wouldn't know that Biden's main support is from black women. I always suspected she was a right wing troll. She'd actually been acting more like a regular poster recently. Maybe she came here to divide us, and ended up being influenced by our cat picks and dick jokes. I'm sure she'll be back.
