  1. Lol, very odd back-handed compliment.
  2. I don't think he'll win South Carolina, but you're foolish to think they aren't trying as hard as possible to drum up support.
  3. @bad_teammate Not sure if you'll catch this, but if you aren't familiar with Phillip Agnew he's a surrogate who has been in a few Bernie videos, most notably one where he talked to a bunch of PoC in Miami (or maybe South Florida in general) and he helped moderate it. Nina Turner is awesome, but it's so clear he's going to be going on to bigger things.
  4. Huh, God damn Bernie quit being a transphobe.
  5. I'm going to be shocked if this doesn't happen soon. I think it was Morning Edition on NPR, but multiple lawyers and judges were interviewed about this very question and there's even confusion if you can discharge student debt via bankruptcy now and that this notion of "all student debt is frozen from bankruptcy" has caused lots of people to not even try.
  6. This so much better, I really can't see this making a bunch of people not vote for Bernie now in the primary whereas he knows it may give him the nomination and possible presidency reaching a bunch of chuds unfortunately.
  7. A lot of cis and trans women of all races have been more vocal about it being offensive this year. Those three people I follow would probably be more offended about being called Bernie-Bros as opposed to the Sanders' campaign highlighting Rogan's support.
  8. Clymer hates Bernie and always has. Oh look I found trans people who are saying differently, huh All three of those are people who I've followed well before this. Like B_T said, I'd rather hear from the few trans people we have on this board.
  9. I mean I have actual trans friends who are okay with this, they aren't maybe happy but they understand it's an election. I do eagerly await for you to blame the bros again for helping re-elect Trump if Bernie gets the nomination. For as much as you want to talk about Rogan being a bigot, it'd help your case if you'd drop the Bernie-Bros insult.
  10. I forget how long ago, but Cohn posted about one of the recent Iowa polls where Bernie was up by 3 or 4 points and noted that it included people who either caucused as Republican in 2016 or didn't caucus at all and that Bernie may be getting underestimated in other polls. Going to be funny to see if this pushes him over the edge in Iowa.
  11. Biden's team doesn't seem fun,
  12. Are we also just ignoring that basically every candidate, according to Rogan, wanted to get on his show to gain more support?
  13. You may have changed in the past few years, but you absolutely gave off a very libertarian-esque vibe not long ago with respect to massively changing our institutions. That may not be fair, but I'll leave it at that.
  14. I agree with the first part of your post. For this though, I don't think anyone here who isn't afraid of large scale student debt forgiveness would say that that's the only thing that needs to happen. Most of us are for massive, it not outright completely, subsidizing the cost of public college education. I'm sure you'll give me a diatribe how that is stupid and would wreck the economy, but a few regulations that can get peeled back later don't give me much hope.
  15. It's possible parents, who grew up when college was a hell of a lot more affordable or perhaps didn't go to college at all, may not be the most responsible either. At any rate bandaid fixes aren't going to stem the tide unless we start pushing for drastic change.
  16. God damn, have you like maybe paid attention at all to the insane cost of tuition and living in this country in the past 10-20 years? It's not an option if you want to earn enough to afford to purchase any kind of permanent decent (i.e. not in need of serious repair) housing without having to live way in the suburbs or exurbs. I'm sure your next reply will be "go to a trade school! the world needs skilled trade workers!" in which case, sure, yeah, I'll be down with that when we completely rollback the past 30-40 years of deregulation and active harm done to unions in this country. When we let these skilled workers actually have 50% representation on a company's board, when we federally mandate PAID FMLA/maternity/paternity leave, when we do so so much to protect these peoples' jobs so that they can try to earn a living without taking on massive debt in the hopes that they will get paid a higher salary.
  17. Yes, Dropout is being 100% serious.
  18. It's either that or forced labor/re-education camps later on.
  19. Honestly that's a good point by both.
  20. idk given who his supporters are, many of them honestly are probably Joe Rogan listners. You may be right. What I'm very annoyed about is why the criticism now is why didn't we see a wave of this when he went on the show in the first place? Both things seem to give him just as much of a platform and I think it's being cynically deployed now by people who are angry he's polling so well.
  21. REEEE everything, wages, tuition, healthcare costs, EVERYTHING is the same as it was as it has always been regardless of data!
  22. I'm 100% posting about gulags and Antifa Super Soldiers if we get some knuckle-dragging shitheads that normally avoid CR because it's no longer a right-wing echo chamber.
  23. This board is going to break if Bernie wins the nomination. Between Hugo, the centrist libs that act like he won't get a single thing done, the never-Trumpers who act like the country would overnight descend into chaos and goddammit you forced them to vote for Gary Johnson again, and the right wingers who would start to post that wouldn't have voted for any Democratic candidate but disingenuously claim they would.
  24. I seriously doubt Obama says anything, he'd be absolutely helping Trump win again.
  25. Yes, I do agree that Republicans actually think he'll be the easiest to defeat because he isn't going to shy away from being labeled a "socialist." I think they're being incredibly stupid if Bernie's strategy of getting people who didn't vote in 2016 to come out and especially young voters works. It's a strategy that is a bit of a gamble, but we'll find out very soon in this primary based on voting results if it's working.
