Not going to lie, it looks like Bernie's momentum is unstoppable. That announcement couldn't have been more perfect. I still think Biden would edge him in a primary RN, but that could easily change
It's February

Yeah, Biden’s gearing up for a run and he very well may have an even better announcement.

The announcement is meaningless. Nobody should fool themselves into thinking the public cares about any of that stuff. Biden has a very real chance of winning the nomination because nobody's gonna care about his platform, positions, or record. Just lol when Atlas says: "Just wait till his record is exposed." Dude...nobody cares. Northam has a higher approval rating with blacks AFTER the blackface scandal than with whites. The idea that Biden's gonna "be exposed," or his latent racist record used against him is nonsense. The voters dont give a shít.

Here's to hoping he's a paper tiger who implodes but be prepared for another Northam chosen over Pierello situation.

Biden will get nowhere. He's a MeToo waiting to happen.

This is something that I agree with. I fear that Biden would be a trainwreck for this reason.

Well considering we're usually told to shut up and get back in line when we do . . .

Get in line for what exactly? And who is “we” in this context?

You are not an American citizen. You cannot vote for Bernie Sanders.

Do you, you know, have any other line of attack? Because It's not a very good one.

Being told that you’re unable to vote in American elections is an attack now?

Well for starters, I actually know I'm not American, believe it or not. But believe it or not, I am allowed to express my views on American politics. To take your argument to a logical extreme, it would mean no one is allowed to post in anything not directly related to their own country.

Curious about your reasoning here - care to elaborate?

Yeah they’re departure makes me even more likely to support Bernie now. Tad Devine is the one most responsible for the anti-Hillary animosity back in the Dem primary.

I think Jeff Weaver was/is the worst. And he still seems to have Sanders's ear.

Good for Sanders!  Devine is a first-class slimeball, to say the least.

ye. Trump basically nullifies any MeToo stuff anyway, since he cant use that attack line.

Biden could very well be a paper tiger who collapses but the busing stuff will be a non-issue. More thsn half of Democratic primary voters probably don't even know what busing was.

Harris might attack him for it since she claims she wouldn't have become a lawyer without busing.

That would require for her to argue that busing was good and should be brought back, which is a tough sell even in the Black Community: keep in mind that:

1) the typical tactic was to bus black kids from poor Black neighborhoods into poor White neighborhoods, NOT into suburban middle & upper class white ones
2) many opposed busing for non-racial reasons: would you really want to get your kids up at 5:30 AM so they could ride the bus for 2 hours each way?
3) busing was a major contributor to white flight and urban sprawl, and these need to be reigned in if we’re going to have any sort of Green New Deal

Another thing to note is that busing is usually only within 1 school district. I've heard that rents on the Piedmont side of a street can be over $1000 more than the rent on the Oakland side of the street because of course most people would rather their kid go to Piedmont and not Oakland schools.

I signed up for this event but I don't really feel like making the commute. If I leave now it would take a little over two hours to arrive. As someone who isn't a fan of cold snowy weather and was never a Bernie acolyte, I guess I'll find some other time to show up on camera.

You hear Democratic establishment,

Bernie is running a 50-state campaign. The way it should be.

If Bernie wins the nomination, he would be smart to do a Kerry-Edwards train-tour type campaign in the heartland.

You're right. They're secretly socialist, but they just don't know it yet. If only Democrats stopped talking about identity politics they'd come home.

She voted for Jill Stein and encouraged others to do so as well.
