According to @axios, Bernie Sanders plans to use the Senate reconciliation process to push through Medicare for All, Green New Deal, free college, etc., and have his VP overrule the parliamentarian if needed to get it done: bit.ly/2OT5CMQ
@axios This kind of stuff has made me skeptical of polls showing that Bernie has a general election lead over Trump. In a general election, the most irresponsible and unpopular aspects of Sanders’ agenda and history will be litigated. Much of it is being ignored in the primaries.

Only 45% of voters would even consider voting for a socialist. 53% say no

How about one who is 5 years older than the oldest President in history, who just had a heart attack & cardiac surgery who is likely to name someone like Tulsi Gabbard as his VP?

Bernie Sanders has a history captured on video. His supporters aren't thinking. "Socialism is like Social Security, free college and health care like in Scandinavian countries. Socialist isn't a bad word."

Bernie wasn't in Scandinavian countries

We keep dicking around w this & just like what happened to Republicans in 2016, the cult of personality is going to win because rational voters split

Bush, Rubio, Kaisch - split the votes

Trump's cult stuck together.

We have to unite. No one else has support across our base

If we aren’t to sift through the facts and differentiate between candidates during a Primary then why are we having a Primary in the first place?

What are the differences between @SenWarren and @SenSanders?

Unpopular opinion: There is no moderate voter to be won in the 2020 election, and the response to the #DemocraticDebate shows just how little the Left understands this. (Thread)
I heard/read so many people say, "Oh, but Bernie/Warren shouldn't say Medicare For All/Green New Deal/etc. because we're going to lose the moderates/undecideds/on the fence-ers, electability, blah blah blah." This assumes two misunderstandings.
A) That we can change a (current) Trump voter into a Democrat voter and
B) That the choices are Trump or Electable Dem X

This is just wrong.

Thread: The Star Wars Bar Scene (a/k/a the Democrat Presidential Wannabes)

1. Do you recall the Star Wars bar scene at Mos Eisley spaceport in “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope”? A shocking collection of strange-looking aliens! Here’s a reminder:
2. I don’t know about you, but they remind me of a subset of the Democrat presidential field this year – not in terms of looks, but rather in terms of strange and cockamamie ideas and ideology! Let’s take a look at the Democrats’ own Star Wars bar scene:
3. First of all, they are more alike than they are different, policy-wise. They all support amnesty/open borders, green nonsense, various forms of gov't-run medicine, elimination of school debt, and other socialist claptrap supported by the likes of the “Justice Democrats.”

Socialist AOC was created by Democratic Socialists of America, Brand New Congress, Justice Democrats, & George Soros's "The Media Consortium."
We all know AOC was promoted by DSA as an open, self-declared socialist.

This may be the group we are the most familiar with, but NOT the driving force behind this movement!

"DSA shows their muscle in New York congressional upset" news.yahoo.com/democratic-soc…
AOC was created mainly by Brand New Congress, Justice Democrats, & George Soros's "The Media Consortium." BNC, co-founded by Saikat Chakrabarti, began as 20 Bernie 2016 Staffers, trying to organize mini-Bernie canidates for 2018 Midterm primaries, for all Congressional districts.
