    so as an aside, my reasoning as to why bernie has been as “reserved” against his opponents is this -

    bernie couldn’t afford to be attacking people directly during the debates, at least not to the degree these other candidates could. we have to realize this is likely Bernie’s last campaign, one that has been exceedingly crowded at that. one where there have been COUNTLESS attempts at gimping Bernie utilizing low hanging fruit, both in ads and on stage.

    COMMUNIST, SEXIST, CRAZY. at bernie f***ing sanders. who, for all intents and purposes, has a history of being on the right side of virtually every issue that makes him a TEFLON DON as far as dirt goes (he the Pusha T of this s***) But because he was virtually standing by himself among a pack of hungry wolves, this man had to control the narrative as best he could. he couldn’t afford to get dragged into the same petty tactics his opponents were using, because regardless, this man will ALWAYS be held to a double standard among the general public, largely bc of just residual red scare.

    the last thing this man needed was to look like a raving lunatic like they were painting him, and regardless if he came wit FACTS, facts don’t win a screaming match. best to rise above and bite your tongue, considering everything involved and the fact Bernie ALWAYS had a strong enough base to carry him at least this far. and instead, possibly, help dispel any hysteria they try to paint you with by just being the most reasonable and respectful candidate

    but BIDEN ????? GLOVES OFF MASK OFF LETS F***ING GO BOYSSSSSS the rules are different now, it’s TIME

    feel this is worth quoting again because it’s also a reason why Bernie has not been going guns blazing on the democrat establishment thus far, as well

    HOWEVER, now that Biden is effectively the face of the democrat establishment, Sanders can ATTACK HIM instead of the party as a whole, while still getting the message across and not scaring off potential voters in the process

    Trump is a republican who was primarying in a party that doesn’t pride itself on kindness. The whole conservative agenda is focused on smaller government roles and working hard to get what you want and less handouts for the lazy. Democrats are all about acting nice to minorities and the poor, so Bernie being a bully like trump wasn’t would just turn off liberal voters. Also democratic voters are generally more educated than republican ones so they’re not going for the aggression

    You realize most evangelicals are pussies right? What Trump did hasn’t happened before. Trump was the first to do it in that manner and completely demolished his party with ease.

    Trump said F*** the GOP, f*** the establishment, it’s about the middle America. And focused on that while exposing the candidates.

    I mean a lot of his supporters are childish. But yeah bernie himself has been just as “hostile” as anyone else running. In fact, he’s even been nicer than some

    well yeah but that’s largely contained to just twitter people yelling at each other, yet the media has still put a magnifying glass to their every move and tried their best to liken it to like some similar far right movement

    my point being bernie has only played it smart by not giving them more ammunition to run with, forcing them to grasp at straws

    Republican voters are not the same as democratic voters. And Bernie going as far as he gone (which is not far at all) has already been a problem for him, with all these media guys calling him a bully. The only people who would like him calling the DNC out are young people, and as established yesterday, they’re worthless

    f*** the democrat media and twitter base been calling bernie and his supporters bullies for MONTHS now, over literally nothing

    Y’all bully in the worst ways though. Bernie should have been the bully and exposed the candidates in the race.

    He did not. This is why Biden is more likely , because absolutely no candidate exposed him.

    The supporters tried and failed and came off in a horrible light. Should’ve been Bernie to do it (respectfully)

    Money can’t fix this problem friend. You need to think of better ways of exposing the s***ty candidates. Most of that needs to come from Bernie’s mouth

    Yeah, that’s true. And if he’s going to go after Biden he should keep it strictly at policy. Calling him out on being a creep won’t pan it out too well

    peep my posts above, it only makes tactical sense right now to attack Biden as proxy for the establishment, especially with HOW we’ve seen them consolidate now, without actually doing so

    the fact we saw SO MANY voters quickly rally around Biden should show you that far too many of the democrat voting base is content with any sort of democrat establishment, ESPECIALLY if that same establishment can take down Trump

    look i’m not saying i am following their thought process obviously but we have to read the cards as they are

    I think Bernie needs to announce his VP now to steal the headlines from Biden

    who do y'all think would be the best pick strategically?

    If Bernie isn’t capable of attacking candidates and exposing frauds, I’m sorry he is never going to win. The moderates will never be exposed and will win every time because they’re able to successfully convince you that Bernie is too far left.

    I think it’s laughable too that democrats are all nice and don’t like when others attack the party when Biden does the same s*** to Bernie and others no problem. People loved when warren did it to Bloomberg.

    Maybe Bernie is better off as VP if he isn’t capable of exposing his opponents, which is what he needs to win.

    This is what I’m saying, attack his policies and put a conservative light on him. The same way Biden put Bernie in a bad light.

    You don’t need to completely insult the guy, but what he is doing now is definitely not helping him at all and only hurting.
