That's a crazy helpful site. Thanks for sharing.

NYEHH!

Jk, yeah, this site is amazing, thanks.

They're just mad that she's an attractive young POC

Scandalous! clutches pearls

I'm surprised Project 2025 doesn't call for a ban on dancing.

What was Boebert doing before she got her GED at like 30?

You're totally ignoring that she had her hair done and stuff

I already love their crying haha. Its so funny

As a fan of Bernie this fantastic news, I want to hug the scroll if it can be corroborated.

Pretty close to it, yeah.

Sanders is more of a populist and idealist, while Harris is more pragmatic. Sanders has voted against a lot of things that were 95% positive because they had 5% awful shit, while Harris (and Warren, for that matter) would tend to vote for them to get policy points through. That means that while Sanders remains 'pure', Harris (and, again, Warren) end up being more effective.

Bernie is pushing for what is standard governmental procedures in areas of Europe like France, Germany, Sweden, or Norway

Mostly. She didn't quite make that mark but she is between Sanders and Warren ideologically.

If the stats lean closer to Bernie's record than others (I'd have to do some research to see, but let's assume) then it's still more of an indication she'll be better than the others she's being compared to on major issues. Biden is on record saying he wouldn't sign a bill for universal healthcare, but he's still better than Trump overall.

Shouldn't those garbage bills have basically the same votes from nearly all democrat senators? So they wouldn't really affect the differences that much, right?

It also doesn't count progressive bills that died in committee before getting a real vote.

It's not accurate. But she did vote closer to him than most other Democrats.

She's a good person and a political pragmatist, who is willing to concede a point to gain ten. She has, like most intelligent adults, evolved farther and farther left to embrace reality.

(While those in the the Wrong Wing cling to their assorted bigotries and boogiemen, as they lose all grip on sanity and embrace a venal madman as their Savior.)

For what it's worth, I've helped her in a retail context and she was the good kind of customer.

She was never secret about it. She just got painted as a hard conservative in the 2020 primaries.

Not exactly secret, most of the stuff progressives find objectionable are basically just she had a job that progressives attach to systemic problems and didn't throw her career away by not doing it to be a better progressive.

It's a terrible message for trying to convert ex-republican independents. It's not Trump's welfare policies they object to.

Crazy? No. The timing and optics would be wrong since Sanders wouldn't help Harris' campaign play to its advantages. Finding younger candidates with consistent and (hopefully) progressive records, who aren't currently targets for the Right, and who hold little political baggage, is a better play.

By the same reasoning I think Newsom and Buttigieg aren't good picks even though they'd do well in the role. The new Dem Pres campaign should make sure the Right's propagandists have to work hard at effective attack ads. Running any Left-Wing Face misses this initiative.

For context: I'm still bitter about Bernie being pushed out of previous Presidential campaign runs, still think he was the best choice both times, and know he'd make a great VP.

The age is still an issue. He would be better as an advisor of some kind.

Primary goal for the DNC has to be to distance themselves as much as possible from the age issue. I'm not saying it will be someone young, we're not getting someone like under 45ish, but priority has to be on getting someone who at least comes across as relatively youthful comparatively.

I mean, if people think kamala is very progressive then yes. Age and policy wise. The VP should net you votes you might not otherwise get. A Midwestern pick or similar would probably do well.

She needs to find her Biden just like Obama did

AOC would be a much better pick.

Man I was so frustrated being called a "bernie bro" when more Bernie supporters turned out for Hillary Clinton, including me, than did Hillary Clinton supporters turn out for Barack Obama in 2008. I was tired when national head-to-head polling consistently showed Bernie Sanders outperforming Hillary against Donald Trump. Yet was shoved aside by the same sort of folks who insisted without merit that Biden should stay in the race. Quite literally some of the same people, including former Clinton strategists or the former DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Even feminist leaders like Steinem and Albright claiming young women were just with Bernie because of the boys in a painfully ironic attack... It showed their true colors. The same bullshit patronizing platitudes. Alas, I am quite shocked Democrats actually organically adapted to new data. I'm honestly thrilled.

Don't get me wrong, I know there were trolls; I know there were astroturfers, and it got far worse in 2020. But anyone who actually went to a Bernie rally and conversed with real supporters knew that campaign was the most organic vibrant loving community since Obama's first run, if not more so. Alas, we missed an opportunity.

I would then go on to support Elizabeth Warren in 2020; I would ultimately then go on to vote for Biden.

I am quite happy with her record matching Bernie. Seems like a good sign. I'll be supporting Harris and I'm HOPING Mark Kelly as her running-mate.

Going outside, laying under a tree, and looking up at the sky is a refreshing activity that more people should engage in.

"Biden is too old and incoherent. He will lose."

"Harris is not charismatic. She will lose."

Can't wait to hear why whoever it is will lose if for some reason it isn't Harris.
