Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)The View Triggered After Bernie Sanders Takes Lead [View all]
My gawd, you'd think Whoopi just escaped from the USSR. Does she REALLY want Sanders to start his own third party and run?
I think these privileged high paid hosts are rapidly distancing themselves from their initial audience. I think there is this unfounded fear in the circle of privileged entertainment stars, that Sanders is BAD for the Democrats chances. Maybe they should look at the polls from Democrats themselves and respect their preferences. Here's a thought: maybe a lot of Democrats actually WANT Sanders to run and win, as a Democrat. Sanders beats Trump in polls. No logic in their paranoia. Could it be they are enjoying Trump's tax cuts to the wealthy? and know who is going to take those away?

I wish you would have warned us this was Kasparian, NOT Whoopi Goldberg doing most of the talking...

The title of your OP is: "The View Triggered After Bernie Sanders Takes Lead". No?

A. Bernie hasn't taken the lead. B. "Triggered" is right-wing framing and title of DJTJr's book

Yes, especially towards women and people of color. The RW NEVER refers to them that

Whoever wrote it for him used the title. The only triggering he does is when he's slaughtering

They did that with the word Liberal, they did it with socialism. They don't own any fucking words.

when/if she drops out, most of her supporter will move to Biden, not Buttigieg.

Used to like Kasparian, but she's turned into this weird Bernie cultist like Krystal Ball.

When polls come out showing Bernie on top, "triggered" is not the word I'd use.
