Yup yup... though you heard it here first!! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #36

I know you support a Bernie and Elizabeth ticket but Quackers Dec 2019 #116

I appreciate your curiosity... don't feel "picked on" at all. I've had Bernie & Elizabeth InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #135

Reich's lying. He KNOWS this isn't true. Hortensis Dec 2019 #162

He could have just said Warren. TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #2

They are two peas in a pod with their economics. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #23

No, they are not. TidalWave46 Dec 2019 #24

Um. Did you see them on the debate stage defending each other's medicare for all policy? Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #26

You nailed it! Bernie & Elizabeth are basically in tune wit each other & will make one helluva team! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #139

Sanders is surging in the polls and Warren is dropping. StrictlyRockers Dec 2019 #27

100% Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #35

Solidarity StrictlyRockers Dec 2019 #54

Agreed Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #55

I concur that Warren is dropping... brooklynite Dec 2019 #126

Keep your eyes peeled. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #144

Yeah the Sanders surging is mostly aspirational at this point. StrictlyRockers Dec 2019 #154

Thank you! nt sheshe2 Jan 2020 #163

You said it!! The Sanders/Warren team is unstoppable...they will CLOBBER Dolt 45 & his Rethug pals. InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #39

:) Like hell they are! If she doesn't despise him as much as Hortensis Dec 2019 #45

Did you not see them defending each other on m4a on the debate stage? Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #46

No, I didn't watch them. I record the debates but only Hortensis Dec 2019 #48

M4A is far more popular than the ACA ever was. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #49

Only those who don't know what it is. Most of those had Hortensis Dec 2019 #50

ACA had less than 20% support when passed. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #51

You believe what you want. Many very smart, competent and Hortensis Dec 2019 #52

Sure. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #53

M4A is more like prior to 1990s Democratic proposed healthcare plans PufPuf23 Dec 2019 #94

It seems to make more sense... ACA is I think identical to Nixon's proposed plan Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #95

Some sanders supporters are really pushing this concept Gothmog Jan 2020 #164

We're going to elect two Presidents next year? George II Dec 2019 #3

We are going to elect Bernie, and Warren will be his VP. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #5

Why didn't I think of that!! Hahaha!! Bernie & Elizabeth will make one helluva team!! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #40

Bluestate you've been ahead of the game for a while now! Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #44

Thank you for that Tiggeroshii. That's EXACTLY what is going to happen... count on it!! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #136

The left can see the writing on the wall that neither can win a primary...so the idea is to run as Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #7

It's the key to victory, as I've predicted for many years!! Time to face the political reality!! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #42

The reality is that neither Warren nor Sanders will be the nominee...there will be no Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #63

Thanks for bringing the topic back yo reality. Neither will win the primary redstateblues Dec 2019 #132

Obviously that was not what Reich said. nt PufPuf23 Dec 2019 #98

Reich is delusional...Neither Sanders nor Warren will win the nomination nor would they win a Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #6

They are the only candidates that have a shot at bringing in any serious coattails in red or purple Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #8

I think both will lose the EC...Sander has a bit of a chance...but they will be branded socialist... Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #9

When was the last time a candidate was branded socialist? Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #10

Yes, TexasTowelie Dec 2019 #59

Whether or not he accepts it, people who want to believe it, will. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #70

Warren and Sanders are not socialists and Sanders is a social democrat. PufPuf23 Dec 2019 #99

Please don't be condescending to me. TexasTowelie Dec 2019 #106

Seriously that is a 44 second 1989 video of Bernie Sanders. PufPuf23 Dec 2019 #108

Just a heads up Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #110

Thank you. PufPuf23 Dec 2019 #119

Good choice! Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #120

Yes, I can cite at least one specific policy that fits the definition of socialism. TexasTowelie Dec 2019 #131

I would argue that none of those examples fall under the "means of production" taken over by the Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #138

Except that siongle payer is popular among actual voters. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #28

Until the voters learn how much it will cost, TexasTowelie Dec 2019 #62

Single payer is cheaper in every country where it exists. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #64

From an earlier post: guillaumeb Dec 2019 #66

It is not popular. This is why Warren is slipping IMHO. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #65

The insurance profiteers are spending billions to frighten voters. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #68

What is said and posted on DU TexasTowelie Dec 2019 #72

But that narrative of supposed higher cost is untrue. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #73

The thing is that the narrative can't be proven as untrue. TexasTowelie Dec 2019 #75

Alternate facts are believed by some. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #76

I am familiar with Medicare as my sis in law has it and it is not that great...why would I support s Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #88

A professed capitalist and Democrat on the same ticket as a professed socialist and an Independent? beastie boy Dec 2019 #11

I mean, it's about as reasonable. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #12

As fundamental commonalities between Catholics, Orthodox Christians and Protestants are overwhelming beastie boy Dec 2019 #14

The examples of warren and Sanders are just a little less charged Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #16

Just a little bit. But you got to start somewhere! beastie boy Dec 2019 #22

It may not have been clear... Newest Reality Dec 2019 #13

I think in order for Warren people to get behind Bernie in the primaries, she would NEED to VP. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #17

Agree, and the reason is they ENERGIZE the base more than others at140 Dec 2019 #77

This is not a base election...this is an EC election...and the voters we need are not 'base' voters. Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #89

May be, but very few elections are won without the base at140 Dec 2019 #96

Much of the base is AA voters and Sanders and Warren do not do well with this base...those Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #127

What is Reich's skill set at political analysis? brooklynite Dec 2019 #112

Hey, he can dismiss moderates as "milquetoast moderates." Leftwingers will adore him. highplainsdem Dec 2019 #118

Far more skill at political analysis than you and Buttigieg PufPuf23 Dec 2019 #123

I don't disagree that Reich can explain his conclusions, I disagree with the basis of his conclusion brooklynite Dec 2019 #124

Reich is probably too direct and uncomfortably correct too often PufPuf23 Dec 2019 #125
