Also, am I correct in my understanding that Bloomberg isn't on the SC ballot? Why is he allowed to participate in this shit again?

One of the main theories of the case for Sanders I’ve bought into is by organizing disenfranchised communities into mass movements in the same way labor did in the 1930s, you can redistribute the power from the federal government, which otherwise will continue to look like this. https://t.co/on9QHDDysg— Peter Labuza (@labuzamovies) February 24, 2020

I guess my counterargument would be they used this same argument against Trump in 2016 and it turned out the group of Republican voters who would sit out if it was Trump (or "hold their nose and vote for Hillary") wound up being like, 5 people

If the GOP is smart they won't focus on personal attacks but just keep repeating that the market will crash if Sanders is elected.

I have a very hard time believing that the Republicans who say they’d vote for a more moderate candidate over Trump would actually do so when the election comes.

fwiw though I do think Bernie would be the guy Trump would have the most trouble with; he's not "establishment", he's not boring, he doesn't have ties to the Clintons, not to mention that Trump, the guy who promises everything under the sun, is gonna have difficulty with the "better things aren't possible" line

Give Joe Walsh credit for consistency:
This isn’t complicated. “Never Trump,” “never-Trump” or, if you prefer, #NeverTrump has always been a straightforward concept — the word “never” is right there in the name. But with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) moving ahead of the pack as the clear front-runner in this year’s Democratic presidential primaries, some of my Republican and ex-Republican brethren have started implying that what never-Trump actually meant was something more like: fingers-crossed-I-really-really-hope-not-Trump-but-I-guess-sometimes-Trump if Democrats wind up nominating a self-described democratic socialist. But that’s not how this works.
I mean, I get it. They’re chafing at the thought of voting for a guy who calls his movement a “political revolution,” talks nonstop about Medicare-for-All (but talks a lot less about how he’ll pay for it) and who said “it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad” about Fidel Castro — not in a stray comment back in his radical heyday, but in a “60 Minutes” interview earlier this week. And I sympathize: My congressional career was short-lived, but I came in with the original tea party wave. If it were up to me, Sanders isn’t the guy I’d put in charge.
But when I finally came around to saying, “never Trump,” I meant it. And if you’re a Republican who claimed the never-Trump label as a badge of honor during the last few years, to prove to the world that you’re a principled conservative, and not a Trump dupe, then you should have meant it, too.

for those who can't read it:
In 2016, sadly, I supported Trump. I freely admit that I’m a second-wave never-Trumper. But once I got here, it was always my plan to stay. Because, for me, the ways in which Trump threatens this country go beyond left-right ideology. He lies constantly. He grants pardons to toadies. He conflates America’s financial interests with his own. He uses his bully pulpit to air a never-ending, year-round list of Festivus grievances.
He surrounds himself with lackeys and purges staff who won’t do his bidding. He’s an authoritarian who once said, with a straight face, “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want.” That’s a bigger threat to America than free college, a $15-per-hour minimum wage and Glass-Steagall part deux. Yes, I’m a fiscal conservative who still worries about the national debt. But not as much as I worry about Trump wrecking my country.

maybe we can use a portion of the money we save from eliminating the significantly more expensive healthcare plans we have now
Yes, I’m a fiscal conservative who still worries about the national debt.
well then perhaps you should stop voting for the party that explodes it every time they get into office
i'm glad these people aren't voting Trump but jfc they're still dumb as rocks
