But they let him into their tent and have to own it... or cheat, and expose themselves to the same sort of ire they got when they did the same in 2016. Bernie supporters should either do what they did last time they screwed him (vote Trump), or write in Bernie's name. It would be hilarious to see Bernie's write in votes get more than whoever the DNC ends up running. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having enough to swing the election to Trump would be hilarious even though I don't think they'll be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a health care voter. I really don't care. However, I do know that in this country, the federal government is nothing short of train wreck. Why would anyone think healthcare would be the ONE program that would be any different? After seeing the impeachment proceedings from both sides, yup, I definitely want those people running my healthcare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First because Medicare for all is the most important issue to me. I didn't vote Hillary (or Trump either went 3rd party hoping to get another party permanently on the ballot) because I didn't like her but I really didn't like how the DNC rigged the election for her. After the election Bernie supporters were blamed for not falling in line and voting blue no matter what. So what happens if Bernie wins the nomination? Does the DNC fall in line? Do all the blue no matter what people do as they said we should have done? Does the DNC work to remove the man they have trumpeted as the most evil president ever? I think we all know the answer to that. I really want Bernie to win because he is the candidate I like the best but I also get a bonus of either watching the DNC expose themselves as complete and total frauds or maybe (pie in the sky moment here) doing the right thing and supporting the candidate the people chose instead of the one they chose. You didn't vote for Hillary who was at least going to try and get a public option through that would've at least nudged us closer to medicare for all? Instead we have a president that's done everything in their power to chip away at the ACA. More Bernie supporters voted for Hillary than Hillary supporters voted for Obama in '08 so at least you weren't in the majority. You do realize that people on the right want a fractured Democratic party because it increases their chances of winning the election. It happened to the RNC with Trump in '16 but they eventually rallied behind him. The DNC will do the same with Bernie. The whole "take down the system" approach is appealing but a pipe dream. Meanwhile, in the real world there are still millions of Americans who aren't covered and about 66% of bankruptcies declared are due to medical issues.

/dev/null Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 CNN / Des Moines Register cancels release of final poll Quote Nothing is more important to the Register and its polling partners than the integrity of the Iowa Poll. Today, a respondent raised an issue with the way the survey was administered, which could have compromised the results of the poll. It appears a candidate’s name was omitted in at least one interview in which the respondent was asked to name their preferred candidate. Yeah the concerns of a single respondent Or results the media sponsors didn't like? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
