Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Background Pony #D76D  
nah, you guys just don’t like him, we get that, but you don’t have another subject? There’s plenty of actual assholes on the planet and I bet my Macron can beat your trump anytime. Okay we’re far behind Jinping or Un.

Bernie Sanders is proposing a new bill that would guarantee medical leave and $2000 monthly checks in response to the pandemic, building off of the steps the previous relief bill laid.
 
Meanwhile Biden has spent the week doing victory rounds and vetting for a VP. While the primary is still going.
 
The priorities between these 2 are telling.

So It seems the captains of industry in Trump’s circle get personal testing right away. It makes all the people who say back in 2017 that Trump was fighting for “us” meaning the average joe make them look all the pitiful.

Oops wrong thread

@Background Pony #D76D  
Yes, you’re agreeing with me. The federal stockpile is meant to supplement the states in scenarios like this. The states have thei supply, an emergency hits, the federal government has a stockpile to help.

Something has been bugging me lately. Why does Donald Trump want to get reelected so bad when its obvious from his past comments and current behavior during the press briefing questioning secession, he really hates the job? He is willing to burn billions of dollars on a reelection for a job he doesn’t want. Is he a masochist?

@Apple Thor
 
For the first time in his life he’s actually making a profit from being in charge of something.

@Apple Thor  
Because the three presidents before him got re-elected and not achieving the same would make him look bad.

@Apple Thor  
It isn’t hard to see. Trump may not be a politician but he shares the same traits of wanting power because he thinks he knows best and can do it. I mean the man built giant Trump towers after all, he licensed his name out everywhere, his goal was to build a brand. He thinks he is the one guy who should be in charge because he can do better then anyone. Not a politician, but still kind of is one.

Makes sense. Trump is enjoying the profits and immunity that come with the office. He knows that the moment he steps out the White House. Lawsuits are going to falling out of the sky towards him and the Trump family. I wouldn’t be surprised if he loses most of his properties after is said and done.

@Apple Thor  
Ego and narcissicism.

@Dustcan  

Bernie Sanders is also an active member of the US Senate, so proposing bills to help with the current crisis is what he should (and almost certainly would) be doing even if he wasn’t also running for election.
 
Whereas Biden is not an active government employee in any capacity. He’s a civilian running for president. And while it probably wouldn’t be wrong of him to encourage supporting additional assistance to the American people, he’s not in any position to actually influence anything in regards to the government response.

@Dustcan
 
Which is why Bernie should be the nominee, not blue MAGA man: now with 20% less rape!

The people have spoken with a thunderous roar. If people really wanted Bernie Sanders they would have came out in droves for him on Super Tuesday. They did not, so its clear who they favor.

@Apple Thor  
You know what the problem is? People didn’t turn out to vote enough. Old people and people who don’t know any better about politics but think voting blue is good vote for Biden, even though he’s a horrible choice and his policies are worse.

@Apple Thor  
As if pro-Bernie areas didn’t have to deal with long polling lines, polls closing early, and other methods to suppress votes. OH, WAIT. THEY DID.

@Vivace  

 
This, too.  
More people support Bernie’s MFA than not, but some people refuse to look at the facts.

@Patachu  
As much as I dislike PragerU for being an obvious propaganda tool, I do wonder whether there’s a legitimate reason for the student to call the cops. I don’t like people who waste the time of cops.

@Mikey  
The people who voted for Biden wasn’t just the old but the young too. They understand how dangerous Trump is and want to take him down. Bernie Sanders is not the guy for the job and the people have shown that.
 
 
@Vivace  
Super Tuesday was the day Bernie Sanders supporters had to show Bernie Sanders they were there for him. Bernie Sanders base is just not big enough. If only Bernie Sanders had tried harder after his defeat in 2016 to court African American voters he would have done better.

@Scrabbleman  
It’s not propaganda, just a different opinion. And yeah; at least the cops are not taking the bait. In other places you know they would lock up the reporter for eventually an unalledged “wrong” opinion. (Actually in 3/4 of the world it works like this)
 
@Apple Thor  
How exactly is Trump dangerous? You picked Biden, it’s gonna be just fun to watch.

@Apple Thor  
We can’t all be the VP of the 1st black president. That’s Biden’s lone selling point from his own merits, and his negatives outnumber and outweigh that.

@Apple Thor  
No, they haven’t. The DNC and the mainstream media screwed him like they did in 2016. Biden is going to be demolished by Trump come November. Biden is an easy target, and he won’t be able to keep up in debates. I’m sorry but Trump is going to get another 4 years with Biden.

@Mikey  
Mike Bernie had a hand in changing the rules of the DNC. It is not a factor anymore.

@Mikey  
The real reason for calls of #DropOutBernie is because they know how weak he is, so they have to depend on a lack of competition. Like driving businesses out of market by undercutting prices for an inferior product.
