Carville doesn't want to see the DNC go down in flames.
Funny that he hasn't said anything about AOC's "Courage to Change" PAC either yet.
They're doing this because Sanders is is essentially the left wing populist guy. Both he and Trump have a well stated tack record of pissing on the ruling class, which is why they're doing this.
Funny thing is, if Putin were really trying to make Trump reelected, he would interfering in favor of Bloomberg, the guys the democrats at "The Intercept" call a "Far Right Candidate". Bloomy is the single most impressive caucus turn out killer you will ever get.
You wouldn't go after a dude who has no chance of winning, you want to tar the guy who does have a shot. You can get a hell of lot more mileage out of that.
The MSM never goes after their own, they will simply call it a "Conspiracy Theory, unlike Trump's....blahblahblah". Remember that still today the MSM says Clinton's Uranium One has been "already debunked" and that Peter Scheiwzert's research is "inaccurate".
Sanders would definitely be shield against accusations if he gets the nomination.
Once nominated most of them will fall into line behind Bernie because they hate Trump more, but it won't work. Trump will win.
My theory is that if Bloomy steals the nomination the Bernie Bros won't follow suit.
That counts Hillary out as well.
My guess is if Bernie's momentum keeps up they will capitulate and let him have it, same way the GOP folded and let Trump have it.
To do otherwise would burn the party to the ground.
My theory is that the DNC will fall for Bloomberg and Corporate Donors big coffer of shekels. Mainly for how hard it has been for them to fundrise in the last 4 years.
The hatred for Bloomberg among Democrats is hotter than a trillion suns.
He will never be nominated.
@judgedread It depends on who you're talking about. The DNC would love to have Bloomberg be the nominee. The rank and file Democratic voter certainly hates Bloomberg though. It is also true that the leadership of the Democratic party is quite happy to commit suicide to ensure that Sanders doesn't win to benefit their class interests. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
In this they are fully aligned with Ocasio Cortez and the rest of the Vendetta Coalition.
@judgedread The class interests is of most of the American population versus a comparatively tiny number of oligarchs that control most of state policy and use that control to asphyxiate the bottom portion of the society. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
@judgedread Bernie is not for open borders so if that's what his supporters want (and I doubt most of them do) then they're voting for the wrong candidate. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate
@Secftblgirl You're going to have to enlighten me because I have never seen him propose that. I've seen him rail against open borders. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@Secftblgirl This article takes his position and then asserts at the end that his position is now the opposite because he's in the Democratic party. 🤷♂️ @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
"Banning the exportation of oil"????
I guess Sanders believes than neither Texas nor Alaska provide any electoral college seats.
@TheMadPirate Isn't the US a net importer of oil anyways? @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @judgedread
No since Trump deregulated fracking.
It's a net importer now by a slew margin.
@Secftblgirl There are other ways and means to energy independence. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@Secftblgirl Depends on what you mean by best. Certainly not when it comes to pollution. Plus they're finite. Eventually we as a civilization will need to find an alternative. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@Secftblgirl @terryenglish @TheMadPirate @judgedread @l0wk3y Also: they are extremely power “spare”, unlike fueled power, which is power dense.
This means that you need a lot of windmills and solar panals to get the same amount of power.
This is an underrated problem with solar/wind energy, even among their opponents, IHMO.
@gladicouldnthelp In other words you need to implement them on a grand scale which can and should be done. @l0wk3y @Secftblgirl @TheMadPirate @judgedread
@Secftblgirl Your tax dollars are wasted on useless shit all time. Might as well have it go to something useful for once. Maybe take it out of the black hole that is the military budget. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread @gladicouldnthelp
@Secftblgirl No it needn't . There's lots of options for financing such an undertaking that doesn't involve turning working class people upside down for their pocket change.
@l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread @gladicouldnthelp
@Secftblgirl I'm an adult who accepts that government is not perfect but nevertheless is critical to a functioning society. @l0wk3y @TheMadPirate @judgedread @gladicouldnthelp
Not with the current size and overreach.
If you reduce it enough for it to be efficient at the 3 and only 3 functions of government, then you would be right.
At the current size...nahhhh.
If you are about to say "taxing the rich more" I am gonna burst in a laugh and calk you an economic ignorant who should go read about Laffer's Curve.
