Wholeheartedly agree with this but I also think you shouldn’t cut off your nose in spite of your face. The system is corrupt AND Trump is a threat to many Americans wellbeing. You should vote to try to fix the corrupt system but if we fail you should still do your best to make things good as you can even if it’s not ideal.

Thank you.

It can be both things.

I'm personally cutting off my nose because my face deserves spite.
jk
but seriously i am currently arguing with my mgr about not taking a raise because i don't want the potential b.s. that comes with it
 
I just literally read in a thread on medicare for all on a different forum, someone arguing how our current healthcare system is more cost effective.

More cost effective in that people are not seeking out preventive care and only going to the doctors when sick. This results in people dying earlier because diseases weren't caught early. Therefor, over the life of that person's insurance they cost less than someone who always seeks preventative care and lives longer.

There was no care in the world about people's lives. Just that in the long run our healthcare would be more expensive if we had medicare for all. Therefore it's a bad thing.


Wow, I can't even.
 
Say Bernie get's the nomination, what do you think the chances are that he picks Elizabeth Warren? Who else you think are serious possibilities for running mates. Stacey Abrams? And don't tell me Nina Turner or AOC because that is going to be a no from me. He needs someone more moderate to balance the ticket.

Why assume VP would be a woman of color?

It’s a demographic thing. Women of color make up the largest percentage of the Democratic electorate. The Democratic Party has historically underrepresented that base, we are likely going to nominate a white male septuagenarian for President. Nominating a younger WOC would likely appeal to more of that electorate.

I would prefer this doesn't happen but Kamala Harris would be a wise choice if the Sanders campaign wants to build more of a coalition with older African American voters

I don't dispute that but I see her as a Tim Kaine, Sarah Palin. I'm guessing a lot of people outside Georgia have no clue who she is. The overall American electorate is pretty dumb.

Why Pete?

I am voting for Bernie but I get Pete’s appeal, he is super intelligent and pragmatic and almost half the age of the other moderates still (until recently) running. For me, I think the moderate wing would have been better served consolidating around a younger voice (Pete or Cory Booker) but that is not how the establishment wing of the Democratic Party typically works, usually you have to wait your turn (though the two most recent winning examples the younger upstarts beat out the establishment rivals).
