I never supported him. What they think makes me a Trump supporter was arguing about magahat kid. Because these are the same users being super irrational and refused to watch the video. Yet I have mocked Trump and been shilling for Bernie for quite awhile. See, they think you must be blindly hateful of anything even closely related to Trump or you support him. So if say you don't think it is right to punch someone in the face for wearing a maga hat, you must support Trump. I will say back in 2015, I did think Trump winning would shock the system, but apparently that hasn't happened. I always thought he was a scumbag though. I did not vote Trump. <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:938381327] in Can't dems...

darkphoenix181 04/30/20 5:47:21 PM #93:	Hairistotle posted... This is gonna come off as snide or dickish but I am genuinely ignorant and am asking for real: was the democratic party ever an ally of Sanders? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders#U.S._Senate_(2007%E2%80%93present) Sanders entered the race for the U.S. Senate on April 21, 2005, after Senator Jim Jeffords announced that he would not seek a fourth term. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, endorsed Sanders, a critical move as it meant that no Democrat running against him could expect to receive financial help from the party. He was also endorsed by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Democratic National Committee chairman and former Vermont governor Howard Dean. Dean said in May 2005 that he considered Sanders an ally who "votes with the Democrats 98% of the time."[109] Then-Senator Barack Obama also campaigned for him in Vermont in March 2006.[110] Sanders entered into an agreement with the Democratic Party, much as he had as a congressman, to be listed in their primary but to decline the nomination should he win, which he did.[111][112] In the most expensive political campaign in Vermont's history,[113] he defeated businessman Rich Tarrant by an almost 2-to-1 margin. Many national media outlets projected Sanders as the winner just after the polls closed, before any returns came in. He was reelected in 2012 with 71% of the vote,[114] and in 2018 with 67% of the vote.[115] Sanders was only the third senator from Vermont to caucus with the Democrats, after Jeffords and Leahy. His caucusing with the Democrats gave them a 5149 majority in the Senate during the 110th Congress in 200708. The Democrats needed 51 seats to control the Senate because Vice PresidentDick Cheney would likely have broken any tie in favor of the Republicans.[167] He is a member of the following caucuses: Polling conducted in August 2011 by Public Policy Polling found that Sanders's approval rating was 67% and his disapproval rating 28%, making him then the third-most popular U.S. senator.[169] Both the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and the NHLA (National Hispanic Leadership Agenda) have given him 100% voting scores during his tenure in the Senate.[170] In 2015, he was named one of the Top 5 of The Forward 50.[171] Makes you think. Why would you even doubt this? Maybe because you actually bought into propaganda? Could that be it? You should ask yourself that but I bet you won't because you don't like me. <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:938386973] in Can't dems...

Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, endorsed Sanders, a critical move as it meant that no Democrat running against him could expect to receive financial help from the party. He was also endorsed by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Democratic National Committee chairman and former Vermont governor Howard Dean. Dean said in May 2005 that he considered Sanders an ally who "votes with the Democrats 98% of the time."[109] Then-Senator Barack Obama also campaigned for him in Vermont in March 2006.[110] Sanders entered into an agreement with the Democratic Party, much as he had as a congressman, to be listed in their primary but to decline the nomination should he win, which he did.[111][112] In the most expensive political campaign in Vermont's history,[113] he defeated businessman Rich Tarrant by an almost 2-to-1 margin. Many national media outlets projected Sanders as the winner just after the polls closed, before any returns came in. He was reelected in 2012 with 71% of the vote,[114] and in 2018 with 67% of the vote.[115] Sanders was only the third senator from Vermont to caucus with the Democrats, after Jeffords and Leahy. His caucusing with the Democrats gave them a 5149 majority in the Senate during the 110th Congress in 200708. The Democrats needed 51 seats to control the Senate because Vice PresidentDick Cheney would likely have broken any tie in favor of the Republicans.[167] He is a member of the following caucuses: Polling conducted in August 2011 by Public Policy Polling found that Sanders's approval rating was 67% and his disapproval rating 28%, making him then the third-most popular U.S. senator.[169] Both the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and the NHLA (National Hispanic Leadership Agenda) have given him 100% voting scores during his tenure in the Senate.[170] In 2015, he was named one of the Top 5 of The Forward 50.[171]</quote> Makes you think. Why would you even doubt this? Maybe because you actually bought into propaganda? Could that be it? You should ask yourself that but I bet you won't because you don't like me. </quote> ...

Looks like he got some meager support from democratic party affiliates in his 2018 run for senate as well. Not bad He also was almost nominated to be the candidate twice, but I guess he was never really a democrat. Must have been Trumpeters voting in the primaries to rig the election right? <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:938387234] in Can't dems...

COVxy 04/30/20 5:52:38 PM #96:	shockthemonkey posted... Do you think the Democratic Party would not support him against Donald Trump? Sure, I imagine they would pretty much back anyone against Trump. But given he didn't make it that far because he couldn't actually derive those relationships politically (or rather, seemed to not want to), seems like a moot point. Personally, I think it's highly likely that any democrat put up against Trump has got a damn good probability of winning, given the fluke nature of 2016, and Trump primarily losing support over his first term. So it's worth going back and noting that the post you're responding to is making fun of the response that only Bernie could be the chosen one. Given that head to head polling data was indicating that Biden was actually a bit stronger than Bernie, idk how many legs that argument has to stand on. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:938387293] in Can't dems...
