I'm putting my chips on Pritzker. Newsome can go jump in a lake.

Regardless of the original source of the quote, there is a marked difference between criticism and disparagement. Making light of or downplaying someone's situation isn't the same as saying, "What you are doing is wrong".

There is also a foundational difference between social consequences and governmental ones.

She's not actually. I don't think she's that stupid as to think she'd be able to overcome the bias of the democratic party establishment in just 2 years. What's she and Bernie are trying to do is galvanize the apathetic left into standing up and fighting rather than just sitting on social media and complaining about how everything sucks. What is needed is huge numbers of people to come out and vote like their lives depend on it (cause they do).

You do realize he's even more conservative then the two fuck ups that we're talking about here. ~~He would voluntarily get rid of Jimmy Kimmel and anything else that smelled of anti-Trump.~~

I stand corrected.

They can't bring him back because they don't want to piss of Tump.

Everything else is inconsequential. This is the essence of the problem. We're not supposed to be living in a country where anyone should be afraid to make fun of or piss off the president. He's not a king and he's not an emperor. He is a replaceable employee of the government.

Honestly you're not wrong. But you can't really limit that to Lemmy. This is the truth for literally every online forum that exists. These debate bros just took it offline and onto the streets, filmed it and edited it to make them look as good as possible and then fed it back into the online spectacle machine. Using virality as a means of persuasion instead of a reasoned argument.

The comment right above you says otherwise. With a link to a source. What do you have other than intuition?

No argument here. Fuck network TV

Underestimating him is how we got here.

No, this is pure capitalism.

I love Bernie. I think he's one of the greatest people we have in this world. That being said it's about goddamn time. He's been avoiding saying that for a very very very long time.
