How can we be sure that Oprah Winfrey or Warren Buffett aren’t among the donors who kicked him $15 through his web site?

And that’s why he’ll lose again. Well. . . that and the fact that the media treats him like a leper.
What we really need is a Trumpish faux-populist who can push all the right buttons and appeal to idiots, then completely abandon that once in office: “HA HA, fooled ya! Now I’m going to work on national health care and global warming!”
(But until then I’ll still vote for Bernie.)

Honestly, I could vote for either Warren or Sanders, though my preference is in that order. If Sanders gets the nomination, I’ll vote for him. Aside from them, though, my vote would be against Trump, rather than for a candidate (Biden, Pete, Booker, Yang, etc.).

I’m still praying for the [ Sanders/Warren | Warren/Sanders ] ticket. Then I can get my wonky socialism groove on proper.

The VP pick is usually a middle of the road candidate that can appeal to a particular swing state. I don’t know if Biden would be willing to be VP again, but someone like Buttigieg is probably more likely.
In terms of actually getting stuff done we might be better off if one remained in the Senate where they could help push through the President’s legislative agenda.

I have dreamed of running for office exactly like that.
Be the most hypocritical, lying shitweasel, say whatever I have to get elected-
Then blow minds as I fix everything Trump has done, and go way beyond even implementing everything Sanders and Warren have come up with.
Then before I leave office- go on live TV and tell the nation directly they are all morons for believing me, because I lied through my teeth to get elected. Tell em if they weren’t dumber than a sack of broken hammers they’d actually value facts, fact checking, and integrity. Science would matter. But most of all- that no one ever running for office again should ever be trusted, because if even the President got away with it, anyone can- unless you think damn hard about who you’re voting for.
Maybe that would fix the idiots. Im sure some Trump morons would still vote for me again though, claiming its some grand “Jesus” plan of the endtimes.
Basically, at this point, I think we’re all just permanently fucked.

Oligarchy , government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes. Oligarchies in which members of the ruling group are wealthy or exercise their power through their wealth are known as plutocracies.

The Forbes’ article
One billionaire gave 470 bux to Sanders and he returned it. So way to adhere to the strict rules.

Even if I were to accidentally vote for some guy named Warren Sanders, Warren Sanders would still make a better president than Trump.
I like Sanders and Warren, either which way. But, what I want to know, is who will the Electoral College vote for?
