why don't progressives seem to have as much of a boner for Bernie any more?

is it because we fantasized about him so much over the last 4 years, self-loving to thoughts of him, that now that it's time for the big event we're interested in checking out some other piece of tail bc we feel like we tapped dat already so many times?

Bernie is the only person i get excited listening to speak in the Dem field

I would / will vote Bloomy if he gets the nom, but he doesn't get me 'amped' when he speaks... more like he makes me feel like 'ample' governance is in place...

Bernie's words makes me tingle. i bern for him.

Spoiler: show

not unlike the burning sensation during urination...

Former Republican Elizabeth Warren successfully stole most of the socialist's positions. And people totally believe she's for real!

I hope he qualifies for a debate just to see them all pile on him when the subject comes up. And do any of you really believe he can skip the first 4 states and then do well on Super Tuesday?

Yeah I hadn’t considered stop and frisk, I agree that’s a big vulnerability.

I'm pretty sure Peter King is neither sick of Trump or worried about getting reelected. I think it's safe to assume whatever reason he gave for retiring is the real reason.

You don't really understand how statistics works, huh.

it’s unfortunate, because they seem to want to dismantle all of the Dem candidates that could fare well in a general election

Bloomberg is not a racist

He had to manage a city that was rampant with crime in certain areas

there’s not a lot of great solutions out there for something like that (insert idealist counterpoint rant) so sometimes you just need to take a practical approach

NYC didn’t devolve into a Chicago so i guess it kind of worked
