Americans Maintain a Positive View of Bernie Sanders

[Olive Drab Green]

I've been really upset that white privilege has you so upset, that I think I've finally found the solution!

At least you recognize white privilege exists, which means you recognize for that reform is necessary to de-racialize institutions within our government.

I've no idea who that is,

Hey cannasylvan, shutthefuckup already

About once a month I'll treat myself to a half glass of a nice Lambrusco.

Doc,
Yep, sweet fruity wine with fizz. Lambrusco comes in rosso and bianco varieties. Lambrusco Bianco is slightly more fruity than Gewurztraminer.

Doc,
I don't know what you're talking about. Le Grotte Lambrusco is the shit. It's like big boy 7-up.

Doc,
I actually like the sweet wines best. My favorite is Lambrusco Bianco. That stuff is awesome. If I ever get a sour wine I'll just make it into a sangria.

not surprised your only argument is a made up post.

Everything about you is fake.

Bernie cannot win the Democratic Party's primaries without the support of Black and Hispanic Democrats

Then it's a good thing Black and Hispanic Democrats overwhelmingly support him

opinion polls like that are worthless when used to predict votes. He was well liked in 2016 too and lost by 12% margin. The only poll that matters is an election poll.

If opinions are worthless, why did you post the opinion of the writer from theroot.com?

Do you deny the data collected by Harvard/Harris?

If you turn that graph upside down it looks just like Hillary's I'm with her logo from the campaign, cool huh?

Do you not know the difference between news reporting and a random sample of opinions?

It's your conclusion that I deny. The poll merely summarized the opinions people have of Bernie, favorable or not. You extrapolate to "he's going to win in 2020". Time and again, that kind of extrapolation has been shown to be worth no more than a coin toss in making a prediction of an election especially on that is so far away in time.

The opinion that you extrapolate from the article you posted is that Sanders' 2020 chances were ruined on April 4

That's your opinion

You just got done explaining how opinions are worthless

So why do you deny the fact that Sanders polls highest among minorities? Why do you try to paint a false picture that minorities oppose him?

Good heavens

The guy who wrote that article asked people who were there what they thought and quoted leaders in the black community. He reported on the factual outcome from Bernie's speech. Are you are saying that the random opinions of people anywhere in the country who are asked whether or not they like Bernie is the same thing?

What Bernie said was obviously tone deaf so I don't know why you are even questioning the analyst. If I recast Bernie's speech to Gillium's corruption investigation in Tallahassie, it looks like this:

“The public administration in Tallahassie has for years been dealing with real estate investors and a corruption probe is bringing it all to light. “People sometimes don’t see that because there was a charismatic individual named Andrew Gillum, who won the seat of Mayor in Tallahassie during the time of the supposed corrupt acts.."

“He is obviously an extraordinary candidate, brilliant guy. But behind that reality, over the last 10 years, Gillum's administration has been tied to shady deals with real estate developers."

Right, he asked people their opinions, which you just said are worthless. And which no doubt the author of the article left out the overwhelmingly positive opinions of Sanders by black voters in Georgia based on his 73% approval rating among African Americans. Again, you played yourself.

He reported on the factual outcome from Bernie's speech.

The factual outcome from Sanders' speech is that more minorities support him than whites. More females support him than males. So much for the racist "Bernie Bro" narrative you've so vigorously tried to cultivate these past two years..

Are you are saying that the random opinions of people anywhere in the country who are asked whether or not they like Bernie is the same thing?

I'm saying black opinions matter whether you want to discount them or not

What Bernie said was obviously tone deaf so I don't know why you are even questioning the analyst.

I'm questioning your ridiculous remark about the validity of opinion polls and highlighting your own hypocrisy in citing an article based in opinion yourself, because you're legitimately stupid and haven't thought your own retarded argument through. You can't claim opinion polls are illegitimate while citing an authors opinion.. You understand how foolish that is, right?

Take a step back and think about it..

There are like 7 black people in Boston and they're all gentry. Who cares about a Harvard/Harris poll? The only time Bernard engaged a black crowd, he talked a bunch of shit about Obama on the anniversary of MLK Jr's death.

Believing he can still win is about as stupid as your Bogan friend believing in Chinese exceptionalism.

But that's like, your opinion, man...

According to your friend, opinions are worthless

A neat little investigation on that Harvard /Harris poll on Budget and Taxes which padaraper has been talking about for over a year, but he thinks it's a poll about the popularity of politicians. Literally fake news.

I have thought about it. The opinion polls you cite are simply "do you like Bernie?". Even in the article I cited, he wasn't negative about him, the worst he said was "tone deaf". If I were asked if I liked Bernie, I'd say yes. I'm probably not going to vote for him and based upon his continued poor leadership with the black community, neither will they. Same in 2016, when he lost big time to Clinton, especially with the Black and Hispanic vote for exactly the same reasons.

Did you forget that Bernie only attracted 20% of African American Democratic Party votes in 2016? Reporters were quoting Black people who said the same thing about him then. "Like him but tone deaf, I'll vote for Hillary". The story is consistent. It's time for you to think about it.

The only poll that matters is an election poll.
