Same old stump speech for Sanders now...I have heard it so long, I could speak it.

[Demsrule86]

[hlthe2b]

1. LOL...I hear it and I think, oh, Curb Your Enthusiasm is on....

Larry David is absolutely Sanders (if Bernie could find his funny bone)...

[Demsrule86]

11. Now he is attacking Biden...

[hlthe2b]

12. But of course...

[Demsrule86]

27. Biden giving a hell of a speech...Jill looks lovely...really like her outfit...I would wear that.

[Raftergirl]

24. On Finding Your Roots

Larry David found out that he and Bernie are related according to their DNA.

[hlthe2b]

25. Yes! I still find that simply incredible...

[stopbush]

2. Automatic pilot. Even the arm gestures never change.

Six years of this.

[RazBerryBeret]

3. at least he's consistent, I guess. n/t

[Walleye]

4. Yup. Pretty tired rhetoric

[Lars39]

5. I didn't realize The Temp was on until you posted

[Demsrule86]

16. When he attacked Biden, I muted it.

[Lars39]

18. I had him on mute the whole time...

very disturbing.

[Demsrule86]

20. I don't get what people see in him...I just don't...I mean people love him but why?

[Lars39]

22. I don't get it either.

No charm or finesse, just anger.

[Demsrule86]

28. They are fans not just supporters...like when people scream for rock bands...

[Lars39]

33. Yep

[highplainsdem]

6. Pretty sad.

[Demsrule86]

21. Protester ran up on the stage...and practically attacked Biden...she was not big and all but ...

maybe we need SS protection soon.

[Lars39]

23. The fear on the women's faces....

[W_HAMILTON]

7. This man still talking about the Iraq War.

[Demsrule86]

17. Biden speaking now...he looks and sounds great...very enthusiastic.

[coti]

38. That may be the one decent point he has to make against Biden.

That was a big, big deal. I'm not going to forget it.

[W_HAMILTON]

39. It has already been litigated politically...

...and Sanders already lost to one candidate who voted for the IWR and has since admitted their mistake (as Biden has).

Every candidate who has been in public office will make mistakes. The first question is whether they can own up to their mistake and learn from them going forward. The second question is whether or not they "hit more than they miss" and make progress more oftentimes than not, even if they have a misstep here and there. Biden has owned up to his mistake in trusting the Bush administration in regard to Iraq and there is no doubt that many of the policies he has championed through the decades have been made our country a better place as whole. Some of his votes may be questionable, but once again, the same can be said for any candidate that has been in office for that many years (e.g., just look at Sanders and his pro-gun votes and pro-gun manufacturer votes).

[highplainsdem]

8. Lying about Biden now and getting the crowd to boo him.

[Mz Pip]

9. Thing is

It isn’t resonating with voters. People don’t want a “revolution “ at least not now.

We just want Trump gone.

[C_U_L8R]

10. Scorched earth.

Not a good strategy for winning.

[mercuryblues]

13. IKR

During the last debate when they asked Sanders a question, I would answer. My spouse looked at me and asked how I know what his answer would be. After listening to him for years, he has very few. short stock answers, the reverts to his economic policy spiel.

[Demsrule86]

19. That is so true.

[nolabear]

14. I know. At a moment like this he needs inspiration.

But he doesn’t have it. I just don’t get how someone can say things that sound like they want to help people without any sign the actually care about people.

[R B Garr]

15. It's so superficial and tiresome.

We usually rush to change the channel, but have to tolerate it for the other coverage.

[evertonfc]

26. its old, tired and becoming a bit condescending

[DanTex]

29. Love it! Keep fighting the good fight Bernie!

[Historic NY]

30. One trick pony.

[TheCynic56]

31. Quit Labeling Bernie Angry. It's Passion also.

Undecided Democrat!

[ehrnst]

35. Passion? I have passion. I expect a lot more in the way of actual accomplishment from

a career politician.

Something like the Brady Law, and not Sierra Blanca. Perhaps serving as VP or the head of a consumer protection bureau that one was instrumental in starting.

Something more than amendments added on after the hard teamwork and compromise of authoring a bill has been done by others.

The ability to smile, buoyancy, the ability to inspire something more than rage in people - you know, like FDR was able to do.

Health.

[TheCynic56]

37. Have a great evening.

[jcgoldie]

32. some folks would call that authenticity

Maybe not others.

[ehrnst]

34. I heard similar from my RW uncle about Trump.

So there's that.

[NCProgressive]

36. He cannot connect with empathy

He fires up people's anger and plutophobia
