Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Is in Trouble [View all]BlueMississippi
(776 posts)10. BS built a warship
and equipped it with major guns like David Sirota, Nina Turner, Brihana Joy-Grey, Susan Sarandon and others. Furthermore, the ship has only one navigator -- BS -- it goes on a pre-planned route of populist messages and in lieu of engines, it was supposed to propel itself by throwing trillion dollar giveaways from the stern without any legislative plan. The navigator won't change the course even while approaching rough seas or shoals or cliffs.
Bernie has no idea how to right the ship and neither does anybody around him, a Democratic activist with knowledge of the campaign says. They dont know where theyre going. They know things arent going well and theyre grasping at ideas.
Even an amateur ship-builder knows that a ship's most important faculties are staying afloat, propel and navigate. Guns and living quarter decorations are secondary.
The plan of building a warship was flawed. A primary requires a speedboat with more message drivers and fewer guns - after all, the battle is against your fellow Democrats and no guns should be necessary. It is supposed to be genteel like America's cup and not like the British naval war against the Spanish armada.
The bottom line is clear. Someone who makes these mistakes is not qualified to be POTUS.

It's right in line with the Cenk Uygur and "Justice Democrats" philosophy...

LOL! So, you're saying that he doesn't actually want to be our party's nominee?

Well, he certainly won't be our party's nominee. Thanks for clarifying that's what you want.

I think Bernie's ultimate goal is to take the Democratic party down and rebuild it in his image.

Perhaps a reference to evolutionary biology would be a helpful addition
