Bernie will be an old retread if he runs, he will not look good standing next to a younger crop of candidates in the debate. And his message never changes so people will be hearing exactly what they heard in 2016 while all the other candidates are preaching new stuff.

Lol yes slimy Kamala Harris, Deval Patrick, and Cory Booker will come off so authentic repeating all of Bernie's talking points on the debate stage because muh age.

Bullock isn't a right winger, he's very much an economic progressive. The difference is he will talk about bread and butter issues instead of divisive social issues like the urban NYC wing wants

Yes, divisive urban NYC issues like... unemployment, rent prices, infrastructure issues, gentrification, police brutality, and income inequality.

Some of you Dems who pull the whole "identity politics" BS are worse than the Republicans who do it.

Exactly. Thank you.

Gay/black/Hispanic/women's rights are not "identity politics". This are real issues that affect the economic and social lives of millions of Americans and their families.

For example, if you can be fired in 30/50 states simply for being LGBT, that's a civil rights AND economic issue. If you could be denied housing for being LGBT that's a civil rights AND economic issue. If you are paid less than men for the same job because you're a woman that's a civil rights AND economic issue.

Dismissing it as a "divisive issue" is wrong and abhorrent.

Name me one person that has said LGBT and criminal justice issues are divisive.

The senator from Vermont who said such issues are distractions and shouldn't be prioritize.

No he did not say that. Stop putting words into people’s mouth.
