Yes, progressives won't back somebody who is old, white, male and heterosexual because he's old, white, male and heterosexual, which is why they backed Bernie Sanders last time.

Actually on the local level, I vote probably vote for more Dems than Reps. I almost always vote conservative on the federal level, but having represented local government agencies and the state, amount others, federal power IMO needs to be curtailed (and if you think that is happening other "I'm goring to pull your federal funds" Donald Trump, guess again) . I did vote for Obama his first term and Clinton both terms because of the alternatives.Yogi Bear said:He votes for both parties.

Sanders can certainly beat Trump, unless things have drastically changed since 2016.
I have big doubts about that. Democrats want to get rid of Trump, full stop.bearister said:chazzed said:

No, just like Bernie crybabies didn't vote, moderate Dems won't vote if Bernie gets the nomination and tRump wins again. Any thoughts on why the Bernmeister won't release his tax filings?

So it appears Uncle Joe put his foot in mouth YET again without knowing it. The Gaffe Machine continues. I'll still vote for him if he gets the nod but man, he's making it difficult. What a freakin' dinosaur. Unbelievable really.
Joe Biden just made it clear he doesn't 'get' the touching controversy
I get that part. Joe is old school. Upthread I posted about how he reminds me of uncles who did the same stuff, to relatives. I agree he's not a predator or p*ssy-grabbing Orange Turd but it still rubs some people the wrong way and his joking about it shows he doesnt' get that part. Sort of like how he didn't get how he chaired the Clarance Thomas hearing was basically caveman terrority...but that was 30+ years ago.BearsWiin said:Another Bear said:

Lost in this particular discussion is the photographic record of Biden putting his hands on men's shoulders, hugging men, and close-talking men. He's a handsy close-talker, not some prurient creep. People are making a bigger deal of this than it merits.

That's a lie! I paid $212.50 per Quarter! Isn't like $20,000 a year when you factor in inflation?

Not getting it now shows he's out of touch...still not a predator but doesn't get it and it's the 21st century. I have no problem calling my uncles and even my dad, old school knuckledraggers on some issues and I'll extend that to Joe Biden too. The issue is he's going for votes. If anything, if Joe gets the nod many women will sit the election out, just like how you're inferring you'll do the same for Bernie if he gets the nod.
Unfortunely it's extremely difficult to fix old. I know that personally.
I think it is both overblown and a problem, and I will still vote for him if he gets the nod, but this makes me think he is less likely to get the nod.Another Bear said:

I said it's overblown, not a non-issue. FWIW, my wife thinks it's overblown too, and she's generally pretty sensitive to these issues in part because she's a female in a male-dominated industry.Another Bear said:
Okay, you think it's overblown. Ask some women if they think it's overblown. Don't take my word for it.
I'll leave it at that.
This is a fair way to put it and I agree it's both...and it damages his chances. The problem is he'll have two different sides pushing back: some women and ironically the GOP, the p&ssy grabbing party who fear him.golden sloth said:I think it is both overblown and a problem, and I will still vote for him if he gets the nod, but this makes me think he is less likely to get the nod.Another Bear said:

I still want you to address my question as to how you get any inference from any of my comments that I'd sit out the general election if Bernie gets the nod. You seem to like to jump to some weird conclusions.
