    Zero out of three for you.

    You’re projecting.

    I know the first two and there is plenty of counterevidence for the third.

    Popular - he is

    Old - doesn’t matter

    Compromises values - mountains of counterevidence over half a century of progressive politics.

    Do you have any evidence to suggest relevance to your comment?

      Bernie is popular with the left (including me) but not Democrats at large (and definitely not with the right). He didn’t get nearly enough support in 2016 to make it. He’s definitely not one to compromise his values though, I don’t know where the commenter got that idea.

        If he was endorsed by the DNC, I doubt he would have any trouble sweeping the election.

        Perfect for trump too, he confounds and infuriates the conservatives but can’t be flapped.

        There’s some dumb “not enough” crap kooks are spreading about AOC and Sanders not being left for not literally firebombing the white house over Palestine.

        Such a ridiculous remark is likely tangential to that or a similar fabrication.

      Popular — he lost to Hilary Clinton

      Old — clearly age does matter

      Compromises values — Voted for the ACA with no public option (which he promised he wouldn’t do)

        Wildly wrong again, keep swinging.

        1. Incorrect and irrelevant

        2. Incorrect, especially now.

        3. He literally voted to help millions of people access healthcare. Which are his consistent values.

        Geez, you’re terrible at this.
