That’s the thing neither side cares about the average tax payer . They only seem to care during election seasonQuote:

One of the most segregated school systems in the country, one of the most corrupt housing authorities in the nation. Almost like democratic run cities don't really give a **** about minorities.
Democratic leaders don't really give two ***** about minorities
The same way
Republicans don't really give two ***** about a fetus after its born.
We are both set in our ways. I was a republican who left the party after Trump was elected because the party isn't what I thought it was. But I will never drink the democrats cool-aid either.
It's cool, you're a typical left wing minded person. All your beliefs you've posted have been that way at least. You let your political party decide what is and isn't best, instead of thinking deep for yourself. I hope one day you snap out of it.
We are all just sheep to a country run by big business.

Well the fact that you and others have spent way more time attacking desantis over this virus when your own state is in much worse shape compared to Florida , one can’t help but think there is a political bias .Quote:

People don't like change. That's why Bernie Sanders didn't win the democratic nomination.
I left the Democrat pArty after al gore debacle and left the Republican Party during Obama’s second term as president when the republicans never came up with the balls to do anything about many of Obama’s questionable policies . Right then and there I realized neither side gave a damned about us .Quote:

No Sanders lost because he didn't win over moderate Democrats. Whatever the case is, that man was the closest to real change in the Democratic party probably since the 1800s. Bernie knew the only path he had to being president was to run as a Democrat though. He couldn't run as an independent or a smaller party candidate.Quote:

My views tilt decidedly left. Do I agree with all their policies? Absolutely not. Same holds true of the right. I don't simply dismiss the right because of party affiliation, but rather I look at policy. How does it effect the majority, the minority and me as an individual.
My disdain for Trump has a lot to do with his history and much less to do with the R's. Although I do take issue with the sycophants (Pence, Graham, McConnell, Barr et.al) that watch the madness and remain silent. No excuse. Their fear of Trump and public humiliation via twitter frenzy is more potent than their responsibility to their constituents! No excuse.
Absolutely imo. He stood for a change many clamor for, but yet the middle fails to support. What Bernie has accomplished, even without getting the nod, he has focus attention on the important issues facing the country and the planet. Many of his issues, once thought to be too radical or too far left, are now debated and have become part of the American consciousness.Quote:

No the middle doesn’t support sanders because he is way too far to the left and on top of that during his last run for president he did in fact praise Fidel Castro’s education policies . And ANY type of praise for fidel Castro is not going to get support from the minorities and middle of the road Americans . And that is on top of the support he has given to Maduro the Dictator from VenezuelaQuote:

Still doesn’t mean he wins though. And your hypothetical scenarios make no sense since they had young candidates like mayor Pete running as well and he came nowhere close to getting the nomination . Bernie is too far to the left and that is a fact .Quote:

If you remember correctly, Bernie had a huge base in the Democratic party not only from his 2016 run but this years as well. If Biden doesn't win, Bernie is your democratic presidential nominee.Quote:
