| And then Jan M. Bartlett says to the original commentator, Lee, I agree. | |
| I think Bernie would be a great president if we could just appoint him. | |
| I mean, that's kind of what you do with your vote, you know. | |
| That's what voting is, yeah. | |
| He loves this country and all Americans, but unfortunately, it is not a level playing field. | |
| And I don't think he can beat Trump because there are so many dumb-ass Americans out there that will never take the time to read up on him, study his story and policies, and understand what he wants to do. | |
| The idiots among us need more flash and sizzle to make up for the fact that they are ignorant and want to stay that way. | |
| I think Bernie will not excite enough voters and unfortunately that is what we need. | |
| We have to defeat Trump at all costs. | |
| Maybe make him VP and then he could run after letting the country have eight years of seeing what a wonderful leader he can and will be. | |
| Wow. | |
| Wow. | |
| What a rollercoaster of a comment. | |
| What an absolute ride. | |
| I hate that whole thing where they need more flash and sizzle. | |
| Are you not seeing Bernie rallies? | |
| Are you not seeing Bernie speak? | |
| Are you not seeing people speak for Bernie? | |
| That shit's moving. | |
| What more could you want? | |
| I don't understand. | |
| We need a platinum selling rock band to support him. | |
| You know what? | |
| Nobody's assaulted somebody at his command. | |
| We need one of the largest female rappers to support him on Twitter. | |
| That's what we would need if we were going to support him. | |
| That's what we would need. | |
| Something like that. | |
| Something small like that. | |
| What if Ariana Grande endorses him? | |
| I wouldn't be surprised by that. | |
| She already kind of did. | |
| She gave him a shout out. | |
| She already kind of did, yeah. | |
| She picked him up. | |
| What a great day. | |
| I remember that day. | |
| It was a good day. | |
| Thank you, Next. | |
| Thank you, Next. | |
| No, the whole thing right here is just infuriating. | |
| I don't think he can beat Trump because there are so many dumbass Americans out there. | |
| The idiots among us need more flash and sizzle. | |
| They are too ignorant and want to stay that way. | |
| I really like Bernie, but I just fucking hate America. | |
| I just fucking despise everybody else inside this country. | |
| So I'm gonna vote for somebody worse than Bernie because I hate my neighbor. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Cause fuck you. | |
| Cause fuck them kids. | |
| That's why. | |
| This person is like either has just the most weirdly curated news feed that I've ever seen or they're making up excuses to not support Bernie. | |
| Because, like, how could you know about Bernie Sanders' candidacy without knowing how excited, like, his voting base are? | |
| That's the whole Bernie bro thing, is that they're too excited. | |
| They're too cult-like. | |
| Yeah, and then on top of that, like, one of the biggest oppositions is that he's older, and then you're like, let's let him wait eight more years. | |
| It's, appoint him as Vice President. | |
| Like, that alone should tell you that these people don't know what the fuck they're talking about. | |
| Seeing what he can do as Vice President. | |
| Vice President does nothing. | |
| You do nothing. | |
| You give the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and maybe you cut some ribbons. | |
| Oh, I got a movie for you to watch. | |
| I gotta movie for you to watch. | |
| It's called Vice. | |
| It's gonna fuck your shit up, man. | |
| You think Vice Presidents don't have any power? | |
| I'm not in the mood for another edgy documentary about doing drugs while squatting in the Playboy Mansion. | |
| Yeah, don't. | |
| It's really just upsetting. | |
| Watching it's just upsetting. | |
| It's well done and everything, but it's just upsetting. | |
| Yeah, yeah, no. | |
| We can't have Bernie because my extended family and my neighbors, the people in my town, they're all wretched scum. | |
| They're trash people. | |
| They're trash people and that's why I'm not voting for Medicare for All. | |
| They want to watch it burn. | |
| They want to watch it burn. | |
| Bill Ives says, I am voting for our nominee regardless of who it is. | |
| This was actually a bad night for Sanders, as he only won New Hampshire by 2%, while in 2016 he won by over 20%. | |
| What? | |
| So what you're saying is that he's been good. | |
| That's what you're saying right now. | |
| Yeah, what you're saying is like, uh, he beat more people this time around than he beat in 2016. | |
| Yeah. | |
| He took on fuckin' six different people and still beat them. | |
| As opposed to beating just Hillary in 2016. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Insane. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Insane. | |
| Amy and Pete had 44% to his 26%. | |
| Wow, that's true. | |
| I never thought about it like that. | |
| Yeah, that's a good point. | |
| I mean, yeah, okay, sure, he won, until you realize that everybody else had 74% to his 26%? | |
| Yeah. | |
| It's insane. | |
| Do you realize how many more people, he didn't get the majority, he didn't get over 50%. | |
| Yeah, dude's just finally learning what a plurality is. | |
| What the word plurality means. | |
| Oh, he's not learning. | |
| Hopefully someone told him after this. | |
| Hey, 44% is a bigger number and you can't deny that it's a bigger number. | |
| Hey, 44% is a bigger number, and you can't deny that it's a bigger number. | |
| 44% beats 26% every time. | |
| If the moderates can't agree on one choice, that person should run the table. | |
| Okay. | |
| So this is the same nonsense of, like, why do not all the Republican candidates simply pick the best candidate amongst themselves? | |
| Why do not the Democratic primary candidates simply get together and decide who's going to be president? | |
| Who's going to be the Democratic candidate? | |
| Not only that, but it's saying, like, see the problem with Bernie Sanders getting the most votes is that we need the person who's gonna get the most votes. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, every one of these people will tell you that the Electoral College is bad, that we need to go with the popular vote, that that's the most democratic way of choosing, and Bill Ives is like, uh, no, the two losing candidates should combine, should stack themselves into a pantsuit, and they should be president. | |
| They should form like Voltron. | |
| Yeah. | |
| No, I like that. | |
| I like the little, yeah, little rascals. | |
| Little rascals like trying to buy a movie ticket into the presidency. | |
| Yeah, totally. | |
| One for the Democratic nomination, please. | |
| And they're just like wobbling. |
