Bernie Sanders launches 2020 Presidential run

[Yukaphile]

Like Obama, she knew the secret to coalition-building, so no, you're wrong. She beat Sanders by four million votes, and won the popular vote to an extent more than Gore had done, three million votes, which shows unlike Sanders, her appeal was very wide, media protests to the contrary. It just wasn't enough to overcome the challenges that were in her way.

Coalition building...

Deplorables...

Of course her appeal was wide. She was crowned before she was running.

[Yukaphile]

She had the support of the DNC voting base, which is minorities and women. Also older voters. And party loyalists. Sanders, the not-Democrat who hates Democrats and will tell you he hates Democrats, does not. How is that surprising? Yeah, the DNC favored her... but that doesn't mean they cheated him out of a contest he lost fair and square, and she was a team player who worked with the Democrats. Sanders was only the rogue outsider who has no real accomplishments, plans on how to implement his lofty ideas, and regularly spits at and alienates his natural allies. If you call that "crowning" you'd probably think for a head role in the PTA organization, rather than going to the qualified soccer mom who helps everyone function together and gets along well with all the other teachers and parents, it should instead go to the crazy, alcoholic janitor who rants about how unfair life is before unzipping his pants and pissing on the front lawn when he thinks no one's looking. That's basically what it boils down to. You can't dictate to people. You gotta try and get along.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Yeah Yuka this gaslighting of Sanders you take upon yourself is strange. He tends to be regarded as the most genuine politician.

[Yukaphile]

That's only a result of the spoon-fed media perceptions and what most people don't know about him.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Oh, so a conspiracy theory.

[Yukaphile]

It is generally well-agreed the media gave him a free pass in 2016, so the more deplorable skeletons in his closet didn't come out. So yeah, media perceptions. Stuff like dumping nuclear waste on a poor Latino community, his depraved sexual articles, fathering a child simply to avoid the draft, turning away anti-war protesters, shoving women out of the way, the data breach, disrupting caucuses, and so much more. Of course, Sanders is, despite his protests to the contrary, a career politician who knows how to play the game. Whenever something negative came up on him, he knew exactly what to say to spin the situation around in order to make Clinton look like the bad guy.

[Admiral X]

The media did everything it could to sink him from what I saw. He was like the left's version of Ron Paul.

[Yukaphile]

His scandals didn't get barely the mention her emails did. Even though many of them, like with Trump, surpassed it.

Can you please provide any support of these claims? You're literally the only person that I've ever seen make any mention of the sort.
