Genuinely baffled by how open TD was and how TDWIN has been to Sanders supporters... Any intelligent, politically active person that supports Sanders is either a Socialist or Communist. The ONLY thing we have in common is our disdain for the establishment.
Pedes want to bring the US back to it’s values, socially and politically. The want to MAGA.
Berns think this whole thing is rotten and want to tear it up- root and stem.
Pedes hate the establishment because it’s fighting to preserve it’s current corrupt, insidious form, and resisting our attempts to restore the basic principles of this country.
Berns hate the establishment because it’s the only thing preventing them from destroying the very foundation that Pede’s seek to restore.
Why are we opening our arms to these commies? Let them reap what they have sewn.
Because some Bern Outs (definitely not all) are just confused people who haven't seen the light. Once you come here and get the insight, you hop aboard the Trump train fully. You'd be surprised how many ex Bernie supporters there are here.
Even Darth Vader could be brought back to the good side.
Why on earth would we accept potential voters? It’s almost like we want to win elections?! /s
Because we want to win the presidency, house, and senate in 2020. That's all this is about.
Because these people do NOT want to vote for the traditional democrat candidate. So, some may well prefer to vote for Trump over Biden. But it’s up to us to make the sale.
My instinct is with you, OP. If we're this fucking far into the game and you still haven't figured it out, and even worse, moving farther left, you're probably a lost cause.
But, according to pedes here, people are still coming around. So perhaps I should learn greater patience.
We’re not welcoming them necessarily as a Bernie supporter, but as a potential “fuck you” to the establishment. That’s one thing we definitely have in common with the Bernouts, we both hate the establishment openly and with great enthusiasm.
Because life isn’t that clear cut. People learn and evolve. They realize they where screwed and reassess their values. A 18 year old might think Bernie and Dems are all unicorns and rainbows. After getting cheated, it’s better to end up over here than anywhere else
because election is a number game
