Sanders' mistake is thinking that McConnell represents Kentuckians. What he represents are rich motherfuckers no matter where they be.

. . . while eerily and disturbingly resembling Mason Verger . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

No, he doesn't have anywhere near the head of curly hair Mason Verger had.
Also, given how insanely difficult it was for Congress to pass Obamacare, which is basically a neutered version of the sort of universal healthcare, I can only imagine Berniecare going so well. If it was this difficult to get it to pass even in a Democratically-controlled Senate and House (bear in mind, when it was signed into law in 2010, both houses were still in Democratic control), I cannot see a proper single-payer health care bill being passed by a Congress with Republican control of the Senate, House, and Presidency.

The idea, much like all changes that require a long uphill battle, is to keep talking about it, and keep people riled up, and keep trying until they get it done. It worked for blacks, and women, and it will work for the poor too.

The key difference was that, back then, we didn't have one of the two major political parties pandering to extremists. Sure, the Southern Democrats were still totally hung up on keeping the blackman down, but at least the rest of the Democrats were a bit more open-minded. Do you see a split in the Republican party like that? We just have the not-quite-far-right-wing, the far-right-wing, and the Nazi-in-all-but name.

I know, and the corporate dems need to go, but that's why we just have to keep fighting until it works. I know people are going to bitch and moan about splitting the democratic party, but it's not like letting the status quo ride is sustainable. They've already lost so much, the dems are going to be completely irrelevant unless dramatic change happens.

Well, maybe if Trump can somehow get Bernie Sanders to take some PCP-laced drink and slash up his face with a shard of broken glass... but given that Trump is the first President since James K. Polk to not have a pet, he doesn't have a dog (indeed, every president since William McKinley has had one) he can feed the chunks that fell off to.

Last I checked he had the lowest approval ratings of any senator.
Most of Kentucky is rural and poor.....but the money in kentucky is in predatory manufacturing plants and thoroughbred horses....nothin a redneck hates more than his boss, and that rich motherfucker across the fence. Round here it just so happens that both of those people are the same person.
The only time The Turtleman had the goodwill of this state was when we were a model for how obamacare would work, lol.
