Joe Biden: What's a revolution going to do?

1. 30 Years?

30 years? That is how long Bernie has been in office. Anyone checked the condition of his State lately? If you can not improve your state in 30 years,how will you improve a country?

2. We do not need revolution

3. We need to finally put an end to the Reagan Revolution once and for all

40 long years we've been living with Ronnie's trickle-down supply-side voodoo economics bullshit. Clinton & Obama only managed to slow it down a little as best they could given the Republican Congresses they had for most of their terms. But when a Gopper got back in after each one left they promptly cranked it right back up again. THAT is what has led to much of our skyrocketing deficits. Tax cuts on steroids that were supposed to "pay for themselves" but never ever even came close.

We don't need to replace one ill-advised "revolution" with yet another. America goes fastest and advances the farthest when we're zooming down the middle of the road...preferably to the left of the centerline and sometimes a little to the right of it if need be. But constantly careening back and forth banging off of one guard rail and then off the other ain't no way to run a country.

Joe's a straight-shooter and I'm betting he also knows how to steer a car straight too. Hoping enough Americans are smart enough to toss him the keys.

4. sanders is a ranter, has always ranted and always failed to accomplish anything except rant.

perhaps the ranting is fine with other "pie-in-the-sky types but WE WHO have pragmatism and longtime knowledge understand the reality of what it takes to go from point A to point B and it takes work with in the system we have. That is what sanders has failed, he does not like doing the ACTUAL HARD WORK and that would go with many of his followers who like to sit around and complain and hope for pi-in-the-sky magic to happen.

6. I have listen to sanders ranting since he came on the national stage, I am not saying

he doesn't have legit complaints but he always see the only solution must come from the "outside", mostly due to the fact he alienates others so much so he sees the change must come from a "revolution"

its attractive bullshit for the young and the idealist who lack the where-for-all to roll up their sleeves and do what is needed to be done in fixing what we have and then improve upon that. No way is that "sexy" and requires way more than drinking latte's and playing their xboxes

7. Bernie kind of changes the subject

because Biden won in those states when he did not have money shows it is not an exact match - the more money spent, the more votes you get. It's kind of insulting to the voters - telling us we respond only to $$ spent on the campaign. Bloomberg did manage to get some interest by just spending money and had some temporary success in the polls - I remember that week when the pundits were all Bloomberg all the time. But in the end, do we vote for someone because of the $$ spent or the pundits? Not an exact match. Bernie assumes the billionaires have a say in proportion to their money spent on campaigns and that every congressperson votes according to the interests of whoever gave the most money.

8. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie...

Why don't you join the "establishment" that's trying to do many of the things you insist we need a revolution for.

Bernie has had ZERO cooperation for even his better ideas. If he can't get two like minded Senators to back him up so far, how in bloody hell do we imagine he could get a whole Congress to pass his bullshit agenda?

If he even has an agenda. He's right that the lower half of the population is worse off, but he shows no understanding of why and no concept of what to do about it. Same with the rest of his ranting.
