Bernie has been doing really good work in South Carolina recently:

Andre Gillum would be a great choice too.
I know he's not a woman, but I feel like he will be considered too
Kind of like the relationship Hillary and Obama had in his administration.
Send email. Whisper to media and social media there is no donate button. Praise comes, donation buttons are clicked. Profit. Can't believe some of you are this naive these are politicians
Yeah. I don't know but don't think it'd be Harris. A black or other minority woman would be my guess and the best choice imo, but not Harris. I think Abrams, but there it'd be the opposite and instead of Sanders not wanting her it'd more be a question of if she would be willing to do that. I'm wondering if she'll decide to run or not and then if she does and does not become the nominee, then maybe she would accept VP with someone like Sanders or Warren as the nominee.
I certainly wouldn't mind any of the three in either of the positions assuming Abrams isn't having meetings with the Pelosi's of the party.
Edit again: Abrams should really run. She could almost immediately become a front runner or at least be the next Buttigieg (polling wise) imo.

Abrams' definitely has a shot, and has shown signs she's interested in that sort of position. Would she go with Bernie, however? That is the question.
Agreed.

Still can't believe it's the same guy who did this NY house music classic:
laws mandating rent control for working-class renters
This would be a gamechanger. I hope it's accompanied by laws that punishes vacant properties because landlords will discriminate against the working class.
While I agree with the general sentiment, right now in Minneapolis, the problem we are having is, all that's getting built are fancy ultra expensive condominiums or high end apartments. No one is building with the goal of "affordable housing". So I think rent control is going to be needed sometime in the future here, prices keep going up for everyone.
Fancy high end condos keep upper class people from moving into lower class neighborhoods and gentrifying them!
That's not what's happening though, those fancy condos and high end apartments ARE moving into middle and lower class neighborhoods here and then our apartments are getting "converted" into more expensive places as well.
Hell yeah, man is putting in the work for the south. It'll be hard to argue he's just doing a repeat of 2016's campaign.
Yes, because not enough housing is getting built. If you think that the gentrifiers are gentrifying as their first choice, you misunderstand their motivations- the upper class people move into upper-middle class neighborhoods, which pushes upper-middle into middle, etc. etc. It's why the first wave of gentrification isn't rich people, it's the lower middle class moving into lower class neighborhoods.
That's my top choice on nearly every ticket. Gives him clout in the Federal position and he'll be in the Senate plenty. Also puts him in better recognition spot to go back and compete for the Gov or Senate from Florida while having that profile he could also start to whip Florida Dems into shape.
O reason to take Gillum over Abrams of you want someone outside the candidate field. Really the nominee should pick the 2nd or 3rd runner up as vp if they accept
Yeah he's really turning it around imo. That's probably his team surrounding him at least as much as Sanders himself, but if nothing else it tells me he's picking the right people for the job. Pretty soon some of his detractors are going to have to come up with some brand new narratives to push. I admit though if he was to be attacked on anything, racial/minority issues was a big one that he needed/needs to work on.
This may seem a bit random but I found a clip of biden talking about having to invent an israel if there wasn't any
I think i'm so done with these kinds of politcions. For me the fact that Bernie Sanders is a jewish man against the apartheid methods in which israel was created and is sustained tells me much about the man's sincerity. There's few like him in politics. Very few

He called for furthering the investigation before beginning impeachment proceedings.
Do you really not understand that he's not talking about the apartheid state aspect and instead the "a lot of Jewish people are understandably freaked out after the holocaust" part?
Lame. This is worse than Watergate. There are multiple prosecutable obstruction of justice charges in the report not to mention all of his campaign finance violations.
If you had to pick one strategy as the winning one, which would it be:
Go after moderates/fence sitters, or go after non-voters/rarely voters?
Go after moderates/fence sitters, or go after non-voters/rarely voters?
Moderates. Non voters will always find an excuse not to vote
He says invent an israel to protect our interest in the region. What would joe biden even mean with that.
Iranian revolution had occurred 6-7 years earlier. It's a bizarre statement, especially since S.A. effectively became what he was talking about. (US->SA, Russia->Iran has been a thing for a long long time.)
This wasn't obvious from the quoted context. (don't assume people are going to watch your links.)
This is so much BS, not only is he dismissing criticism of unequivocally supporting a genocidal state even financially, he is also suggesting the need of colonization.
There is no way you can possibly spin that as anything other than something absolutely horrible.
This. Democratic candidates should above the fray. Gillum's loss was as painful to me as Hillary Clinton's. I don't think he should be a presidential or VP candidate.
Tell us why you think the statement is idiotic instead of drive-by posting.
No one who has looked at the problem in any close detail could possibly make the argument that we just need to build more housing, without talking out of their ass.
Kirblar usually doesn't make statements without having looked at the matter, so someone clearly could.
I think you missed my question, since you still haven't clarified why you considered that such an outrageous statement.
Because the problem isn't that we don't have enough housing. Kirblar is just making shit up to fit his narrative, cherry-picking data that fits within it and stating it as fact. He does this with nearly everything he talks about.
If you actually care to look into it more, that Cities Skylines vid up above is a good start. If you want to go a little deeper I recommend reading Capital City by Samuel Stein. There's plenty of David Harvey vids out there too.
Walking around a city a bit goes a long way too. I recommend it.
