Bernie Sanders draws big crowd, Tlaib endorsement in Detroit

[sheshe2]

"We need a new vision for American and that's what our campaign is about," he said. "The most important and significant opposition we face .. is the limitation to our imaginations.

The rally ended a long day for Sanders, touring Detroit with Tlaib, who dubbed the very deliberately chosen spots as the "Corporate Greed" tour of the city.

Bernie has always been able to draw rally crowds. Nothing suggests he’s regained any political support.

20. Bernie is doing great, Biden has indicated every sign that he is fading.

His lead has fallen to single digits. As he fades, his supporters will start to gravitate to their number two choice, which polls indicate is bernie.

[brooklynite]

25. Biden votes aren't going to go to Bernie...

[Tiggeroshii]

29. 27% will according to morning consult

Which is more than for any other candidate. Most polls indicate that sanders supporters will go to biden and vice versa.

3. Great speech! We can do it!

Because we have to!

Go Bernie!!!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

5. Free Press picked out horrible picture of Bernie

That's the way these people roll …..

[NurseJackie]

7. What's wrong with it? Looks fine to me.

Is this a beauty pageant or a primary?

[Tiggeroshii]

11. Agreed. A lot of his appeal comes from the fact he doesnt care about beauty.

He looks like badass bernie ready to take on American plutocracy.

[ehrnst]

32. Yes, white men in power have that privilege.

“I don’t think you would find many bankers or lawyers with those haircuts,” said Anne Kreamer, the author of “Going Gray: What I Learned About Beauty, Sex, Work, Motherhood, Authenticity and Everything Else That Really Matters.” “It’s a mark of individualism: ‘We are not of the ordinary rank and file.’ It marks considerable self confidence.”

Kristen M. Barber, an assistant professor of sociology at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, sees evidence of class status. “There is a sign there that you are not worried about being judged,” said Ms. Barber, the author of “Styling Masculinity: Gender, Class and Inequality in the Men’s Grooming Industry.”

“These men have the privilege of not caring,” she said. “The idea is that they’re too smart and busy. It almost becomes symbolic of how dedicated they are to their art and their science.”

[Tiggeroshii]

33. That's true. Nonetheless he's earned that reputation, as opposed to others.

[ehrnst]

35. As a white man in power with privilege? Yes, I agree.

[Tiggeroshii]

37. He's an amazing congress personand has done some amazing things.

He is recognized for that accomplishment. GO BERNIE!!!

[Tiggeroshii]

34. Some exceptions include Rosa Delauro, whose eccentric hairdo also seems to earn her respect.

[BlueMTexpat]

18. ...

[melman]

23. That's why OP posted the thread

[comradebillyboy]

26. The Free Press is responsible for his slovenly and unkempt appearance?

Bernie's level of personal grooming leaves a lot to be desired under the best of circumstances.

[LanternWaste]

31. Yup. As always, either blame the media or blame the polls. Again.

"That's the way these people roll ….."

[ehrnst]

38. +1000. (nt)

[ehrnst]

36. The 'free press' really irritates some people, doesn't it? (nt)

[George II]

6. I know he paid tribute to John Conyers, who we lost this morning, but did he give him credit...

...for originating Medicare for All?

8. I can't wait until Bernie is our nominee and you fighting for him!

We all need your fighting spirit!

Now, Go Bernie!!!!

[sheshe2]

9. I plan to fight with all I got!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. Right there with you... Bernie's got our back, so, of course, we got his!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[BlueMississippi]

15. I'll have a lukewarm fight nt

[myohmy2]

13. Go Bernie!!

...

[BlueMississippi]

14. That pic of BS is right on the money! nt

[Tiggeroshii]

22. Determined, ready to beat down the plutocracy?

Bad. Ass.

[Hortensis]

27. We need to defeat the Republicans. Without the senate and presidency

there will be no new vision. So gaining the power to fix problems and create advances at the same time must come first.

In their collective wisdom, our electorates often choose to "balance" power, such as giving Obama a rabidly hostile Republicans in both houses of congress to block everything he wanted to do. And Obama was a moderate progressive liberal with views that appealed to a good majority.

Sanders is extremely unlikely to become president because he's not; but if he did, the electorate would virtually certainly choose to keep him from going too far by reelecting McConnell and company, and adding to them. That he won't be president is still a plus, though. Unlike candidates who are out of work when they drop out, Sanders will continue to serve in the senate and can lead his colleagues toward a new vision from the seat of great power.

28. For Someone Who's Doing So Good

he doesn't look very happy

[Uncle Joe]

30. Bernie was viewing the devastation of the corporate greed tour,

I wouldn't expect him to be smiling about it?

[ehrnst]

39. Perhaps he's feeling the effects of going back on the campaign trail so soon after a

coronary arrest.

He's not a young man.

[Me.]

40. Could Be

Cause he sure looks unhappy
