Bernie is having a good week
A couple days go Amazon caved under pressure from Bernie and worker activists, and gave 350,000 of their workers raises.
On Wednesday he proposed a bill to break up the big Wall Street banks.
Yesterday, Bernie saved a young woman from getting run over.
Amy Currotto was deep in thought as she headed to a guitar lesson on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and wasn't paying attention as she started to cross a busy intersection.She was walking straight into oncoming traffic when Sen. Bernie Sanders stepped in and saved the day.
"Sen. Sanders was apparently behind me," Currotto told Business Insider. "He didn't grab me or anything," she said, but started shouting, "Ma'am! Ma'am!"
Today a Gallup poll came out, and it turns out that people feel pretty much the same about Bernie that they always thought about him, like when he was favored to beat Trump.
In the more than three years Gallup has tracked Sanders' favorability, his favorable ratings have consistently outweighed his unfavorable ones -- only twice were they tied. Since February 2016, shortly after Sanders' victory in the New Hampshire Democratic primary, his positive ratings began regularly outpacing his negative ratings by double digits, and majorities of Americans have viewed him favorably since June 2016.
In Gallup's most recent poll, conducted Sept. 4-12, Sanders has a much more favorable image than either of the other major contenders in the 2016 presidential election -- Hillary Clinton (36%) and President Donald Trump (41%).
Since the election, Sanders has gone on to use his political pulpit to champion progressive causes, including calling on McDonald's and Amazon to raise their minimum wages to $15, pushing for procedural changes in the Democratic Party's nomination process, introducing a bill to break up large banks and continuing to push for "Medicare for all" healthcare legislation.
After Sanders' advocacy of progressive views on the campaign trail and in the two years since, Gallup recently found that Democrats now view socialism more favorably than they do capitalism.
Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, is most popular among Democrats (78%), as would be expected, but a majority of independents (54%) also view him favorably. Meanwhile, more than twice as many Republicans view him unfavorably (69%) as favorably (26%).
Sanders' ratings are mixed among whites, with nearly half viewing him favorably and half unfavorably. But, consistent with their more Democratic political orientation, nearly two in three nonwhites (64%) have a positive view of Sanders.

Good ol' Bernie

I read that schmuck Bezos
took away benefits to compensate for the raise. What an asshole.
And Musk is freaking out. Any ordinary person would be undergoing psych evaluation.
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
Yep
I'd love for him to run again but under the Green label
or Socialist Worker. ANYTHING but the Corruptocrat Democratic label. Let's see a three way with Bernie, Biden and Trump. Especially after the stock market tanks as it looks like it will. Republicans ALWAYS feed business too much candy and not enough discipline.

Count me out
if he runs as a demwit.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
bing! Exactly.
kill two parties with one stone.
No way he wins the Dim primary - and why would he want to?

Well, him running as a dem
No way he wins the Dim
Primary. Not a chance.
If he's serious about running - and word is he is -
then his Only option is to run 3rd party, (WFP or {gasp} the Greens).
The Only way he has a shot.
Not that it makes a yuuuge difference if he does win, but it surely beats the status quo!

I don't think they'd let him
what? Bernie vs Biden vs Trump?
that's a no-brainer from where I watch out to you folks over there in 'good ol Uncle Sam country'.
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.... yeah I think he has some friends over here at the other side of the pond.

64% favorable among non-whites
Markos' head just exploded.
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
So true. n/t

Bernie in 2020
I'd support Bernie in 2020. He's a fighter with integrity. If the Democratic nomination hadn't been stolen by HRC and the DNC, Bernie would have won in 2016 and we wouldn't have to be witnessing a Kavanaugh confirmation plus a 1000 other abominations. Ugh!
More half-assed bullshit from a half-assed candidate.
There, I said it. But hey, whatever floats the boat I guess.
Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.
