Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

You think a post saying Bernie would have won 2024 means that people think he should run in 2028?

I'm not following...

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

"A" post? I've seen the same dumbass post 84 times in the last 48 hours. It's a lemmy thing I guess.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm saying Bernie supporters gonna Bernie. Hence "In before..."

Bernie was no more capable of winning '24 than '28. Fans will still float the idea.

I swear, it's like the Ron Paul fanbase all over again.

So your problem is the author?

Why link the Lemmy post then with comments that agreed with what I said?

Bernie was no more capable of winning '24 than '28

The thing is, we're all talking about people wanting Bernie to run in 2028.

And for "proof" of that supposedly being popular...

You linked an article about how he would have won in 2024, and you're saying he couldn't and can't win 2028 either?

I feel like we're having two different conversations here

I'm saying Bernie fans are going to be Bernie fans, and if you read my top comment the "in before" clearly means "this comment takes place before any Bernie fans say he should run in '28".

Supporting that statement is the link showing Bernie fans saying he would have won in '24.

Inb4” (short for “in before”) is used to predict something that will be posted by another user.

Right.

And I said:

Every onc and a while I’ll see a comment wanting him to run, but it usually only has one up vote, a shit ton of down votes, and comments from progressives explaining how Bernie shouldn’t run.

And to prove me wrong...

You linked a post where everyone was saying Bernie shouldn't have won in 2028.

I dunno man, maybe I blocked some accounts and aren't seeing the same thing on that link as you.

But it doesn't seem like we're going to work this one out.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago

Give up. Your arguing with frothing at the mouth Bernie supporters who will down vote anything you say that could even be perceived as negative.

FWIW, I heard him on NPR back in 2015 and had no idea who was speaking.

"LOL. This idiot out hear speaking the truth. He's going to get smeared. Who is this fool?"
