    You’re right, we should send Bernie to CPAC. Bet he’ll win over lots of hearts and minds.

      That’s what Teamsters did at the RNC and people were far more angry at Teamsters than Republicans happy at hearing a working class message.

      It’s better than sending him to a room full of people who already aggrees with him. It’s kind of the point

        That is the goal in a functioning democracy. That description no longer applies to the US. Our country’s voter base is made up of political illiterates, our new voters get less educated every year, and our elected officials and their oligarch counterparts are running at full tilt in an attempt to normalize and formalize flagrant disregard for our constitution.

          Which means it’s even more important for charismatic people to talk to the proverbial “other side”, because they don’t have any other ways to hear the information they don’t know they need.

      Only if you send him with a fucking machine gun. Although bless him, he would never be into that.

      I so wish he hadn’t been prevented from being president by the corrupt democrats.
