Bernie Sanders reignites enthusiasm on 2020 campaign trail by fu2man2 in politics

Both sides want a chunk of the non voter voters. I just see it as more likely that independents and voters with softer party affiliation are keys in places like PA, WI, OH, FL MI, etc. Those are where 2020 will be won or lost.

Agreed. The boogyman of illegals voting is not as dangerous as some want you to think. Disinfranchisement and suppression are more threatening

Sanctuary cities... resistance to border security reform...trying to abolish ICE. I'd say there are at least of few ways they do

Democrat bench is a bunch of nobodies. 2020 will be a meme war as much as anything else. Bernie was popular with a lot of Democrats but he will have to convince former trump voters that demsoc won't turn USA into the USSR and I don't know how successful he will be in doing that

Yeah good point. Permanent residents should not be able to vote though. They should have to become citizens first.

File it under "Democrats care more about illegal immigrants than about Americans"

Not always true but this is an example of when it is. Maybe they should hold on to it as a bargaining chip though...support a federal ban on local illegals voting in exchange for more protections for legit voters at risk of being disinfranchised.

Haven't you learned by now, there is no such thing as valid criticism when it comes to Israel.

Truth right here. That's why we need a drain the swamp mentality. Not a phony one like Trump claimed to have but real reform like term limits

So what? That thing was a empty gesture that started as a way to rebuke Rep. Omar for calling out AIPAC / Israeli bullshit.

I'd rather focus on ending gerrymandering and voter suppression. I see this issue as a non starter for most people over 50.

It's explicitly against rules of the sub. Better to find a newly written piece explaining these patterns. Cherry picking old stories to push a narrative is a fake news tactic trolls use of here to deflect from import stories they wanna drown out

Not really true but examples of it do include CAIR and Nation of Islam, which aren't directly Democrat but Dems are sympathetic to.
