That is great for Bernie but he needs to win.  The whole reason Bernie went from Independent to Democrat is because he needed the national stage being part of the DNC supplies, the money and the voters.  Bernie is doing better now because this is his second go around but his health will be a big issue especially at his age so we will see if he can maintain momentum coming down the stretch.  

I will admit that money isn't everything but you definitely need to have enough to run in multiple states and succeed.  Being able to garner those swing states and maybe claw back the ones Trump won that were on the fence will be crucial.  Having the cash to run ads, make appearances and have people on the ground doing the leg work will be vital for success.

Yeah there are things in her past that she's lied about  that I personally can't forgive her for. The biggest example being claiming Native American heritage to use affirmative action to her advantage. Being over a third Native American myself and having a strong connection with my Native heritage that deeply offends me. To have a white women whose ancestors are likely responsible for the genocide and rape of my people turn around and falsely claim my heritage her own for years in order to have an advantage she already has by just being white is egregious to me and unforgivable. I realize I'm in the minority here because not a lot of people care about the struggles of Native people and we are constantly even barely an afterthought in American politics but it's something that's important and something Warren can't simply dismiss because it sticks with people that do care.

Bernie is my number 1, I'm with him 100%. I will continue to vigorously support, campaign, and vote for him until this is over.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

I do not understand the attempts to have a reasonable conversation with Snoopy. Pointless.

I believe he's trying to make the point that it is misleading to claim affiliation to a certain ethnic group unless you have at least 50% of genetic affinity with said group. Of course, such argument is fallacious on the basis that is simply not how ethnic affiliation works or has always worked in human history.

Take for instance Greeks and Turks, these historical enemies. Both have a mere 10% genetic similarity with their Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Turkic predecessors, and yet their entire culture, language etc. has been defined by these minorities for centuries or even millenia. Same for the population of the United States, of which less than 50% descend from Americans living there a mere century ago. Or the English, who believed they were pure Anglo-Saxons, but actually are 50% Insular Celts, which in turn were only 50% Proto-Indo-European...

No, he was just being a racially insensitive and offensive jackass. About 40%, maybe more, of my genetic make up is Native, for a multiracial person such as myself that's a majority. I ain't Warren who needs a genetic test to see if I am or not. Multiracial individuals can claim an ethnic group if a significant portion of their make up is of that group. Hell even 15% or 20% can be significant enough for some multiracial people. We're not lesser than our full-blooded counterparts, that's really offensive.

The Corporate media being the Corporate media.

Another fun fact is that we are, at best, 50th cousins of each other. Mathematically, it has to be so, as going back that far would be more than the number of humans that ever existed. In reality, the average human is much closer than that to any other random human. At one point, there were roughly 2,000 humans left on the planet, we almost went extinct, so really the genetic pool isn't all that large. The most recent common ancestor of all living humans lived about 2-4 thousand years ago, and will only get more recent as civilization becomes more mobile and global.

I don't understand why he's allowed in this thread. He's obviously not here to discuss the Democratic 2020 primary in good faith. It would be like if I went to the Republican thread and just said "Bernie 2020! Trump is toast!"
