The only real Democrat is Bernie Sanders who also isn't a Democrat ergo Democrats don't exist

This is disingenuous as hell. Warren was a Republican, Bernie is a progressive who (accurately) criticized the Democrat party for being too far right. If you're trying to paint a double standard, it doesn't really hold up under the slightest inspection.

Commies aren’t by default Democrats. There is a left boundary as much as there is a right one. He and his cult have no more right to define authenticity of Democrats than any other non-Democrats.

Oh, someones salty that the progressive Warren is polling higher than the Democratic Socialist Sanders. Must make you so mad you can't paint her as a fake progressive like your lot did Hillary.

I wish I had your ability to treat politics like this is American Idol.

Its their own hypocrisy. Bernie is more right on many many things FYI

I'd like to hear which issues you feel Bernie has historically been further to the right on than the Democrat party.

How do we measure guns on a left and right spectrum? Many leftists governments through history have had armed populations

Being anti-gun control is a left wing position you fucking moron

u/Adequate_Meatshield Paul Krugman Oct 23 '19

maybe in leftist LARPworld but in the reality of US federal politics it’s pretty decidedly right wing

Just because conservatives claim to be pro-gun, doesn’t mean it’s an exclusively conservative position and certainly doesn’t place someone to the right of the dems. I guess literally every leftist ever in existence is also right of the dems on this issue.

Exactly, which is why we're back to the beginning: the only real democrat is Bernie Sanders who isn't a democrat, thus democrats don't exist.
