He said it live on TV Dude. He said 1.5 million out of 200.
In the hind site when you look at it, says all the right things gets the good chunk of votes and then in 2016 he was put aside even though leading Hillary. In 2020 same thing. He was doing well and then he endorsed Biden.
His base did not appreciate that. Because it just voided their votes. Bernie base have nothing to do with Biden. And that is why in 2016 some of them voted trump as protest. And then 2020 broke the camel's back and after 4 years of global crisis they abandoned the party overwhelmingly.
Now see what Bernie says, Democrats do. The neocons only bring in their kind of war living people. That is why two democrat presidential candidates were not welcomed in DNC. Keep in mind he is an independent. He just caucuses with Democrats.
Democrats need to end this war and hawkish philosophy and stick to being the party of people. Wars are wrong. Trump starts it or Biden starts it. It is wrong.
Now, what do you think Democrats should do.

Farzad, Bernie has not lost his respect nor my support. He is against taking money from PACs and is the only one confronting and holding Pharma accountable in hearings. He is also one of the very few against APAC and AID to Israel for genocide. He is the only senator I know that is asking for campaign finance reform banning PACs. Again, he may be no saint but he is better than all of them. I wish he would create a new party based on his ideas.
What you mentioned is a MAGA talking point based on Alternative Facts (read Lies). Read this article: https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/big-pharma-pac-contributions-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-open-secrets-data/
Means’ claim, while an accurate representation of OpenSecrets data, is highly misleading. Sanders, in fact, received no contributions at all from political action committees affiliated with drug companies, or from top pharmaceutical executives. But because of a quirk in the site’s methodology, donations from individual, low-ranking employees are counted the same as official contributions from corporate PACs.
The Democratic Party needs a major transformation.
It can no longer be a top-down, billionaire-funded, consultant-driven party. It must be a multi-generational, multi-racial working class party.

Good. And thanks for sharing your opinion. But I don't think you are done. 200 more weeks left. No. I am not fiscally completely on Republican side. What republicans did in GWB era if you recall dow dropped from 14,000 to 6800. The establishment since Bill Clinton had added $40 Trillions deficit. The country is completely at the verge of economic collapse. 2 trillion dollars for just paying the interest on this debt is a crime. That is more than the budget for our National security. And the endless Ukraine war at our expense on top of it. No talks of stopping, the order was to just keep fighting. Again funded by neocon warmongers in charge. (I don't even say Joe). These mother fucker neocons destroyed bill Clinton. All the Monica Lewinsky stuff was orchestrated by the same warmonger Neocons to pressure Clinton. Obama also fought them hard. But they infiltrated in Biden Admin mainly because of Biden's critical role with these warmongers from Cheney era. That is how Liz Cheney got the medal of freedom. Good for you for voting Jill stein. By far better than the ultra right wing neoconservative republicans who were running the show and demolished Gaza. My daughter also voted Jill as a protest to the self proclaimed Zionist administration. At the end though and Unfortunately when it comes to israel this country has absolute unconditional bond. Everyone since Carter tried. Israel is essentially an Alaska in the Middle East. No one can fuck with it. And that is the bitter reality whether we like it or not. It is a turning point for this country and the globe. With the wars we were getting nowhere and I think at the end the plan was to get US involved in that war. Which would have been the end of USA. Let's see if trump is successful. I hope he will be as the alternate was gloomy. I don't think you care if it is Trump or somebody else's as long as they are successful and prosperous for all of America. Fingers crossed. We were doomed anyways, because of who was in charge. I gave trump a chance. And I hope he makes it for the sake of America. I wish I had you guys' peesh Bini skills. I don't. I went with how he did in his first term before Covid. And life was good. Big big era now and history in making.

Happy Norouz to all!
Farzad, since you asked me, I did vote but for Jill Stein as protest vote against Democrats. But if California was pivotal I would have voted for Kamala. I am in principal in agreement with some of the fiscal conservatism advocated by Republicans but not Trumps approach. We are not talking about the principals of the policies, but how it is being implemented by childish and egotistic criminals. Clinton shrunk the government but he did it methodically and no one even noticed except for the surplus at the end of his term.
The the racist billionaire and orange stein (Elon and Felon show) lack decency and empathy to be leaders and make decisions affecting average citizens livelihood while making billions in subsides and profits. That is the point of contention. Simply they are not qualified. I know he was elected by people and elections do have consequences. But we can protest and express our dissatisfaction vocally (BTW I am not advocating violence or destruction as happened in Jan 6).
How would you feel if your CEO came out and said your salary is good will donation and you don't deserve it? That is what Musk said about SS ("SS is a Ponzi scheme") that people have paid into it all their lives and now are afraid of losing their benefits to give subside to Elon and special interests (Pharma, APAC, Oil, ...) and tax cut to corps.
I am done. You can carry on with praising the emperor (or messiah as Cyrus put it). ![[biggrin]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D")

That’s ok Cyruss. Next time as it was suggested, vote. The vote in California was actually important. Not enough votes in NY and Ca translated to a mandate. We can’t keep barking and do nothing. Those who don’t vote just criticize, no matter who the president is. Which is ok. That is why they don’t vote. They don’t believe in this system. But those who vote, election has consequences and you win and are jubilant or you concede and move on and try next time. I understand you were stuck between a self proclaimed Zionist and an asshole.
Like to hear how democrats are reconstructing and what their game plan is if you have any insight.

Thanks. Saeed. So kind of you. Happy Norooz to you too. It is up and running for you guys. Maintaining it is time consuming.
At the end everything will be alright. You are emotional (yet objective) on your stuff. From technology to politics. At least you debate and you show the depth of your knowledge and it is not limited to false rumors, jokes, cartoons, or 15 seconds out of context video clip. The rest are just having fun and not very serious. It shows. And I enjoy them too. Some of them are really funny.
With that said. You, yes you , what do you do with Gaza of now?

It does not bother me at all. I myself call him a fucking asshole sometimes. Two things. One, I thought it is well understood in a progressive society we do not mess with color of skin. Forget black and orange. We can no longer say Redskins anymore. The name changed because of reference to the color of skin. Two, I always believe name calling is as a result of personal vendetta or just having no points to argue.
Coming from someone who claims to be progressive and liberal, it simply nullifies everything.
I called the president dead man because he was just not in charge. All of my issues with the last admin was penetration of Neocon warmonger republicans from Cheney era in that admin. From Nuland to Kagan to Kristiol to Blinken. Instigating a war which had no endgame plans. To this date no one even my democrat friends do know where this war heading to.
Have no problem with you calling him by the color of his skin. I really don’t. I just wanted to bring to your attention whether you are aware of it. Because sometime we just don’t.

If I were messiah, I would have worried about my basis reaction to social security threats. If thousands show up to a Bernie town hall at a red state, is a sign to be concerned. No wonder the republicans have been told not to hold town halls.

Comments:
Farzad Jon, if it bothers you I will not call him orange stain. Tangerine stain is a little harder to type but will do.
I don’t know if you know or care to know, but the phrase orange stain being used in reference to Trump, is based on symbolism of colors in literature world. Gold and orange, symbolize rich and powerful.
Last I checked , Trump is a white dude and his allegiance is to white people. In fact there is no skin color as orange.
My reference to orange stain is as much a commentary on skin color as yours to Biden as brown stain.
You called him brown stain based on that funny fake video clip of him farting. So you attributed a skin color reference based on a presumed behavior. As did I . Rich and powerful ( orange) staining our nation
My apologies if messiah was insulted!

Nobody can argue about Musk entrepeneurship skills. Results shows. But at the same time, noone can deny he is a sick man. Look, lay off is part of US corporations. We have all seen them first hand at our companies, but leader of companies going through such cost cuting measures try to act very humanly as much as possible. But this guy seem to be delightful about seeing people hurt. This only show how sick is this bastard. There is not other word to express it.

Saeed, I went and saw the whole Neuralink stuff...and the Monkeys... Incredible and amazing... Beyond imagination. But again, you are angry, I can understand. You were not posting this stuff about him last year or ever. He has always been a good liberal, progressive, and a Democrat person. Democrats have no one but to blame themselves with the party's agenda and nonesense......It is not a good thing when an ex commrade like Elon is being attacked by the same party he always supported all along..... All he is saying is that the Party is not the same... Wokeism really fucked the Party up... But I think it is possible for a DNC comeback. What never worked is name callings...It added more than 15 million voters to Trump. I think with a good agenda, new faces, and back to common sense there will be a chance. You need both Democrats and Republicans to have a strong United States. History proved that. ![[image]](https://external-preview.redd.it/lEyDtwAL4Lh6cOdbVJslJFozIClc8CZFuEz8x1AW1oc.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=6b804ce4c9cf5b8c338b0a04ea85dd0ffc105ada)

Farzad, I give Musk credit for his entrepreneurial skills, but as far as scientific achievements, he can’t really claim much. Falcon 9 first stage landing is the only new technology in space programs since 60s, others like Blue Origin is also there along with SpaceX.
I visited Nasa Space Center inHouston last week and for first time I saw the mighty Saturn V rocket up close, and I can tell you Elon and Jeff Bezo’s companies are some distance away from Apollo program of 60-70 era.

Now the facts vs. "Alternative Facts":
Este artículo estará disponible en español en El Tiempo Latino. The return of astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after an extended stay on the International Space Station has been the subject of competing claims about the actions of the Trump and Biden administrations in bringing them home. White House adviser Elon Musk, whose SpaceX company aided the astronauts’ return, said he had offered last year to bring the two astronauts home much sooner but the Biden administration declined for “political reasons.” NASA and space experts, including the two astronauts themselves, dispute that the decision was based on politics. In a press conference on March 4, NASA officials said safety, budget concerns about a separate mission to retrieve the astronauts and a desire to keep a crew on the space station were the reasons driving the decision to have Williams and Wilmore return with a SpaceX crew, which is expected to land on Earth today. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly claimed that he expedited the return of the astronauts after making a personal appeal to Musk. The mission to return the two astronauts has been in the works since late last summer, and the timeline for their return is roughly in line with that plan.
In August 2024, NASA announced that it would be using SpaceX’s Dragon capsule to bring back the astronauts in February 2025. In September, the mission launched Crew-9 with NASA’s Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, who successfully reached the International Space Station on Sept. 29. The capsule was launched with two empty seats for the crew, including Williams and Wilmore, to return in February, after being replaced on the space station by astronauts from Crew-10. NASA officials said late February was the earliest the crew could return on SpaceX without interrupting other scheduled missions. In recent months, Musk and Trump have claimed the Biden administration decided to leave the astronauts on the space station until after the November election to avoid bad publicity.

But more importantly Commercial Real Estate. I do understand. Most people against Trump have issues with his personality and do not understand the politics behind it. That's all they know. And that is when they resort to name calling, be it racist, or make fun or insult him by his skin color proves exactly that. Yes democrats.

Farzad: I never owned Tesla car, as I did not find it attractive inside. In fact, quite opposite. I did own their stock for quite a while, and thankfully made good money on it. But sold my position some time back as it is obvious that large number of people have become annoyed by even mentioning the name. I find it puzzling that a business man like Musk behave in such a childish manner. You can tell some of his brain screw have become too loose. How do you upset masses, if you run a business? Business 101. I will buy Tesla puts soon, despite being down more 50% of its high. There is still lot more to go down.

Anti-Tesla protests are being fuelled by a Democratic mega-donor – whose ex-husband is one of Elon Musk’s closest pals. Billionaire Steve Jurvetson, 58, was an early investor in Tesla, served on its board until December 2020 and continues to sit on Musk’s SpaceX board. However, his ex-wife, California psychiatrist Karla Jurvetson, 58, doled out more than $500,000 to Indivisible Action, a political action group linked to a non-profit directing the protests against Musk, according to public records. Indivisible, a Washington-based advocacy group, is sponsoring “Musk or Us” demonstrations across the country this week. The group proves a “toolkit” on their website featuring graphics and anti-Tesla protest signs as well as information about how to conduct town halls.
