    I don't think it is, I've seen moderators use it that way.

      You might be right. Better be safe than sorry though.

        We all know who you're talking about so just name her: Mossrose.
        Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

          You could have put an eggplant up against Hillary and it would get 25% of the vote.


          I didn't know you were rewriting history already!!

          Sanders has big positive appeal. Without Democrat rigging, he had good chance to hijack Dem party (just like Trump with Reps).
          Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

            Bernie consistently polls as the most-liked politician in America.

            Hillary however was quite popular among registered Democrats (just not among anyone else). So during the Democratic primaries, most primary voters polled said they liked both Hillary and Bernie. Unfortunately voters in that primary largely refused to admit what the polls were saying: That among the rest of the people in America, who weren't voting in that primary but who would be voting in the general election, that Hillary was massively disliked, while Bernie was well-liked. I tried to explain that to some of the Hillary fans at the time, but they threw their toys out of the cot and screamed 'Bernie Bros' rather than listen to reason, and Paul Krugman spent the entire primary in his NYT column trying to break his own personal records for saying the dumbest things possible about how amazing he thought Hillary was and how terrible he thought Bernie was for no sane reasons.

            Sanders will presumably sail to presidential victory in 2020 given his popularity, assuming he's still alive at the time. I think the only thing that would prevent that is if Elizabeth Warren runs and he does a deal with her. Would be great to see a Sanders & Warren ticket though.

              Because he reminds everybody of their beloved nutty Uncle.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                no we allow things like "what the hell?"

                    He's liked in the same way Elmo is liked: Crazy hair, fun to watch, but you wouldn't put him in charge of anything.

                    It would have been interesting to see him win though.
                    I wonder if he'd be having the same issues as Trump but opposite.

                      Yeah, competence as compared to Trump's incompetence, knowledge as compared to Trump's ignorance, draining the swamp as compared to Trump's raising the swamp to whole new levels, raising US global standings rather than making the US a laughingstock, working instead of playing golf and watching TV... the same but opposite.
