Sanders is a nice guy and like him but he doesn't stand a chance getting the nom.
Firstly, he's a political lightweight. His international connections are virtually non-existant. Now factor in his stances (most of which I like) about being anti-corporate, fairer taxation, pro choice, for pro gun control, pro single payer healthcare, pro socialist, anti defense spending (etc etc etc), and he's basically basically alienated all the most powerful political lobbying groups that exist, and control, our political system.
For better or for worse, Hillary has spent the last 40 year in politics, knows every world leader and diplomat personally (Angela Merkel is one of her closest friends), has incredibly strong business and political connections, not to mention she's a legacy.
She has serious global platform experience and whether or not you like her, if you asked, who really has the chance to be the first female POTUS, there's simply no-one with the caliber, expertise or gravitas that Hillary has.
You also have to realize her campaign has been rolling since 2012 when she started making the exit as secretary basically to focus on her upcoming campaign. That's 4 years in the making. Sanders simply can't catch up, no matter how enthused Reddit or your facebook feed may be.
Don't forget, in the late stages of the election, the smaller political details don't matter - it comes down to one line, single bullet point positions.
Hillary will be: Vote for the the 1st Female president. |
This is the narrative the media keeps pushing, dismissing and flat out ignoring Bernie Sanders. I find it suspicious that the media, even political pundits and comedians, keep dismissing Bernie like the plague, when his stance on many issues (wars, cops, gun violence, Wall St, healthcare, education, etc) are on point and many people would agree, while Hillary either ignores those questions or doesn't have any solutions, yet the media keep pushing for Hillary, like she's the obvious choice or something and the public should just get on board without question. Am I missing something here? Doesn't Hillary seem corrupt, working for both sides, Main St and Wall St, to majority of the public? Doesn't she seem like yet another corrupt politician, like the disappointment Obama turned out to be?
Resentingly, I think if she wins, she would win because of being the 1st female president, just like Obama was voted unfortunately for being just the 1st black president, rather than basing on qualifications and abilities. But I think people are smarter than that now, are more aware now, compared to few years ago. That's why Bernie Sanders is picking up steam, because people are now not buying or settling for BS or typical politician, on both sides.
