What's "confusing" to you?

There is no contradiction between the two statements you voice here.

Trump congratulates Bernie on beating the Democrats. Well, Bernie did, resoundingly, today in the Nevada caucuses.

Buttigieg says Bernie isn't a Democrat. Also true. In fact, virtually all the Democrat candidates aren't democratic. They all rely on government force to implement their programs. Especially the programs that illegally take from people who earn money and redistribute it to those who earn less or none. Which is nearly all their programs.

"Democratic' is a label for those people, not a description.
Absolutely. The Democrats need someone not so divisive, isn't a socialist, and isn't a fudge Indian.

So kind for the President to congratulate Crazy Comrade Bernie. I don't think it really matters who the Dims nominate as a sacrificial lamb to the Trump monster except Crazy Bernie is likely to lead to a huge complete Republican takeover of all government.

Well the news out of this, is that Biden still lives.

Looks like the rest of the Democrats are going to be fighting over Biden, Buttigieg, and possibly Mini-Mike (who has yet to contest a single race).


We are early voting here. Might go vote for one of them this week.

But Buttigieg isn't so happy it seems.

Buttigieg sounds alarm after Sanders wins Nevada
"I believe the only way to truly deliver any of the progressive changes we care about is to be a nominee who actually gives a damn about the effect you are having, from the top of the ticket, on those crucial, front-line House and Senate Democrats running to win, who we need to win, to make sure our agenda is more than just words on a page," Buttigieg said.

"Sen. Sanders, on the other hand, is ignoring, dismissing, or even attacking the very Democrats we absolutely must send to Capitol Hill in order to keep Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, in order to support judges who respect privacy and democracy, and in order to send Mitch McConnell into retirement. Let’s listen to what those voices are telling us,"

Its funny to hear Buttigieg talk about the "effect you are having" when he does so poorly with blacks and Hispanics, who are core parts of the Democratic base

Actually it's looking like Black and Latino participation in NV is down in the primary from where it was in 2016. He may have a point.

Let's hope the Democrats nominate Bernie. IMO, the best Democrat to beat Trump however is Pete Buttigieg.

I agree. Democrats should nominate our strongest candidate, Bernie.

If it's Trump vs. Sanders in November, Putin can't lose!
