Current Events > Is Bernie the most 'exciting' of the candidates?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Crazy Bernie.

Hes only allowed to be as exciting as everyone else - everyone is the same and should be measured and treated as such

He's as charismatic as the crumbled newspapers used for packaging.

The last 2 Democratic presidents were charismatic and bowed down to their corporate masters.

Obama literally spent more time with JAY-Z than caring about income inequality

He's charming in that adorable grandpa sort of way

I can totally imagine going into a cozy old house on the hill, family pictures hanging on the wall, listening to Bernie talk your ear off about billionaires not paying their taxes while Jane makes pancakes for breakfast

He doesn't have to be charismatic to be exciting.

I mean if someone, say, 25 years younger was running on his policy platform they'd probably be a bit more exciting. But we get what we get.

Bernie has more charisma in his finger than Trump does in his entire (high BMI) body

the fact alone that the democratic establishment is losing their minds over him makes his candidacy an interesting one

See thats the thing - the narratives and reactions that are built around Bernie are way more exciting than I think the man himself actually is. Like literally someone could take a fifteen minute video of him eating soup in a diner and at the end he just nods to himself and says Hm. Thats pretty good soup. and within ten minutes theres an entire army of people tweeting about Soup King while a panel of talking heads on MSNBC clutching their pearls and falling on their fainting chairs over him being sort of curt at one point with the server, or using the wrong kind of spoon for soup or some shit like that.

pretty much

they're trying to come up with simple, petty ways to attack him that won't stick; trying to sell narratives that nobody's buying

if they attack him on economic grounds, they're attacking the very views of a large swath of the party itself, and which establishment darlings themselves are adopting moderate versions of

50% of CE says he is by a large margin

Biden, Styer, and Buttigieg are super boring. Bloomberg is only exciting in the fact he is basically a cartoon villain.
Warren and Klobuchar seem like they are just as boring as Biden, Styer, and Buttigieg, but throw in some Bernie talk to try to absorb some of his base.

I like it when Warren flails and talks shit, but Bern proly most exciting for several reasons.
