Bernie Sanders announced his second presidential campaign this morning. While the Vermont senator was an underdog in the 2016 race, he now enters the field as a top contender.

Bernie needs to step back.

Top contender, my ass. This guy destroyed us. He isn't a Democrat. Nobody wants him.

I'm a Democrat because im a progressive. I vote for the most progressive canidate who is viable.

Bernie is the best we've got so far.

No vote for the Communist who has made a career of suckling the tit if government for decades. His ideology is one of slavery to the state.Down with the fraud Sen. Sanders.

That just goes to show how bad the Democratic Party is doing. Vote Trump

keep lyin joe out of it

Ugh. For God's sake.

We are asking all Democratic candidate supporters to stay united and keep it civil. Lets not allow toxicity to weaken the Left.

It’s too late Bernie. Step away. Time for the next generation.

He should run as an independent...being he is the 'longest serving independent' in congress.

Vhat iz dis, velvet?

Is there a correlation between early polling and ultimate success?

CurbYourEnthusiasm2020

Biden hasn’t announced. What a dumb headline.

Good to c young ppl enter the race

HE IS NOT A A DEMOCRAT AND YES I AM SHOUTING.

Nope. I was a supporter, but he waited too long to concede in the last election. I put part of the blame for losing the election on him.

Only because of name recognition. The elderly need to leave jobs for the next generation.

He has the highest name recognition. That’s it. What is his path? Winning tiny white caucuses ain’t gonna do it.

He's too old.

Good

Two old white men. Interesting from democrats.

Bernie couldn’t beat Hilary, who couldn’t beat Trump. Back to the drawing board.

Nope, no, never, nada, bye....

Spoiler alert

Not a good pic of him npr. Looks like an angry crazy old man

What? With all the diversity saber rattling extremists on the Left, two white men just in suddenly at the top? Explain. s/ Puzzled Deplorable

As I see it the democrats are pushing quantity over quality. As they all are saying about the same thing but give not real plan. Just running on the same old points that had worked before but not do what they claimed to do.

SOCIALIST LIBERIAL DEMOCRATS WANT TO FLOOD THIS NATION WITH ILLEGALS,OFFER THEM FREE HEALTH CARE,FREE SCHOOLS,FREE INCOME,AND DEMS WILL ENCOURAGE(bribe)THEM TO VOTE ILLEGALLY, ALL TO WIN BACK POWER, WHILE AMERICANS FLIP THE BILL!VOTEDEMOUT WALKAWAY MAGA2020

Not a Democrat. Not committed to sensible gun reform. No thanks.

Just say NO to your sophomoric attempt to be a news source! Stay relevant by doing what you do best!

BernieWillWin2020

This ship has sailed.

no thanks, bernie

moneygrab

Gross.

He's not a Democrat, let him run as an independent.

Well, I obviously plan to vote for Sanders in the primary. I also plan on voting for whichever candidate wins the Democratic primary. Note: None of the Democrats on my down ticket in 2016 or in the recent midterm won their elections. Florida lost a Senate seat. 🤷‍♀️💅

That bitter socialist old curmudgeon... makes sense from my view of the “Dims.”

Noooooooooo

Are Bernie and his fans going to complain and not vote when he loses again?

Yes! Love that guy!

Could you just not?

Too old and too left+not a D.

Top contender by whom?

No Joe! FeelTheBern2020

What a Mess...Vote straight ticket Republican next time.

I’m sorry, why do so many people like Biden

90 % taxes what could go wrong

Not interested. Next?

Sign up! Donate!

I do not feel the Bern.

It's time for new blood. We don't want a rerun of the 2016 Trump victory.

He is NOT a democrat.

Somehow libs hate All white old dudes but him.

u didn’t have to mention joe biden

Which tells you everything you need to know about the state of the party.

Because they’re men.

Lololololol. Nononononono

This is going to be glorious to watch. World Meme War II is coming!

Sanders and Biden, really!?

No thank you

Does it matter at this point?

party the next 2 years with other people money it's addictive

Great decision, and go on man....

😂😂

Ugh

Fuck it im in..noboby else running has shown any fight in them

I want to see these polls broken down by race and gender. Bernie and his cult are making Black voters, particularly Black women, sick.

Bernie Sanders can go straight to hell. The backlash mobilizing against him has had enough

Good luck y’all!

Bernie & Warren are like a literary description of a quaint New England village - a nice place to read about, but it doesn’t exist in reality...

Wonderful. /s

Stop lying. No one wants them. Whatever polls you’re referring to are not accurate.

LOL he is not

A 74 year old relic who abides by a 170 year old philosophy developed by a crackpot professor. This system has always failed whenever tried, but he, a man who’s never held a real job, is going to make it work. He should move to Venezuela.

Except everyone knows Bernie. The percentage he has now is all he will ever get

Fun fact: Bernie Sanders’ best friend in kindergarten was a velociraptor. BernieSanders2020 BernieBros

Bernie, bang your old lady and not the campaign trail.

NO!!!!NO!!!!!NO!!!!NO!!!!NO!!!!!NO!!!!!

bern baby bern!

And all but guarantees a 2020 victory for President Trump

Not the ol Bernie- who made the case for economics He is lying with the low dogs and identity politics.

Go Bernie!

I wonder how many of these Never Bernie types also support AOC?

Lmaoo well I guess it times to really read his “magnificent” plan. 😂

I will never trust a poll again. Never.

He’s not a Dem, though.

He’s not a favorite and he’s not a democrat!!

Go ahead Dems! Keep crying about Bernie not being a Democrat, when he's more Democrat than any of the others running, other than Buttigeig. Why wouldn't you run the most popular politician in the country? You enjoy losing? Bernie2020

He's a nasty campaigner. I'm not looking forward to him and Trump tag-teaming every Dem running again (both with the help of Putin's Troll Farm). Ugh!

Worst decision ever to support him

I would vote for a centrist candidate on a Democratic Republican or Independent ticket.

Dems I like more than Bernie for POTUS: KamalaHarris BetoORourke JulianCastro ewarren PeteButtigieg RepJoeKennedy Dems I like less than Bernie for POTUS: CoryBooker JoeBiden HillaryClinton Republicans I like less than Bernie for POTUS: all of them

No no no! Not a DEM, not a uniter. Still no Southern or POC strategy, still no tax returns, still no apology for his over zealous bot indoctrinated fans, still no effort to raise $$$ or help down ticket, still no self awareness at all. DEMS don’t want him.

Bernie please go back to your sarcophagus!

trump2020 confirmed

Just another Russian plant. Jill Stein will announce as well in 3,2,1... 🤡🎈

It's not hard to see why so many like Sanders. But his 'solutions' won't cut it--we need a RealRevolution --a world without the capitalist-imperialist system all these politicians serve. This system cannot be reformed, it must be overthrown!

Why is he a favorite when he's not a Dem?

Hard pass.

He’s not a democrat. He’s an angry old white guy. He divided Dems and gave us trump. Please don’t do this to us again

So, the race will eventually be between two fickle old men. A socialist democrat vs a republican democrat.

What makes you think that the leftist ruling elite won't conspire against him again?

.SenSanders helped give us Trump. No losers this time around, incl. him, HRC or Beto. JoeBiden has never lost & is only older WM w. a chance to win the potential x-over union & WM voters in the critical precincts needed to win. We don't need another pop vote win but loss.

Not buying what he’s selling...oh wait, wouldn’t be able to afford it if he wins. Btw Democracy never coexists with Socialism.

This is what happened in 2016. Green was Bernie. I think he should sit this one out and ask his diehards to vote for someone with an actual chance to win and not dilute the votes. Plus, Bernie is one of PutinsBitches so russia has a stake in this too.

No thanks.

Old white guys. Wow. The Dwms sure are the diversity party.

Nope, no, nada.

He's never been a Democrat and is yesterday's news.

Democratic presidential dreamers are like lemmings getting ready to run off a cliff. Best use for them - compost. I especially like how they pledge they'll do something Trump is already doing, or planning. When Trump gets reelected and proposes these things, they'll obstruct.

They're gonna do it. Democrats are going to gamble 2020 on a far left candidate and very likely lose because their far left policies are so unpalatable and out of step with mainstream Americans and historic American establishments. Wowzer.

Joe Biden has Bernie's perceived weaknesses (old white male) and none of his strengths (dynamic progressive policies). I can't see Biden going the distance.

I definitely don’t dislike Bernie but I’m most excited by AndrewYangVFA’s platform right now.

List the donors before you list the amount.

So far the key Dem takeaway from ‘16 and ‘18 is to go harder left. Brilliant. It takes a village to be this stupid

'far outpacing other Democratic candidates in support' Really!?! It's like Day ! & you know this? LOL

Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Michelle Obama are at the top of the Democratic ticket? I'm not feeling so good about the BlueParty's chances this year.

No, Bernie isn’t a top contender. H*ll, he isn’t even a democrat. SenBernie needs to retire from fractioning the Democratic Party.

BFD - BTDT.

Keep dreaming. 2016 was his chance and he was cheated by DNC. He has aged out. He'll be almost 80 by election time.

Top contender? Nope.

Wonder what the DNC is thinking!

There is no way he can win. Let someone else run and you are going to have a way better chance

A socialist platform is not going to be electable in ‘20.

Could we have some journalistic fact checking here? BS is not a Democrat. Has he joined the party, signed the pledge?

Thanks, Bernie. Want to help Trump win again?

Two old white guys are the early front runners for the Democratic party? Sounds like a 'house divided' situation.

Check your rear view. 2016 is following pretty closely.

Because he’s a white man.

Both of them have already seen their day. Joe Biden has said so many crazy things over the years.

Somehow I’d be more comfortable with Presidents who are addressed by their full name, such as Bernard Sanders. His name was Ronald Reagan, not Ronnie Reagan.

The media is going to push Bernie the same way they did trump. 😠

Bernie is an empty suit

This Has Been a Paid Advertisement from Koch Industries.

He’s not a Democrat...

Bernie Sanders appeals to the lazy and stupid.

They need someone who is modern, hip and very inspiring and also intelligent 😁

He's not a favorite. He's not a Democrat. We don't want him.

Things not looking very bright for the DNC

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NeverBernie

People should be allowed to run once... you take that L, then no more.

That's excellent news for Republicans...

I just gotta say, if you are 'feeling a burn' you should probably contact your healthcare provider.

Bid deal! He’s old news!

Be honest. He tops beats out Joe Biden in most polls.

Excited about Bernie for sure, and a full roster of great canidates adding to the national debate.

Ask Sanders what measures he has taken to ensure his campaign is not again rife with aggressive sexual harassment, since presumably he'll 'be a little busy' so won't be paying attention to that this time, either.

Yeah sorry, candidates that support FOSTA/SESTA aren’t candidates I can support

Socialism for thee, but not for me!!! Ole` Bernie preaching green, while using private jets to get around the country. Wanting to control every aspect of our lives, no thanks

Bernie is busting all records for grassroots support! All the way to the White House in 2020.

Sorry, too old. I can say that because I know old people. Ideas are good, has good history, but we need younger leadership.

Goddamnit, Bernie. Liz Warren can do better. At this point you're just feeding your own ego.

Thank you, next

Yes, I have heard of him 2020

He's not a Democrat.

He's not a favorite IMO
