I agree with Saagar. People on social media who read and are aware of the differences between the candidates are more educated about Bernie's M4A than those who are watching the debates to get information. Bernie must draw the lines of distinction while debating.

The contrast between Biden and Sanders are very clear to us who are paying attention but he needs to try to get the vote of the people that don’t actually do research and are just going by what they hear on corporate media it’s time to start defining his policies and how they differ from the other candidate and it’s time for him to make it crystal clear the differences between him and the other candidates

"All of you must see this man safely delivered to the White House. This is our most desperate hour. Help us, Bernie Sanders. You're our only hope." - The people ...

I've never been a Democrat and I've never taken a poll. Except this year, where I'm voting in a primary for the first time in my life in Oregon. Not only that, I'm exerting force in my personal life to help others Feel the Bern 2020 as well. Not a wave, an avalanche.

then they laugh at you
then they attack you
then you win.
Bernie 2020

How great it would be to have smart thinking advisors like David Sirota having a say in the way a nation is being run.

[dwonderwoman]

A debate between Bernie and Biden will show the country everything they need to know.. No contest, Bernie will blow him out of the water. #IowaForBernie2020 🇺🇸

In an election year when the entire political establishment is coalescing around the failed policies of neoliberalism and austerity, only Bernie's candidacy represents the possibility of constructing an alternative.

President Bernard Sanders!! 🙏 #FeelTheBern 🔥🔥

[ZachComa]

Sirota's old radio show was great, Bernie was great to add him so early on.

[dissonance]

Bernie vs the Establishment! 🔥🔥🔥
Not here to praise but to Bern it ✊🏼

[sunnysnh]

Saagar makes a good point. The contrast needs to be made harder, new voters exist and don't already know about those differences. Low info voters exist.

[MaySpitfire]

Bernie needs to really take the gloves off, all or nothin.

[codyhamilton]

I switched from no party to Democrat so I can vote in the primary!

VoteforBernie.org. 🔥💪
Check your state’s primary dates and deadline to change party affiliation. Update your address. Don’t lose your chance to vote for Bernie in your state’s primary!

[KeepitReal]

Every time one of Bernie's people comes on it shows Bernie has great people around him that are passionate, intelligent and focus on the goals of Bernie's progressive policies. Damn Bernie I can't wait to see your cabinet picks.

[trammvp]

At the end of the day it's gonna be Biden versus Bernie for the nomination, so your choice is 4 more years of Obama's moderate Republican agenda or real change with Bernie

[yogamom]

I like Sirotas aura and energy. he’s not polluted and dirty like most campaign people

[jehdh]

Sagaars little mess up at the end was adorable lol, he’s def the most likeable and reasonable Republican out there

[setaside]

I love David but he's naive if he thinks that the message on the stage can be diluted one iota because of his assumptions. Bernie needs to be more aggressive on stage. Period.
