    You’re right, but consider how poisonous those names have been made to conservatives. Their ears automatically clamp shut.

    Know the jacked up part? If conservatives listened to either one of those two, without knowing who they were, they would be all ears.

    First time I heard Bernie was on NPR, had no idea who was talking, but I gathered it was a politician running for office. (This was him running against Hillary.)

    “LOL, this guy is a joke. You can’t actually answer questions honestly and in a straightforward manner. Holy shit! He just answered a question about Israel without mumbling around. Fucking love him, but whatever he’s running for, he’s going to lose.”

    Yeah.

      Some of MAGA actually likes Bernie though. A number of them would have voted for him and he would have almost certainly won.
