Food for thought: 40% of young voters when asked about the current system want to "burn it all down".
You honestly believe that Bernie is less electable when poll after poll keeps showing Bernie (and Warren for that matter) winning against Trump? Once again, the strategy of trying to reach across the aisle fails. The only strategy left is to win over the young people.
Because if you don't, then that percentage that wants to tear down the system by force is going to become- threateningly high.
The progressive side of the party has an uphill battle. Even you must have noticed how every single news station seems oddly biased against Warren and Sanders and even tried to intentionally orchestrate a rift between them recently (which backfired). It's so bizarre. Now- the day before Iowa, there are endless smears and hit pieces directed specifically at Sanders as though they are desperate to see what sticks. The latest is some claim that Sanders is going to "sway the election" by announcing his numbers, as though he would be the first ever to do it.
Weltall and I didn't forget just how aggressively Hillary went after Bernie in the last cycle. Such hypocracy, such hubris...
We're talking about a candidate in Sanders that has been consistently for the people, for working class, for women and minorities his ENTIRE life. He's almost spotless, so they have to make stuff up, invent a reality where Sanders was the one voting to end social security and Biden wasn't when the history and NUMEROUS videos prove otherwise (I recall when Sanders stood up against Obama and Biden to save social security).
"Adjustments" has, historically, ALWAYS been a term used to hide cuts. The only time it isn't is when the "adjustments" are flatly spelled out in detail, but when you just hear the words "I think x can use some adjusting" without any further detail, you're getting scammed, every single time.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
