Fuschia tude posted:Yes, surely such a word has never inundated the airwaves to refer to any Democratic candidate in the past To play devil's advocate, Bernie is a "self described democratic socialist" so non-Fox pundits can now say it every time they mention him without being considered extreme. That said, I agree the republicans have done a lot to remove the negative connotations of the word socialist by using it to label Obama for 8 years.

A Neurotic Jew posted:In this case, you are taking numbers and then throwing them in the trash because you don' think they fit. That's not really the same thing as applying context. I'm saying that you're using those favorability numbers incorrectly and I'm using them correctly. You say that Hillary is like nails on a chalkboard to you. You don't see that as a red flag at all? You think that there's no way she can come off similar to baby boomers? Baby boomers, like black people, are aliens. Yes, she'll probably have her strongest support among baby boomer women, but you're missing the point. After NH and Iowa, what were Obama's numbers with baby boomer women vs. Hillary's. Whatever they were, it wasn't enough to make a difference. Remember, yours will be the first and crowing skull on the skull throne. I can't wait!

Because Fox News has watered down the socialism to the point of meaninglessness, the average Fox viewer approve of Sanders' "self describing" as a socialist because its seen as honest. They don't see a difference between Sanders' socialism and Hillary's liberalism.

I think it is terribly unlikely for anyone but Hillary to get the Dem. nomination, but that Sanders hitting her from the left is a good idea. I also think that this forum is a great place to figure out what young white male progressives think about things, which is not really Hillary's stronghold within the Democratic coalition.

Another thing nobody has talked about is how Bernie will deal with the God questions that many moderate swing state voters find important. He won't be like Trump and say the Bible is the greatest book ever written. That could realistically hurt him in the general. It'd be nice if this kind of thing wasn't an issue with so many voters but I'm betting it will be.

"Whether you are Catholic or Protestant; Christian, Jewish or Muslim; Hindu or Buddhist, what all of the major religions teach us is that it is immoral when so many have so little and so few have so much." "If you read the religious tenets of the major religions throughout history, whether it is Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and others, what you find is almost universal objection and disgust and a feeling of immorality in terms of usury."

You're thinking of the way that Democrats always manage to find the MOST LIBERAL (Senator/Governor/PTA Chairman) to be their nominee. Though with Bernie it'll be tough to point to the sitting socialist as perhaps being a counter to such a ranking. Kind of inspiring how each pic/department combination is worse than the last. That takes real effort. Gyges fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Aug 27, 2015 |
