Exactly my point.

Gay Black Hitler is a MilHist Thread term that basically means you're discussing a hypothetical scenario that would never happen because it would've required the people or events involved to play out in a way that makes no sense, such is "How would the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union have been different if Hitler was a gay black man?"

For a lot of people, Biden is basically A Version of Hillary Who Beats Trump. Naturally, that's a very appealing potential candidate right now.

let me put it another way then

the fact that Biden, who is a much more regressive option than Clinton was, gets literally any support, is a sign how little people gave a poo poo about her policies and probably has some other factors to bring up too

You are very hard to talk to, and very good at saying things that dont make any sense unless the other person shares every one of your often weird assumptions which pretty much no one even does. At least watching you fail to draw meaning from a poll is less frustrating and more funny than watching you fail to pull meaning from the words of other posters.

You say that as if it's somehow incompatible with the statement "nobody really gave a poo poo about Hillary's policies," which is less nuanced than I like, but Joe "the Senator from CitiBank" Biden is not actually meaningfully different from Clinton other than a more positive image in the popular imagination

I mean I'd still vote for him, and there's a solid argument to be made for his eletability... just not on the policy merits

I wasn't really tying to make a statement about his policies, just explaining why he's really popular even among the Sanders faithful like you and I.

smh. what IT person doesn't know to yell "ARE YOU A COP? IF YOU'RE A COP YOU HAVE TO TELL ME!"

quote:

Yared Tamene, the tech-support contractor at the D.N.C. who fielded the call, was no expert in cyberattacks. His first moves were to check Google for “the Dukes” and conduct a cursory search of the D.N.C. computer system logs to look for hints of such a cyberintrusion. By his own account, he did not look too hard even after Special Agent Hawkins called back repeatedly over the next several weeks — in part because he wasn’t certain the caller was a real F.B.I. agent and not an impostor.

there's two possibilities here and i'm not sure which one is inducing more blinding, shaking rage

1. they underhire and underpay the most incompetent IT workers they can in a misguided attempt to save money, thus insuring they are forever doomed to incompetent service because they look at IT as a cost center and make it the lowest priority in their org
2. they overhire and overpay anybody they can find in a misguided attempt to stay ahead, and as a result they're stuck with wall to wall incompetents

it's democrats so I know it's #2 and gently caress everything

it's more than it's really hard for democratic campaigns to hire competent tech people. the best tech people don't give a poo poo about politics, and aren't going to leave high-paying jobs where they're massively in-demand for a one year project that pays half of what they could make otherwise.

it turned about as many voters away as it attracted but the base shifted to something stronger and more violent/lacking in sapience/more willing to ease in the fourth reich due to inbreeding and somehow this translates to "racism didn't matter" :what:
