Not sure what "likeability" actually means in any real context... but... good? https://www.newsweek.com/biden-sanders-gallup-favorability-democrats-2020-1450344 Given how many people vote on non-policy issues, perhaps very good.

Pembroke Fuse posted:Not sure what "likeability" actually means in any real context... but... good? I think it's just "do you have a favorable opinion of..." I also think Bernie is getting a bump in that regard because a) people don't think he can win, so they don't care enough to hate him and b) still think he got cheated in 2016 so he's getting sympathy. But then again, it could also be 'real' because Bernie supporters are notoriouly hard to poll so maybe it cancels out?

Main Paineframe posted:That's the original (and only) accusation of staffer abuse, from 2015, which has never been picked up by any other outlet since. They're literally just reposting the same hitpieces from the 2016 primaries. Not even writing new pieces, just tweeting the old ones again.

Which is why I think that celebrities endorsement is going to be important. I know we dont like to admit it but the fact is that poo poo load of people don't even really pay close attention to politics at all. Nobody is going to remember what a superdelegate said, but they will certainly remember what their favorite stars said.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/early-contests-by-the-numbers-delegate-race-tightens-in-cbs-news-2020-battleground-tracker/ Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren's estimate has improved to 430 delegates, significantly reducing the gap between her and Biden. She does particularly well with college graduates, politically engaged voters and very liberal Democrats. Bernie Sanders is currently in third place with 249 delegates. His estimate has dropped since last month. While he's kept most of his supporters, he hasn't done quite as well at retaining them, particularly college-educated Democrats: one in 10 of his supporters from June now say Warren is their top choice.

joepinetree posted:15% is not statewide, but at the district or caucus level. Of course, the idea that you can dissggregate polling data that specifically is just laughable. The 15% rule does apply for delegates allocated at the congressional district level and at-large. Those are two different buckets of delegates. So you’re correct we’d need CD level polling to support Klob or Butt getting delegates afaik.

Speaking of https://twitter.com/cit_uprising/status/1152939641361723394 These people will do literally anything to keep from paying an extra 15% on the top marginal tax rate, inheriting slightly less of the family fortune, or to maintain another percent of growth on their investment portfolio. They want a slightly larger home, they want a car that costs $1800 a month, and these psychopaths don't care if you or your family have to die for it. They understand where their own material interests lie and the idea that Warren would be more popular among rich shitheads (and those pretending to be rich shitheads) shouldn't come as a shock to anyone.

I was fully assured by well meaning centrists who understand that they have to work with the left. Surely this will meet some pushback from the media Oh, no? It's just people smiling and nodding that bernie hates women and is creepy? hm, nevertheless....

The continuous obfuscation that this is about limiting hours for salaries employees, and not hourly ones, is the best example that this is being done in bad faith.

You gotta respect Biden's absolute refusal to pander, or bend to the whims of the populace. Any other candidate would've taken the note "don't open mouth kiss any women other than your wife on stage" by now, but Biden will not be moved. https://twitter.com/ThomasIsOnline/status/1153058059469631489
