How does Sen. Warren gain on Biden by 10 percentage points?

Just because the one you're trying to help doesn't like it or even like you doesn't change the fact that you're trying to help them. And Warren's literal oft-repeated stated goal is to save Capitalism from itself, which still would leave the 1% on top, except the rest of us get some more table scraps. Of course this doesn't loving work, because as mentioned the 1% are an insatiable and stupid beast, so they'd immediately start trying to undermine and dismantle everything that Warren would accomplish, and in like 20 years or so we'd be right back to where we started unless climate death has claimed us all by then. So the only way to get lasting improvement is to remove not only money but also power from the upper classes, and you don't do that by tinkering with the system that ensures they'll get all of both eventually. You need a mass working class movement to force the upper classes to give back all that they've stolen from us, and as we all know there's only one candidate who's even trying to do something like that.

He ruined so many chances and constantly said he's running for president, if he does decide to join the Senate race, nobody will vote for him. After all, he just turned his back on Texas and only came back when he couldn't hack it on a national stage.

At this point it should be obvious that Beto not running for anything would be a good thing, because the man clearly has no political instincts whatsoever. Hopefully he fucks off into some obscure grifting job or something.

Hopefully he fucks off into some obscure grifting job or something. He's going to be running for president in 2020. Not on a third party platform or anything like that, he'll just go around telling people about his campaign and mysteriously appear on the debate stage during the general.

https://twitter.com/IsaacDovere/status/1174677820234244096?s=19 Honestly, I can't say I disagree with this. Way too many debates with too many candidates getting asked lovely questions with barely any time to respond. I kind of prefer the Town Hall format despite the obvious plants in the audience. I would recommend Bernie starts skipping some of these debates but that would give the press even more reasons to pretend he's not running at all.

the problem is allowing people who have absolutely no shot on the stage. it's made for some good moments but it was a joke allowing anyone polling outside the top 5 on stage.

Agree; this poo poo is so tiring. Nobody liked the republicans doing it last time either. I don’t understand the point of letting a bunch of people who aren’t consistently polling above 5% to get up there from the get-go (and lol TulsiG going to Fox News to complain about it). The debates are there to winnow the field, not elevate the unknowns into the public eye: Marianne williamson posted:
