Biden won't be able to sustain three big losses in a row. He's not going to finish in the top 3 in Iowa and won't get second in NH and probably not NV either. This idea that he'll lose those three contests and then magically win South Carolina by 30 points and carry all the super tuesday states is a total fantasy. The only thing he has going for him right now is the polling.

Its Giuliani all over again. The dudes only strength is that hes seen as inevitable. If hes not winning then hes utterly toast.

Also, lol at people thinking theres a grand conspiracy of candidates jumping in. It's just like the 2016 Repub primary, with a tragedy of the commons but this time the candidate who's gonna win is good

these freaks are all narcissistic weirdos who think they have a legitimate shot at being prez. they see a weakness with Biden and they hate Pete for attempting to climb the ranks despite not Earning It the Right Way so they want to take him down. they aren’t scared of Bernie because they don’t understand that he’s actually popular. they are incapable of understanding that joining the race actually helps Bernie because their consultant-pelted brain can’t conceive of someone in politics like him doing well, all evidence be damned

Speaking of the donors being scared, I really wish any politician or popular figure at all would address publicly how craven and evil the rich are.

The most extreme thing I've seen anyone with a checkmark even posit was Bill Gates suggesting, in a way that makes it sound absurd, him being taxed 100 billion on his 106 billion net worth. This most extreme and outlandish proposal, that no one is actually proposing, would not leave Bill Gates or his family dying of medical debt; would not leave Bill Gates in a position of having to worry about paying his rent; would not leave Bill Gates struggling to send his kids to college; would, in fact, not deprive him of being able to afford pretty much anything with a price tag. He would still be comfortable, influential, and rich beyond most humans' ability to properly conceptualize. No one with a popular platform is suggesting we kill the rich, or that we take all of their assets and boot them onto the streets penniless, or even that we make them live like normal citizens; there's just the very modest proposal of shaving some percentage or another off of their high score number total without meaningfully impacting their lives in any measurable way.

And in response to this prospect of reducing their vanity number, they are willing to invest untold millions of dollars into advertising, donations, lobbying efforts, and so on. That should be called out with not only a dollar value assigned to it but also a human lives and jobs number; i.e., "so-and-so billionaire, and his foundations, have contributed $X million dollars to oppose giving everyday people education, health care, housing, and jobs. For that same amount of money, we could have sent XX children to a 4-year state college, erased the medical debt of XX seniors battling cancer, given 2-bedroom houses to XX homeless families, and provided XX middle class jobs to the hardworking people of Iowa". Do a series of these, calling out individual billionaires and their foundations. Really drive it home to the everyday American that these few hundred people in the donor class are ruining their lives just to have a vanity high score dollar amount in their accounts.

If Sanders and Warren do get pulled in to the impeachment hearings for all of January the House will be done with their part, right? I feel like Sanders has surrogates like AOC that can still draw a crowd on their own merits but Warren not so much. It'd be a huge gift to Buttigieg though.

It also quadrupled down on the "members of evil races are inherently evil" part of Tolkien

There was a book where a baby of the Bad species was raised at Redwall and they tried to make him good but it was hard because, you see, he was a stoat or something, and stoats are just evil

That book was as close to self-examination as Redwall ever got, I don't remember how it turned out though

that's not extreme or outlandish. also bernie is going further than that by publicly saying there should be no billionaires lol

sure it's rhetorical and not a concrete policy proposal, but it outlines sanders' ideology and desired direction
