Hmm. there's less than a week left before Iowa, I gotta come up with some way to pull ahead. Some bold policy that will really grab headlines. People seem to like Bernie's plans to give them healthcare and jobs... I've got it! The Washington Post fact checker is given the power to order executions!

Nate having endorsements in his model is hilarious. How'd Harris do buddy? Her endorsement point total is STILL higher than Warren's and Booker's is higher than Sanders.

So they basically took away Bernie's New Hampshire bounce. Well, we'll see what kind of bounce he gets after winning the first three contests.

That really sums it up. These people are so petty, their political imaginations are so stunted and cruel, that that's the kind of of policy they think will excite people. Bernie Sanders announces a new policy, it's something that would have a huge impact in people's lives like nation rent control or a federal ban on right to work laws. One of these other freaks announces a new policy, it's making it a hate crime to call someone a corncob on Twitter. Absolute depraved freaks.

Clickbait headline, Democrats already introduced legislation to do this in 2018. It should be illegal to intentionally spread misinformation about polling places or locations.

What this primary has revealed to me is the REAL reason the pundit class and establishment democrats hate Trump: he has better political instincts than they do. What sealed it was that audio leaking of him saying he didn’t want Hillary to pick Bernie as VP. He knows what the average American wants to hear and he knows how much the average American despises politicians. (And I’m not just talking about the racism, but the populist messages Trump ran on) So when I hear them all say “Bernie is just like Trump!” I have to laugh because it’s kind of a compliment, despite the obvious “Trump is actually bad and a liar, etc” thing.

I read her plan and shocker it's a whole lot of nothing. I think Bernie's plan to grind large tech conglomerates under our collective heel will be far more effective.

The Bernie Campaign Is Fortified by a Human Shield of Millennialsquote:The age gap between the support bases of the two leading Democratic candidates is unprecedented in scale. According to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday, Bernie Sanders boasts the support of 53 percent of Democratic voters under 35 nationwide, while Joe Biden lays claim to just 3 percent. That poll’s margin of error is 3.4 percentage points — which means that the percentage of younger voters who support the Democratic Party’s current front-runner could, technically, round down to zero. In other national surveys, age polarization among Democratic primary voters tends to be a bit less severe. But in virtually all of them, Biden’s support among the young is historically low for a front-running candidate, while Sanders’s popularity with the contingent is exceptionally high. http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/01/anyone-but-bernie-sanders-biden-age-gap-millennials-gen-z.html Guess we have to nominate Sanders if we want to win.

Groovelord Neato posted:The Bernie Campaign Is Fortified by a Human Shield of Millennials Most of the damage with a Trump presidency has already been done. While I'm careful to say 4 more years of Trump wouldn't suck (it would), I really think there's a strong case to be made that 4 more years of Trump would not be that much worse than a Biden administration both short-term and certainly long-term. Maybe Biden would close the border camps but he'd do jack poo poo to combat climate change, he wouldn't aggressively stack the courts, he has already committed to do nothing to address health care, and he's certainly going to do nothing to address vast income inequality.

VideoGameVet posted:Has to be said. MSNBC isn't what it was after they kicked Olbermann. Sorry. Nah, it was always bad. I understand the temptation to feel like maybe some aspects of past liberalism weren't completely awful, but they pretty much always were. The thing many liberals, including myself from those years, misunderstood is that "intensity with which you attack Republicans" does not translate to "being left-wing."

I was also at the ripe old age of 16 in 2008, and only just awakening to politics as something to give a poo poo about. My parents watched MSNBC (and still do, well at least my mom who worships the ground Maddow walks on) so it became how I consumed politics too pretty much until I went away to university.

Bidem will not close the camps. He might make moves to do it, but will cave like a cheap coal mine once the Republicans call him "weak on immigration". He will let the Republicans block all his court nominees and will destroy his own parts base to court Republicans with policy. Basically a more timid obama administration. Followed by a competent facist in 2024.

One of the few things I remember vividly from 08 was when Hillary explained that she wasn't dropping out because someone might get Bobby Kennedied. Olbermann rightly excoriated her on this, so I'll always have a soft spot for that bloviating goof.

If elizabeth warren really cared about disinformation she would try to get rid of the telecommunications act of 1996. This is a situation where having more voices would help call out the bad ones instead of allowing the bad ones *cough* fox news *cough* to become huge and make daily distortions. It would also allow for more diverse voices. Maybe their might actually be a progressive channel so our olds wouldn't be crazier than shithouse rats. Hey does anyone know the name of the documentary about a person's father that was radicalized by fox news? ive been meaning to watch it and the post-it I had it written on has vanished.
