I plan to spend the weekend drunk and playing Baldur's Gate. Alternatively you can turn that nervous energy towards phone/text banking.

Follow the path that feels right for you.

I have been dealing with the anxiety of Biden's inevitable loss to Trump by digging in the couch cushions for Bernie money, and volunteering. To be honest, the expectation was always to lose Iowa by a little, and win NH and Nevada. So if he loses Iowa go volunteer before those other two I mentioned. Even if he wins do that. Be apart of it.

2. Isn't Bernie losing Iowa the reason he later lost on Super Tuesday?

You can phonebank and/or text. And I think you can attribute his 2016 loss to more factors than just Iowa

Bernie lost in 2016 because he wasn't even running a real campaign basically until the voting started.

Are you referring to the NDAA that passed in October 2017? Warren got some flak for successfully pushing for a number of amendments, but ultimately voting for a bill that contained no language opposing the president's transgender ban.

If you ask me that's a pretty weak reason to conclude Warren Bad. In general, due to their breadth, these budget bills are a pretty poor indicator of any individual senator's positions.

Her voting for Reagan twice isnt good enough? How about in 2012 when she said that a transgender prisoner shouldn't receive medical treatment?

I'm no strategist, but I feel like Bernie should be spending more in Iowa right now. He'll have a big windfall if he wins Iowa, now would be a good time to go all out.

It seems like Steyer is trying to run on a Diet Bernie platform (miniature version of Bernie's wealth tax, for example) and trying to make himself look like Bernie's friend in the hopes he can lure some people to him who'd otherwise go to Bernie.

It won't work but what a weird strategy.

No, I want stuff from her senate career. Recent stuff. Goons were posting a bunch about Warren voting “for an anti-trans bill” a few weeks back and I want details.

Anything else aside from the 2017 NDAA?

Also don’t come at me, I’m the Sandersista in this conversation. I don’t need convincing and I sure as poo poo don’t need condescension.

Part of why Bernie’s narrow loss in Iowa in 2016 didn’t help him much is because they still would just add the super delegates to the delegate count so it made it look like Hillary was crushing him despite only losing by a handful of votes.

That's just radio and TV ads. That doesn't take into account stuff like the concerts, the canvassing, etc. And he's still spending the second most.

Not a lot of stuff has come up in terms of anti- or pro- trans legislation. In terms of recent stuff, there's the 2012 opposition to transition medical care for inmates that she never publicly repudiated but her campaign claims is not her position anymore, and theres the 2017 NDAA. Other than that, there havent been votes that she could have taken one way or the other.

Steyer comes off as a guy who thinks "I dont *want* to pay higher taxes, but if I do, eh, I'll be ok with it. Bernie seems like an ok guy."

I'd never vote for him in a jillion years, but there is a non-zero chance he endorses bernie when he drops out.
