Pete is weak as poo poo, right? I've lived my whole life in this stupid country and I've come to believe that bad things don't need a reason to happen. He could start sweeping all of the centrist votes out of nowhere for basically no reason other than: that would suck.

Once people of color start voting in larger numbers, Pete's share is going to tank. His polling with black people, specifically, is somewhere around 0%.

"MIKE BLOOMBERG GOT FIRED AND STARTED HIS OWN COMPANY. VOTE MIKE BLOOMBERG" who gives a gently caress, he has less voter enthusiasm than biden and won't break 2%

I think the first test of this will be Nevada and how Steyer performs there. Obviously he spent like $15 million in Iowa and got nowhere, but Nevada and South Carolina are where his money has been most concentrated. If that translates into being viable in those states I'd say it's reason enough to worry about Bloomberg. The bigger thing I worry about is that Bloomberg will almost certainly spend hundreds of millions on attack ads against Sanders for as long as he needs to. So it's less about all this money resulting in votes for Bloomberg but that it could depress turnout for Sanders.

Either way Bloomberg is a great foil for Bernie, and if Bloomberg does participate in the debates Bernie needs to drop the "my friend" poo poo and call Bloomberg a cocksucker

I feel like Biden and Bloomberg are the nominees where i'll definitely write in AOC 2024 or some poo poo if they win, although mayo pete is on track to prove he's worse then both.

From what I know of Deval Patrick he seems just as ghoulish, but lol at him getting past 1%.

Im gonna be honest. I want Bernie to run and beat Trump for a few reasons. Mostly because he seems like a genuinely good person who wants to work for the little people instead of working them over. But a huge component is watching egg brained boomers and dumbass Ben Shapiros losing their minds as this crazy old man ruins their country by improving the lives of 99% of its citizens whether they want it or not.

yeah at the end of the day people need to realize that the impeachment was not really putting trump on trial. he is guilty, everyone knows he is guilty - even republicans, so they have to argue "he did it but so what - and while there is probably a marginal amount of people who wouldn't have realized he was a criminal without this, they're a tiny minority. we all know who trump is. we knew it before the trial and we knew it afterwards; and we knew there was no real chance the senate would actually remove him.

what the impeachment was about was putting the republican party on trial. the republican party maintains power through elected officials who paint themselves as "one of the good ones" - i'm a republican, but i'm not like trump. collins, gardner, and others needed that. and there were a lot of people who believed it: that they hated trump but thought that trump was an abberation and that their republican wasn't like that. but that's not true - there are no "good ones" and what impeachment was about was showing that. every single republican, but one, failed that test. they brazenly covered up his crime by blocking witnesses who were going to testify about his crimes, and were forced on record to do that. they all, except one, cleared him and ratified his illegal conduct (whatever nonsense they tried to claim in their press releases doesn't matter). every single one (except romney) has made it abundantly clear to anyone watching that they are not one of "the good ones" they are not "a check on trump" they are trump's toadies.

that's what impeachment was all about. we all know who and what trump is. a sizable minority of the country will vote for him anyway (or because of) his criminality. hopefully, it helped a little bit to reinforce for people who don't really want to vote for trump but aren't really democrats that no, you can't sit out the election or vote for trump "for the judges" but not being a trumpist. but that's not the real potential political benefit: it's to make clear to the people in maine, colorado, north carolina, arizona, and everywhere else that their senator is not one of the good ones. if they vote for their republican senator, they're voting for trump. they are not voting for someone who will call them like they see them, who will be a principled small government conservative, or whatever nonsense people use to vote for republicans. they are voting for trump, period. and if they don't want to do that, their only option is to vote for their democratic challenger.

I saw someone on Facebook (yeah, yeah, but bear with me here) say they didn't think "any Republicans were left" until Mitt Romney sided against Trump. Like, not even "hope in the party," no, their definition of Republicans was contingent upon there being something redeemable about them, and otherwise, it's no true Scotsman. This was a liberal too. And that's how a lot of people think, that the Republicans by their nature are good-natured because they're a necessary counterbalance (to what?) in the Republic. I guess to keep us from spending too much? Which the Democrats have been threatening to cut social security for decades, so not sure where that fear comes from? But it's that ardent belief that conservatives are not only forgivable but a necessity to this country, far far more than any socialist discourse is needed in it.

They are the picture of David weeping over Absalom, who'd hosed his women and tried to coup David's entire kingdom, and David's general walks in and says, "You love those that hate you and hate those that love you." And that's your average Democrat voter. They're quick to look for toxicity in Bernie and quick to find forgiveness for an utterly unrepetentant Romney. They love those that hate them and hate those that love them.

She should probably apologize to the atheist guy, absolutely, and has a moral requirement to do that, but there's sympathy to be found there on her behalf.

I don't hate this post like everyone else, but at the same time, these people should've figured out Republicans were irredeemable a long time ago, they've not been anything short of toxic in our lifetimes. I'm pretty sure Watergate and the Southern Strategy predates most of us. So at what point is it, "This is the final straw!" and at what point is it like, "This time I'm leaving him! Unless, you know, he shows me he still loves me. Then I guess he can hit me some more."

i grew up being taught that democrats need republicans to reign in their worst instincts and provide a check, and a lot of boomers have deeply internalized that mindset

it stems a lot from the unbroken control that dems had over the house up until gingrich flipped it while the dixiecrats were dying off, but I saw it locally in minnesota too during the 90s.

george w bush really blew up the narrative after 9/11 when he stopped even the pretense of fiscal conservancy, but the mindset still shambles on with everyone who internalized west wing style politics
