The funniest thing is that according to the comments, this was made by a Bernie supporter as a sort of preemptive joke: https://twitter.com/KarlMarxJunior/status/1231494288829304832

Acebuckeye13 posted:There's actually a part of me that thinks Sanders might not have been so successful this primary without Warren—the moderate wing considered her a threat and him irrelevant for the longest time, and spent all their efforts on attacking her while he slowly built up support until it was too late. Had Warren not run and the left/progressive wing of the party coalesced around Sanders early, there's a good chance the moderates would have recognized the threat much earlier than they actually did. Oh this is most def true, having Warren has helped to normalize the idea of m4a because other candidates have had to weakly support part of it instead of just outright labeling bernie crazy over it. Warren also appeals to different types of voters than bernie and has gotten a different part of the dem party to support more left leaning policies.

All that money Steyer spent in Nevada and he got 4%. He's polling well in SC but he's not catching Biden overall, let alone Sanders. Burn that money, billionaire. I'm really enjoying seeing Gabbard pulling in well below the uncommitted crowd. Like "we don't know but definitely not her."

I still think Gabbard is angling for either an appointment to Trumps next cabinet when he wins or a Fox news spot if he loses.

It's always going to come up in a comprehensive enough social media check. The small possibility someone brings it up in the future at a job interview. But in that rare instance, he'd then have to explain lying about being hacked, because of how blatant that is.

Also Buttigieg campaign has lied about black support already. So lying AGAIN is not super great for trying to salvage that section of the vote when he's already the whitest candidate.

Had Warren not run and the left/progressive wing of the party coalesced around Sanders early, there's a good chance the moderates would have recognized the threat much earlier than they actually did. Also, by being a politically palatable leftist candidate for centrists she effectively laid the groundwork for the entire party to coalesce around Sanders by shifting the Overton windows enough that he wouldn't be nearly as shocking to people.

It's been something watching the punditocracy/lanyard class absolutely lose their poo poo over Bernie having momentum right now. First, we have Jennifer Rubin, a Never Trump Republican and columnist for the #DemocracyDiesInDarkness #Resistance Washington Post, launching this unhinged screed that includes these gems and basically calls on the Democrats to do whatever dirty tricks they need to get Biden the nomination: quote:Fourth, Steyer and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg should use their millions to go after Sanders, the candidate who threatens to sew up the race before Bloomberg gets started. They would do the party a favor, frankly, by getting all the opposition research out there now so that Trump does not spring it in the final days of the general election. (If Bloomberg’s next debate performance is anything like the last, he will need to bow out as well; there are not enough ads in the world to compensate for a candidate who cannot perform live.) Then we have this guy, who was a prominent campaign official for Obama since when he first announced his run, claiming that American democracy itself will die if Bernie gets the nomination. https://twitter.com/joncoopertweets/status/1231593703858372609 These people are so afraid of losing their relevancy.

It is not political to say that due to company policy, you do not feel it would be appropriate to vote for someone who bragged about sexually assaulting women. I wish I was joking, but I had to explain to soldiers who asked me that the president is exempt from Army SHARP regulations, EO policy, and the UCMJ.

GoGoGadget posted:Watched some Fox and Friends at the base gym today. They went from calling Bernie a crazy, phony liar that hates America and its institutions and will turn it into Venezuela immediately into talking about how the mainstream media has been unfair to him. Do these people lack any critical thinking at all? I mean, I know the answer, but still... I don't think it was FaF but I heard something last night that he was "more extreme than socialists" and I couldn't help but laughing. Also did you know 10 out of 10 americans are doing better now but only if they're honest with themselves

Milo and POTUS posted:These people are afraid of poor people's lives being improved in any way. They're worse than republicans That was a thought that had occurred to me today. Republicans will oppose any plan put forth by a Democratic president. So the only compromising that Bernie will have to do to pass legislation will be with Democrats. They represent a bigger obstacle to progress than the GOP.

We're facing the same problems that the Ottoman empire faced which is that in order to survive we have to reform our system but by doing so the people that are currently in charge would have less power. The goal of capitalism is not to grow our economy, it is to grow what percentage of the economy the capitalist class controls. The reforms we want are fairly basic and would grow our economy. Paying for health care costs eats away our ability to buy consumer goods and prevents the sick and injured from being able to return to our work force. Free education would mean that we maintain our competitive edge as the world continues to shift towards high tech industry and automation. 69% of our GDP comes from private consumption. Additionally, working class buy local and spend a much higher percentage of their paycheck consuming goods than the other classes. drat near every dollar you give to the working class gets immediately put right back into the local economy. Give a million people 20 bucks and they spend it by buying their family a pizza. Give a single billionaire the same amount of money and they will spend or invest it globally. The people in charge would rather rule 99% of a crumbling US than 95% of a thriving US. PookBear fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Feb 24, 2020 |
