Anybody else notice that Warren is upticking in the super tuesday polls? Starting to think she could be the bigger threat, even with a Biden win in SC. Biden has essentially zero organization or money post South Carolina.

Anecdotally I feel like she has a lot of mildly enthusiastic support that like her but may not be bothered to go out and vote. I've got a few friends and co-workers that I've been slowly working away from her with a combination of the Bruenig maneuver and a healthy dose of "her advisors hosed her over"

This is a horrifying idea, because while Bloomberg wouldn't win any states, he would likely guarantee a Trump victory by killing safe D districts. I would actually assume Trump wins Virginia if Bloomberg is in since a large part of nova would vote for him.

a lot of these polls are bad because they've been tuned to perform well in a fundamentally different landscape. Bernie has changed the landscape. any one of them recycling the methodologies from 2016 and thinking it's good enough is nuts.

good news then, the House doesn't actually pick the President in that case, every state gets a single vote instead, because our constitution was designed first and foremost to empower and keep in power a minority of highly reactionary conservatives

It's pointless to worry about a Bloomberg independent run. Nothing would stop him if he decided to do it, and the best thing we can do to prevent it is to work really, really hard to make sure everyone's opinion of Bloomberg nationwide is utter poo poo--which is exactly what we're doing anyway to nuke him out of the primary.

I think they just ranked them first according to preference, and then tried to fit the specifics to the ranking. Bernie is 5th worst out of 8. Read:

5. Bernie Sanders
Total Score: 50

Bernie Sanders’ plan for racial justice is only a small part of his agenda for black America.

Economics: Sanders’ plan for economic justice is very vague. It lists the most commonly known problem (the wealth gap, redlining, housing discrimination) and vows to fix them. But it doesn’t say how he will do it. He seems to rely on his plan for income inequality to answer all questions. He does not support reparations.
Economics Score: 7

Criminal Justice: Sanders’ criminal justice displays the same performative rhetoric. His details aren’t revelatory and he offers no solutions except to say that he will solve the problems.
Criminal Justice Score: 5

Education: Sanders promises to make college debt-free for everyone who attends a four-year college. He also plans to cancel student debt and give $1.3 billion to HBCUs and minority-serving institutions. Aside from child care, his platform has very little, if any information on reducing disparities in K-12 education.
Education Score: 4

Politics: Sanders wants to get money out of politics, stop gerrymandering and reform voting, which will undoubtedly benefit black voters but his policies are race-blind.
Politics Score: 4

Comprehensiveness: Sanders’ plan for black America reads like a first-year sociology student’s midterm project. While he hits the major talking points, they leave a lot to be desired. He relies heavily on the idea that his overall policies will improve the lives of America.
Comprehensiveness Score: 5

Blind Spots: Sanders doesn’t have any egregious blind spots in his platform because it consists mostly of listing the problems and saying: “I got this.”
Blind Spots Score: 5

Feasibility: As with other platforms, without any specifics, it is hard to say if Sanders could pass these detail-free policies. As a legislator, he hasn’t displayed much effectiveness in getting his proposals passed.
Feasibility Score: 4

History: Sanders voted for the ’94 crime bill but he’s not happy about it. He has made some problematic statements about black people but he also has a history of being on the right side of most civil rights issues. He marched with Martin Luther King jr. and supported Jesse Jackson, but he also wanted to primary the first black president.
History Score: 6

Intentionality: Here’s where Sanders’ problem lies. His black agenda is performative at best. It is devoid of the kind of specifics that he displays in his tax plans, his healthcare proposals and his income inequality policies. In interviews and in practice, he seems to regard issues of race as purely a class issue. And, while race is inextricably tied to economics and class, white supremacy is not a math problem. One has to be intentional about confronting it.
Intentionality Score: 3

Impact: If Sanders’ overall policies were enacted, low-income and middle-class black people would undoubtedly see an economic benefit. It is a plan that includes black people but it is not for black people.
Impact Score: 7

Feeling pretty good about SC. I think we end up within single digits of Biden, so the delegate disparity is minimal, and the media is already predicting a substantial Biden win, which means there won’t be a big narrative shift between now and Super Tuesday.

You don't even have to delve into Warren Vs. Bernie beef to know this is a work. Biden and Pete over Bernie is just risible on its face.

Step 2: Come up with the ranking
Step 3: Retrofit "The Matrix" to support it.

The root thinks you can solve racism with more black prison guards.
