Why though? She isn't actually proposing anything that will damage the Democratic party. At least the 2008 operation chaos idiocy had a logical through line of nobody would vote for a black man and it'll hurt Hillary. Unless they think she'll actually destroy Donny in the astral plane, live, and in the middle of a debate, giving them a shot at holding on to the White House.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Hasn't Bernie been polling best in New Hampshire for a while? And his ground game is focused there. If he wins the first primary then the 'electability' voters are gonna switch fast, Biden will in all likelihood crash hard. After that the question is how the establishment responds. It depends. If Biden manages to win Iowa then Bernie winning New Hampshire doesn't necessarily knock him out. If biden loses both Iowa and New Hampshire he's totally done. I have faith in the good people of Iowa to remember their history and vote for virtually every other candidate before they vote for Biden.

Helsing posted:It seems like a conscious strategy though, publicly declaring yourself in favour of doing something when all the cameras are rolling and then quietly walking it back the next day on the assumption nobody who matters will call you out on it. It feels a lot more cynical than just feeling the need to please a given audience in the moment. This is the result of sucking up all Hillary's lovely staff that she could. Because if you want to win you should definitely take all the advice you can get from veterans of Hillary 08 and Hillary 16.

HannibalBarca posted:The Hell of it is, would this even matter now? Aside from catharsis, anyway. The McConnell playbook isn't exactly a complicated one. Are we supposed to believe that it takes a uniquely indomitable strength of will to be an obstructionist jagoff as Senate leader, especially since it's proven now to be such a tremendous success? It probably takes a true piece of poo poo like McConnell to think up and enact most of the more egregious poo poo they've been doing in the Senate. For instance, I don't think anyone else who might have been Majority Leader in 2016 would have simply refused to even talk to Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court. Of course, now that he's trail blazed new inroads into assholery, whoever takes over probably largely maintains. But, that depends on who gets the job and still limits new frontiers in assholery. Like if Ted Cruz somehow takes over, then yeah, we get pure evil 24/7. On the other hand if Mitt Romeny manages to get the job then it'll probably be regular levels of douchebaggery. One of the perpetually very concerned Senators isn't going to have the drive to wake up and push the boundaries of evil every day. They just don't have the same passion for evil as ol' Mitch. I think the "catching the vapors" contengent of the caucus is most likely to take over from Mitch at the moment. We still aren't so far gone as to have the Cotton, Lee, and Cruz contingent in ascendancy. Gyges fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Jul 8, 2019 |

Also, when looking at his 1988 run I learned both that Biden never changes and that he is anti-coke. quote:Once underway, Biden's campaign messaging became confused due to staff rivalries and bickering. Four different themes were presented, sometimes simultaneously: "Pepsi Generation", "Voice of optimism", "Save the children", and "Scold the voters".

It would be nice if polls that ask respondents how closely they pay attention to politics, or how informed they are, followed up with general questions of fact to then gauge the quality of the respondents information. I mean, I know someone who follows politics and the news very closely, but they do so through absolute garbage sources. I also know someone who thinks they are highly informed about politics because political news is currently highly pervasive in the culture. Neither one knows dick, but would respond to a question about how closely they're following things with "very".

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Polls used to do exactly this! These are called “filter questions”. Of course, using filter questions tends to yield a smaller sample and less sensational results, so polling firms don’t do this anymore, because integrity is hard and gently caress it, right? Oh, I don't want them filtered out. They're still people at least marginally engaged and somewhat likely to vote. I just want a follow up breakdown where we find out that X% of those who self report as closely following politics, or whatever, can/cant answer simple questions of fact and Y% of those who don't self report as such can/can't. All the other categories, other than liberal/conservative, that voters are broken down into in these polls have some level of quantitative basis. Men think this, Rich people think this, High School only educated think this. But the segment of voters who make up the closely following/highly informed/whatever grouping is subjective as gently caress. Which is a problem, because the entire point of the question is to try and differentiate people who are like us and really paying attention and those who catch a soundbite or two on the TV when they're eating lunch at Zaxby's.

Majorian posted:I have a feeling they'd be too quickly reminded of their own mortality and morbidity when they saw his red, bloated face straining as he tried to push his decrepit carcas an inch above the ground. Nah, Biden looks like he can still do a couple push ups before going full fat kid in gym class. The perceptional difference is all he's going for anyway, because nobody thinks he looks better than the rest of the Clown Car and his entire being is tied up in 1970s good ol' boyism. It's the same "reasoning" behind his previous claim to totally be down to fight Donny behind the gym. In the good old days, the ones Biden will totally return us to, people passed bipartisan plans to destroy the working class and successfully calling someone weak was a total slam dunk win. You can't vote for a wuss, guys.

KIM JONG TRILL posted:I still don’t get how that’s not an over the cap in kind donation to Warren. The effect is that you are giving her access to something she otherwise would not have been able to access and that is valued at $100k. I don't think there's a limit to how much a part can give a candidate. So, using your example, a guy paid a comercial landlord $100k for a building in the name of the DNC. While everyone involved was winking like they have a tick, the DNC then decided to go ahead and let Warren use this nice new piece of real estate they just got from a nice donor who didn't give anything at all to Warren. Our campaign finance laws are farcical.

However once Swalwell admitted to the world that it was all a silly prank, that left one spot open. The teens piloting the husk of Gravel, and the Democratic Governor of Montana who doesn't have a cool dog then were in the running for that last spot. Unfortunately the Gravel teens couldn't trick enough pollsters to include Gravel in their polls, so governor no cool dog got in instead because he got at least 1% of respondents in enough polls to win the tie breaker.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:One reason I think Trump is going to win again is that the economic effects of his dumbshit policies haven’t come through yet, we’re still in the Obama economy so people’s checkbooks are either status quo ante or doing slightly better. Everything else is just stuff that pisses off people who are left of center, and that’s the major reason a lot of people voted for Trump in the first place, so mission accomplished! This is operating on the presumption that we’re going to have a candidate who isn’t making a competent economic argument, so basically anyone not named Bernie or Warren. I think this is misunderstanding what happened in 2016. Donny didn't win because he activated a previously unknown need from Manslo's hierarchy to own the libs. He won because 1)people didn't like Hillary, 2) people thought Donny was going to lose anyway, and 3) people misjudged the effect of a big dumb idiot reality TV celebrity being in charge. Donny's victory has rendered reasons 2 and 3 moot, and as long as someone as hated by the public at large as Hillary isn't nominated, 1 is off the table as well. Falling rear end backwards through the gaps in our electoral machinery isn't going to work twice in a row for him. Either he actually wins the popular vote after sufficient blood sacrifices to the dark ones, or he straight up loses. His massive approval inversion isn't because a lot of people kind of aren't on board, almost all of his over 50% disapproval is made up of hard core hate. Iamgoofball posted:as a previous bernie donator and a current bernie donator, i support bernie and will be voting for him but if he drops out beforehand i can see why people would shift over to supporting warren as a result Once again I renew my request that people stop putting forward stupid VP nominations of people who are far, far more useful in their current position than that the position of waiting around for something to happen to President Bernie.

Helsing posted:Not that this message will gain much headway with this terminally online audience, but try to make peace with the fact that voting and donating are among the least significant or consequential political acts you can take, and find ways to get involved in organizing around issues like wages, rent, discrimination, police violence, poverty, etc. Elections can be a useful way of mobilizing support and trying to push new ideas into public consciousness but realistically speaking the US government will likely collapse before a left wing candidate ever gains power. But what if I wear my Bernie T-Shirts to the store?

Anyone who tells you Donny is worse than anyone could have predicted is a fool and a liar. The only people who weren't calling for a total poo poo show were desperately hoping for a miracle. If anything, the sheer incompetence of team Donny is the only thing preventing Donny from actually being fully as bad as was predicted.
