Someone tell this non-us oblivious dude what it would take for Andrew Yang to win? I like him.

He isn't going to win, and the people who like him are bad people op. He's not smart, he's not charismatic, he has bad political campaigning and debating instincts, he has no base other than silicon valley dweebs who want to jerk off about the singularity, and racists who want to dismantle the social safety net, which he has literally flat out stated that his UBI proposal is a trojan horse, for this purpose. He has no chance and is really running because he is a rich tech investor, and inflating his personal brand however he can will get him a better deal with his next startup company or whatever he does next. 0%

You can't tell me that other campaigns haven't done more insipidly petty poo poo like ripping up yard signs as an underhanded tactic. It happens all the time, there's no procedural approach to having a fair shake at getting the message out.

The numbers aren't real and the likely voter screen is altered every time to create the exact narrative you're co-manufacturing fyi

also a nice lol at this article unambiguously adopting the framing that you start with a position you want to push, you commission a poll, you smash your genitals into the keyboard until the numbers come out the way you want it, you call it a "likely voter screen", and then you use your extremely scientific and serious poll that only cranks and loons would doubt as a cudgel to campaign for whatever hosed up garbage policy you started with

A lot of people cite Trump's terminal Tweeting as one of the main reasons they're so uncomfortable with him as President. It couldn't hurt to try and communicate them. If you get them to vote for you, great, if not, then you haven't spent much time or capital on it anyway.

Unsubstantiated claim, unless you mean "a large percentage of the people on CNN" by "a lot of people".

It can hurt to communicate because of opportunity cost. When you're talking avout trump's tweeting instead of climate change or health care or any of the million other crippling emergency situations the next administration will have to address, you're not convincing anybody of anything.

If you will buy "a return to normalcy" as a remotely plausible promise in TYOOL 2000&19 you are a Biden voter. Good luck convincing people such a thing is achievable or even desirable. You know another way to say "a return to normalcy"? "Make America Great Again". If what you want is more of the way things used to be, congratulations on the comfortable life you were privileged to lead for a while. Non white non het non cis non-"middle class" persons have been out here suffering and dying while you've been fine with netflix and chill so long as there's no upsetting tweets, sir.

DNC leadership will be happy to lose because they’re basically Republicans whose donors will benefit from GOP policy while the Dems do nothing and grift off of it. They fear Bernie and Justice Dems more than doing what’s right or competence or whatever. I’m sure Pelosi will write a sternly worded letter as she’s basking in the millions from generous SF donors.

It’s a rigged game. Because I refuse to believe they are genuinely that dumb. I’d rather think they’re malicious.

they are malicious AND dumb, op

Maybe the Democrats shouldn't be asserting that "running the government like a business" is good.

Anyway Hillary already tried this strategy in 2016 and she snatched defeat from the >99% chance jaws of victory, so we don't even have to debate about this. "A man you can bait with a tweet shouldn't have the nuclear button" was tried and empirically proven to be a complete failure of messaging.

Lmao at Joe Biden having to let people know his brain is just peachy while continuing to sail to the primary with a double digit polling lead. Democratic primary voters are proving themselves dumb as dog poo poo.

There haven't been any votes in the primary yet, and all the poll numbers published are produced by propagandists with a narrative to drive, not by statisticians practicing agenda-free science.

Until there's an actual primary, the polls are the only evidence we got. :shrug:

They aren't evidence of anything except there are propagandists to produce them and motivated buyers to commission them. The methodology, top to bottom, is bunk rear end bunk.

InnercityGriot posted:

Yeah, here's the thing: propaganda shapes narratives and drives voter belief. If people are saying "electability" is what their main quality in a candidate is, and their preferred candidate is Biden, their definition of electability is driven by perception not policy or even reality. Poll numbers are a powerful support for their belief, even if it is shallow, poorly considered. They will say he is most electable until his polls fall or he loses badly early, and the latter is not likely if the most motivated base of voters, old people, continue to refuse to examine their chosen candidate beyond a quality reinforced by their favorite propagandists.

I am saying: there is no realistic correlation between what the results will be when voting begins, and what is being reported as "poll results" now. The methodology is bad top to bottom, if the aim is actually doing statistics.

If you don't increase nuclear, that natural gas line is going to get MUCH bigger.

Decrease demand and they can all go down. The modern world depending on electricity is bad. Less demand means less total energy needs to be produced.

Wait it's actually real. This is from July and passed seemingly unnoticed.

The public is just not that interested in raprock anymore. Limp Bizkit put out their 15th album in 2018 and it sold under 10,000 copies. P.O.D. all had to get jobs. 311 is doing a Las Vegas styled recidency on a cruise ship 365 days a year (lower taxes on their show profits too because they stay in international waters). The industry is hurting.
