I have to remind myself that the internet isn't real life and that the Bernie Stans that are already screaming that they will write in Sanders rather than vote for Warren or any other Dem nominee doesn't mean much but gently caress is it aggravating to watch. I love Sanders, I voted for him last time and I'm glad that he made it to the national stage talking about more left leaning/socialist policies in this country, but the binders some people put on about his chances or weak spots really grinds my gears. Like, seeing people unironically state that AOC or Ilhan Omar would be lock candidates following Sanders kind of tells you how deep in the sand some people's heads are. Yes, they're great politicians, but if you think America is going to suddenly elect either of them to the presidency if they were eligible to run, loving lol @ you. colachute posted:Warren is going to turn out to be as electable as Hillary Clinton. You are definitely going to get a lot of the same flavors of bullshit hurled at Warren that was hurled at Clinton, but Clinton was in the public eye for 25+ years and had the baggage to go with it. I don't think it's a lock either way but I don't think her unfavorables will reach the same levels it did for Clinton during the general.

Crakkerjakk posted:Depends on what your theory of power is. If it's to keep fighting the same "turn out your base and hope to convince the very small 'centrists' to mostly vote for you" that the Dems have been relying on since '92, no. I don't disagree with you. I had the same point of contention with Clinton when she ran in 2016 (Universal healthcare was too hard, so why bother? Obamacare is fine as is! etc etc) because that poo poo didn't inspire people to turn out. However, the idea that AOC or Omar would be able to get the nomination and win a national election because they are insanely popular within their districts because of their outspoken progressive/leftist beliefs is ignoring a lot of realities and history in this country. It's also stupid to pretend that Warren or other Dem candidates are incapable of offering the same kind of message. People who are already talking up Warren as Clinton 2.0 are conveniently ignoring the difference in messaging and tone between the two. You don't have to like Warren but pretending she's offering the same centrist message that Clinton did is being willfully ignorant at best and intentionally dishonest at worst. One day? Yeah, I hope that we can elect someone like AOC or Omar or people like them, but for now, it's going to be a loving grind and a struggle no matter who the Dem candidate ends up being. I'd rather make incremental gains in hopes that we can do something better next election than sit on my rear end. Shorter summary, https://twitter.com/tbogg/status/1036415161102360576 Crakkerjakk posted:She's not, she's one of the better senators, but that's a low bar to clear in many cases. If you want a detailed breakdown of why she's not that great (with sources) read this: I've read this, and while it makes some valid points of concern about Warren, it also makes a lot of bad faith arguments and takes a ton of poo poo out of context to run with the "SHE'S ACTUALLY A CORPORTIST SHILL!!!" narrative that really didn't surface till a few months ago. Conveniently right around the same time she started pacing and out performing Sanders in polling. Warren isn't perfect. Neither is Bernie. Anyone telling you otherwise is a loving moron.

Crakkerjakk posted:I don't think Warren is Clinton 2.0. I think she's (probably) Obama 2.0, with less charisma and a worse personal history. She might surprise me if she gets the presidency, we'll see (or not). That's fair (Obama 2.0), though like you said, we'll see one way or another. And I agree with you on the point of the primary. My aggravation is less with people stanning for one candidate or another and more with people being willfully disingenuous in their criticisms while also intentionally ignoring their own candidates problem areas, or putting their heads into the sand whenever things don't pan out the way they want them to.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Agreed, the everyone rightly remembers the early to mid seasons being excellent but either forgets or didn’t watch the show getting downright terrible near the end. Seasons 10 and 11 had a few winners like Church Hopping or Grand Theft Arlen, but we could totally lose 12 & 13. Just try to watch “Lost in MySpace” without becoming sad. The Myspace episode was terrible but the finale was aces. Really hoping for a complete series Blu Ray one day.

There was a tweet thread when this all first happened and I wish I could find it, but it was some reporter with the theory that the guys who shot him were CIs and they hosed up somehow (hence the getting shot part) and that they'd likely be dead soon enough.

colachute posted:They have done this for every story. Hi. Normally when things like this happens, you're right, it's forgotten within a week because the President shoots diarrhea into a press gaggle or something. It's been almost six weeks of this story. It's not going away. And it's only getting worse. Polling shows people who usually move on because of some other stupid poo poo are still following it, which surprises me too, but gently caress it, I'll take whatever we can get at this point. I don't think he's going to be removed by the senate, but it sure as gently caress isn't helping him get reelected.
