I remember 2015. 2015 feels so, so long ago. Decades ago. I can't believe we're actually only a few days from the Iowa primary.

How did we go from "Well Bernie probably won't win Iowa but it's not strictly necessary" a few months ago to "It's very bad if Bernie doesn't win Iowa"? Lol Bloomberg views his height as a flaw comparable to obesity, fake hair, and spray-on tans.

Essentially everyone I've spoken to in person in Wisconsin who are supportive of Bernie are even more radical than people online are actually being. The people crying and moaning about this are Beltway decorumites. They have absolutely no clue how strongly the working class feels about this kind of stuff, and the people "on Twitter" are frankly treating these ghouls with kid gloves.

Your faith doesn't matter one single bit. Your personal outlook is totally irrelevant. Getting worked up, getting anxious, all that is just a waste of time. What happens will be what happens. Bernie Sanders is going to win. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, and I'll deal with that when it comes. I don't see a reason as of yet to torture myself about Bernie winning NH, not after him winning Iowa, not after the dozens of cuckfail shitlibs paraded before us all cratered massively because the American people are fed up with these loving parasites.

OwlFancier posted:The american thing where you identify yourself as being some flavour of european despite having been born in america to american parents is genuinely extremely strange from a UK perspective, where frankly the idea of knowing your ancestry is something you probably don't do unless you're like, 45 and having a midlife geneology crisis, or if you're an extremely inbred aristocrat. My maternal great-grandparents were immigrants (Bavaria), as were my paternal grandparents (Sicily). It was so completely normal for me growing up as a kid, having internalized the idea that I'm a descendant of immigrants and that it's a, if not the, American thing, that it was actually weird to run into other Americans who've been here for like 6-8 or more generations who still consider themselves descendants of immigrants but have no actual connection to their immigrant heritage nor any idea of the languages and cultural traditions that their families came from. And apparently this is the norm for white Americans and despite being a white American, in this specific and particular sense, I have much more in common with other Americans than I do with most white Americans. Anyway, I would say to the British goon that I'm replying to, a big part of this comes from the sheer variety of places that Americans came from. It's a cultural thing to compare and discuss "where we're from" because unless you live in a specific enclave you're probably going to get dozens of different answers on that front and it makes for good conversation material. I imagine it's a much less interesting topic for Brits who come from unbroken lines of servility to nobility.

Craptacular! posted:Yeah well that’s why I still like Bernie. But I think for the near future any competent gay candidate (Butty isn’t competent) is not going to be favored by the “You can’t take dark money” crowd. There’s too many biases against them in this puritanical messed up country to lose the bigots and turn down PACs.

The actual thing undermining democracy is the idea that we can't call a motherfucker a motherfucker because it's rude and embarrassing, and the motherfuckers get to go right along signing bills stripping wealth and rights from the lower classes while pretending that because they didn't physically march into someone's house and seize the wad of cash from underneath their mattress that they aren't culpable for the systemic violence.

She is not making a good faith effort to help here, she is working on Mayo Peter's behalf.

You'd have thought that the older, established corruption, would've prevented that from happening. I can't overstate how dangerous liberals are to the future of this country. They're nakedly attempting to rig the primary -- again -- to deny it to Bernie. If they succeed, Buttigieg's going to get blown out McGovern style and we can write off any hopes of managing the climate emergency in any meaningful way.

Craptacular! posted:Because SA doesn’t have an upvote/downvote system ala Reddit, dogpiling seems to be the method of “downvoting to irrelevancy” used anymore, so I’m sure you’re going to have like four snide responses but I agree with you.aybe it’s because we’ve demonized appeals to decorum to the point where this bullshit is seen as passable, but what I see from Bernie Twitter is some small children on the schoolyard poo poo. You are posting, and have been posting on for 19 years now, the Something Awful forums, a place with a long-held reputation for unvarnishedness. Clutching at your pearls while appealing to civility is rooted in the same place from which came the classism you were spewing this morning and last night. Do you know how people react when I talk to them about politics, and bring up examples like Hillary continuing to bitch about Bernie or Buttigieg working behind the scenes to interfere with the primary? It's disgust, it's consternation, it's anger. That's how normal people react! "That's crap." "What a rat." "None of them are honest." I'm curious about what sort of bubble you're in where people you interact with apparently go off on long detailed conversations about the deficit instead of having a direct, emotional reaction to shitters acting like shitters. Craptacular! posted:I think the core of it is that I follow most of the same political Twitters that people here do, but I’m disgusted by what I see and come here for more measured analysis and less conspiracy theory bullshit. But what I get is CTH megadittos. You ARE reading measured analysis. Peter Buttigieg is interfering with the Nevada caucus. There are multiple direct and circumstantial pieces of evidence, as well as a pattern of behavior, suggesting that this is the case. You're using "conspiracy theory" to attempt to dismiss it out of hand. Kale posted:Says literally who though? The president of the Center for American Progress, to name one. And if you want to write Tanden off as just a twitter nobody, then we can start talking about the myriad legislators and party leaders who are doing exactly this stuff, like Nancy Pelosi and Tom Perez. Look at how party apparatchik treated Nina Turner, how Dianne Feinstein dismissed the kids from Sunrise, at how Hillary sneered at and her audience hissed at the BLM protesters. We could have an entire thread about how Barack Obama is and was doing exactly this!

and "being nice to political opponents". I care about observable results and whether a certain action actually helps achieve that or just serves as waste of time from other actions people could be taking that do achieve desired results and objectives. If making these people feel uncomfortable on twitter directly affects their ability to organize and effect harmful policy or elect harmful candidates than IMO it's fair game since I'd expect the same from them (i.e Republicans/Neo Nazi types) at this point. I'm very skeptical calling Pete Buttgieg a rat and making memes is putting his camp off it's game. Rattling Buttgieg supporters on twitter doesn't actually achieve anything if they still end up going out and voting for him anyway or unless in that process it adds a counter vote for the Bernie camp somehow. You can tell convince yourself it does, but that doesn't make it the case in absence of observable evidence.

Chinese Gordon posted:Calling for a recanvas is a mistake. By the time it's done, any momentum gain from winning will be moot, and the very act of calling it makes Bernie look like a sore loser. Also it keeps the Iowa catastrophe in the news just when we should be moving to a "Bernie is the undisputed frontrunner" narrative. That's not why they're doing it, they're doing it because it prevents them from declaring Mayo Peter the victor until after New Hampshire, at which point it'll cease mattering.
