Yeah the Democrat brand is dogshit it's why it's weird anyone thinks "but he's not a Democrat!" is a negative.

everytime someone uses this to criticize sanders, just ask them if they'd prefer he ran as an independent

totally anecdotal, but all my marxist leninist friends are actually talking about voting in the primary for bernie. it's wild since they have been super harsh on electoralism in general, especially after 2016.

if bernie doesn't win the caucus, looking forward to people claiming it was rigged even though it's literally the most open process imaginable. in which the vote counting is observed by campaign volunteers and reported to headquarters in every precinct, where every single person at the caucus can see exactly how many people are supporting each person, and the official result can be matched against the campaign's own counts.

because people still claim that there were rigged coin tosses in 2016

Yeah it crazy how people don't trust the DNC

No we want him to stay in. He's taking MUCH more support away from Biden than from Bernie. The guy who needs to go is Yang.

Yang should go, but we need Warren out right now.

Main Paineframe posted:

I think extremely online leftists aren't the only people who've lost faith in electoralism after decades of bipartisan billionaire domination. The particular way in which it manifests differs from group to group and from place to place, but I think there's a surprising number of people out there who feel that their vote won't matter no matter what they do, and have buried that under a layer of rationalization to distance themselves from that uncomfortable feeling.

And of course, there's plenty of entities out there willing to encourage that thinking in order to suppress or manipulate voters. For example, the New Democrats worked hard to convince Dem lefties that the conservatives will win no matter what, so it's better for the Dems to adopt conservatism themselves so that they can exercise some influence over minor policy details.

this is spot on. most of the country doesn't vote because they have seen over the last thirty years that voting for either side changes nothing about their circumstances. they are completely correct to feel this way.

VP Biden also kinda had a narrative built around him as jolly old uncle Joe, so it's not just a name people recognize, it's also a persona people built up in their heads that runs counter to who Biden really is. There's a reason why every time he actually opens his mouth on the campaign trail he only hurts himself.

The number of "Joe Biden tells voter to go gently caress themselves" stories there have been so far is kind of staggering honestly.
