It sucks that Bernie isn't allowed to get a word in, but if it lets the centrists fight among themselves it works

Yang seems like a decent guy, he just needs a bit more political education. The foundation is there

In 8 years I want Yang to sell hats that say "dialectical materialism"

Billionaire man... good?

Steyer may appear to be a nice dude. He may actually be nice

But he is the capitalist wolf that will wear the sheep's clothing of progressive policy in order to bolster his position

It's important to remember that every single dollar he has made has been at the expense of someone else, and his immense wealth NECESSITATES the immiseration of millions of not billions of people. He will walk back his progressive stances the moment he can

But I agree he sounds like a nice guy (this isn't an attack on you, just a generalized rebuttal)

Although every time I saw them they were losing to the Bears so maybe :smug:

Well yeah, but I mean they tend to win the easy ones and lose when it counts, so I feel it to be analogous

Gotta say this is an exceptionally strong statement from Yang...

It feels like he's added a focus to his message beyond UBI

Like he's so close to identifying the problem, he is the Tantalus of political candidates, with true understanding so close but just out of his reach

He knows the language, he knows what he's doing

I love to see the media pivot to a different centrist, hope it keeps happening after every debate and they split support and let Bernie walk away with the nom

I really feel like the plan is to gently caress everything up so there is a brokered convention and then they can gently caress Bernie without seeming to favor one candidate.

For bonus "worst timeline" points, Hillary Clinton wins the nomination.

I can see what you mean. It comes down to whether or not the big media entities who are able to shape these narratives are getting their marching orders from the same place, or if they're all operating in a self-interested way that comes from ownership that is anti-Bernie, but focused on a different centrist candidate that they believe would favor them

yea that may be 'the plan' but that plan still has the variables of four derranged centrist sociopaths bleeding each other's votes who all genuinely seem to believe they deserve to be president with their own factions and supporters, while Bernie remains pretty well unchallenged for the 'we pay for it with loving money, okay? Next question' lane of actual progressiveness.

exactly, it ends up being a huge advantage for Bernie, if only because they still have yet to unite behind a single succdem, it allows Bernie to carry the standard of progressivism unopposed

it rules.

I think it's moot. I really think Bernie is going to end up first or second in every state and crush the competition while they split the centrist vote.

Oh I agree completely, not sure if I was able to communicate that well in my current state
