Yeah it's gotta be this. They saw the polls in California with every candidate besides Bernie below viability, which would have sealed it for him. Now with Butt out, they'll all be above the threshold. Bernie will still win a bunch of states, but it won't be a huge blowout like folks were hoping.

I do not for one second believe that Butt bailed out of his goodwill towards the loving party. He's absolutely been bought out.

The general working theory is that, as a weird virus we haven't seen before, active immune systems can fight it off better. Most diseases take out the young and elderly, but the young are generally disease-infected petri dishes to begin with. So, it's only lethal to the olds with their tired immune systems, or the immunocompromised.

Right. What I'm saying is that even for the best-faring groups it's much more dangerous than the flu.

If someone can look at the current political situation and decide that Republicans are worth voting for because of their stance on guns while ignoring everything else, they're not worth engaging with.

There aren't many "one-issue" issues in this country, but guns is absolutely one of them. Talking about gun confiscation is about as appealing as proposing mandatory abortions to a loving lot of people. If they're not in Trump's camp, they'll probably just stay home.

Which fucks the Democrats. This is the kind of poo poo I've been talking about for...oh I dunno, the past 5 years. You didn't believe me in 2016, and 2020 looks like more of the same.

The logical extension of this is one of two things: absolutely always lie to single issue voters and then do what you want later (wise)

Always be beholden to single issue voters (dumb)

Unfortunately, the GOP is wiser on this than the Democratic Party and will lie about big things then do the opposite in practice.

That is not the logical extension. I would suggest the logical extension is to pick your battles. Shoving your finger in the face of a union worker on camera and spewing bullshit is probably not the path to the loving White House.

That is a ridiculous mischaracterization of what I posted.

It's basically the textbook definition of strawmanning, as you did not at all address my point and instead invented a point I never made and knocked it down. And even then, not sure you knocked it down because "eh, gently caress you," has been pretty effective from the right.

Hardly. I should've deleted the last part, because I agree the GOP is vastly better at knowing their audience.

This is not a logical anything, and I'm not strawmanning. It's a throw up your hands and scream at clouds post. Do I really need to dig into this and pick it apart? Are you honestly saying this is your actual opinion when we're talking about Joe Biden shoving his finger in a union worker's face on camera and talking about seizing loving guns?

Edit:

mlmp08 posted:

Real talk: How does one "pick their battle" with anti-choice voters to win their votes? Cause I'm pretty sure if they really are single issue, the only way to pick your battle is to say "gently caress em, don't need em," or it's to acquiesce, or it's to just lie to them and then ignore them after the fact. If it's some mushy-mouthed stuff about appealing to them otherwise, then they are by definition not single-issue voters and instead multi-issue voters who happen to be pro-life.

You don't make that issue a major talking point. Save it for reelection. You need to pull out all the stops on this one because the alternative is Donald Trump as a second term president and continued GOP control of the Senate and PROBABLY a supermajority on the Supreme Court. Every day I'm waiting for Joe to have his "deplorables" or "put all the coal miners out of work" moment, and this might be one of them.

Have to take time off work, a lot of people can't afford to do that or don't have the option, the GOP has shut down voting locations, voter ID requirements are mostly racist bullshit to suppress minority voters, districts all over the place are jerrymandered to gently caress so there's a prevailing feeling that the vote won't matter, the lack of accurate representation also leads to that feeling, etc.

What you’re describing is a tactic to do some mix of either lying, lying by omission and refusal to engage (often wise), or by attempting to appeal to people who are not actually single-issue.

“I’m pro-choice, but I won’t make
that a major issue,” does not win over hardcore single-issue anti-choice voters.

“Look, I want to talk about jobs,” in response to being asked about government abortion law is a misdirection that amounts to lying by omission if directly asked about a stance on choice. It might be a wise move, but it falls in the category of being coldly dishonest for your perceived political greater good, which is not a bad idea!

Maaaaybe it could work to say “aw, shucks that darn SCOTUS!” But that is 95%+ of the time a way to pass the buck and refuse to answer with honestly about one’s views or plans.

Single issue voters who are truly single issue are best just ignored in the scheme of things, because the only way to get their vote is either to agree with them, be dishonest with them, or maybe to be the “least worst” left over candidate for them. There are places a Democrat can be “least worst,” but something like abortion rights isn’t it.

You say "I'm not going to take your guns" and keep walking.

He didn't say that, and I'm saying right now that he'll never get the opportunity to actually go through with it. We'll see how long this gaffe lingers.

Fister Roboto posted:

Look, I'm not saying that you shouldn't vote for Biden. I'm saying that you shouldn't say you will definitely vote for Biden (or against Trump) no matter what. Do you understand the difference? It's about bargaining for a better platform. You don't start bargaining by saying "I'll give you whatever you want no matter what".

You haven't even OPENED your Democrat's Handbook.

When you look at the 2016 Republican Party platform, there's all kinds of stuff they wanted to pass, in large part because there's only so much you can break or defund though executive action alone. They failed, for a variety of reasons, and those failures are going to hurt them on election day.
