    His candidacy has the greatest chance of actually getting some “more liberal” and “very liberal” folks to stay home.

    Dem voters may not be hostile to Sanders, but his numbers have been static, while the other 60-65% seem to float among the other candidates. The game-changer, IMO, is if he can manage a breakthrough with the African-Americans who’ve propped up Biden’s numbers. His answers on racial issues have been less than well-received. Of course, Buttigieg and Bloomberg both have their problems there as well. For my part, I’m not personally hostile to Bernie, but I’m hesitant to test the effect of four months of the GOP machine highlighting the things Boomers will be scared of in the general. I get why Trump wants to face him. I also get that he’s tried tearing down Biden to get to Bernie. But neither would be, IMO, the toughest dem challenger.

    I think this is correct. This also underscores Bernie’s ceiling. The folks worried about beating Trump first and foremost aren’t gravitating to Bernie when their #1, 2, 3, etc. falter. Bernie’s path to the nomination is one where the culling stalls until at least very late in the game. If Biden’s freefall continues apace, and Klobuchar’s lack of a campaign apparatus sinks her shot at following up the NH surprise, I think you see Bloomberg pivot to a kill shot on Buttigieg, and that’s all he’d need to win.

    Seems redundant considering his life choices took him to Arlington for an extended stay.

    Since it appears none of Thomas Whitmore, James Marshall, Dave Kovic or Andrew Shepherd or will not be the nominee, I'll vote for whichever schlub you fucks come up with.

    C’mon, you know better. This isn’t nearly that bridge. 40% of the electorate would openly advocate any crazy political stance he makes short of guns cause climate change, and get your free abortions after you vote without ID.

    Oh yeah, a buffer. The Trumps got a lot of buffers!

    I'll post 2 things I like about Trump. His presidency has been the best possible stress test of every claim the GOP has made since wholly embracing "conservatism," and every claim has failed. His presidency has also accelerated the demise of "third way" centrism and begun the process of the Democratic Party embracing a real ideological opposition to right-wing "thought."

    Yep. Just fold the whole thing into Nebraska, do the same with North and South Dakota, then give Puerto Rico and DC statehood, and all this silliness will end. Then we''ll have new silliness.

    Well, yeah. But corporate fucks are gonna do their thing. My point is really that the DNC is setting themselves up for 4 more years out of power by giving Trump the campaign lies he wants to run with.
  12. softlynow
    The segments of mass media that are agreeing right now to do the DNC's bidding and give us Biden, should agree right now to ignore and bury every Trump attempt at whataboutism, both sidesing, and other shit that's meant to make Trump's corruption simply one brand of dirty politics rather than the criminal enterprise that it is.

    All I know is that I want to watch Larry David debate Alec Baldwin about 2.6% more than I want to see Woody Harrelson do so.

    He’s winning over voters that way. Dem Inc. is showing its age, and a new paradigm is coming. Don’t worry about their tactics until they start working.

    Can the demographics talk (which I hope isn't going away) be ported to a new thread?

    OJ has nearly a million followers. In the Twitter age, the 15 minutes never ends.

    Another year and a half of this to go.

    I see hammers has posted a zerohedge article as authoritative in a thread about media bias. If he weren’t impervious to critical thought I’d attempt to point out his error.
  22. softlynow
    Sure. And in a couple days we’ll be in another moment listening to how Biden is poor tipper, or Pete’s place settings aren’t gay enough. I missed the old days when what really mattered were sex scandals, drug use, and rumors of secret interracial love-children. This shit is boring and stupid.

    Why must everything these days feel like an episode of Real Housewives? We now suffer through granular coverage of everything from sports to movies/tv to technology to this long-ass, trending towards farcical presidential horse race. In the end, the focus always drifts towards the train-wreck quality relationship that inevitably pops up. We need to cut out the transitional period and just make "Ass" the number one movie and elect the most Dwayne Camacho fuck head we can find.

    There's a thread for that, please. Can we not bump this one continually while that discussion plays out (I'm sure the b_t signal will be answered soon)?
