Biden’s support among black voters is not even in the same ballpark at this point in the race as Hillary had in both 2008 and 2016.  

Also, I’ve never seen media coverage focus so much on South Carolina in a primary this early in the race.  It’s usually Iowa and only Iowa that gets all the attention.

Iowa and New Hampshire need to fuck right off, just sayin'.  They are so wholly unrepresentative of both the Democratic Party and the American electorate overall.  So so white.

I don’t disagree

(CONTINUED):

 Giant corporations and their allies in Washington and state governments have spent decades systematically attacking unions. As more power has shifted into the hands of Wall Street managers and CEOs, it’s taken trillions of dollars out of the pockets of working families.

We can't have a truly democratic society with so little power in the hands of working people—and we can't have sustained and inclusive economic growth without a stronger labor movement. That’s why returning power to working people will be the overarching goal of my presidency.

My agenda to return power to working people starts with extending labor rights to all workers—including workers who have been misclassified as "independent contractors." We’ll also extend basic protections to farm workers and domestic workers, including the right to organize.

Next, we'll strengthen organizing rights, make it easier for unions to assert their rights, and we’ll expand the right to strike. Unions built America’s middle class, and they will rebuild the middle class.

My administration will raise wages for workers and protect the hard-earned pensions and retirement savings of working people. We'll start by raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour for all workers, including tipped workers and workers with disabilities.

Over the past few decades, workers have been left with fewer employment choices and less control over the companies that employ them. I'll reverse that trend by increasing worker choice and control, including requiring large companies to let workers elect board members.

Every worker should be treated with dignity and respect, and be safe in their place of employment. Any employer that fails to do so should be held accountable. My administration will expand worker protections, combat discrimination, and improve enforcement against violations.

I will also remake the federal courts with nominees who support working people. That starts at the top: I pledge as president to nominate a demonstrated advocate for workers to fill any Supreme Court vacancy.

Together, these changes will boost America’s labor movement, help create an economy that works for everyone, and put power back in the hands of working people.

Seriously, why doesn't someone bring the cops?

You'd think the donuts and the guy with the warrant would be enough.  If a black guy showed up to the press conference, they'd be there in a hot minute.

Someone keep distracting DJ, though. He has been mentioning her a little more and when he does it is getting meaner. I'd like to see more smokescreens between his attention and her popularity. The problem is that his behind the scenes people have noticed.

She's the nominee. I mean she just has to be. Biden is going nowhere and certainly Warren/Bernie supporters aren't going to vote for him when one eventually drops out. Her numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire certainly reflect that eventual reality.

Someone is going to use this data for one of their plans....

 

The pro DJ talking points will be, in no particular order:

1. Trump gives his salary away to charity, if you raise taxes on the wealthy, they will stop giving...(yes, I have actually heard this)

2. It doesn't matter, they have great accountants and know how to shelter their wealth so that's why they pay a lower rate.

3. That's just like an opinion, man.
