I'm still amazed the entire campaign strategy is "the polls show Joe will win!" until they don't show that.  Where do you go from there?

I’ve stood next to Obama the most!!!  His campaign has been lazy but also it’s with the supreme disadvantage of having to hide your candidate because he doesn’t think we’ll on his feet and age creeping.  Should have messaged about his appeal to blue collar and union workers in the swing midwestern states along with his appeal to minorities with a heavier hand but again, his inability to really go out and stump has killed him.

I did some research into Biden’s first run for President and it turns out he was torpedoed by the Michael Dukakis campaign over a weird plagiarism scandal that wouldn’t even register as disqualifying today.  

The Dukakis campaign actually felt bad about it and later apologized.  If anything, it really demonstrated how weak of a candidate Biden is.  

It’s bizarre the candidates that have unsuccessfully run for president in the past are now campaigning on their “electability” in 2020.  Seems like there’s more empirical evidence to support a case for their un-electability.

maybe barack can take him on a drive to a nice farm upstate. 

I know BO doesn’t want to put his thumb on the scale, but he has to have a preference and we know it’s not Joe.  Push him out of the race and save us from ourselves.

JFC, Joe needs to drop out. Amy Clo is the recipient of his potential votes, imo. But we will see. Joe probably won't  be convince  to leave the field. 

I don’t know.  He’s pretty entertaining and is taking heat off the other candidates.  Let the senile old man play politics.  Literally no telling what he will say next.

I don't think it's Klobuchar; I think it's Harris.  But you're right.  Biden needs to clear out.

Harris was always the best Biden alternative.  The problem Harris ran into is she took black voters for granted and they’re just not into her. I know this because I watch the Roland Martin show.  

She's been doing a lot of outreach to these voters.  She is the only person who knows how to talk to them.  Fuckin Liz Warren sitting in a barber shop was the funniest optics I've ever seen.

Again y'all aren't getting it. He can lose IA an NH and still be the nominee. Like it or not, he's consolidating his lead among black voters. 

You aren't going to get the nomination on white voters. Period. And until he starts running off black voters he's still in the lead. 

We’ve known for a while.  His numbers are soft as fuck and he’s not growing his support among black voters, it’s always been at 50% or less.  CNN Cillizza is the biggest hack when it comes to analysis.

It’s pretty ironic that a party that professes to be progressive has the ability to choose from a gay man, a white woman, a black woman, and a black man are still favoring an old straight white man, a man who was against gay marriage, who voted against busing, and aligned with the banks.

Anti-semitism in this post, IMO

/both sides

No shit

But maybe progress will get done if both sides stop deflecting everything with "but they other party does this" and actually address the issues in their own yard.

Start holding your breath in 3.....2......1

 

We are so diametrically opposed to each other in this nation. One party trying to swerve hard left, the other trying to maintain a status quo (which isn't going to be a sustainable philosophy.

The breakdown is the two sides can no longer agree on the problems and this makes any solution impossible.

One side says climate change is a real thing we should do something about it, the other sides says it's fake.

One side says we have a voter suppression problem, the other side says no, we have a voter fraud problem. 

One side says we have a border security problem, the other side says we have a cruel border enforcement problem. 

One side says we have a gun violence problem, the other side says no, it's a mental health problem and we're not going to do anything about that either. 

About the only thing that is bipartisan is agreement on absurd military spending which is money we waste on problems that do not exist.

The first part of your statement is definitely true.  The second...torbush.

The breakdown is pivoting from the critique instead of addressing the critique. I'm going to vote for whomever is the democratic primary winner, but it's a sad day when the more progressive party is still voting for the straight white male.
