  1. I do what I want sir
  2. That is a very bad poll for Biden, Pete, and Warren that they're so low with the old crowd. I bet Steyer takes second, he's spent a shitload advertising there.
  3. Yep, Nevada only started using the caucus format in 2008. Can't wait for them to double down on this inevitable shitshow.
  4. I think this is the third different story to come out over the past week or so about volunteers and captains still being in the dark as to how these iPads and "tool" will be used. If they have any problems then they were warned on multiple occasions.
  5. Dude, upload it to another image hosting site, imgur hotlinking doesn't work here.
  6. How is the person with the widest appeal not going to freaking win a crowded primary? Isn't that literally the point of holding a primary over all 50 states? I don't get this argument at all, it' speaking more about you and less about actual people who are showing up to vote.
  7. Dude is shook. Damn near everyone who is committed to a Democratic candidate that isn't him despises him on Twitter. Imagine how much Trump's redneck Twitter army will get under his skin.
  8. So the video is going to be played and that guarantees Trump the election? What is your criticism here, that the US having relations with USSR is now supposedly toxic?
  9. As much as he is the face of the movement, he literally started getting cranky at that rally in Mesquite when they started chanting Bernie! Bernie! He knows he has to build a movement that is sustainable and he can't be a demagogue, he's old as shit and, I believe, sincerely wants people to believe in a working class movement and not him.
  10. @bad_teammate not sure if you listen to the Trillbillies podcast (not sure if I've asked that before) but I'm sure you're aware of it. On their latest Patreon episode they released today they're interviewing Sturgill Simpson and not even 5 minutes in they have him talking shit about J.D. Vance lol.
  11. It's going to be a major crapshoot if people question these supposed preloaded totals on the iPads and they have to go and dig up the physical paper ballots. I like the early voting because it always is helpful to let people who normally couldn't attend, but this is assistance on using iPads is going to probably cause as many headaches as they had in Iowa.
  12. I don't get it, I guess it's a bad look he's silencing her?
  13. Hey, a few of us have been saying that for quite some time. Not even trying to really blame Pete in all this honestly because Lis Smith seems like the kind of crazed person who is just doing whatever she wants.
  14. If she wasn't a horrible person I'd have massive amount of respect for that kind of chaotic evil energy.
  15. It's not impossible, I just literally have no faith that insurance companies, unless they're forced by law to have almost zero power, are going to willingly just take a step back. You can get annoyed with me all you want and use your superficial woke scolding language, but I have no trust in these companies to do anything moral ever. A tremendous number of younger people feel the same way, I don't care how much you want to explain to me that the Western European countries use some hybrid model. After having so many issues from just getting ear tubes with my daughter and her immediately having a deductible after she was born, I want them to be wiped off the face of the earth.
  16. It's just amazing that self-described moderates come in here and criticize her understanding of economics as if there aren't well respected economists who agree with AOC. This is while we race down a primary cycle where one man has spent over 300 million dollars and people seriously think this is good and that he should be the next president of the United States. We're at a point where extreme measures are going to have to be taken, a bunch of little small steps because well off white people think we can't rock the boat too much is not going to fix our climate, our health care system, the massive inequality, the insane little that the federal minimum wage is set at, etc.
  17. He got high as hell, but I don't disagree with that. However, Gordon should have won just for this though,
  18. Whatever happens, Aaron's 360 dunk off the backboard has to be the best of the night.
  19. Which economic course did you take that says that says the grotesque inequality in this country is something that is sustainable? Also weren't you the poster who literally advocated against giving the homeless housing to try and solve the problem because everyone else took personal responsibility and worked hard for their livelihoods?
  20. Account says they're working on sharing access to it.
  21. I've said this before but do you seriously think a system that still enables private insurance is going to somehow work out magically for us? These companies are just going to accept a smaller role? Unless we strip then of virtually all their power I don't want them to have a seat at the table, they've shown literally nothing that would convince me they would play along. It's almost as if those European countries don't have decades of history where private health insurers became the most powerful entities in their respective countries. Cigna has to be knee-capped, not offered a seat at a new table.
  22. I was watching it live on Youtube. I kind of expected it to be his same old speech, which it was in content, but holy hell was that crowd energized. At one point there was a lady near the stage that must have fainted or collapsed so he stopped speaking, asked EMT to quickly get to her, and then literally tried to start walking down with his thermos filled with water to her. She was fine and I thought that it was a good moment for him but might kill the energy. I'll be damned if the crowd wasn't twice as loud when he hit his usual points after that. He wins Texas and California on Super Tuesday then, man, It's looking good.
  23. Well the good news is that we're only two states into this primary cycle. This comment though, I've seen so much of this on twitter from black and brown men who were stopped in NYC during Bloomberg's administration and they are simply trying to amplify their message so that at the very least we aren't having to choose between him and Trump in November. Benjamin Dixon, the man who simply took the video of his Aspen Institute comments and shared it on twitter that went viral, lives in Atlanta and has said he's trying to mend any friendships he's lost over this primary to at the very least ensure that Bloomberg isn't the nominee. He got attacked for being a Bernie guy and a progressive on that stupid CNN clip, and right now he's trying his damnedest to get the word out to hopefully combat Bloomberg's advertising campaign.
