  1. She's absolutely positioned herself as such, otherwise why start releasing plans where you're already set in a compromise of negotiating before even the first primary or caucus. At this point it's moot because unless polling is extremely inaccurate she doesn't have a chance. If Bernie is antagonistic then that's fine, because a lot of us young people are tired of a party that refuses to adapt without someone from the outside mounting a tremendous amount of pressure on the party apparatus. He absolutely has a moment of behind him if you bother to look at any of his rallies or pulling among people who are less than 40.
  2. Love the extremely long history of the Democratic party really improving our lives with incrementalism. It's why DSA candidates aren't becoming more popular!
  3. I'm just going to be livid if Pete and Biden get a noticeable boost come Feb 3rd because of this. I really really hope his strategy of going at disenfranchised and first-time voters (that don't show up in polling numbers) is going to pay off.
  4. @bad_teammate do you think it's going to hurt him being basically stuck almost the entire time in DC through the early states?
  5. nm, fuck Derty Berd looks like he's someone's sock. We've been through this a million times
  6. I think it's overblown, but it is a primary. 2008 was significantly more nasty
  7. Lee Carter, the Democratic Socialist in the VA House, is going to stay a safe house on Monday because of the numerous death threats. The saddest part? You stupid inbred gun-fucks are threatening an ally, someone who is very pro 2A and thinks a leftist movement should have the right to bear arms (which I don't really agree with all that much), but uneducated knuckle-draggers see socialist and have been conditioned to think gulags for anyone who doesn't support liberalism (which is different than real leftism).
  8. Sounds accurate to me
  9. Could we just go ahead and call these militia groups terrorists?
  10. Not surprising, the front-runners are spending their energy in the earliest of the early states and Steyer, the billionaire, is running non-stop TV ads in the later states where he has a longer amount of time to influence opinion.
  11. God damn, what a scoop. Can't wait until they unearth what r/chapotraphouse has done to get quarantined!
  12. Honestly fuck CNN for putting that together, just straight up showing how much they don't care about trying to ruin their campaigns.
  13. 25k new donors is the most insane to me, getting very moist.
  14. I love Bernie, but I think him saying it's a private matter and it's not appropriate to discuss it makes him look better as it shows CNN is just 100% trying to manufacture more drama. That's my opinion though
  15. I 100% agree with you who say this only hurts both their sides. I do think Bernie should have just dismissed it as a private matter, seems like Warren (according to the wonk analysis) did better in the debate last night anyways. Less than 3 weeks away until Iowa and I have a bad feeling that Bernie may get hurt because CNN was determined to frame this as bad as possible for him, not just this dumb drama, but for all the healthcare questions.
  16. Yes, the guy who specifically notes that if he becomes President that he will still need everyone's help to get a progressive agenda passed, who's campaign is "Not me, US" (100% the opposite of Trump's "I, I, I" campaign), who wanted Warren to run against Hillary, is only worried about his interest. This is in spite of us being able to clearly look at damn near every other developed nation in the world and see that our standard of living, healthcare, and inequality are absolute dog shit despite being the richest country in the world. Just admit you're mad Warren has dipped in the polls after leading him, it would be more honest.
  17. Yes, he took responsibility for it the fuck is wrong with your brain? “This time, we’re starting from a different position,” Sanders said on the show. “We were criticized for being too white, that was a correct criticism. We were criticized for being too male, that was a correct criticism. That’s going to change.” https://www.cleveland.com/news/2019/03/bernie-sanders-admits-2016-presidential-campaign-was-too-white.html
  18. Dude literally said at the beginning of this campaign that his 2016 campaign was not focused enough on people of color and was too white and took steps to address that, this was probably his biggest criticism he took last time. You're like three posts out from saying "I'll vote third party if Bernie is the nominee."
  19. I've tried to refrain from crapping on her that much throughout this whole ordeal because I'm committed to voting for Bernie in the primary and I have bias. I thought she completely screwed up by answering that reporters question about the supposed phone-bank candidate "smear" flyer and then going on record saying that Bernie specifically said "A women cannot win the presidency." Whatever, okay, it's a primary and she's attacking him now and Bernie goes on record denying that he said such a phrase, at least in some blatant manner. Her not trying to squash that crap last night at the debate was ugly, it made me lose a lot of respect for her even though she's still my second pick (just a much more distance pick now). Bernie didn't handle it the best either because he wanted to rehash the details, him trying to make a point that he beat an incumbent technically less than 30 years ago seemed dumb too, but she somehow came out looking more untrustworthy in that exchange (especially because CNN seemed hellbent on smearing Bernie).
  20. Let me be clear, I'm 100% for throwing people in gulags if they refuse re-education. What side do you want to be on @workswithseed ?
  21. Yes, in Canada doctors literally refuse to see patients for months knowing they have cancer. That is 100% how it works, the libertarian think-tank told me so!
  22. Hey look, factual data that says this happens! https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2018/03/26/poll-44-of-americans-skip-doctor-visits-due-to-cost/#559e848b6f57 https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/29/over-half-of-americans-delay-health-care-becasue-they-cant-afford-it.html https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/03/15/520110742/as-drug-costs-soar-people-delay-or-skip-cancer-treatments
  23. * Some poor person who makes just enough to not qualify for Medicaid, on his deathbed because he was too worried about the cost for his family to go to a doctor which could have diagnosed him early for cancer * * Enter hornhorn, a big smart boy with math skills holding a copy of Atlas Shrugged * Hornhorn: That's just the way it works, sorry dude. Do you even math bro?
  24. If you just can't bring yourself to guarantee healthcare to all Americans because you're that worried about cost, inefficiencies, etc then you are not the voter we're trying to reach. Go take your ball, bitch on the internet, and vote for Trump or Gary Johnson again and smell your farts because you're a smart big boy.
