So that’s a yes? I gotta admit you’ve been a very disappointing Glaucon.
But srsly, I said upfront I was gonna post all that regardless if somebody here was actively taking the other side, so if you feel some or most of it doesn’t specifically apply to you then fine, I agree.
#NotAllBernieBros but leaning towards that idea in the comments to AOC’s post that some Bernie Bros are incels who don’t need much of a reason to turn on a woman. Does Bernie have a younger white male surrogate who these guys can attach themselves to after Bernie’s time has passed?
Honestly at this point I think it’s just important to recognize people REALLY hated Hillary. Hard to see another reason why Bernie is doing so much worse this time around.
People here insulting Warren for the clip on SNL really have no clue. They are so toxic and far gone, unfortunately there seem to be growing in number.
It’s not criticising the clip in a vacuum. It’s just a little tone deaf in the context of millions of people literally fighting for their right to not die in a world where she could be making a huge positive difference but isn’t. Doing a funny dance isn’t a problem, doing a funny dance while people die is.
Much of this is also the 4 years of incessant omg scary socialism and Bernie can’t win bc of scary socialism. The electorate was taught to hate and fear Hillary and the same approach was used to a different target this time around.
Cliffs: the American electorate is biblically stupid
Re: socialism fearmongering, it’s way more than four years, it’s like two generations of “omg scary socialism.” Basically everyone older than their thirties grew up with a constant drumbeat of socialism is scary/evil. That’s hard to overcome.
