Any one else pumped for Joe to speak tonight? Can’t wait for him to inspire the nation!
The poll I cited is pretty different. We end up in the same place with respect to what Bernie needs so whatever.
Her base is about as big as the nevertrump conservative base. As in it’s tiny. So it doesn’t matter whether she would be a better president cause she can’t win
Good, good. Long time coming.
Then you’d always get President Bloomberg or whoever can blanket the whole nation in ads. Going state by state is supposed to make money less of a factor.

Yang just endorsed Biden
I had assumed he was just being a troll heh but maybe he’s really gonna try running for something else soon.

Bloomberg had a great shot if it had it all been at once. He was right there in several states in polling until the late drop outs but he had been concentrating his ads rather than massive spam everywhere (outside of youtube, though I don’t know why he thought that was such a good idea).
btw, there’s a few positives for Bernie here, his overall base of support has increased a little from four years ago and he won California (a state he did not win four years ago) and he’s doing better among latinos. There is a little growth here. He’s even up with all other minorities too in comparison.

It’s done man.
I know, but just trying to help the people disappointed feel even very slightly better even if half the forum probably has me on ignore at this point.
If roles were reversed I say alright, well I think bernie won’t overcome his issues in the general election like this forum thinks biden won’t but you win so let’s try to get him elected–instead people are already proclaiming they will enjoy my tears, as if I’m an emotional snowflake like they are I guess. I’m not an all or nothing type like sadly, too many here seem to be.

sigh
and so my literal last choice (of the real candidates. I don’t count Tulsi or even Bloomberg in that) is who people chose.
Not gonna lie, even though I’m not in the Bernie cult, I’m still pissed of right now. Let me list who I am pissed at, in no particular order.
- The media/pundits
- Bloomberg
- Biden
- Bernie
- Warren
- Whoever advised Biden to run
- Whoever advised Bernie to run
- voters who try to be pundits (I don’t think America will vote for ____)
- The Iowa democratic party
- Regina Preston Williams
- Pete
- All of the mayors who loved Pete so much when they worked with him and were so inspired by him that they felt they had to endorse Bloomberg for president
- Clyburn. Shoulda listened to your grandson, old man.
- Debate audiences
- debate moderators
- Toilet paper hoarders, because fuck them (and now we’re out and cant find more because we didn’t jump on the crazy TP train)
I’m sure there’s more, but for now, it’s time to flip the senate and take back more spots in local and state governments. Let’s get to work.

I’d rather have Tulsi. Not joking.
Seriously, Gen-X ought to be taking the reins of power right now and where are my young, dynamic guys? Paul Ryan and Mayo Pete? Right now the entire ruled by 70-somethings like Biden, Trump, McConnell, and Pelosi and when they croak it’s going to leapfrog over to #TheSquad and Ivanka Trump. Completely useless generation that I’m a member of.

Biden is running a campaign (more sleepwalking tbh) to the right of Andrew Scheer/Boris Johnson of recent Canadian/UK elections. Your democratic candidate is further to the right of the conservative candidate in recent ally elections. And he’s senile! There’s nothing good about this.
leading off by calling it the Bernie cult and then being more pissed at Bernie than Warren. get your head examined. i have pete above all of those for concern trolling M4A

To her credit, she did say it was in no particular order.

The proper method would be to base it on previous election results and take the 10 states that were the closest, split them into 2-3 groups, try to get some diversity in terms of region and demographics, and line them up that way.
It would have been something like: Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, Maine (didn’t do the exact math with the way it’s split up w/ districts).
I’d probably go with Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire first.
Next up I’d do Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina.
Then I’d do Florida, Minnesota, Maine.
Something along those lines has to be GTO primary schedule strategy. Oh, and I’d also give the states with the smallest margins in the previous election extra delegates, too.
No troll, I kind of feel the country will be better if the Democratic party dies and is replaced by something that breaks the current ‘left is socially progressive, economically moderate/conservative’ dynamic. They really just can’t win like this in my opinion and 3 parties is not an option with the current system. The coalition is dead in my opinion. There’s no reason for progressives to vote for this shit.
I like having it as they do now where the first few states are small, because you want busto upstart candidates to be able to afford to compete. Putting aside opinions on him, a no-name candidate like Pete Buttigieg only had the small chance of success that he did because he was able to personally reach a good percentage of Iowa voters in some form and could afford to run ads in the state.
