Democratic Primary Debates

Somehow my Joe Rogan fan buddy likes Bloomberg. Ugh. I tried talking some sense into him then he said Tulsi is the only other candidate he likes. I had to walk that one off for a bit.

The Tulsi-Bloomberg double is incredible.

That makes Warren-Pete-Bernie look reasonable.

Tulsi and bloomberg are the two least ā€œwokeā€ candidates. Does your friend hate SJWs?

No heā€™s pretty low info. He hates Trump.

Just been thinking about you brother and wanted to plug this book. In an odd way it helped me see myself as worthy of treatment by helping see myself through the eyes of someone who loves me but doesnā€™t know what to do. Hang in there. You are 100% that Wich.

Tulsi - Bloomberg is a new one. Any idea why he likes Bloomberg? Itā€™s probably because he saw an ad for him or something.

The PTSD diagnosis is kind of odd as I have lived a relatively trauma free life to be fully honest. I have been thinking about it some and it may be withdrawal from alcohol. And sleep paralysis is something I have read about and sounds like it has some similarities.

It seems to have no correlation to anything other than if I have been drinking I never have the waking dream/dying thing. If I havenā€™t it happens almost every night. I havenā€™t gone a week without drinking in probably at least 15 years. I have successfully managed to cut back significantly over the last couple of years but not completely.

Anyways I appreciate the kind words and I probably do need to go talk to someone. Iā€™ve tried it a couple of times with limited benefit although maybe just didnā€™t find the right person.

Heā€™s from Long Island. Thought Bloomberg was a good mayor. Thinks we need a businessman to beat Trump for some weird reason.

Tomorrow is basically the most important debate of the primary. There isnā€™t another one until like two weeks after Super Tuesday.

I think the important question is how does bernie respond to the attacks. Laugh them off as the total joke they are or go HAM at bloomberg?

Mayor bloomberg seems to think that mentioning any positives about a situation means endorsing that entire situation. Does that mean that in 2013 when he presented convicted rapist harvey weinstein with an award that he supports the rapes that weinstein committed? Does it mean that when he said in 2016 that he loved donald trump that he supports every evil and destructive policy of the trump administration? He is listed in convicted pedophile Jeffery Epsteinā€™s little black book does that mean that he is in favour of what epstein did? I think this primary should be about ideas not smears. I want to bring healthcare to millions of americans [hit stump speech].

Unfortunately I donā€™t think Bernie will go negative. Which idk might be good, Iā€™m sure for a lot of people everyone attacking Bernie will rub them wrong. Even none Bernie supporters. Lots of normal people are starting to get woke to how horribly biased the media is towards him and how shook the establishment dems are.

Only thing Iā€™m worried about is Warren. Iā€™m sure her people told her the only way she can win is if she takes out Bernie. She might be able to hurt him enough that he doesnā€™t crush as hard as he should to make it impossible for the eDems to steal it from him. That probably locks up a Trump victory though because at this point nobody is gonna be able to get more votes than Bernie, and them taking it from the guy with the most votes, even if its close, is gonna cause most of these new voters and even some regular dems to stay home.

We w ill see if Warren is about the progressive movement and defeating Trump or about herself. Iā€™ve defended Warren a lot but I donā€™t think Iā€™m gonna like the answer.

The only way Warren can win is to be the compromise non Bernie pick at a contested convention. That only works if sheā€™s palatable to Bernie supporters. She shouldnā€™t say another negative thing about Bernie for the rest of this cycle.

I think Bernie should offer her any job she wants if she bodies mini Mike over and over.

Gotta stop him from running away with this thing first. Her only going after the other moderates helps him do that.

She doesnā€™t need to help with thatā€¦ In fact her job is to make herself as palatable as possible to Bernie people so she can benefit from the moderates attacks on Bernie.

Well I definitely hope youā€™re right. Because to me it seems like the moderates attacks on Bernie donā€™t land even a fucking little and they have little to no hope of stopping him.

But she could benefit from the bloomberg massive negative ad campaign. I donā€™t think thats gonna land either though.

Yeah thatā€™s basically all her remaining outs. Her attacks on Bernie havenā€™t worked well either.

Attacking Bernie is really hard, though. Thanks to 20 years of propaganda, ZOMG SOCIALISM just doesnā€™t land, at all. So youā€™re left with ā€œhe has 3 housesā€ and ā€œhow you gonna pay for it.ā€ Both losers.

The boy who cried wolfā€¦

If the socialism thing starts to land I think Bernie can easily give a speech defusing it. He can be like ā€œhereā€™s the thing, I say socialism because people calling themselves ā€˜progressivesā€™ or ā€˜liberalsā€™ presided over NAFTA, over Wall Street screwing us all in the financial crisis, etc. I say I am a socialist because I fight for working people and those people donā€™t. Please to explain what I have actually been wrong about in the past 25 yearsā€. Thereā€™s not really any answer to that.
