kind of goes without saying, no?
Thinking you actually meant something by āwhat are you smokingā is reading between the lines. Obviously you literally wanted to know what cuse is inhaling into his lungs right now. Got it.

When I say āwhat are you smoking?ā Iām saying you must be high if you think I would make a bet on that. Did you read between those lines?
Wasnāt your original take that HRC would get less votes than Bloomberg if she ran?
She almost lost last time after literally rigging the entire process in her own favor.

tomorrow is the last day to qualify for next weekās debate, but thereās no drama. No one is close to becoming the last-second 11th person to qualify.
In a related note, looking at Wikipedia I noticed Bernie met the donation qualification for the 6th debate on February 20 - the day after he announced he was running for president. Boss.

Iām willing to bet if she runs Sanders and wins the nomination and it wonāt even be close 
God I hope sheās dumb enough to
If Iām not mistaken, the mere mention of Clinton throwing her hat into the ring has already bolstered support for Gabbard, which just goes to show what Iāve been saying all alongā¦ Electing an non centrist anti-establishment candidate is more important to the people than electing another status quo Dem
Would the people prefer an anti-establishment candidate with centrist policy preferences or a status quo Democrat with strong progressive policy credentials?
I get gabbard as an anti-establishment candidate with centrist sensibilities, but who is the status quo Democrat with progressive policy credentials? Barbara Lee? Thatād be cool.
Be more specific on her centrist policy preferences. I do not consider a non interventionist philosophy and coming out in favor of net neutrality in order to protect freedom of speech as being a centrist. Sheās for gun control including banning assault rifles and is in favor of the Green New Deal. Explain how sheās any more a centrist than HRC, Mayor Pete, or the billionaire candidates for me
Me? You responded to NotBruce.
But anyway, sheās been in Congress long enough to have a voting record. Progressive groups rate people in Congress. Tulsi is center-right for Dems.
Just like with HRC, voting record is more important than whatās on your website or in your stump speech.
I think itās very important this next election makes a huge statement. It canāt be about compromise and working across the aisle. This needs to be an all out political revolution imo

I did sorry. The above post is in response to you. I donāt have all the answers. I just know that we are running out of time and need sweeping unprecedented change in our political system. This working across the aisle wonāt cut it
I was undecided between the Poor Media Outlets thread and this one for a bit.
It should probably go in both. The bias in media is both important and disturbingly harmful. Iām not sure how much it effects those of my generation. Many of us have already learned to discount much of it. But I think it has a much higher impact on boomers because they assume theyāre watching, listening, or reading unbiased news and reporting because thatās the way it used to be. Itās what happens when just a handful of entities gain control of most media outlets. Itās a huge problem
