@skydiver8 Choice? Like healthcare insurance choiceā¦
Yeah but if everyone raised money like Bernie does, theyād have to be accountable to their constituents.
Sent Bernie another donation last night. Hope he can break his 5 million donation target. The last two weeks have caused my hope to rise slightly. Hopefully Iowa will come through.
I would like to send a donation to Bernie but Iām a UK residentā¦If thereās a way I can send $18 let me know in a pm please.
Appreciate the sentiment but Iām not sure we should be arranging straw donations here.
I talked a non-voter/3rd party/hates the Dās and Rās guy into considering Bernie yesterday - a guy who lives in Wisconsin!
Thanks for thisā¦ I appreciate the response and will take this advice.
Bernie is now 65k donations away from 5 million. Hope is rising.
Another horrifying see of State polls out for Florida and Virginia. Only Biden beating Trump in either State. Others easily losing. Wtf? Virginia?
VA is an unlikely dem loss. (though theyāre kinda sunk if they lose VA, domino effect would lose a lot more than that) FL is probably Trump win though regardless of candidate. So many olds down there.
Some people on twitter are starting to learn midterms donāt mean shit for the next presidential election though. Thereās enough people that like divided govāt and things havenāt literally gone to hell like some expected.
Saw a graph that was interesting to probably only meābasically in LA/MS/AL Rās canāt gain anymore than they have right now as rural areas are all tapped out for them. Somewhere, far in the future, theyāre in trouble in those three states if the cities keep gaining people on them. In other words in at some point, Dās will have the south, Rās will have the north. The more things change, the more they cycle back.
The way I see it, Iād be thrilled with either UBI or M4A. I wouldnāt expect to get both in one term, and realistically I donāt see how one candidate would be able to promise both.
I think M4A would be the better thing to have, though. For most people 1k/mo would be more than enough to pay for their insurance, but insurance coās might just triple their prices knowing that everyone can afford more. And if UBI replaces welfare, poor people wouldnāt get to use much of their UBI checks to pay for insurance.
Sent Daddy some money
Shipped some to our savior!
I didnāt donate today but I gave Warren $150 this month.
LOL @ thinking Biden can win Florida, no fucking way. Donāt get me wrong, Bernie would have to put in a lot of work to win this state but Biden sure as hell wonāt happen.
I feel pretty strongly thereās so many olds that biden certainly has a lot better chance in FL than bernie. Rās obviously favored to win FL in either rate. ( al ot of models say even, but models arenāt accounting for a fuck ton of old people)
The general idea is that a lot of times presidents lose midterms but win re-election. Thereās a non insignificant number who like divided govāt and all that.
Also with devils advocate Hillary had (a mistake of course, she played it safe when she didnāt realize that many people just made up their minds last second and they swung hard against her) a VA senator as VP choice as well, couldāve been the reason she didnāt lose that state in 16 too.
(Iām not one of the doubters on VA here, I think dem wins pretty easily though (except for the one I think might not even win pop vote HU vs trump))
Also, donāt forget that a lot of the folks who turned VA purple/blue are socially liberal folks who work in the lobbying and govāt contracting industries. If Bernie and Warren can actually implement their agendas, itāll come for their walletsā¦
