Haha this is too true.It's like how every movie discusses devolves to talking about TLJ.
That should be a question at the debate/townhall:
"What are your thoughts on The Last Jedi?"

literally in the post you were responding to, i said "You'd have to be almost embarrassingly out of tune with current discourse to think Sanders has been perceived as doing poorly in recent town halls, with the obvious exception of the one held today. "
This would form a black hole of ideas that would make discourse all but impossible until the end of humanity.That should be a question at the debate/townhall:

I don't even know what point you are trying to make because you are contradicting yourself saying he did badly, but then saying I'm out of tune when I said he did badly, so I'm done with this conversation.literally in the post you are responding to, i said "You'd have to be almost embarrassingly out of tune with current discourse to think Sanders has been perceived as doing poorly in recent town halls, with the obvious exception of the one held today.

are you really trying to say there was fair cause for uncertainty about my opinion of Sander's performance today?
you're really not helping the case that you're a rational observer of all this
People care more about being "right" and beating whatever minor factions of the party they don't like into submission than kicking out the fascistsThis thread seems to be getting increasingly petty. In the larger scheme, we're all on the same team aren't we?
I don't either. Sure Bernie and Warren are my first and second choices but I'd pretty happy for anybody that's in the Democratic primary to be president and not Donald Trump.People care more about being "right" and beating whatever minor factions of the party they don't like into submission than kicking out the fascists
I don't get how anyone has the energy for this shit after the past two years.

I'm gravitating towards Bernie because I think we need to try something different and I think, just going with my gut people will find him to be the most authentic or offer the most "change" which I think we'll need in swing statesI don't either. Sure Bernie and Warren are my first and second choices but I'd pretty happy for anybody that's in the Democratic primary to be president and not Donald Trump.
Democrats can be right wing you know. I can understand why people like Warren since she's proposing substantial left wing policy, but Bernie seems to tie together a big number of grievances people have with the Democratic Party.
If it was, Bernie would be super buffDid they commission this from the same artist who drew all those Russian Facebook memes? Looks like the same art style lol
Can't lose the primary if you never announce *taps temple*
gives new meaning to 'bernie or bust'
Depends what country's standards we're judging from.

"I have a hard time seeing the coalition ultimately coming together there," the South Bend, Ind., mayor told The New York Times.
Sanders's campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, pushed back on Buttigieg's assertion, touting Sanders's record of fighting for the working class as the reason he will be able to win in 2020.
At times, Sanders's strategists actually seem to be leaning into the strategy of being a factional candidate. The Sanders campaign may have all kinds of reasons to feel aggrieved by how the party establishment has treated it, especially when it reads articles like the one in The New York Times that suggest the establishment is out to get it again! Nonetheless, the campaign hasn't sought to mend fences when conflicts have arisen this year. Instead, Sanders aides told The Atlantic's Edward-Isaac Dovere that they think they can win the nomination with as little as a 30 percent plurality of delegates. That's a risky strategy since it would necessarily entail a contested convention, where party insiders would play an outsized role. Nor would Sanders, a 77-year-old white man, reflect the various constituencies of the Democratic Party (and the demographics of the delegates themselves) as well as someone like Harris might.
He's counting on winning Iowa and New Hampshire, where he was already surprisingly strong in 2016, and hoping that Cory Booker and Kamala Harris will split the black electorate in South Carolina and give him a path to slip through there, too. And then, Sanders aides believe, he'll easily win enough delegates to put him into contention at the convention. They say they don't need him to get more than 30 percent to make that happen.
Fixed that for youEssentially, there's a real possibility that literally any candidate could struggle putting together a coalition, and in a divided field with lots of candidates, his goal may simply be trying to get enough to put him into contest at the convention.
I've thought for some time now that Sanders' best chance is to win the same way Trump did - solidify a loyal base who will stick with him through thick and thin, and rack up delegates while everyone else splits the vote around them. The problem is that the Dems do proportional instead of winner-take-all allocation, so it would end up being a drawn out fight that leads to a contested convention if enough candidates remain in the race after Super Tuesday so that no one person becomes the anti-Sanders.
Wake me up when we get back to discussing what really matters, polling numbers.
RE: this article https://thehill.com/homenews/campai...ys-he-doubts-sanders-can-win-general-election
Taking what Pete said about coalition forming, I think Sanders would probably have a harder time securing a coalition to get out of the primary than the general.
I am going to say though, that, applying this to the primary, they could both be right here. Sanders could struggle to form a coalition, and Sanders could still win the primary regardless.
Pulling from an article from 538 recently: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bernie-sanders-can-win-but-he-isnt-polling-like-a-favorite/

Had to put it in a tweet to see, and yep it sounds exactly like something Trump would say lol
He did fine. He just did a poor job of directly answering one of the questions.Why am I not surprised that Bernie did much better in that forum than what people on the internet were suggesting. Lots of vocal support in the audience.
Wow lol
