Yeah I was refering to the general voting populace.
After Trump won in with a campaign based on racism, bigotry, sexism and general awfulness, my faith in the US voters has been shattered.

After Trump won in with a campaign based on racism, bigotry, sexism and general awfulness, my faith in the US voters has been shattered.
Nearly everyone on the internet in 2019 is either irony-poisoned or sincerity-poisoned to some degree, with very few in between. This site is generally a magnet for the latter.
If the Presidential votes in 2030 play out the way the House popular vote in 2018 did, Trump loses. Wisconsin appears to be the median swing state.
You're discrediting good political positions because someone is old and god forbid he passed in office, I'd rather he do that and pass a legacy of sound policy to the next generation, than died as a senator.
A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.
My 6 year old wouldn't eat her broccoli after seeing Bernie sew division in the Dem primary. She looked at me and said "Daddy, Kamala Harris had no choice but to uphold our broken criminal justice system." I couldn't bear to see the tears in her eyes.
You know that black people like Clarence Thomas and Herman Cain and gay people like Milo and women like Jan Brewer and Mary Fallin exist, right?
Eh, she was on two episodes in quick succession two years ago when people were really trying to understand what the deal with the alt-right was. She has only proved herself to be a simplistic reactionary identity politics goon who was consumed by staring into the Alt-right Jordan Peterson void in the time since, and I highly doubt she will ever be back on. The hosts don't seem to agree with her or take her seriously.
All of the threads on the chapo reddit are about how she sucks, so it's not like the show's fanbase was swept up by her bad ideas either
I really doubt he'll get the nomination with Harris running.
Here's hoping she runs a tough as balls campaign.

Whatever indeed. Bernie's deficit among minority voters, participating in an ultra competitive field and his constant ignorance when it comes to socioeconomic policies that will lift subjugated people upwards will ensure he has a less than zero chance at getting the Democratic nomination.
The only thing that worries me are his regressive supporters, their mindset on particular social/race issues and disdain for segments of the population who vehemently oppose Bernie ensuring the Butternut Squash gets reelected because they can't fathom him not appealing to everyone else as much as he does to them.

i mean, his dedication to social justice should be made apparent by the fact that he has been an advocate of social justice for decades, vocally stood up for ilhan omar when whites were clamoring for her head (due to her being a black, muslim woman), and by the fact that the quote in question strongly resembles a famous MLK speech in its content
but you do you, i guess
I was for Bernie in 2016, but we have much better women candidates now. It's time for a woman.
Have you seen him run though?
sorry, not sorry
He's running.
After 2016, the Midwest will be taken a lot more seriously. Florida Florida Florida is still a key swing state, but Trump would have won 2016 even without Florida. It was the midwest that won it for him, and the dem nom needs to spend more than half their time up there campaigning imo. If time is an unchanged variable, spend more in the Midwest and less in Florida
Mind showing me where I discredited his political positions? Because I most certainly didn't do that. If this is your explanation for calling my comment "superficial mudslinging" it's pretty lacking and hinges on a false assumption.
Saying his age is a factor, which it is, is a critique of his viability as a Presidential candidate and has absolutely nothing to do with his political positions or policies.
OP
OP
There's a context to him saying that today and it's not him talking about Herman Cain or Jan fucking Brewer. It's him QQing and trying to equate age with racism and sexism in his case, which is laughable. He's also possibly implying people might support Kampala or Corey or someone because of their color.
It's really fucking tone deaf from a white guy.
its embarrassing that this needed to be learned in the first place, we got kavanaugh for 30 years because of this fuckup
She probably won't endorse anyone until riiiiiiight before the primary is won so most of the candidates will shift left to fight for it.
I have issues with Bernie. If he wins the primaries, I'll still vote for him. Until then, without primary voting results, no one really has a clue what's going to happen.
Exactly. People were out their loose with no class consciousness in mind. They just wanted their team to win, havenots be damned. Centre-right doesn't work for everyone and is unappealing after we survived that recession.
The truth hurts. There's a reason his primary '16 opponents swaggerjacked his platform and the entire Democratic Party was playing catch up. An outsider literally had to come in and G-check the Democratic Party. Now Bernie's platform is the default, we were right all along kicko.
Even if Bernie loses the primary, he wins.
Jesus fuck.....And people wonder why Bernie supporters have a terrible reputation.
Goddamn that was an amazing week to be on Twitter.
Show me the lie.
Everyone running for office right now just suddenly decided to support M4A thanks to a collective come-to-god moment?
You're completely delusional if you think this isn't true.
edit: to be clear, that Bernie didn't essentially establish the template for the 2020 democratic candidate.
The world is actually pretty simple, but I enjoy your attempt to talk down to me, your goofball.
Bernie needs to step aside and maybe gain some perspective, especially on racial issues. He is going to cause as much or more trouble than he did last time with his shenanigans.
Bernie or bust jokers are just as much to blame.
I mean Dems have been pretty much wanting universal health care in some form for decades now so i don't see giving Bernie complete credit here
