Yeah though unlike what his campign didn't do in 2018, devote a good amount/focus on Latino outreach

Cosigned. It was inevitable that the primary fight would get uglier the further we got into the primaries; these candidates are opponents all competing for the nomination. That doesn't mean we (primary voters, supporters of various candidates) should be ugly towards each other. Or go round and round on conspiracy theories about why someone's really in the race, or why a former candidate really endorsed another, or who's really a Democrat.
Figured I’d check one more time with the Era group before I drive off to the polling place.
I mean, maybe Europe should be focused on keeping your own alt-right from jumping in power.
I am tired of this "America is sooo regressive" trope when LePenn, Wilders, Brexit are all in the middle of a massive spike in popularity and the German coalition is edging further and further right.
I mean, right now most of the large European economies (France, Germany, England) have a center-right (or worse) candidate in charge.
America has it's fucking share of issues (Trump, healthcare, waves generally at foreign policy) but we aren't some backwater living in isolation. The whole fucking world is going through a strong lurch right.
From exit polls I see people want M4A which is good for Bernie, and a lot of people decided in the last few days which could mean anything.
Super Tuesday is a really big day, why does this have to be another conspiracy and no just someone who's working too fast fucking up? I swear the persecution complex some people have is unhealthy.
Don't try to kid yourself, decided in last few days means "the tv people told me to vote for biden so I'm voting for biden"
i really wish that the primary voting was just all on one day. months and months of drawing it out is just so tedious and nerve wracking. just do it all at once. if it works for the general why can’t it work for this
So much of today on Facebook is pissing me off, nothing but « practical » We need to Rally behind Joe! posts with the occasional Bernie or Warren supporter holding onto hope
Progress in a country as diverse and divisive as the US is going to be slow. That's just how it is. One of the two parties is still pissed off about a law that passed 50 fucking years ago...
We can hope for more radical change. That's what Obama in '08 was all about...but that hope can quickly turn to disillusion as the reality sets in.
Progress is progress though, and I'll take that any day over the regressive bullshit the GOP are constantly pushing.

All of those countries already have free universal health care, so the other poster is right regardless of current political troubles in Europe.
bruh decided in the last few days means after Biden's big win in SC where he also won over people who want M4A
yeah it kinda sucks sometimes not really getting much of a say in things because the narrative is decided with like 3 or 4 states.
Been lurking here, and whether Bernie does well or not, maybe you should unplug for a bit. I’ve noticed you’ve been pessimistic today (and I feel you there for sure), and taking your mind off things may be a big help. Now’s a great time before results start coming in.
Its the future and its silly to continue fighting it.
Even if we don't get M4A this cycle the support is clearly gonna continue building
Do they also randomize which side the favourable and unfavourable is on?
Yeah it's always an intern, we're working too hard, what do you expect??? It's just a coincidence that it was just Bernie's colors that got swapped!
Cause an infographic like that you literally just copy and change the numbers. To change the words you literally have to jump in intentionally.
It's not a persecution complex. It either has to be intentional or someone is trolling.
It's a mistake that happens all the time when it comes to Bernie.
It's almost like there's ample evidence the mainstream media doesn't want one candidate to win and multiple candidates just dropped out the night before super Tuesday because the democratic establishment also doesn't want that candidate to win.
It's kind of sad that Bernie having the largest number of donors in modern history's already being forget about because people want to so badly believe the narrative big money interests create that ultimately only favours a never small group of people.
Yeah it's just coincidence that the fuck ups tend to make the same person look bad.
Europe having its own alt right troubles doesn’t mean we aren’t regressive as fuck for a “developed” country.
The arguement for why the primary is staggered is:
1) Back in the day national media was limited in scope and local papers were more important.
2) Travel was hard, and getting into early states to begin the process of coalescing around candidates was important.
3) Cost for running would be high and prohibitive for many candidates.
4) Politics was more regional and parties were more diverse so early states were there to help winnow the field.
In 2020 with national coverage millions of debates and all of the constant coverage tells me that we should just have a national primary day.
It's also bullshit that 4 early states basically set the tone for who will be "viable", and post Super-Tuesday states are effectively just there in the event that things are actually close and winnable.
Especially with the Dem party not doing winner-take-all primaries you run into situations like 2008 and 2016 where one candidate can build a virtually unassailable lead early, which leads to extreme frustration from the runner up camp and supporters because it's tilting at windmills for another 3 months until the deed is actually done, but has "effectively" been settled already.
How do changing colors make him look bad? That's why I'm leaning towards an error instead of sabotage.
Lol it’s MSNBC and working too fast would mean “not changing colors at all”
Yes
it was a meme about the voting machine that had sanders on the second page and people were saying it was just a randomized list
Just to be clear on M4A polling:
But:
Consensus is: most people just want something, they don't care what.
Nah, that's centrism. Conservatism is fighting the present and trying to drag us back to the past.
I mean, thats possible. But after years of Fox News pulling similar stunts (and with similar excuses) and MSNBC melting down about Bernie when there was a chance Bernie could win the nomination doesn't make me feel charitable that this was an honest mistake.
Wtf, young people? I don’t fucking understand. This is literally your fucking future. Go vote. Smh
What is the purpose of having the different colours for favorable/unfavorable?
