It's today
*hydropilic attack posted this while quietly brushing Sander's heart attack underneath the rug*let's say you are all right and the (to most people) readily apparent truth of biden's early dementia is just a conspiracy theory
if the last election taught us anything, it was that a candidate vulnerable to republican conspiracy theories is a big liability in the general election
can you really risk running someone so easy to make up false narratives about?
I mean you can literally make up BS about anybody at any time. I don't even understand this argument. If everyone signal boosted Bernie having dementia because he just repeats the exact same speech literally everytime he talks, is that an argument that he shouldn't even be considered a candidate?let's say you are all right and the (to most people) readily apparent truth of biden's early dementia is just a conspiracy theory

Kinda feel like you wouldn't be saying this if this thread was full of people calling Sanders a communist days away from a lethal heart attack.

Are you... this aren't equivalent at all. Do you know why?
Because Sanders showed symptoms and went to a doctor.
Can we just stop with the Biden is mentally declining stuff? It's clear that most voters don't give two shits about his mental acuity or even his ability to actually be able to do anything once he's in office. Democrats right now would nominate a pile of dog shit if they thought it had the best chance at beating Trump. The truth is that whatever is going on with Biden it's inconsequential to his viability. So until Biden is 100% incoherent or has a stroke on live tv the whole discussion is moot anyways.
While the basis of Biden's so-called dementia are a bunch of doctored videos.Are you... this aren't equivalent at all. Do you know why?
Because Sanders showed symptoms, went to a doctor, and released the results of said assessments.
Can't keep donations flowing to pay overpaid staff if you admit you can't win.
Why is his staff overpayed?Can't keep donations flowing to pay overpaid staff if you admit you can't win.
You mean it was an actual diagnosed problem and not a dishonest attack narrative?
He hired a bunch of social media trolls to run his campaign and he got what he paid for.
I mean I would believe you if it weren't for the fact that he's currently winning the primary.The truth is that whatever is or isn't going on with Biden is absolutely relevant to his viability. 'Under he's incoherent' is a pretty terrible metric for the candidate being pushed to beat Trump.
Overpaid? How much should their pay be reduced, kirblar?Can't keep donations flowing to pay overpaid staff if you admit you can't win.
I will say- if Biden were literally brain dead, I would 1000% vote for him over Trump (and Gabbard). Hell, if he were literally dead, he'd still have my vote. And in the same vein, I would do the same for Sanders (under both circumstances).
Paying for people who are a net negative to your campaign is worse than not hiring them at all.
He pays a living wage per his idealsPaying for people who are a net negative to your campaign is worse than not hiring them at all.

What he paid for = a campaign that's standing toe to toe against the entire media apparatus.He hired a bunch of social media trolls to run his campaign and he got what he paid for.
What he's paid for: A campaign that's lost nearly a third of its voters relative to 2016.What he paid for = a campaign that's standing toe to toe against the entire media apparatus.
Sounds pretty good to me.
yep.
You have a former campaigner for Jill Stein and a speech writer that was fired in 1999 because he tried to weaponize white racism, and the candidate he was working for did not like that approach considering both him and his opponent were POC.
Did Sanders hire social media trolls or did he hire social media people and we are calling them trolls?

This would certainly explain so much of the current state of affairs here.What he paid for = a campaign that's standing toe to toe against the entire media apparatus.

Anything short of a time machine to prevent the M4A endorsement and have her angle run as the leftmost moderate option (not moderate at all but speaking the language of one) wouldn't have helped. Everyone who tried the "go left" strategy (learning the wrong lessons from 2016) ended up running out of oxygen due to not being able to peel off Bernie voters who weren't budging.Jesus. God knows what you think the Warren campaign should be paid.
it would seem the cat is out of the bag in terms of unnecessary shots taken at sanders staffers in this threadI don't think calling them trolls is helpful for discussion even if they do things we don't always like.

poor social media vetting and PPOs with a sketchy history are pretty common in electoral politics. Sanders' campaign is not nearly the outlier on this issue that it is painted as.
lol
Biden still has a muslim outreach coordinator with ties to Modi so the bad staff talk is pretty fucking rich
His outreach coordinator could be Fairuz herself, no one is forgetting about the drone strikes. Doesn't surprise me that they put in 0 effort.
The part about Biden that bothers me the most is that he knows that he has 0 good will among most minorities for past atrocities but that they have no other choice. When people attempt to hold him accountable, he doesn't justify or rationalize his actions, he taunts people with "then vote for Trump".
I think her voice dripping with sarcasm and her friends laughing as she was saying it were the giveaways that she may have been joking here. Still just a hypothesis though. Lab results should be in within the week."I have a compromised immune system, but I'm still only 21, but I'm not even worried because I take supplements and I self medicate." seems like what someone would say if they were trying to make fun of one of these people. But this isn't proof of much when you had people of all ages crowding OHare and Costcos.

That doesn't explain his favorables among a lot of those people, or people saying they trust him more than Sanders, even PoC.
In the Democratic electorate, 36% of the voters are nonwhite. 27% black, 7% latino, 2% non-white/black/latino.My understanding was that Muslims and Latinos broke for Bernie?
