MSNBC realizing that they can't stop Sanders so it's either bend the knee or be complicit in a second Trump term. One is pleased to see it.
Same shit trump morons did 4 years ago. Bullshit Boomer memes. I mean Bloomberg is pretty much trump 2.0 so it makes sense.
It's funny, I was listening to the Bloomberg audio and decided to torture myself a little less by turning on Hardball for the first time in a year or two, and it immediately paid off. lol
Clinton also had a decades long smear campaign working directly against her. So any mistakes or bad judgements she made were easily able to be amplified. Add in the sexism part of it too.
I'm thinking it'll be a little harder to try to paint a Jewish man as a Nazi sympathizer among reasonable people. It's certainly a bold strategy.
The email server was the death of Clinton. Fox News wasn't the problem, the problem was the decision was not defensible and had no good answer.
There was no way for Clinton to not look like she was trying to hide something with the private email server. It doesn't matter what the DoJ or FBI finds, people are going to consistently ask why do you need to have your own server in the first place.
And it is an entirely fair question. I believe the answer was that she's old as fuck and refused to ditch her Blackberry. But that's a totally unsatisfying answer that people can't really sympathise with, Blackberries were already out and iPhones were in.
I mean, we overspend on the military, plus even military spending comes nowhere close to the amount of add'l spending Bernie wants to do. Which is fine, but this is idea that Bernie can pay for everything without taxes going up for middle class people.
I'm even OK with extra deficit spending, but guess what, if you're middle class in Denmark or even Germany, you pay more taxes than somebody middle class in America.
Of course, if you were a cynical leftist, you pass M4A without paying for it, then come back to the American people in four years, and say, "we need to raise taxes or you pay premiums again."
i dont know. i have no idea. like ive said i think he's right about it completely but there's always tidier ways to package political ideas and you can bet theyre working on it for the debate tomorrow
So this is why my old "both sides!" "Alt-Left!" co-worker loves Bloomberg...
Who is making these pathetic tweets and how do I steal their job? Mike DM me I can meme you to the presidency.
Bruh...
Fuck this dude.
Good on him, it was needed. MSNBC is going a bit crazy but let's not shit the bed and go full fox news.
How do we convince Bloomberg to make "This is my united states of whatever" his campaign theme song
Or maybe Polysics' I My Me Mine
This is my main problem with most of the rising left wing intelligistia largely focused in Brooklyn. Way too many people friendly with grifters like Tulsi, Cenk, and the other people in the movement are who are just assholes. Which is probably why Bernie's actual campaign out in the field and campaign manager is good, while other spots at the top of his campaign is filled with dumbasses.
Exactly.
One of the huge attacks against Clinton over the years was that you could not trust that family with their connections with lobbyists. They did nothing to dodge those accusations between the fund raisers, photo ops and paid appearances. Everyone and their dog knew this because the media talked about this constantly.
The whole email server nailed the coffin shut. Why do you have a private email server? What corruption were you trying to hide? The email server was so enduring because Clinton had no good reason why she broke ranks from everyone else in the cabinet. It was an open ended controversy goldmine.
This image of corruption looks like shit no matter what part of the political spectrum you're on.
"Congrats to you senator Sanders, and to your supporters on a tremendous win down in Nevada"
Replies to this and other postings of this clip are making me a little sick tbh. Everyone needs to chill with the "bend the knee" shit.
The schadenfreude gets a little insufferable around here sometimes, but in this case Matthews brought it on himself.
Matthews compares Bernie and his supporters to Nazis: I sleep
People on the internet quoting Game Of Thrones: REAL SHIT
i'm getting the feeling he got into the race to get the spotlight to smear other democratic to make it easier for his fellow republicans to win, thus preserving the status quo so lucrative for billionaires like him
Matthews fucked up extraordinarily, and has in particular lead an onslaught of hysteria around Sanders and it's completely fucking ridiculous. He deserves ridicule for it and I took part in that myself, but idk. Just take the win and move on.
That was always the goal. Well, he wanted to win. But since he probably can't win, since he's a piece of shit and isn't even good at being Trump-like, he's going to go for the next best thing.
Nevada Predictions Wrapup, SC Primary Preliminaries

Firstly! Some in-thread housekeeping.
The 468 voters' for Sanders were proven correct, as he swept the state. Sorry to our iPad enthusiasts and Andrew Yang, but it seems that the robot uprising has been delayed once again. Damn meatbags.
Now, SC! Here's what the OP has to say about the first southern contest:
Next poll going up now. Stay tuned for a thread policy update.

I used to watch a lot of MSNBC in the Bush days so I still have a soft spot for him, lol. He's a big buffoon who tends to get high on his own supply, but he's not the enemy.
A very good article worth reading and something I posted here before and wish would be brought up more on TV.
Like, just yesterday Van Jones was drawing comparisons to 1972 to illustrate electibility issues of a progressive nominee. Something that happened 50 years ago!!!
But they never bring up electibility issues of modarate candidates, which could be witnessed just 4 years ago

I'd say it's kind of a wonder that the news media almost never played this up with the guy who had a TV series, buildings with his name on them in New Jersey and New York, and regularly palled around with this apparently corrupt official, but I guess his overt racism got the media too horny
They did, I believe the problem was that they trusted Trump more because his conflicts of interests were at least in the open for everyone to see. People felt Clinton's corruption was way more nefarious.
I don't agree but Clinton did herself no favours in a lot of ways.
There's still hope for us iPaders with Pete's challenge!
Voting Bernie in the thread poll for the underdog come-from-behind upset win, let's go baby! Fingers crossed the efforts on the ground there are enough to close the small gap between him and Biden.
Yes, and we feel pretty great about it
