The left are always the sole moral agents. The left must compromise and bend to the will of the rest of the political spectrum who are immovable and couldn't possibly be expected to compromise.
It's hard to imagine anyone being a registered rank-and-file Dem and also thinking "yes, billionaires are good, especially the ones that own cable news channels" even among the centrist sorts, so the numbers don't surprise me too much.
This matches the poll we had the first week of February, which also indicated Biden leading Sanders 28 to 20. If nothing else, it illustrates that the gap between Sanders and Biden down there isn't as huge as it once was.Biden's lead potentially shrinking in SC.

There's something to be said for being the adults in the room in certain contexts, but class diplomacy is just class war by other means
And now trump is fucking with the Flynn case. Holy fuck he can really get away with anything right now.
We must realize that corporate media will fight any real change in the status quo. They are run by billion dollar corporations managed by billionaire boards and couldn't give any less of a fuck about us.

It would be their biggest monkey paw and I would love itAIPAC when Bernie becomes the first Jewish U.S. President...
Imagine if a politician critiqued AIPAC for this type of horseshit and dozens of posters on here decided to shield them and attack the one critiquing them instead?
I can't fathom it. Good thing it would never happen.
Would be really nice if the US took Latin America at all seriously. I don't even want to imagine what your politicians think of Central/South America if they can't even name the president of a neighbouring Latin American country. This really illustrates why the relationship between your country and the region is so terrible, complete ignorance and lack of interest beyond how to best exploit resources.
Edit: listening again it appears Buttigieg did say the full name
That's what I was implying, I guess better things really aren't possible, at least not down to a single president. I don't have fantasies of Bernie ushering in a new era of democratic socialism singlehandedly, I just want him in there to push the party forwards to more progressive ideals and catch us up to the rest of the world.
Lol, why is Bloomberg even an option in the new SC poll if hes not even on the ballot there? 6% is pretty high for someone not even there.
Because "please god anyone who isn't Bernie" sounds slightly more desperate.
This seems pretty big to me. With Bloomberg being a non factor, any black voters who see Biden as a sinking ship have nowhere else to go besides Bernie and fucking Steyer. If Bernie wins again in NV, it could cause him to somehow sneak behind Biden and either win or get far closer than anyone thinks.
As far as I know voting for both makes for an invalid ballot. Can't upset those advertisers now can we?
That dumb double endorsement article about Klob being able to work with republicans is so farcical that I wish I could laugh. The turtle is sitting on close to 400 bills that won't go anywhere and they control the fucking presidency. So explain to me how Klob could get anything, anything, that isn't a far right, senate provided bill through congress?
Bloomsday is an excellent phrase. Did you coin this? Wonderful. Love to see it.
Six months ago I assumed Bernie winning the nom was a pipe dream, now that it's actually possible it feels like this:
Shit I hope we finally get to this feeling. 🤞🤞
Bloomsday (excellent name) isn't about polling though. Its strictly about delegates in a brokered convention siding with a moderate over a progressive. If the delegates were obliged to vote for who the country wants then we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place.
I thought step 2 was Central Park takeover.Shit I hope we finally get to this feeling. 🤞🤞
If you add all the moderates together though Bernie is losing by hundreds of percentage points
It sounded more like people were worried that if the centrist blob monster finally congealed into a singular form (Bloomberg) that he'd beat Bernie in the actual voting
Personally I believe as people drop and Bernie keeps winning he's going to peel off the Warren and Biden voters who have him as their second choice, and as I mentioned before, people want to back the winner.
Need to see MSNBC vs Bernie also if we can get that info ty.
Nope, we've already got Central Park. We're just waiting for 1/21/21 to commence the plan there.
Bloomberg's strategy is legitimately about subverting the will of the people. He doesn't want votes, he wants delegates.
