I give Bernie shit for not campaigning in the south in 2016 and rightfully so but Bloomberg straight up isn't on the ballot in the first 4 states and nobody seems to give a shit.

Yeah, not even kidding, with that Big Gulp stunt, Trump would wreck Bloomberg in every midwest and rust belt state expect Illinois. He'd probably even flip Minnesota.
Lol right?
If there was a viable progressive alternative, that would absolutely be a reason not to vote for him. That's why I backed Warren for a while. She's not viable anymore though, so I'm fully backing Bernie, but yeah... I'm honestly even more worried about him dying as an October surprise. Also forfeiting incumbency advantage is fucking dumb, but here we are.
And yeah, I'll be really pissed if Bernie picks a moderate VP, because there's a good chance he dies before 2025.
That part from the Trevor Noah show, wow. I already disliked him for his rethoric about black French people not being actually french, but this, wow. Dude's unabated trash.
Pete is a super smart dude who seems like he retains information well and would make a real effort. Makes his establishment embrace all the sadder.
Unfortunately if I learned anything from last general election, the national head to heads don't mean much. Clinton was up 4.7 at the same date last cycle.
That's not to say I don't think Sanders can win - I'm more in the camp of its a total crapshoot trying to figure out who is and isn't electable and just letting the primary play out will tell us who has the best chance.
First time watching that video, glad it was kind of a wake up call / attack on those out of touch or worse agenda having pundits. I had no idea Trevor Noah did that shit. Shame on him, I hope he gets embarrassed on that part.
They're so out of touch / disingenuous and it's disgusting that some of them pretend to represent democratic ideals.
Damn so good.
That woman saying "he makes my skin crawl" is just...terrible.
I'm very libertarian for consumers on the individual level so that whole anti-soda business is just the cherry on the shit sundae of awful Bloomberg policies and gaffes.
If people should be drinking less soda, stop subsidizing corn or create disincentives/taxes in the supply chain and address things on that level without punishing people trying to find scraps of happiness in their daily lives by buying a fucking 20oz soda.
I was just browsing the Bernies subreddit and I saw someone post how Bloomberg is the same age as Bernie. I had to do a double take, like what the fuck.....
For all the hand wringing about Bernies age being a problem I have yet to see the same be done about Bloomberg anywhere in the media or even here.

Queer activists disrupt Pete Buttigieg event in San Francisco: 'We deserve better'
Fundraiser highlights division as growing number of LGBTQ+ voters say his views don’t represent them

Quite a shocker! LGBTQIA+ people and non-whites don't necessarily stan Buttigieg. Hmm, I wonder why that is...
I'm so annoyed that the first serious gay candidate is such a turd. I would love a progressive queer candidate down the road.Queer activists disrupt Pete Buttigieg event in San Francisco: 'We deserve better'

Yup, same here. I'm also always a bit shocked to find out how many people on this forum do support stuff like that and banning cigarettes.
Whenever they do this, they have to realize they're low key recognizing that neither candidate has a winning ticket. Or else they would just endorse one of them.
They probably were all in on Biden until he torpedoed.
That'd be the dream. I remember first hearing about Buttigeig and finding out he was gay, then becoming immensely disappointed when I read some of his policy stuff. :/

the even better part
nothing says "big pete energy" quite like accusing lgbtq activists of being homophobes because they disagree with you
I like to think the Dem Establishment never expected Klob to stick around for so long, and probably thought she would perform like Bennett or Booker, but through her debate feistiness and media sympathy she carved out her own piece of the moderate lane and is basically preventing both Biden and Buttigieg from asserting themselves as the standard-bearer for the moderate wing.
It's a hilarious situation all around and ultimately beneficial to Sanders but still, lol

Wow, Pete should really reign this in. Some of his supporters are so toxic!
I understood that reference.
Bernie Sanders is a Crystal Gem: FACT
I saw a Twitter post on NH night referring to the multiple centrists being combined into one in exit polls as the "human centristpede" and thats what it should be referred to.
I'm more imagining a writhing, centrist, cronenburgesq mass.
The Entity 2020.
RE: The Las Vega's Sun's endorsements of Biden and the Klob - From Wikipedia:
Lol, the Sun can get fucked. Also, fun fact, the The Review-Journal is owned by Sheldon Adelson.
Fuck both of these papers.

But I was told on here that Pete's bombing because older black folk are innately homophobic.Queer activists disrupt Pete Buttigieg event in San Francisco: 'We deserve better'

Not to derail the thread, but I think his response to the criticism is worth looking at.
The point after 5:30 struck me most, since before hearing it verbalized I hadn't realized how relevant it was to me and most people in my social circles, despite us being brown in one of the brownest areas in Canada.
(Though I've yet to watch that Bernie vid, and don't even like Noah all that much. Don't think I've seen a single full ep of his show since he took over)

Remember when Chasten held a rally at a gay bar for Pete but cancelled when there were dance polls there? They are so lame.
A lot of people talk about the criticism of "Pete not being gay enough" but I don't think they really get the criticism at all. It's not that Pete has to be overly flamboyant, it's that he actively seems to avoid being seen around any parts of LGBTQ+ culture that could be seen as "problematic."
The fuck, I got the exact same text message, but Jason instead of Amanda. I made an argument for him to support Bernie Sanders instead.I figured I might as well be honest.
Fuck Bloomberg
What the fuck is with this headline

I immediately assumed it was Yang himself, but forgot she had already talked about sexual assault from someone else a few weeks back
Looks like I'm not on the same calling lists you two are on.
