I'll blame Biden, but either way this is a problem.
Any comparison to previous years available?
We're going up against a cult who watches nothing but Fox News or reads whatever their dumbfuck brother-in-law who works at Jiffy Lube posts on Facebook. Ofc they're enthused, which makes it all the more harder.
just asking, could Trump pivot to supporting decriminalization of marijuana in the 2020 elections? if there are any chances, do they differ, for example, if he goes vs Biden or vs Bernie?
He doesn't drink alcohol so he's probably old school anti-drugs. He also likes to portray immigrants as drug dealers so it's unlikely no matter who he faces.
Trump allegedly hates drugs (IIRC his brother overdosed? or maybe it was alcoholism?) and has always been a "tough on crime" twit (well, not white collar crime like he and his buddies routinely engage in, you know, ones that get black people arrested). If he were to flip on marijuana it would be very surprising.
If you're asking about how well Biden and Sanders do against Trump, according to RCP's average, Biden polls 11.5% ahead of Trump while Sanders polls 7% ahead of Trump. It should be pointed out that polls this far out aren't necessarily reliable (Clinton was regularly polling at landslide numbers against Trump at this point in the 2016 campaign), but Biden has consistently polled the best against Trump of any candidate, probably since he still has good will from being Obama's Vice President and easily the most well-known.
didn't knew that he doesn't drink. interesting
nah i was asking in the sense that maybe if Biden was the Dem candidate, he could try to support this, but not if he ran against Bernie. idk, i just read about this
oh idk then. I doubt it would factor much into anything, Biden is going to get tarred and feathered as a socialist just as much as Sanders (it'd probably be a less effective attack, but they'll try anyway).
I don't think Trump has much room to credibly steal youth support from any Democrat, really.

I vaguely remembered that line in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so of course I had to look it up...

Yep, and our base is larger, anyway. 47% of 100 is larger than 51% of 50!
If they're roughly equal, it's good.
Fuck this. ICE has to be destroyed.
Why would we be enthusiastic. Dems are more scared than anything
I wouldn't have said yes to being enthusiastic if I was in that poll either. But I'm still going to run my shoes into the ground when the time comes
We also don't have a nominee to coalesce around. Trumpers know he'll be their guy.
There's less to be enthused about even if you know which candidate you're supporting, since it could very well be someone else.
Very good news to hear. Means that she is slowly winning the argument for why she should win the nomination. Keep it going, Liz!
Bernie's strength with Hispanic voters I can only assume is because they're a younger demo. Or they like nuclear waste.
Biden falling in 'beat Trump' I get. Why did Sanders fall too lol.
Also it's hilarious how the polls keep trolling Tulsi.

They talk about adrenochrome in the Fear and Loathing movie, too, hyping it as particularly intense if you get it from a fresh adrenal gland. It's a real chemical but not a real recreational drug. Apparently there's a scene in the Maze Runner movie that the freaks are also basing their belief in this fictional drug upon.
I do enjoy that people cried at Obama freeing up Iranian funds the US tied up for years, and Trump is literally about to give Iran a line of credit
Something something Pelosi shouldn't mention the whiplash foreign policy.

Yep and this time we are actually paying the Iranian government. Remember all the hoopla about un-freezing their funds?
The worst deal ever is suddenly the best deal ever just with Trump's name on it
Which doesn't seem helpful. His base hates brown people especially from Iran, and most everyone not in the Fox bubble is aware this is just worse than what we had. This feels like a lot of his recent "reaches" for basically *any* success.
