Yes, there are people here who won't vote for the openly homophobic and supporter of genocidal regimes if she was the nominee.
How dare you.
We stan surfing liberal icon Tulsi!
Reported tbh.
And by reported, I mean reported myself.
As a brown person with a muslim family, no I would not vote for Tulsi on any part of a ticket.
Pete and Biden are in a great position for the next debate, all eyes are gonna be on Bernie and Warren lol
The experts in this thread sound a lot like the media and the pundits in 2016 with the whole "a moderate has broad appeal and that´s why Hillary will win". And yes, this has been a year long thing.
My state is after Super Tuesday and is 99% gonna go for Biden anyway and so if Warren is out at that point imma just stay my ass home.
Obviously, I'm coming out to vote for whoever the nominee is on election night (even though my state is 99.9% going to Trump)

sire, we need the catapult to launch this post into the sun
Biden is not Hillary for so many reasons that we've gone over and over to death. And ironically considering the controversy that Bernie is finding himself in, if Hillary had a dick she'd have won.
Hey, at least some folk in this thread know a thing or two and have a history of voting.
this sounds a lot like "Nate Silver was wrong once, ergo we can never trust him again"
Plus most of those takes come from the fact it's just responding to a ton of polls in important states saying the same thing. Not that we love or endorse it. We arent talking heads on fucking msnbc or something pushing a paid agenda for x candidate.
Probably pretty close. The Sanders campaign really stepped in it denying it up and down rather than trying to explain that he hates that Warren being a woman probably puts her at a disadvantage and he fully supports her running.
I'm gonna regret this monkey paw, but how about the next Dem debate be moderated by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
The ratings would be yuuuuge and perhaps we could talk about actual issues and leave the jokes to the professionals.

So basica
Yes, that's the only possible interpretation.
No others are possible.
At all.

If Sanders made it the GE I guarantee you every regular in this thread (who can vote in the US) would suck it up and vote for Sanders. This is not controversial.
The fact that you ask this of the Warren supporters in this thread like it's some sort of gotcha reveals a lot more about you than you're probably aware of.
Humor from the moderators would probably unironically make everyone seem more genuine and truthful.
Tulsi is like the one candidate who would give me pause in the general.
I'd probably still vote for her but regardless of the outcome, give up and head north to Canada. Both parties would be fundamentally broken by that point.
Good thing her favorability within the party is like negative six thousand.
Nah. We're going to get Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos as the moderators.
This is probably more accurate to my reaction as well, I'd still vote for her over Trump I guess...
Yeah I'm finding it very telling that "I'm not even sure you lifelong committed Democratic voters are even going to vote for this Democratic nominee!" is the first idea
There is no pause in the general for me, I'd vote for anyone with a D next to their name over Trump, and wouldn't think twice
It couldn't hurt, the moderators are already wannabe celebrities, at least hire people who can make the spectacle entertaining and divorced from a media that loves the smell of their own farts
There's also a fair bit of difference between saying it's more difficult for a woman to win and saying a woman can't win, even if it's for the same reason, but we'll never know the exact words or context of the conversation so whatever.
I think he knows by now that winning isn't on the cards for him.
But I'd like him to win at least Iowa, and in doing so break through a glass ceiling. It would be a good moment for gays.
Maybe not a major moment, but an ok sized one.
There are so many great LGBT political minds currently relegated to being just public servants, advisors, and operatives in our political systems. Heck how many gays are there in this very thread? Hopefully, Pete's success in this year's primary shows them (and straight people) that Moderate voters are increasingly open to LGBT candidates and we see a whole new generation of LGBT politicians.
I really think Clinton was a stronger candidate than Biden is now and would have been in 2016.
Clinton would have mopped the floor with Biden in 2016.

In a GE? Sure, I'll bite the bullet.
In a primary? Hell no. I'm not obligated to vote for somebody just because you like them.
They ain't slick. They know exactly what they're doing.
OP
OP
Sanders is my second pick so...I'm gonna vote for him?
Weird flex but ok my guy.
I asked this earlier but no one responded. Has anything been written about why online polls have been tougher for Trump than live phone call polls? The obvious explanation is phone calling skews older people but any good pollster whether online or live will weight their sample to account for that kind of stuff.
Me too. A vote is not an endorsement in FPTP elections, it's just A or B. And garbage A is definitely better than apocalypse B.
Stop tying your identities to your vote.
I mean form my memory most of the long timers in this thread that currently like Warren but are accepting it's probably not happening, were on the Harris train, or whoever else at the time was giving the best answers and polling trends. Certainly minds get changed regularly.
I think it's something that Nate Cohn seems like he has a hyper fixation on that no other data people seem to care about, for good reason.
Canada follows the US as they say. They just had their 2012 moment. They will probably have their 2014 moments soon enough, and then their 2016 moment will be something to behold.
I'd take my chances in Mexico; despite everything that's a country that will be on the upswing this century.
