This Fight Song is where I am emotionally rn regarding this Executive branch and GOP.
Those were simpler times. They've just gotten crazier since.
Not just Chris Matthews who is constantly talking shit about Bernie on MSNBC, either. Yesterday morning I heard Joe Scarborough say that Bernie would bankrupt the country if he became president and was able to pass any of his agenda. Tuck Chodd is always scaremongering about him, too.
If this is the kind of coverage he gets on the left slanted media channel I can only imagine the shit slinging we'd see from the more mainstream outlets. Hell, we may see outright favoritism towards Trump just because these places are desperate not to potentially mess with their beloved stock market.

+CO+AZ+ME+NC-AL would do that.
Or +CO+AZ+ME-AL, Romney goes I, the ultimate MODERATE MORMON MAVERICK
I thought just yesterday about how lucky Gary Peters must feel. He'll be fine with either Biden or Sanders at the top of the ticket - as in, he can run well with both of them. They both complement him on labor and unions.
I've been thinking about that latter scenario alot lately. The Mormons have been relatively sour on Trump compared to other religions and Trump certainly isn't doing himself any favors with how he treated Romney since the acquittal. The Mormons aren't stupid and know full well that the evangelists despise them, so when does the math work out for them go independent and get more political power by not being tied to either party?
Has it really had an effect on those races though? Any polls? Or tales from his ass as usual.
Klobuchar doesn't get the kind of scrutiny that she probably deserves because she has never been a viable candidate and still isn't. Her big Iowa surge where she punched above her weight still put her in a fairly distant 5th.
Yeah, real bizarre why anyone would want to respond to an attack aimed at them...
He lies about polls he cites in his tweets, I see no reason he wouldn't lie about ones he doesn't show.
Joe absolutely detests Trump so I would've thought he'd be "blue no matter who." Chuck Todd you always expect to be a spineless both sides guy.
Yeah, but Mitch/GOP still control the Senate, so if it comes up, of-fucking-course they'll get their own judge in there during that time. I mean, is that even a question?
Joe Scarborough? He's a disaffected republican, he probably sees Bernie the same way he sees Trump politically.
My problem with the current democratic race, ok so a lot of comparisons are made between trump and Bernie as far as they pulling the parties to themselves to win it all, problem is, deep down all republicans want is a white nationalist state, meanwhile most democrats don't want socialist government.
Years of republicans making government inefficient has worked, people don't want the government in their healthcare etc. I think people just want a president in the background, and not someone who's gonna attempt to fundamentally change our economic system.
While we worry about whether "Bernie bro's" will vote for a moderate, I think the opposite is more worrying. I worry about the moderates not voting Bernie. 2018 and the type of democrat that won in Obama-> Trump districts is who we should be running.

If you think this is true then you just capsized your own support of Warren.
Warren is a capitalist. She just wants better regulated capitalism
Sanders has virtually the same favorability as Biden, high above all other candidates. If your argument is that every Democrat is going to lose the general election because they all have favorability weaknesses, by all means. But to insinuate there are those who won't vote for Sanders specifically is unfounded based on all polling.
Funny this tweet went out earlier today. Stats and polling Twitter were talking about how, if it isn't Biden, Sanders is going to be very hard to beat because of how well-favored he is.
I'm still checking them out. They're an NB (they/them) SocDem. I'm seated calmly and quietly on the Gideon train but I'm certainly interested in their campaign. They're certainly very aggro.
Don't think Gideon will have any issues in the primary.
From last May:
McConnell Would Fill Potential Supreme Court Vacancy In 2020, Reversal Of 2016 Stance
Because that's how our country works now.
Def hope it at least brings soc dems out to vote in the primary and helps them stay engaged for the general.
How in the hell is a logo that says "I want to kill rich people" not something that's absolutely disqualifying to you?
I want to tax rich people exorbitantly and redistribute the money to help society. The thought of seeing anyone beheaded makes me ill.
I also oppose the death penalty and executions in general - a position I would assume all progressive people share. Even joking about the topic seems at the very least macabre. But I'm just a milquetoast liberal not cut out for a workers' revolution, I guess.

hey buddy, go to hell
my eyes just fell out 😵
fake edit: new profile banner contender?
There might be some races where that imagery might be okay to use, and yeah, Susan Collins has made some shitty ass votes, but the guillotine isn't going to go well. Especially in Maine.
