War Room Lounge v106: Your thread was moved. That's basically the same as nazi book burnings.

Reich made it seem like it's the state government, which does iirc maintain the amount of polling sites, but I would think it falls more on the party to allocate polling station personnel and resources.



I get that winning is more important than what is done after winning. The point is that the argument that Biden is more capable of winning is very, very shaky, and the arguments that he will be more effective once in office in achieving meaningful policy are nonexistent.

I mean the proof is in the pudding, he's actively winning and over performing expectations even in some places he was slated to win and the turnout has been insane in general.

I would not be surprised if Liz backs him and finally gets the VP slot she deserved last election.

I wonder if some this has to due with generational demographics

Generation X is the age group that should currenlty be leading the country but they are by far the smallest demographic in the country.

Millennials rival Baby Boomers in size but the oldest millennial are just turning 40.

This past election cycle we saw Mayor Pete, AOC and other Millennials starting to make some noise and I think we'll see them start to take over

Fertility rates certainly aren't increasing and life expectancies are. The increased size of the Millennial generation is essentially entirely a product of immigration, which has slowed.
I don't think the trends about to reverse.
That's just the general demographics though, not sure why it's exaggerated in the political class and civil service.

I think the reality is the US as a whole is a center right to center left country.

They want Obamacare with a public option instead of Medicare for all as an example.

This vote was fractured between Biden, Pete, Amy and Bloomberg..

Biden has the name recognition and is familiar to people so he feels safe. So the moderates finally rallied around him

Elected officials collectively are generally going to be to the right of public opinion because of structural advantages and the greater propensity of right-leaning Americans to vote. Of course, a lot of left-wing morons think that the solution to that is for them to not vote.

Biden may be “more electable” but him picking Beto to head up gun control is going to scare a ton of people away who were on the fence.

If Biden is the nominee, how many of you won't be putting money down on Trump to win re-election?

We need to abolish Instagram ASAP

There are obvious cases where social pressure fulfills an important regulatory function. This is one of them.

Political radicalization and non-shaving women are among the most obvious downsides of social media.

Bloomberg dropped out

Thank fuck

Trump will absolutely shred Biden and you know it. Rich democrats in the USA would rather back Biden than lose some money, even if it means 4 more years of Trump. It's going to be a hilarious debate though.

Biden has Bloomberg's money now cause Bloomberg endorsed him.

I don't think there's any real difference between what a president Biden or a president Bernie could do. Whether it's right or wrong, it really comes down to the perception that Biden is more electable.

Maybe, but that perception is not very grounded.

Biden's base has primarily been lower-middle class dems, much like Bernie's. It's not a "keeping money" thing for those.

the @MikeMcMann play, bold strategy cotton...

@Turtle Up , you liked this post. You're also a 2006 account with no posts. Explain yourself.

 

[Quipling]

I'm pretty cheesed about Bloomberg dropping out. I had a great thread I was writing about him being a crypto socialist who was staying in to spoil Biden's chances and needed to drop out.

 

[MMAisGod]

Also, I've seen a ton of these pictures, specifically for colleges. How in the fuck does this happen every single primary election?

Not sure how much is truth and how much is salt, but one of my best friends lives in Houston. He said that they had issues that caused delays at his location, then closed it, which was where a lot of the younger people went to vote due to the location/neighborhood. But that it wasn't the case where the old grandmas went.

Want this house

It also amazes me that that house in Washington if on the west side of the Cascades would be like 15-20 mil

An electable candidate is more important than a candidate that makes you feel good in this election.

The fact still remains even the corpse of Joe Biden has an incredible amount of name recognition with multiple important demographics for a democrat victory.

You are a minority, the majority of the country doesn't give anywhere near a shit about politics or policy, but they still vote more than people who spend this much time caring about politics and policy, and in much greater numbers.

Winning is more important than feelings this time.

Biden is going to get crushed by Trump, and it's what America deserves.

 

[JDragon]

At the end of the day, the question is the same as it was in 2016. Bernie or a mainstream Democrat? And at the end of the day, it is obvious that Bernie Sanders simply does not enjoy sufficient support. However, nominating Biden is a huge, huge mistake by the Democrats. Any candidate would have had a hard time against trump, but I simply I cannot imagine how Biden is supposed to beat Trump.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Maybe, but that perception is not very grounded.

It has some, but, yeah, I think it's overstated. The gap between them in that area is likely very small and hard to predict.

This is such a shit take. Biden won't even attempt to do the things Bernie would. He cuts SS if elected. Guaranteed.
