Were you not around during the 2016 elections?

So the lesson is...double down on that strategy again?

Hopefully Bloomberg gets demolished in the next debate so we can all calm the fuck down.

didn't he qualify for the past one after they changed the rules?  I wouldn't be surprised if he avoids the debates.  It's probably a bigger risk/gamble getting on that stage than just continuing to throw out money.

Bloomberg is just the new "flavor of the month" for big money/corporate interests, he'll face plant soon enough.

Guys, what do you think went wrong with the 2016 election?

What if Jimmy Carter enters as the dark horse candidate.

You can also include 9.2% percent of Obama voters that flipped to support Trump, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/15/upshot/the-obama-trump-voters-are-real-heres-what-they-think.html

lesson of the day: Hillary was a shitty candidate. 

People will vote for who they want to, we have to stop thinking we can tell people how to vote, this "vote blue no matter who!" shit doesn't work.  "Get out the vote!" campaigns become a joke when there's fine print that states, "...unless you vote against who we want, then it's all your fault they lost!"

That fortunately didn't happen in the primary AOC won.

AOC defeated the incumbent who was likely next in line to become the next speaker.  Oops.

Since 2015, Bernie has been written off as "unelectable" because he didn't have minority support yet they sure as hell don't say the same for Pete or Amy.  They definitely mention their polling with minority support being low but it's not a "campaign-ending"/"unelectable" narrative that they've pushed on Sanders these last few years.

I feel like people are overestimating Bloomberg.

"They just keep saying it's a disproportionate percentage of a particular ethnic group. That may be, but it's not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims describe as committing the murder," the wealthy businessman, with an estimated net worth of $60 billion, said in a 2013 interview with WOR. "In that case incidentally, I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little."

Bloomberg is enjoying a honeymoon period, he's going to crash & burn harder than Biden. 

That's the best primary candidate they could put up against AOC?  This will be a cake-walk. 

Warren's current speech sounds like a concession speech.  Also why does she keep saying only her and Amy aren't billionaire's and taking superPACs?  She just said that again word for word.

I thought that too, I was expecting him to shift to someone else.  I love that he welcomed it, "Go on" *Ari stares directly into MSNBC's soul*

I love how she's about to shade MSNBC & Ari looks into the camera, "Go on" welcoming that shade

Wish we could stop the in-fighting and just focus big picture on trump. I get that it’s a primary and this is the point, but I hate for all the dirty laundry to be aired now for Republicans to use in the general. 

They'd use it in the general regardless.  Republicans have access to the same information, all this crap isn't some top secret information that only democrats have access to like it's all locked away in a box.

This is pure utter bullshit.

 

Todd was reading a quote from this article:

https://thebulwark.com/newsletter-issue/bernie-bros-and-the-internet-of-beefs/

...he was repeating it as if he was agreeing with it or let least entertaining the idea that it has merit.  Did you watch the full clip? Why the fuck are they even entertaining this nonsense as if it could be legitimate?

The military does a lot more than build planes to bomb brown people with. 

...but what is your point then?  You're saying it's wrong to think that the military is some giant waste of money because people are employed & these are jobs at stake.  You can make that argument for so many industries for the past...forever. I bet there's even a shit ton of military jobs that were destroyed because of automation/machines dating back the last 100 years & nobody ever gave a shit about those job losses.

& this is why Bernie would destroy Trump.  Trump is a fraud and Bernie's record allows him to expose that.

Anybody want to save the manufacturer jobs that have been taken over by machines for the past, I don't know...100 years?  You think it takes the same amount of people to manufacture a car now as it did in 1920?

The money could definitely be better spent, but it's wrong to look at military spending as some giant waste of money to build some shitty airplanes. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people are employed directly or indirectly because of the military budget, and no one really thinks about it. So whenever someone says we should slash military spending to pay for x, that's all well and good but literally thousands or tens of thousands would lose their jobs. Including at least a handful of people on this board

This idea that we save jobs because they are there...*laughs in history*

Who Will Win The 2020 Democratic Primary?

I like how Sanders is the only one beating "no one"
