They have to stay on this message, because there is nothing else that is unifying the Democratic Party at this point. Every time any of them make a speech, it’s angry at Trump first, policies second. And I would argue Bernie is not really talking about issues at all, his policy ideas are essentially silly platitudes. The only ones that focused on policies were Yang and Gabbard. Klobuchar seems decent, but I don’t know how long her momentum holds up. She seems reasonable and likable, but that doesn’t usually bode well for Democratic candidates.
It bodes better than being an insufferable bitch. So there's that. What might really hurt her is that she didn't just go against every republican proposal and nominee by default. We know how much voters on both sides hate anyone not just there to kick and scream like a crazy person. Unacceptable!
Do any of y'all get the impression that Biden doesn't really want to run, but is being forced to? He's been in politics a long time, I'm sure they have dirt on him. "Alright, Joe, just go up there, say what we tell you to, and we'll make it sweet for you. If you don't, __________ comes out." He really seems like he'd rather be doing something else.
Same, Dixie, dude does not seem genuinely engaged. It could also just be age catching up with him. How many narratives can one dude memorize in 50 years of politics?
It would explain a lot. Gee, you're against nazis Joe? What a great position to have... in 1942. Or he just wanted to get the 15 million dollars in 'speaking fees' so he can move on to a comfortable retirement.
In nearly all of the clips I’ve seen/heard of Biden, the crowd sounds like a salesperson who has to stay in the conversation so that they can get the sale. That’s just my take on it.
Or, OR, the DNC doesn't want him to be president! Let me put on my tinfoil hat for a moment. It's no secret that the DNC doesn't want Bernie to get the nomination. However, most of the other candidates don't look like they can beat him. So they push Biden to run, and when they pick him as the winner, they pair him up with some lackey who will do whatever they say as VP. Then, after Biden gets elected, he steps down for "medical reasons." Bam, we get the DNC's ultimate pick. Or maybe he just sucks at campaigning, what do I know?
Looks like the Dens flipped on Biden and is pushing Bloomberg as the man who can beat Trump. Either way, they're fucking Bernie over. Again. It's almost like they know Bernie would get demolished by Trump (That's my opinion anyways)
Whenever they want, the Clintons could just send their “asset”, known primarily as “Mr. Smith”, to pay Bernie a visit to help give the DNC the sycophant company whore they want for every primary.
LOL Bloomberg. Did you honestly think directly ordering cops to target minorities over five million times wouldn’t come back to haunt you? Fuck off and stop syphoning votes, you’re useless.
Has it not always been corrupt? Again I say......you get the justice that you can afford. Here it was political currency, but cash works, too.
Or saying that the reason the financial crisis happened was because the banks issued loans to black people. I can’t believe he is now being pushed as the front runner. Bernie is going to get screwed over again.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-wont-pursue-criminal-charges-against-mccabe It's true. So sad, there are clearly several tiers of justice, aren't there? George Papadopoulos and Andrew McCabe both lied, yet the outcomes are different.
Do any of y'all think the DNC is putting support behind Bloomberg because he's funding his own campaign, and they save money that way?
They're putting support behind him because he's donated a ton of money to the DNC and other candidates. He's essentially buying DNC support and endorsements from various democrats. It's also because Biden is bombing.
Bloomberg won’t have any support if he doesn’t win any delegates. If his money spending doesn’t get him anywhere the DNC isn’t going to risk an all out civil war in the party trying to get him super delegates. I think Buttigieg is the establishment’s easy choice.
Word. He straight-up blamed the 2008 recession on poor people. Drop him into a forest fire made of Ebola.
