Hot takes on the Democratic frontrunners - Page 20

They gave him the Bernie 2016 treatment.

Hot take Neutral Evil Bloomburg: A victory by the left wing oligarch will create at least as big a back-lash as Trumpy. I believe he can be as shitty as Trump during an election cycle which likely suppresses independent turn-out.

Left wing? He's running because he doesn't want Bernie or Warren to raise his taxes, and didn't think Biden was doing well enough against them.

glatt · 02-14-2020, 01:42 PM

Hmm.

I'm going to need to start thinking about these guys. Super Tuesday is in about two weeks.

Biden tanking in Iowa really messed things up for the DNC.. no wonder they tried to sit on those results. After the first two primaries, polling shows Bernie went up by double digits at the same time Biden dropped by that amount--they literally swapped places. Total nightmare scenario for the establishment.

And now the mass foot-shooting begins. The guy who is their front runner, who has massive popularity and unlimited fundraising, is actually winning, but they can't stop trying to smear him. "He will be horrible and ruin America and he's a Communist and there will be public executions and brownshirts!" they cry, in a total palms-sweating panic.

About the guy who is winning.

Here's the problem, though. He is projected to win EVERY STATE except two on Super Tuesday. Including Texas and California. He WILL be the candidate. They might not "like it" but short of having him ASSASSINATED, he WILL be the candidate.

So, how long do they go on, rat-ƒucking their own guy??

Saying, "He'll lose, like McGovern" is saying that DEMOCRATS will lose.

I don't know anyone, not one single person, who didn't vote for Clinton after voting Bernie in the Primary. Bernie himself rallied for HRC. He was gracious, he never went negative. It's time to stop the fairy tales. It's like Democrats WANT to lose.

6% of Sanders voters either stayed home or voted for Trump.

The fact that you personally didn't know any isn't evidence.

Flint · 02-14-2020, 04:10 PM

You know there's an election THIS year, right?

Are you going to write-in HRC to get revenge on those gosh-darned Bernie Bros?

What? No. I will be voting against Trump. Nominate anyone. Nominate a ham sandwich, I will vote for it over Trump. Hell, I would even vote for myself over Trump, and there is nobody on this Earth that wants me in the oval office.

Why?

Seriously, why?

Specifically, why?

Nate Silver predicts Bernie Super Tuesday dominance

sexobon · 02-14-2020, 07:59 PM

You have to recognize Hillary's strategy. She's using reverse psychology by berating Bernie Sanders, figuring that all those who voted for Trump to spite her last time around will vote for Bernie to spite her this time around. That way she gets rid of Trump and the Dems get back in power to toss her a bone. Evil genius.

Happy Monkey · 02-14-2020, 08:33 PM

Might as well use their hate for a good purpose, I suppose.
