Yep, just wait a month or two even when we're on lockdown into summer with no sign of improvement. This thing is just getting started in many areas. On our local news there's someone dying every day now, and not just elderly. People can deal with this for a week or two, but as we hit May and it just gets worse, people will be angry.
Trump's tough talk plays well for now, as most people are just reading about this in the news. Trump is promising pure fantasy, saying we'll be back by Easter. That polls well now, but wait until we pass it and the bodies keep piling up.
I want you to be correct. But I'm afraid ~40% of the population will have this same logic come November.
And you think the console warz have some serious goalpost moving.
Replies are hilarious. Imagine trying to justify being against people being able to vote.
Joe is a freaking mess I don't know how we had all of the candidates to choose from that we did and a guy like Trump to run against and we are nominating an old guy with no new ideas. I really am afraid Biden will lose, I wish the media hadn't kept the "he's the most electable" narrative going on so long.

Guess what though? A socialist revolution isn't happening. Even a smaller left swing isn't happening. We lost to Trump in 2016 and it is going to be very close again. Trump gets impeached and his poll numbers go up. The pandemic so far has his numbers going even higher up.
This channel is trying to hard to push an agenda. I don't see anything wrong with what Joe said. Politicians not directly answering questions to put out their own narrative? ZOMG! Their forced agenda is so painful.
Yes, he's boring. Yes, he's not going to do anything particularly exciting. At best, he might be able to get ACA back alive (even that may be too far gone). He's fine to lead though. The next 4 years will be about rebuilding government, because all that is left is "interim" people who are Trump sycophants.

You can't have what you want right now, but in 4 years the doors will open up. Joe won't go 2 terms, so that opens up the door for someone much more interesting.
If Trump wins again, this country is done. The election itself is already in jeopardy. This isn't time to push anything to the left. We push too far and there may not be a free election in this country ever again. It is also possible we simply lose fairly.
Because nobody could run to the left without getting purity tested out of the race by Bernie
Also that video wasn't even that bad. Just some hacks trying too hard because they are mad its not Bernie.
Biden's lack of visibility
The guy who made the remarks isn't a Bernie supporter, Krystal is but he's not he just doesn't trash him. They could have used clips from plenty of other shows that Biden has appeared on since his basement studio was "constructed" but they focused on the newest thing.
So are we back to blaming Bernie again because the center wants to put someone up who is friendly to corporate interests and doesn't want to make changes that will hurt the rich? The lack of enthusiasm for Biden is troubling and that's not Bernie's fault it's Biden's for not being able to inspire people. He brags about the black vote quite often but when you see black voters being interviewed most of them say they are voting for the person they think white people will accept which is just sad.
The center didn't put up anyone. The voters picked Biden.
It's the same thing when people were crying about there being no minority candidates left. People didn't poll for them, nor did they get enough donations. The voters are responsible for them not being there.This is the simple reality that Bernie supporters need to understand. There's no deep state conspiracy against him. We know what Bernie stands for, and we support other candidates. His message is very far left with no wiggle room for any kind of compromise. I don't dislike Bernie and I understand why people follow him, but his far left views aren't going to work in America right now.

I have said we would be better of if they both didn't run but the reaility is him being there means nobody could run to the left. Health care is the perfect example. There is plenty of room between the wild west s***show we have now and what Bernie would want to have. There is plenty of room between what Biden wants to do and what Bernie wants to do but it can't be explored because if its not Bernie's plan. Perfect example
Medicare 4 All isn't going to happen. It wouldn't happen if Bernie won. So does that mean nothing should happen? Why does anyone that wants to make any improvements especially ones that actually could happen need to be labeled as someone who is ok with poor people dying?
Because its cult of personality with his campaign and you are either with him or you're against him.
If the enthusiasm numbers are low that just means everyone else ran terrible campaigns in which case what campaign that went nowhere are we supposed to be longing for? All the campaigns had to convince people they could win. If that is all a voter cares about you need to convince them. You need to build a real coalition too. Not just people on Twitter. Not just 30%. For some reason its ok that Bernie made no attempts to get anyone's endorsements. Why actually try to win over the voters of other candidates? Just give the same speech about establishment. I'm sure the 96734th time people hear they will be convinced.
