Nah reading is easy. For example, a few posts up you said you didn't like Pete because of, "His politics mainly, but also his insufferable whiteness."ecdanc said:

Yeah and after finishing the debate last night...might need to move Warren up to the #1 and slide Pete down 1 spot.

So you're racist too?
Or are you sexist because he's a man? Because lord knows Amy and Warren have "insufferable whiteness" too.

Warren was an aggressive bully, cut people off, acted with entitlement with her expectation to always speak and slandered a candidate without evidence. We already have someone similar and he is president. On top of all that she is a horse faced liar.
Holy crap. Why would I ever use the rough horse faced language?
Hint, see Warren's quotes from the debate.

I thought it was obvious I was attacking warren using her very own language. So we agree Warren is a sexist?
And that's pretty funny about MSG. You know that fans could be perfectly cool missing a show or a tour, but still want to attempt to set the record straight about "low cost face value concerts?"0 -
I don't vote for candidates because I like them. I vote for the candidates whose policies most align with my values. I don't vote for candidates because I think they can win. I vote for the person I *want* to win. If everyone did that, the naturally strong candidate will emerge. The candidate that most people *want* will get the most votes.
Call me old fashioned but isn't this how it's supposed to work?0 -

I think it comes down to probabilities. Maybe I agree with Sanders 100% of the time, and Biden 90% of the time. But I think Biden has a much stronger chance to win the general. Are you better off with a 70% to achieve 90% of your beliefs, or 30% chance to get 100%. Maybe those numbers aren't right, but I think that's the math that some people do when deciding. I don't think that's wrong.what dreams said:I don't vote for candidates because I like them. I vote for the candidates whose policies most align with my values.

She exposed Bloomberg's vulnerabilitys as a candidate and should be thanked for it.
Warren is Trump, that's pretty cute.
My candidate??
My ranking, I'm sure you dont care but here it is anyway-yes I'm using mostly first names, is Joe, Pete, Amy then Mike. BTW it helps the moderates keeping Warren in the game for another month, so thanks lizzie.
Yes MB was eviscerated. But talk about double standard laced upon double standard.
It's ok for a woman to use offensive language attacking a man
It's ok for a woman to attack a man without proof
It's ok for a woman to attack a successful self made man because he is a billionaire.
Is the opposite of any of that true?
I'd expect MB to be better prepared next time FWIW0 -

I'm totally on board with this and will support whomever the nominee is. Unfortunately, the Berniebrosises will not if Bernie isn't the man. And in Team Trump Treason fashion, they prefer the chaos of what another 4 years of Team Trump Treason does to uniting behind the dem nominee as it opens the door a little more for their vision of utopia, even if they have to wait 4 more years for another chance and suffer irreparable harm in the meantime. What a bitter old man Bernie will be in his final days.The Juggler said:Folks,
Here's the thing...after yesterday's unsurprising news that Russia is at it again and Trump is covering it up, we all have to be on the same page. That's number one.
Number two...no matter who the nominee is, a moderate billionaire with a sexist past from a sexist time, a former Obama VP, or a socialist senator from Vermont who is closer to the NRA than most would like.....one thing is clear---WE ALL HAVE TO UNITE BEHIND WHOMEVER IS THE NOMINEE.
Donald Trump is an existential risk to our democracy. Defeating him is more important than literally ANY OTHER ISSUE in this campaign. I really hope the candidates in the next debate focus on that instead of tearing each other down. That's number three (Biden voice).
You know I am an independent. My views are moderate mostly. But I can tell with 100% certainty that I will back Bernie or Elizabeth, or the reincarnation of Hillary as a result of a brokered convention. I also pledge to volunteer my time to help whomever it is. I hope you all will do the same.
Quit the bickering. Focus on the most important thing that unites all of us------defeating this fucking Russian stooge in November. Literally the future of the country is dependent upon this. Anything else you care about policy-wise should be a distant second.

Donald Trump is an existential risk to our democracy. Defeating him is more important than literally ANY OTHER ISSUE in this campaign. I really hope the candidates in the next debate focus on that instead of tearing each other down. That's number three (Biden voice).
You know I am an independent. My views are moderate mostly. But I can tell with 100% certainty that I will back Bernie or Elizabeth, or the reincarnation of Hillary as a result of a brokered convention. I also pledge to volunteer my time to help whomever it is. I hope you all will do the same.
Quit the bickering. Focus on the most important thing that unites all of us------defeating this fucking Russian stooge in November. Literally the future of the country is dependent upon this. Anything else you care about policy-wise should be a distant second.

Not that different.
Warren was an aggressive bully, cut people off, acted with entitlement with her expectation to always speak and slandered a candidate without evidence. We already have someone similar and he is president. On top of all that she is a horse faced liar.
I thought it was obvious I was attacking warren using her very own language. So we agree Warren is a sexist?
And that's pretty funny about MSG. You know that fans could be perfectly cool missing a show or a tour, but still want to attempt to set the record straight about "low cost face value concerts?"0 -

All you do in here is (try to) dunk on the fairness and the good of Bernie Sanders."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Hmm I didn't see that (the bolded part). Yeah that would be beyond foolish.The Juggler said:
Yes. They've already said as much. Bloomberg even said he will continue his spending machine on whoever the nominee is. THAT is the kind of unity the democrats need right now. Not what we saw a few days ago. That's the point.Ledbetterman10 said:
I'm not suggesting I'm going out on a limb, dude. I know I'm saying what anyone else that understands this process already knows. But your "we gotta come together, too much is at stake" stance is easier said than done. If by some chance Sanders gets the nomination, will Bloomberg and Biden be behind him? Warren likely will, but I'm not sure about them. And if he doesn't win the nomination, and it's perceived by his supporters that he was screwed, they're not going to come out and vote for Bloomberg or whoever.The Juggler said:
You're not exactly going out on a limb predicting treacherous waters if there is a brokered convention, dude. Of course that will dramatically weaken whoever is the nominee.Ledbetterman10 said:
That's true. I just think, in this scenario where Sanders has a plurality but not the majority, granting him the nomination likely will bode well for Trump's re-election, but to deny him the nomination will have ramifications that go well beyond the Trump presidency....The Juggler said:
I've said this many times, democrats love finding ways to lose elections they should win.Ledbetterman10 said:
That all sounds well and good, Juggler. But if Sanders goes into the convention with the most delegates, but not the 1,991 he needs to secure the nomination, and the superdelegates give the nomination to someone else, forget about beating Trump, I think it could be an electoral death-sentence for the Democrats. Let's say, hypothetically, that Sanders gets 33% of the total votes in the primary and that's the plurality, but he doesn't receive the nomination. Well that's 33% of registered democrats that might tell the party to fuck off forever.The Juggler said:Folks,

Doesn't mean we can't do whatever we can to help whoever the nominee is
I personally think Trump will beat whoever the nominee is. So for the sake of their democratic party's future, the DNC better not fuck with their voters and say "Sure you like Bernie Sanders, but we're smarter than you and we know he can't beat Trump, so here's Bloomberg." That would blow up in their faces two-fold. First off, they'll piss off a large portion of their party, and secondly, in my opinion, Bloomberg will lose anyway.
My point is a simple one--no matter who it is/no matter how it plays out, support him/her and stop driving wedges before it's too late. The democrats have, once again, offered up a less than ideal field of candidates. Trump should be easy to beat but they are stepping all over themselves yet again. We gotta come together. Too much is at stake.
Also, half the country loves Trump, and they've already banded together. In fact, their bond (or whatever you wanna call it) has become stronger over the past four years. They're all in unison to see the democrats destroyed. You want (as I do, but I'm skeptical that it happens) the other half of the country to come together over the course of June through November. Not impossible, but as I said, easier said than done.
One of Sanders' campaign managers or top surrogates came out earlier this week and said they would not accept his money. THAT is exactly what we do not need.
Again--I don't think you are saying anything new. The incumbent always has an advantage. This one, in particular, should be easier to beat than the democrats are making it out to be. Despite the stuff you say in your second paragraph, it is still true that he has a lower approval rating than just about any incumbent in the history of polling running for re-election. And before you say something about polls, just about every incumbent in the history of polling has also gotten within a point or two of his approvals on election day. So he SHOULD be easy to beat. The democrats are shooting themselves in their collective foot. They need to stop. And fast.
And as for polls, yeah as I've said before, I don't put much stock in them, but I don't completely dismiss them either. I was curious to see what Bush's approval rating was in February 2004 compared to Trump's today. According to Gallup, Trump is at 49% (pretty good considering everything that's wrong with him and his presidency), Obama was at 45% in February 2012, and Bush was at 51% in February 2004. So unless this page I'm linking to is incorrect, Trump doesn't have the lowest approval rating of any incumbent running for re-election. It has Obama at 45% in Feb. 2012, and Bush Sr. at 41% in Feb 1992.
