After tonight's debate, and having just a few more days to mail my ballot, I've decided to go with Bernie after all. Pete blew it with his phony and arrogant attacks on Sanders and the others have worn thin on me. Bernie it is for me!
You are the first winner.
Everyone climbing on the Bernie Bandwagon gets a free one. Congrats sir!
So tell me who would beat Trump if not Bernie?
someone who is interested in uniting people, instead of dividing them
I believe the "we need to unite" thing is a pundit and political air castle thing without base in reality. People have argued that the low turnout in the early states was because they were content with whoever got elected. Anyone being better than Trump.
Lol.. yeah.... okey... no need to go down your list any further it seems.. Put your life savings on Steyer. And I keep mine on the most beloved senator in the country, Bernie Sanders.
Steyer stands a better chance against Trump than Bernie does. He'll lose too though.
Bernie will get his ass kicked in the swing states that matter. Wisconsin Michigan Pennsylvania Florida Ohio none of these states are going to go for Bernie.

So instead of baiting, why don't you try to convince me that there's a better choice.
Oh, but what am I thinking. It's so much more fun to bait and berate other people.
Fuck this place.
Hahahaha I can see you are where I was last week. Relax Brian, it’s all good. I think voting for Bernie is a mistake but that doesn’t make you a mistake
LOL, thank you for the vote of confidence, Cincy!
This whole election thing is feeling very stressful. I might have to have a beer or six after I get off work today.
I'm actually having to defend sanders to people now bc he is the frontrunner
Nobody I know IRL in my blue state thinks sanders has a chance against trump.

The problem is that if there's one thing that can drive marginal Republicans to the voting booth come general election, it's an opponent who's threatening to bring a stigmatized 'ism' to the USA. Ultimately, every candidate comes with baggage, but some baggage is easier to weaponize than other baggage. This one is simply dangerously easy.
I don't think Sanders as the general nominee will do any worse than any other DNC nominee from a Democratic turnout perspective, but I think he has the highest likelihood of drawing out Republicans who get concerned enough to vote Trump (instead of potentially simply staying home).

Andrew Yang
Well, my ballot is filled out, sealed in the envelope and ready to mail. In the end, believing a vote for Yang would be a throw away vote (he is still my favorite by far!) and believing Bernie will take California anyway, I went with Amy Klobuchar. I still like what Bernie stands for, I still believe we need more progressive people in office, but most of all, I believe we need to not get stuck with Trump for another for years.
For those who gave me shit for saying I was going to vote for Sanders, please, just keep your comments to yourself. I don't need to hear it, thanks.

"Klomentum" LOL. Big question is, what are her chances? I really don't know.
Amy as pres. and somebody as VP would be great. I liked Pete a lot for a while but I can't say I'm big on him right now. I really disliked him in the last two debates. But I'd take Pete over Dumpster for president any day and Pete for VP over some of the billionaire candidates, as well.

Well she's intelligent, qualified, well spoken, successful. So her chances are somewhere between slim and none because American voters are f****** morons.

I believe the "we need to unite" thing is a pundit and political air castle thing without base in reality. People have argued that the low turnout in the early states was because they were content with whoever got elected. Anyone being better than Trump.
Lol.. yeah.... okey... no need to go down your list any further it seems.. Put your life savings on Steyer. And I keep mine on the most beloved senator in the country, Bernie Sanders.
Steyer stands a better chance against Trump than Bernie does. He'll lose too though.
Bernie will get his ass kicked in the swing states that matter. Wisconsin Michigan Pennsylvania Florida Ohio none of these states are going to go for Bernie.
He'll sweep them.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
This is cool.Even though I do not fully understand it.
Would want an Z-axis on how likely they are to beat Trump according to polling. What determines where they are placed in the space? Why is tulsi down-left and not down-right or top-left for example.

Accelerated Disruption is a good way to leverage a smart idea and technology to successfully grow businesses and create distinct competitive advantage in traditional industries.
Accelerated Disruption is not good for government. Government is designed to be a long-term stable foundation upon which civilization is built. This solid foundation allows capitalism to grow and prosper, while mitigating the risks involved.
I guess some people just want to watch the world burn.
I like warren, and it's too bad she's sliding in the polls. she makes the most sense and actually tells you what her plans are and how she'll do it.
friendly reminder that only 5% of the delegates have been declared there's a long road ahead as more candidates drop out, those delegates will migrate to the more moderate candidates who remain (that won't be bernie)
bernie has 43 delegates the rest of the field has 54 combined
why does this look like you are refuting your own post?
It's still less than 50%. No way they are changing the rules for an outsider

Not sure but I've seen this type of poll a few times.
Warren consistently comes across as everyone's second pick. Which means she by far and away has the broadest support.

That is exactly what everyone said about Trump 4 years ago. Everyone said "don't worry, as some of the other 15 candidates drop out then their votes will not go to Trump." But that is exactly what happened. I'm guessing it will happen here too. Bernie only needs about 20% of the other voters when they drop to keep the lead, and that isnt much.

I agree. The GOP/RNC should have stepped in and prevented that from happening.
Happy to see you advocating for DNC intervention. Remove Bernie as a candidate, the sooner the better.

I'm not. Just stating facts from 4 years ago. I think whoever the people vote for should be the nominee. That is the whole point of an election, no matter how horrible the choice is. Our constitution limits presidents to 2 terms partly for that reason. Trump was the last person I wanted chosen out of the 16 or so who started, but I don't think they should have stepped in and prevented him from winning.

That may be true, but requiring a majority in the general election to win it, makes it extremely difficult for anything but a duopoly to exist in the USA. Then, if those two parties are (practically speaking) the only avenues to the presidency, and one has to be vetted by the private organizations prior to being nominated, then I'd argue that he's right and it's just not a democratic process. You could argue that this is evidenced by the fact that it's only been one of the two major parties who's ever actually succeeded.

it's essentially the same process in canada, though. each party chooses their own leader. but in the states it's just a massively drawn out process so the party can be sure they are nominating the most popular candidate. people seem to think that the party is beholden to the convention, and it isn't. they mostly do choose the most popular candidate, but if they feel that they can't bring in swing voters or voters from the other party, it's well within their right to choose someone else. this whole "bernie got fucked in 2016" is hogwash. they can choose whomever they want.
in canada they just vote internally. and I'm thankful AF for that. i can't imagine if our federal elections took up half of each PM term. the system is beyond ridiculous.

I'm actually having to defend sanders to people now bc he is the frontrunner
Nobody I know IRL in my blue state thinks sanders has a chance against trump.
I don't think Sanders as the general nominee will do any worse than any other DNC nominee from a Democratic turnout perspective, but I think he has the highest likelihood of drawing out Republicans who get concerned enough to vote Trump (instead of potentially simply staying home).
