    What Democrats should really worry about (& what I’m mostly worried about) is voter suppression—especially in this election cycle. You see what the Trump administration & honestly GOP as a whole is trying to do with USPS & making it much more difficult for voters to vote by mail. That scares the s--- out of me. I don’t doubt for one second that the GOP would steal this election. They do not care about democracy.

    I read @Enigma's post and literally thought "Hope so."

    What Biden can be convinced/persuaded on excites me. Biden has always centered himself in the middle of the Democratic Party & the Party has notably moved to the left. We’ve already seen Biden shift to the left on some issues ranging from student debt to healthcare. What excites me:
    -DC & Puerto Rico statehood
    -Allowing RBG to retire in peace & appointing a young liberal Supreme Court Justice (w/ Clarence Thomas 72 & Alito 70).
    -John Lewis Voting Rights Act
    -Public Option for Healthcare
    -Entering back into the Paris agreement + ambitious environmental policies at home.

    etc.

    People say this hypothetically because of the changing demographic landscapes in Texas. They’ll say Texas will turn purple because of the growing Latino population. This article isn’t talking about that. This is based on actual polling.

    29D1E8D0-5610-4FBA-BC5B-4A82143A46D0.png

    Biden is leading on polling averages in Texas right now by .1. A Democratic Presidential candidate should not be leading in Texas lol. Or anywhere close to leading. I’m not saying Biden will win Texas but right now, based on current polling, Texas is a close race between Trump/Biden. It’s basically a coin flip. If Texas is a close race come November, that’s *TERRIBLE* news for Republicans in terms of the rest of the country.

    Given a divided Congress, I think this is surprisingly workable. Republican probably would demand the 125K figure would have to come down & there may be some debate on bankruptcy but given the current state of the country, reliving debt for Americans I think is something both parties could see middle ground on.

    Yesterday Biden hit 50% and today we have confirmation that the Recession started in February.


    This is Biden's race to lose. Please don't f--- this up, Joe.

    pls listen to this as u read my post


    I think that's fair to a point, but you said that about polling six months ago. Like Trump in 2016, Biden's leads have ...turned into wins. And it's more verifiable than your dreamland scenario for Bernie. He... would have lost. Biden at least has a shot to overturn 3-5 states we need to win. But right now you're seeing a weird bedfellows of elitist opinion writers, Bernie bros and MAGA types trying to concoct a narrative against him - that's what will change the polls, not this bs about his neurology. Log off Twitter! See this for what's going on!

    FOH, you're a Bernie bro. pot/kettle. And please, do we even need to go into the reasons why Tara Reade is full of s---? Isn't it obvious?

    Are you just throwing out words here? was this a draft on your iphone you accidentally clicked Send on?

    You people? I don't engage in these self righteous online games, certainly not on Twitter. If anyone has the underdog mentality of a teenager at a punk show - Yeah, F The Man! - it isn't me.

    But, to engage with your rude point, f--- Chris Hayes and members of broadcast/mainstream press for taking the bait on this. It's Benghazi/But Her Emails sliced with a facile comparison to the SCOTUS /Ford debacle. I don't watch MSNBC and think most of these talking heads are cancerous, so doesn't bother me to see their pandering to the base, which sows divisions and accomplishes little else, get pushed back on.

    So is the goal here to make Biden drop out and let [Bernie} be the nominee? What are you implying? BC I've gone over polls, I've explained the methodology . You just said Bernie isnt going to reemerge so what is all this supreme confidence of their own righteousness and bidens guilt going to truly achieve? You make it sound like this is a reasoned discussion - it isn't. You're eating your own tail justifying this type of party self-sabotage.

    I know, that's why I said it was dumb lol.
    no
    THEY ARE! Again, do you follow this stuff? Do you know who Katie Halper is? Ryan Grim and other activist-journalists are being accused of coaching witnesses dude.

    There's a bunch of reasons why Hillary lost as you allude. However, you're wrong to think Bernie calling her corrupt for months had no impact.

    Look, if you have genuine good faith arguments against biden on policy, fine. @WPG and his cohorts have (mostly) admirable goals, but I - and millions others - simply don't see them as plausible currently or politically approrpiate for this specific moment in time. That's a genuine, valid point of contention. There's a number of ways to skin a cat. Only a sith speaks in absolutes. But I object to this incessant drumbeat of character assassination. Biden's corrupt, he's senile (how do you know? talk about cosplaying MAGA you guys are sleuthing YouTube videos lol), he's a r--ist. And again, both sides online are doing this. If me objecting to constant, insidious mudslinging - that will only lead to trump's reelection - is "blind loyalty" then guilty. And please - I don't care who you vote for lol you live in Mass.


    I've already address why this is wrong, and the comparisons between Bernie and Trump's similar approaches have been discussed previously. Again, I'm not demanding anything - the primary is effectively over. This is being peddled as a longshot to drive Biden out of the nomination. That's.... not a conspiracy lol. You might find it hard to believe but people in politics tend to play politics.

    Like guys I know this is all internet veneer - and I mean this in the most affectionate, paternal way possible - but you're allowed to be wrong/not an opinion on something! its ok!

    Sad but true.

    Nah lol I mean this is an Eminem forum where the bar for real discourse is exceptionally low. But I am genuinely frustrated by the overall discourse out there.

    If this backfires on Biden I will eat crow.

    lmao @Swizz. btw, this is pretty compelling/damning for those of you 'on the fence':

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/opin...ault-allegation-tara-reade-column/3046962001/

    ofc, this will become "but her emails!" for biden. obama was a foreginer! kerrys a war criminal!
    so far, looks like dems have a good shot in pa, wisconsin, michigan, az, and possibly florida/nc/ohio. we will see!

    With the primaries pretty much over, I think this thread is warranted. We have our two major candidates: Joe Biden (D) & Donald Trump (R)
