| Topic | My predictions for the US 2020 presidential race. |
| Yellow 06/04/19 4:53:31 AM #11: | I'll screenshot this topic so we can compare. You: -One by one, Dem candidates say / do something stupid until they become "unelectable" Me: Joe Biden does something stupid until he becomes "unelectable", every other lobbied candidate is already unelectable. (He's basically tied with Bernie at this point, and every time he runs he can't help but make people hate him and tank in poll numbers.) You: Dem political commentators constantly arguing over who's too liberal and who's not liberal enough Me: The entire news media scrambles to find a corporate candidate who can actually stand a chance. You: Trump says "I could light a puppy on fire and people would still vote for me" Me: He already did this, not fair. -Dem candidates get whittled down to Bernie and Biden, the DNC picks Biden (obviously) I really hope they don't have that much power. -Bernie supporters go nuts, refuse to vote for Biden, yada yada yada I refuse to vote for someone just because they have a D on their head, because I'm not a tribalist, and I care about consequences. If Hillary was a liberal she wouldn't have voted for every war. If Biden was a liberal he wouldn't have voted for every war. They wouldn't vote in favor of their pharmaceutical, insurance, and military contractor donors over popular opinion if they were any kind of "Democrat" I'd care about. They're like walking popups spouting that I've won the lottery. They're like hot girls on Tinder. Odds of them working out for me? About 0%. They're better than Trump because they're not slamming on the accelerator in reverse, but just parking the car, and eating a burrito while the world burns down. It's actually looking pretty good though, because the best they can do is Biden, and Bernie actually polls well against Trump. Sanders actually polls well in rust belt states where unemployment is a serious problem, because he campaigned in those states. Hillary campaigned for the outsourcing that screwed them over to begin with, while Trump railed NAFTA. That's a huge reason why Hillary lost. Bernie is anti-outsourcing, and he actually means it, which makes him more appealing than the dice roll that was Trump, that's what makes Bernie poll well when coal miners are still screwed over in 2019. --- ...
