Oh no, what will Democrats do if they dont suck Wall Streets dick?


Lose

Although Hillary lost even with Wall Street so I guess that's kind of a moot point.

Basically Bernie and to a lesser extent Warren.

Although Warren has more money and bigger donors than you'd think

"Hey people who wanna vote Warren! If you vote for Warren you'll be doing so without the support of Wall Street!" is not the threat they think it is.

The most ironic thing about Wall Street being so obsessed with Trump is that Trump himself wasn't really all that helpful to Wall Street. Honestly, Wall Street owes more to Bill Clinton than any other president.

Hence why a lot of Democrats were not all that convinced when Hillary promised regulation. All of her donors were basically financial institutions and law firms.

Could be a 5D chess move endorsement of Warren over Bernie, since her campaigns are backed by raytheon and pharma leading her to be a lot squishier. I believe she'd obviously still be bad for them but I think they see the writing on the wall that Biden, Delaney, and Buttigieg types are dead in the water. They can't force us into selecting a card from a stacked deck like previous elections.

No it's not. We need comprehensive and robust plans for fighting climate change and fixing healthcare. Bernie is the best candidate. Followed by Warren who is gaining ground. Ideally Bernie would win since imo his climate plan is way better.

Fuck Trump. There are no good R candidates.

I wanted 2016 to be a boring generic race between Hillary and Jeb! or Rubio

A boring election where I could geek out about political stuff and bring my family and friends updates because I'm the only who cares enough to pay attention to everything

Trump robbed me of that and I'll never forgive him for it

I know, right?

2012 was an election that actually had normal, boring debates. Discussing actual issues.

I miss those times. Reading Nate Silver, talking about strategy, etc.

2004 was a pretty fun election too.

We really should be careful not to conflate Sanders and Warren. Warren's pulled some kinda sleazy shit this cycle, she's been really shaky on M4A, she favors means-tested solutions over universal ones, etc. There is only one America's Dad, Bernard Sanders.

Warren stands to gain more than anyone if this Ukraine thing brings down both Trump and Biden, or even just Biden.

Yeah, lots of people(especially liberals) like to pretend as though Warren and Sanders are interchangeable on policy, but if you bother to actually dig into it, you find that, on virtually every front, Sanders is significantly to Warren's left. His proposed policies are bigger, bolder, and broader. You can make the argument that Warren's policies are more possible, but I would counter that by acknowledging the framing that something is impossible, you are, in effect, insuring that it isn't! If it comes down to it, I'm sure Bernie will compromise, but I know he'll fight for the best possible compromises in a way Warren is already signaling that she won't.

Also, it bears mentioning, since this is something that's basically never discussed, but they're night-and-day on foreign policy. Warren is extremely orthodox in that sense(and possibly even more pro-Israel than normal), whereas Sanders, for example, seems deeply skeptical of our "special relationships" with Israel and Saudi Arabia and is very dovish across the board.
Basically, anyone whose conflating them is either misinformed or gas-lighting.

He's great with statistics, but can't seem to make basic connections like "polling at 1% = probably not very electable."

It's worth mentioning he said in 2012 he was probably going to vote for Gary Johnson.
Also, he spent basically the entire 2016 primary campaign insisting Trump couldn't win the Republican nomination for ~reasons~ and is weirdly insistent that Amy Klobuchar is super electable because ???
He's really good with numbers, but he's bad as a pundit, even compared to other pundits.
