Bro why are you still trying to pretend he didnt describe sexual assault? Everyones heard the tape, everyones heard him say that he starts without getting consent. What do you gain by lying about sexual assault?

"Let" implies consent. And the way he said it, it was obvious they allowed him to do so because of his fame and wealth. It would be like saying "When you're famous, the restaurants let you take whatever table you want without a reservation". It implies better treatment because of status, not lack of consent.

This demo doesn't see a big difference between Bernie and Warren because they are safely insulated from the differences. They typically fetis***e highly educated women and go "ew" at a shouty old white man.

i'm pretty sure the reason we don't see a big difference between them is that none of the things you listed (for either warren or sanders) will be enacted if they're elected, because senate republicans will not pass any legislation that does it and democrats will not retake the senate, possibly ever again. at the current rate we'd need CA to split into 30 states, each with the population of a dakota, to have a real shot of holding the senate long enough to both pass and solidify real policy.

what we want is a responsible progressive in the white house who will appoint good judges that won't use originalism as an excuse to harm the spirit of the republic, and who will fix the damage done to the executive branch by trump and his appointees

if that's sanders, great

if that's warren, great

the perfect is the enemy of the good. i'd prefer bernie above all, but warren is an absolutely acceptable alternative to me and unlike bernie, she's written a great deal of legislation that describes what she'd actually be doing. sanders has done his due diligence in the area of greatest concern--healthcare--but not in others. i'd prefer both strongly above biden.

i'd prefer any of the three over trump.

also, i think it's clear that warren chose this offensive path in recognition that without it she'll likely continue to lose ground as establishment dems drop out and their supporters back biden/sanders. it's an effort to win over female voters looking for their next best choice. female voters who probably don't give a damn about policy if their preferred candidate was maryanne williamson.

i don't like it, but i support warren because i align with her on policies (many of which are not on your list), not because i think she is a wonderful person who i'd have brunch with. ditto for sanders.

That would probably produce way more red Senators than blue Senators. There's a reason why the two biggest pushes for Statehood are DC and Puerto Rico, and why you don't see very many attempts to split existing States.

The reason those movements exists is because they are popular movements for greater autonomy. I know of no serious popular movement to split new states off of existing ones.

thats entirely to do with local political machines, not because it would be worse for democrats (though it might be, idk)

this part is also wrong. only NE california (where <10% of its population resides) trended red in 2016

https://imgur.com/a/xI2Q11u

i chose california as my example specifically because the tendency to see urban concentrations of democrats with diffuse slight conservative majorities in suburbs and outlying regions isn't the case there. the sprawl and large number of edge cities surrounding their major population centers--and the high nonwhite population--makes almost the whole state blue

Senate seats aren't based on population.

Depending on where the hypothetical new states are carved out, it could get very interesting.

so the real move would be to split, like, the bay area into different states, one for each census tract or something

and then make the inland empire all one state

thats what youre saying right??

Last I heard, the idea was to slice the LA area (and then some) off, then split the rest in half.

If that's the idea, may as well break up California into a bunch city-states (and LA in to about a dozen), and dogpile sixty or so new sentators in there.

I mean, at that point, you may as well just abolish the Senate and fix the problem in perpetuity.
