Just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing. It is understandably very hard to post something personal amongst all the shouting.
Public speaking terrifies people, but the honest truth is if you do it enough, almost anyone can become at least competent at it.
The thing is, most people don't have to, so people assume public speaking is this got it or don't skill.
I don't know if you're really actually disagreeing with me here. Biden has giving bad speeches so far in this race. Said things even his supporters probably agree he shouldn't have.
The thing is, he gave a pretty decent speech today, and people are saying that one speech came off as presidential.
If giving one good speech can make people think you got what it takes, then yeah, I think literally almost anyone can come off presidential.
Thank you for sharing this. Stories like yours show just how important this election is and how Trump being in office is literally a matter of life and death for many people. He has to be voted out, there are no excuses. It's why I get angry when people say they are going to sit the election out because Bernie isn't the nominee.
Please vote people, lives are depending on your vote and a non-vote is basically a vote for Trump. I am so sorry you have to be going through what you're going through, I pray we will be able to vote this despot out of office this November.
Bernie showing the type of leadership we need. Biden is inadequate for the crises we are facing and will continue to face.
Why Are Women Less Likely Than Men To Support Sanders?
After a stint as the Democratic primary front-runner, Sen. Bernie Sanders’s revolution is rapidly stalling. After a series of surprising losses on Super Tuesday…

I know I'm just getting my hopes up, but I wonder if this whole coronavirus thing will be enough to make people reconsider Sanders and his superior M4A plan. If he can really make a case for it in the next debate and do an amazing job at explaining why Biden's plan is insufficient, he might actually have a chance.

bernie wont win. if he did somehow it would be because biden would have to shit the bed at the debate or afterwards harder than anyone ever has before.
yes. with no audience.
My biggest fear about Biden was always that he'd fall apart when set against Trump in the general. As bad as it is though, the coronavirus is a massive stick to beat him with over and over. He absolutely should make use of it if Trump screws it up, as is unfortunately looking likely.
It still sucks that he isn't support a full universal healthcare plan though.

Biden really about to go on a stage in front of all of America at home sick and tell us Medicare 4 All is unrealistic. He will look like a fool. This virus showed how fragile our "normal" is.
The debate is going to make for a very interesting dynamic. I hope it can turn into a Bernie and Biden bash trump fest for 2 hours. I really don't think Bernie is going to ask more than what he said in his speech yesterday. He was basically giving Biden the questions.
Sanders should absolutely push this at the debate. To think about the cost of not having healthcare for Americans.
Yeah, it is absolutely highlighting how fragile our society is. How fragile our economic stability is. It really should be an eye opener to EVERYONE, but we still have people calling this a media hoax even now.
Fucking called it.
I knew Sanders bringing up establishment wasn't going to work.
I said it before, I will say it again. take the public option, its a major win. over reach and we get nothing. I get its not as fast as people want, but its still progress.
He has a less than zero chance. Next Tuesday is going to be a bloodbath.
His policies aren't the issue. Democrats broadly support them. Him being the messenger of them and the lack of specifics and belief in him paying for them/getting the legislation passed is the issue.
So far he has not come anywhere close to convincing people that he'd be able to effectively implement the change the majority of Democratic voters want to see.
Demonizing everybody else and burning bridges with those who he needs to work with eventually (among other things like ignoring reliable coalitions that he would need to elect him aka black voters) isn't something that people are willing to overlook.
The purpose of Bernie's questions, unlike questions from Chucklefuck Todd or CNN, are that they are fundamentally and deadly serious. Unless Joe's going to craft the biggest, most beautiful bullshit sandwich to every one of those, the truth is that he has no answer to them. He's never had an answer to them because they expose the fraudulence of his entire political career. It wouldn't matter if he was asked now or 3 years from now.
Does anyone know if Biden has any high profile fuck ups when exposed unfiltered to a national audience?
Seems relevant
Good speech from Bernie. That's what a real president sounds like. Contrast that to what the Orange Shit Stain gave yesterday. Sad so many people will happily settle for the status quo over someone who will actually fight like hell to make healthcare a right for everyone.
This is a good article, what the hell happen in Wash that caused women to say "Nah we won't be doing that today?"Why Are Women Less Likely Than Men To Support Sanders?

I mean women are the DNC, they are the staffers and boots on the ground. Being told to eat shit would make them feel a type of way. And who makes up the cor of the Democrat base, women.
I'm still catching up with the thread but I just want to take a moment and say thanks for posting this. I'm disabled and have anxiety disorders as well. Biden wasn't my pick either but a public option and lower drug prices will help people a lot more than 4 more years of Trump, to say nothing of other policies like ending cash bail and overturning marijuana convictions. Thanks for your voice.

I don't do this often, but the way that the tweet happens to cut part of Gabbard's head is *chef's kiss*
Saw both Biden's and Sanders' coronavirus speeches. Biden's was more of an "if I was Pres..." and Sanders' was more of a policy speech, but both were very good and obviously way better than anything we've gotten on this to date.
Starting with his speech the other night, Biden has definitely started his pivot to the GE.
"Rumored to" meaning "Axios put his name on a list of guesses with a bunch of other people."
Not even in the sections that say "advisers expect" or "campaign officials say". Just literally Axios' guesses.
Oh I see so this is one of those things where I state it as rumored and you go out of your way to explain what rumored means without addressing how horrible this would potentially be.
Rumors are meaningless if they don't have any basis. I also see you're not actually disputing the source.
Why not wait for official information before dooming and glooming?
Bernie is rumored to select the preserved corpse of Joseph Stalin as his running mate. We must consider this in our evaluation of Bernie because it's rumored!
Because I'm without insurance because I lost my job and I'm pissed at this country going through a medical crisis and still thinking this stupid fucking ACA plan that Biden has is the way forward. I'm fucking pissed at the voters in this country thinking this man with his questionable history on race, social safety nets, gender, etc is the person that we want leading this country at this time.
Do you think this is clever? What an appropriate username.
