How is this big? Does she really have that much of a national base?
I remember during one of the Republican debates in 2015 they asked all 79 candidates as a closing question what their Secret Service code name would be.
Like, fucking who cares.
All the actions that crowd has taken and you still havent realized they arent interested in winning elections?
You can certainly cut them out of your life. Just cause you share blood with someone doesn't mean you have to put up with their bigotry.
He'll be dead within 10-20 years, but she won't. AOC is clearly more interested in pushing demsoc than in bending the knee to liberalism, and throwing Bernie overboard would undercut that.
the only way you can tell a story about having lunch with ted cruz and look like the good guy is if it ends with "but i sadly missed my chance to garrote him before we departed"
Best means most likely to win. AOC doesnt care about winning competitive elections.
Truth. Bernie has some glaring blindspots, but he is still much better than anyone else on the field, including Warren.
He's an NJ dem. He wouldn't have even gotten off the ground as a republican.
I think that Bernie losing support is necessary for Warren to beat Biden, and so I'm somewhat unhappy with AOC's move. But I can't really fault a person for endorsing the person with whom they most align, even if it isn't necessarily strategically optimal.
Neither of them is perfect, though? But yes, she's better than Bernie on social issues, and has far less baggage. If she were in the race I would prefer her over Bernie... but she's not, and so he's the best choice.
Warren supporters won't give her nearly as much shit for not endorsing her than the shit Bernie supporters would've given her if she didn't endorse him.
It's a calculated risk. Bernie's unlikely to win and AOC isn't popular in many of the early states, and this is too far out any way to matter down the road. And I think AOC knows this, but I think she gets to help Bernie out after the heart attack, preserves her image as a "true revolutionary", and Warren likely will get her endorsement after Iowa.
The AOC endorsement is cool because Trump might, as a result, pick a fight with Bernie. And when that happens, Trump will feel the Bern for real
Well:
With dems:
47/7% favorables, 44% don't even know she exists.
I can't imagine there being a similar discussion at Republica debates.
Some people can. Not everyone has the priviledge of being able to cut out their entire support network from their life. Plenty of young people need to live with their parents, or be on their insurance, or a litany of other things. There are so many posters here that have talked about the struggle of having to live with or otherwise be tied to racist or bigoted or emotionally abusive parents.
But what specifically does that mean? The original ruling was great in that it established a right to abortion but it's actual trimester logic and everything else about is not great and is why it's been possible to chip away at it in the first place. So to say you're codifying it...what does that specifically mean? It sounds to me like they're saying "codify Roe v Wade" because they don't want to take a hard stance on what they believe abortion rights should actually be.
