I do things that don't feel good all the time. Why do you need to feel good about voting. Suck it up, buttercup.

I mean, you ain't wrong. But we're talking about younger people. Meet them where they are rather than wishing on the equivalent of golden lamp that they were different. That's...kinda politics.
I should point out that getting young people to vote, is in fact possible. The truism that they don't vote isn't correct 100% of the time.
A recent example would be Malaysia. It took corruption on massive scale to get there but it happened.

Wait a minute, why isn't it happening in the US then?
They were previously an outlier on the low end for Sanders so maybe their read on his supporters is wonky (although this is about accurate for his support and seems to be under the margin for Warren).
Trump giving away secrets again. He's touring the wall progress in CA, and lets slip that the wall is also "wired, so that we'll know if somebody is trying to break through". He then asks the CBP guy to talk more about that, and he says, "Sir, there could be some merit in not discussing that." Idiot.
The good part is that Biden isnt rising, the bad part is that he really isnt dropping either
the morning consult polls seem to be the most accurate which is why they are so boring. Biden stuck in the low 30s while Bernie and Warren have 20% each

Have no idea what this is being based on lol.
The only real advantage I can tell they have is that they release something weekly, so people on here keep citing them.
Old enough to remember though when they were a rando newfangled online panel that no one trusted.
why are the Pete's and beto and the others still here
though there support will probably evenly go to the big 3 and not change the dynamics

Could be a variety of different ones.
Putin, Kim, MBS, Netenyaho, Bolsonaro etc.
Always with China, these people are straight clowns and are going to kill all of us
oh its an assumption with no real hard data to support. The top three generally have the same numbers as in most important pollsters so I thought "well that must mean something". I saw a bit of their metodology and thought that they were trustworthy, perhaps i was wrong
Hm, if his voice is raspy in the next debate as well then alarm bells will start to be ringed. Its hard bc things in Iowa and NH will be incredibly close so he needs to campaign a shit ton but this is where Warren being nine years younger comes into play. I hope that he can push through it.
Now for a MARK Judge, it's perfectly fine. He shoulda known that, but I thank him for keeping his rapey, endebted ass in the news.
True, lol
But this drip...drip...drip... is like that 1st Trump Tower Meeting rollout, where giving them rope to hang themselves before the 26th is benefitial.
I wonder if we should make voting mandatory. And then make voting last a week. And then make it so that there is no in-person voting, only mail voting, so it's all paper.
Forgive me from assuming that this voter tangent came about from yet another moderate-aligned "young people have to suck it up" tirade in response to our slow incrementalism maybe, just maybe, affecting a small portion of a small voting base in a negative manner. And then trying to refocus it to what actually matters.
But continue on railing against teenagers and early 20 somethings that number insignificantly compared to old white moderates - the base that seems to always escape by in these talks and discussions because they're the ones that actually matter in our democracy. Can't scare them off with policies that the youth like because....well they might not vote either, or worse and typically, vote for those who are seeking to destroy our democracy.
But whatever, I don't care. Carry on.
Kamala Harris bets it all on Iowa to break freefall
Hopefully this means that if she finishes 4th or worse, she bails and endorses and isn't stubborn.

Why not in person with paper ballots?
Also, just convert Columbus Day to "Democracy Day" and have voting go from the previous Saturday to that holiday Tuesday.
Because then there are no people harassing you outside the doors to vote a certain way or intimidate you.
Eh, there are already rules against that, but JUST mail in ballots would scare me. I like in person paper, or mailed paper. We can have both.
If she bails, I could definitely see her endorsing Biden to try to get that VP slot.
Voting is mandatory in my country and its a mixed bag. I am happier than it is though, as otherwise a lot of rural voters would just stay home and our democracy would be even shakier.
I am from Louisiana so you bet your ass I am going to be voting this coming November (for governor). Lots of big ones on the ballot including the race for Mayor in New Orleans where I am from.
As far as voting goes.. I feel like two major changes have to take place. Election day has to be a federal holiday and no excuse for it to not be one. And secondly, you should be registered to vote automatically upon having your citizenship/driver's license etc. I can't tell you how many people I know who went to vote on election day and had to go back because they weren't registered. There should be less hurdles to voting.
Wouldn't really be against mandatory voting but that has little chance of ever passing.
I'm still pissed that there was no whistleblower for the medical deferrals for deportation, but there's a whistleblower for Trump promising to have lunch with a foreign leader.
(Yes I know it's likely a promise for something far more serious than that - Rep. Garamendi on Maddow suggesting that it's possible it's related to the money moves out of the protect-Europe-from-Russia fund and into the "wall" fund).

Nah. But it might be someone processing notes or call transcripts in Intelligence.
I agree with her though, she might not want to impeach but they should have held Corey in contempt
you can tell she's not being serious because she's saying this to the press
edit: im realizing my mistake here

I hate that I could totally see this happening. Granted I'm not entirely sure how effective Kamala's endorsement for Biden would be at that point if Warren wins Iowa in a blowout or something.
The other two for not showing up, sure. But they got him to contradict himself, admit to lying, and more bits about how trump camp plans on defending themselves. They can save the first face-to-face contempt call for someone even closer to Trump.
