"White guilt" is waiting until I get in the lyft to change to the Hip Hop station. You knew from my profile pic I was black, but you wanted me to see you do it.
And I just sit there smugly. That's right, pander to me.

If only this were the case :(
The woman who started that Colbert hashtag years back had a really great twitter thread about how awful guilt/shame were as motivators reflecting on various missteps she had made due to it.
All to be upended tomorrow.

Two things:
1) Too long. Terms like "wokeness" and "white guilt" take root in the first place to take complex social phenomena and condense them into terms that could be fit into conversation and were honest.
2) This is similar to the "why call it white privilege? That just makes white people angry," argument, in that ultimately, it has never really mattered what we call these things, when we're describing actual compulsions. "Woke" white people aren't going around doing over-the-top performative acts of contrition and self-flagellation because we called it "white guilt." The term was born to describe this behavior that already existed.
Bevin has problems on the state level that I don't think a lot here quite realize. He is doing everything to mobilize the rural folk because he has such problems, and whether or not it pays off is left to be seen but his 'throw everything at it' strategy right now does not suggest to me someone who feels confident in winning or even someone above water in internal polling.
Even if he does end up winning.

Man I missed when woke referred to the guy in the barber shop that sold bootleg dvds and talked about how Beyonce was part of the illumanti. Or the cousin that stopped eating pork because the man was using it to poison the black race. Now folks use woke like they are getting paid to say it
Great numbers for Warren. I think it is rapidly turning into a two horse race.
I JUST had this conversation!
'I feel like just 4 years ago "woke" was in reference to the brothas in suits selling bean pies on Sunday. Or the guy who had no less than 5 incense burning in his crib at one time, but you put up with it anyway because you heard from your friend that the brotha was good at...certain things.
I don't know when it became what it means today.
More fragile than your mother's favorite china. Jesus Christ. Go home and stay there.
Oh I was JUST thinking on when the new YouGov Battlegrounds poll was going to show up
:forma:
The 50 person debate will be a good test of Warren's first time in the lion's den as a front runner. Pete, Biden, and Tulsi will all be sniping.
:forma:
I assume that is trying to estimate with the 15% or cutoffs? That's super hard to estimate.
That's a terrible poll for him. Besides the fact it's a swing of 13%, 43% of Democrats believe he is too old. Democrats.
Surprisingly didn't go up by more.
At this rate I don't think we need to seriously worry about a brokered convention.
:forma:
This polling is hella interestng. Mandatory buybacks polling at 69% among Iowa Dems. Bernie at too old with 50% in Iowa.
You wouldn't think based on the amount of candidates still in the debates
UBI will probably poll pretty well overall by the time the primary's over. Probably already has amazing numbers with the youths.
That's only because the DNC is being ridiculously generous to hangers-on. If the polling threshold was even just 5%, even Buttigieg and Harris would have trouble meeting it now.
I know. It's just silly though. Perez needs to start putting his foot down
The DNC doesn't want Kamala missing debates but that basically means Yang and co. get to come on for the ride as well.
the fact that Steyer AND Gabbard made it to the next debate is embarassing
Eh, he went from +24 to +11. And that's just people who didn't feel uncomfortable saying it. I think it has damaged his campaign, but I think his campaign was treading water anyway. If you take a look at the sub samples, it's actually worse. 50% of Democratic voters in Iowa think Bernie is too old. In NH, it's 43% think he's too old. He does best in SC, at only 40% thinking he's too old. (Probably because the base is older in SC).
Surprisingly didn't go up by more.
Couple other things that stood out to me. In every single "early state" Warren's plans are seen as far more realistic than Bernies...even when the plans are pretty much the same. And I think that 100% comes down to how she talks about things. Bernie does his man screaming at the clouds. Warren tells a story. She weaves a narrative like a teacher would. She's a far better messenger for progressive ideas. Bernie's lead with young voters is only 2 in this poll. If that holds out, Warren is in GREAT shape here. And we see the same trend again--among voters over 65, Bernie is running 5th. Warren, though, has really, really improved with each age group. Her support is very wide. Also, I will say, the age demos in this poll are WEIRD. It's waaaaay too young. Even weighted, they have equal numbers of 18-29 and over 65. That's....never going to happen.
And if Warren is sitting at essentially half of the delegates after Super Tuesday. She will be the nominee. Once a candidate gets a lead of about 100 delegates, it's pretty much done. A lead of 143 after Super Tuesday and she's the nominee.
Surprisingly didn't go up by more.
this graph is a design nightmare.
the chronology
the left right orientation
the colors
Ya, uh, Kamala has nothing to do with the DNC not wanting to cut people out. It 100% has to do with appeasing the Bernie folk from 2016 who kept screaming RIGGED that there weren't 19 million debates. And now that we've had 19 million debates we've pretty much proven that...they don't change a whole lot. We were waaaay too worried about appeasing folks who would never be happy no matter what happened. Nothing of value is learned with 10 people on stage, 8 of whom have zero chance of being president.
Edit: Oh, I know what I wanted to mention. Take a look at the polls' information on issues that are most important. I obviously support impeachment. However, a lot of folks were claiming that if we don't do impeachment we're really going to harm ourselves with the base in 2020. The polling doesn't reflect that, btw. It's nowhere near the top issue for folks. So, while I think it's good for the country and good for us, I'm glad to see I wasn't totally wrong in the fact that impeachment was SUPER important for incredibly online folks, but less so for the bulk of primary voters.

Bingo.
Honestly, that Kamala came up here as a source of blame at all is...
i honestly think they do this on purpose.
even a child could graph something better
Yeah, it's trash. Honestly thought the numbers on the right were the most recent at first glance.
Yeah I mean it's pretty obvious these debate setups were a response to the "rigged" accusations of 2016. DNC went too far in keeping things open to appease some people who will never compromise or accept the fact they just got beat. These debates should be maxed out at like 5 people now. Or if you're going to have close to 10, the rest should be at a kids table.
O'Rourke. Now that's a name I haven't seen on a poll in a long time.
Not unexpected but still shitty to see. A pretty big black mark on trust in the US.
