We all know what the play is. The next time (probably on a debate stage) someone brings up the poor behavior of Sanders' supporters online, Bernie will pivot to this. (That's not to say what she said is acceptable. It's not. She should never be allowed back on CNN ever again, but the play is to paint her as some kind of Biden surrogate so you can deflect to this. It's the Bernie play book.)
I mean i can point out the obvious fact her electability argument is literally counter to reality right now. Call it whatever you want.
She's basing her argument on actual data, especially with regard to the latino vote which IS a core constituency that cannot be ignored. She's also right on independents according to polling we have.
Yes and when i look at what happened on Super Tuesday with all that wonderful data i see Biden as the guy that drew up turnout and new voters, along with succeeding pretty handily in key swing states, while Bernie couldnt draw out his base. Thats some good data too.
But that doesn't contradict AOC's points! The bulk of Biden's base will turn out anyway because they're largely reliable voters - Sanders's base less so. She also has doubts Biden can turn out as many latino voters, which again, is a valid concern.
Don't know what need you are referring to, i'm usually supportive of her, but when i see her saying Bernie is more electable, i go 'lol'.
I'm leaning toward that these are new primary voters, but people who always show up for the general
She's a campaign surrogate and it's perfectly normal for her to make that argument. That reaction would be warranted if she didn't base her concerns on any data, but she did, so outright dismissing it is condescending.
I'm calling the police....unless you brought some for the whole class.
That's probably the most cogent argument I've ever seen anybody make for supporting Bernie.
When Bernie gets attacks re: his supporters it's perfectly fair game to flip it and show supporters of other candidates can be just as bad if not worse!
My guy, open the mentions of prominent leftists and tell me you don't see different flavours of Rosenesque rhetoric all over them — Bernie doesn't have a lock on internet shitheads
I was planning to camp so I at least avoided that expense. Already purchased flights however and was waiting on the rental(prices have been dropping like crazy for W1 timeframe). This is a mess.
She still was talking down to Turner to support Biden. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask Biden to denounce her behavior.
I mean she probably believes what she is saying, maybe, but the point really is its after significant voting has happened in more diverse states, and all i see is Bernie really really turning off older voters and not elevating his youth vote, along with almost everyone else endorsing Biden. So as things stand now, electability arguments are not in Bernie's favor.
You can disagree with her on whatever point she's making but she's not lying in any way, just focusing on a few facets of the electability argument she considers to be important.
You are a fun person to talk with. I didn't ignore the Irish origin of the phrase, I merely pointed out another. Wonderment provided a third. Yes, my evidence is anecdotal. I tend to take to heart what my friends tell me is problematic phrasing rather than rushing to the Internet to disabuse them of the notion they should be offended. Perhaps for your homework assignment you should visit a synagogue and throw the phrase around. Maybe it will mean nothing.
Primaries don't always translate well to the GE and there's a plenty of historical data showing this.
I have asked you in the past! Let's be real, it's because I made fun of that terminator debacle, wasn't it?
I don't ever remember you asking.
Well, I did your work for you
Oh well at least you don't have to deal with the rental. Ours is non refundable so I'll be in the desert regardless.
Of course they should reach out better to us. They made their first attempt before South Carolina by declaring they'd put a moratorium on deportations on the first day.
