Arizona Man Dies After Taking Chemical in Coronavirus Treatment Touted by President Trump
Explain to me how Trump does not have blood on his hands.
He does, but its obvious Biden doesn't want to come off as overly critical during a crisis.
Also, weird example. The guy ate fish cleaner. There are better illustrations of how Trump's handling of the crisis is killing people.
Dude, you misread the post. Don't get upset with me.
It was a recent example specifically related to COVID and obviously yes people have died prior to this due to Trump's ignorance, are you kidding me? I even said that in this very thread.
If Biden doesn't want to come off as overly critical he is making a mistake.
Maybe, maybe not. It did seem weird when he was walking back such meager comments like Trump not acting presidential or being like a yo-yo during the MSNBC interview.
Or maybe there's just little to gain by being overly combative right now. I don't know.
The meagre levels of enthusiasm is very bad because when the general starts, it's not gonna be smooth sailing kid gloves criticism of Biden like it is now, Trump will be pressing Biden hard on his many weak spots and skeletons in his closet. Enthusiasm is not gonna spike, it could be a tough crawl to even drag it higher.
I feel there is a huge possibility his campaign staff themselves is wanting to hold things back a bit and have specifically instructed Biden to do so. I don't know either, but I feel like he should be full-force going after Trump's missteps as they happen, not later on as a collective. Hell, he can do both, but it doesn't excuse the avoidance now, in my opinion.
Actually it is when analyzing incumbents. Trump has numbers issues he shouldn't have at this point in time relative to other metrics that analyzed incumbents before the elections.Also, very little in polling right now is indicative of what will happen in November.
Why are Republicans who are by and large older enthusiastic about voting for Donald Trump?The thing about older folks is they don't have to be "very enthusiastic" to go vote. They just do. Only young people need to "fall in love" with a candidate to, perhaps, do their most basic of civic duties.

It's not just about young people falling in love.
It's about Joe Biden offering absolutely nothing to get excited about. He's old, he's most likely a rapist, and he has clip after clip of him meandering about, flubbing, and telling people not to vote for him.
I'm sure a lot of older people are cool about that all. Given how things have gone in this country, he's a perfect candidate for generations of Americans, but I think he will have a hard time getting a lot of other people to get out of bed or get out of their job to vote for him as Trump is painting Joe Biden's crimes as a cancellation of his own.
How was that working before all his moderate/conservative competitors all lined up to endorse him? He won that lane handily once everyone else bowed out. But how enthusiastic were people to vote for him when he was in 4th and 5th place in Iowa and NH.And yet Biden had higher turnout and exit polls showed people excited to vote for him. Sanders is point proven that enthusiasm for a candidate doesn't necessarily translate to votes.

You may be right. It will be portrayed as goofy for now, but once it's Trump vs Biden, the media has a really good way of pointing out hypocrisy when it wants to.I think you think people care more about this than actually do care about it. In the end, a lot of this stuff doesn't matter. Hillary was down right hated by a lot of moderates... Biden isn't. A lot of voters don't pay attention to the twitter takes, and Biden has zero to gain by making comment about Trump having blood on his hands.
The country is dealing with a pandemic.. now isn't the time to make claims about the president being responsible for killing people.

Joe won't be competing against a Commie in the Fall. Joe will be banking on older suburban voters voting for him over a conservative.
Saying Trump has blood on his hands is a hottake on Twitter kind of thing, not what we need from our candidates. The internet loves hyperbole. Trump has been horrible through all this... but I ain't getting mad at Biden for not agreeing to those words.
He's already criticized Trump's actions in all this.

While the exact reasons for why Sanders hasn't been able to get his core supporters to show up are varied and unclear, the response more often than not revolves around the idea that young people are lazy or apathetic. Less talked about are the specific voting barriers that young people might face when trying to cast their votes. These roadblocks are no accident: As The New York Times reported, in response to the surge of young voters in the 2018 midterm elections, Republicans in states around the country have systematically made it harder for young people to cast their ballots, and young people are taking notice.
"I think it's hypocritical accusing us of not being engaged politically when there are a lot of barriers to us voting," Winfield said.
Barry Burden, director of the elections research center at University of Wisconsin-Madison, told VICE that "voting rules are definitely a barrier" for young people. "Even a rule that seems neutral because it applies to everyone is often more consequential for a young person whether they're a student or not." As John Holbein, professor at University of Virginia and author of a recent book on young voting patterns, pointed out in a recent piece, young people are very much interested in politics, but "are much more likely than people over 30 to be derailed by obstacles."
That is what primaries are for. To pick the sort of vision of who the left leaning voters of the country want to have. And we saw the choice that the left half of this country made.Reality is calling bullshit on Biden. His platform doesn't provide the capacity to deal with wicked problems like we are seeing unfold. We need to go beyond the myopia of near sighted concepts of political pragmatism.

You know the isolation is getting to us when we start arguing over why a candidate won't use a certain phrase.
To be fair, Biden's popularity amongst Democrats hasn't changed over the past month though. You don't see any sort of sudden shift in support away from Biden to Bernie. Biden still holds a very large lead in Dem primary polling.Unfourtunantly the world drastically changed a lot the last 4 weeks, so we will have to live with the choice. Hopefuly BIden has what it takes.

It's systemic - an intended bug in the system - and a hell of a lot more complex than young people just being lazy/apathetic.
I believe the networks will do phone interviews when warranted. They did it for a few prior contests and the results proved accurate.Man, exit polls are going to be completely unreliable in a lot of the coming states due to the massive shift to mail in.
Young People Aren’t Apathetic. They’re Facing Major Voting Obstacles

Same with the poor and minority voting which also lags a lot, but thankfully at least Era is more watchful of the lazy rhetoric and browbeating against these groups than it is when it comes to the youth vote, even though the youth vote includes way more poor and minorities in its group compared to the wealthy, more white dominant older generations. In other words, mind your crosstabs.
Why Are the Poor and Minorities Less Likely to Vote?
Even when America's underclass isn't formally stripped of its ballot, a slew of barriers come between them and full representation and participation.www.theatlantic.com
But no, the 100K white vote just cares more about their country than the lazy young, the poor, and minorities in this country who just keep letting perfect get in the way of "good".
Those concerns are called principles. Like not electing a possible sexual offender. I don't know seems like important to have principles considering they want us to vote against Trump, or why vote at all if principles don't matter.

Matt was/is a Bernie supporter and wrote pro-Bernie editorials."I think it would be psychologically healthier for moderate media people who prefer Trump's re-election to the prospect of a Sanders presidency to actually say so, rather than doing months of weird concern-trolling about electability. "
See I can project thoughts onto other people too
Wait, you guys think "The President has blood on his hands" in the midst of the actual crisis is a good idea? Weird.

No he wasn't. Everyone was joking about him being a Bernie supporter. He was just making the case that Bernie would be the best person to make Matty's moderate stances palatable to leftists.Matt was/is a Bernie supporter and wrote pro-Bernie editorials.
