General Politics Discussion (VI) [ARCHIVED] • Page 351

The last time I remember going to Staples I dipped in real quick on the way to a job interview because I realized the folder that I had tucked my résumé and paperwork into had the place I was currently working at on it and that seemed like a faux pas. Does anyone get excited by Staples? I mean, aside from those psychopaths in that video, obviously.

 

We use staples where I work and the new branding and everything has also gone along with rises in prices and messing with the rewards program, so I sadly know more about it than I’d like.

 

Justice Department Warns Academy: New Oscar Rules 'May Raise Antitrust Concerns'

 

Oh, so no apology. Weak.

 

Joe Biden just straight up sucks. Can he and Cory Booker have a loser leaves the Democratic Party match or something and they both get counted out and lose.

 

Very curious to see what happens to the polls should Biden exit (he should)

Granted, they don't count for much right now.

 

Biden's numbers being so high really do make it seem like an exercise in futility even discussing who is in the running until he officially joins the race or drops out. I am very curious about how everyone else's numbers look should he drop out. Does Bernie get a massive bump and become the clear front-runner, or is it more spread out than that among some of the other people. It is just that Biden and Bernie are so different.

 

I would assume a lot of Biden's core supporters would migrate to Beto.

 

Pretty sure polling indicates that Bernie takes a good amount of Biden’s base if he drops out

 

Top ten reasons we didn't show up today:

 

The POV I have is that a lot of Biden people are the same Hilary people who just hate Bernie and blame him for her loss so I think they'd move on to Beto or maybe even Harris

I could be way off from what polling says just my view on who i've seen as being Biden supporters irl

 

Democratic Voters’ Second Choices Show How Fluid The 2020 Primary Race Is

The first lesson from this table is that early primary polls are, in large part, driven by name recognition. At this stage, voters may have only heard of a few of these candidates, and chances are two of them are Biden and Sanders (who are the two best-known candidates in the field). So of course they are a respondent’s second or third choice (if not his first).

 

Basically everyone still loves old white guys

 

I see the numbers on that table, it just doesn't make sense to me. I can see Biden supporters going to Beto, but Biden supporters to Bernie seems like a stretch. I suppose I may not be lending enough weight to pure name recognition.

 

The drama

 

Solid article from David Klion on GG and the Mueller stuff

 

Good on him for saying he's not afraid. That shit is fucking terrifying. That is clearly the sound of a very stable individual who just wants his guns for hunting.

 

I’m Voting For Bernie Sanders Unless Another Candidate Proves They Have More Swords Than Him

Neo-Nazi who said homosexuality was 'unnatural' revealed as paedophile who groomed young boys

I am shocked.

 

Because they didn't know it was happening, were at work, couldn't vote because of bs requirements, gerrymandering etc. the volume was just less, a lot less are going to take off for one local election in comparison to a midterm. That being said a lot of people did vote, in a state that wasn't so fucked voting wise it would've been enough to overcome the slim margin.

Also, judge elections generally go out of their way to attempt to be as far and unbiased as possible. Dems are really bad at scaremongering in comparison to fucking Scott walker who kept posting about it for the last two weeks to remind GOP voters.

 

They technically have it but the GOP is constantly trying to weaken it

Lame-duck limits on early voting - and the arguments for them - resemble ones already rejected by a judge
