Giddyup always does this sort of thing. Criticize a Democrat and you must love Republicans.
Don't forget the people negatively affected by Reagan and Bush 1 and 2. There is no denying that this country has eaten itself over the last 40 years but this is Donald Trump we are talking about here.
I do agree with you on Biden though and I hope his history is carefully debated by the candidates in the primaries. But, and it is an apologetic but, I cannot sit it out when the alternative is someone like trump.
Except for when voting day comes. I believe in picking my battles and to fight a Senate or house under Republican majority or slim minority is infinitely harder when you don't hold the white house.
I have no time for Biden but as I say, if the alternative is trump then I know what the safest bet for my family is.
Anyone can be spontaneously framed as a paedo or have a me too magically ginned up when they lead Sanders by double digits in the polls. It’s how politics works these days - you find ways to bring your opponent’s numbers down by any means necessary, which in turn suppresses their vote and gives you a chance to frame yourself as the more viable alternative. Trump going negative on Hillary was a masterclass in cynicism which has apparently now been adopted by the left as well.
Trump getting elected again. The more you try the more you'll be pissed off in the end. Sit back and let the world burn, you can't stop it anyways.
Deride the Republicans to your heart’s content, but what’s the use of electing Democrats when they do shit like this?
The people of Nevada held firm for Harry Reid in 2010, they turned out for Clinton in 2016, they gave Democrats both a Senate seat and governorship in 2018, all for what?

As opposed to what good old days?
It's crazy that Hillary Clinton didnt have a "metoo moment ginned up" by Bernie Bros. After all, she led him in the polls. Maybe its because she wasnt someone who touched multiple women inappropriately and made them feel uncomfortable.

Line around the block to see Bernie. Most diverse crowd I seen at a political event Bernie volunteer wearing a United track jacket from United Palace match
Just don't use that as a proof of multi cultural support for Bernie Sanders in all arguments
cool.
Compared to all the lobbyists at Biden rallies.
Still think it is Bernie's to lose. Want to see what the Corporate DNC will do to disenfrancize Bernie voters.
How you feel about Mayor Pete, RD?
It’s currently Biden’s to lose since he seems up by like 20 points.
I want to be Bernie Sanders. If I lose, it's the Corporate Dems. If I win, it's me.
..until the debates and we see Biden has no clothes.
Nothing. Nor would Sanders. The GOP would block most of either’s policies, in fact more so with Sanders than Biden.
Warren seems to match up well against Biden. I like her chances if they happen to get paired on the same night.
Joe Biden is not a poor debater...
I meant he has no policies to run on.
Look at what happened in 2016. Trump trounced the other Republicans because they offered the same ol stuff. But no substantive policy ideas. Ok. Trump lied. He also brought out of the shadows anti immigrant feelings that the GOP had fanned.
Hillary. No change. Every election is a change election.
Elections generally aren't won on policy proposals, but on charisma.
Warren is more direct than even Bernie on matters of the filibuster. She will be formidable.
I like her honesty.
For me it is Bernie or Warren.
I don't really follow American politics much - what are the chances of trump getting another run as the leader? Is he viewed by the population to be doing well or not so good?
In the past perhaps. Voters are addressing pressing needs now.
Health Care and Climate change are critical.
Importantly Younger voters are participating more.
Bernie will not throw up his hands. The filibuster for judges was removed. The next will be for key matters like Health Care.
the burden is just too great with wages also staying flat at best.
Trump is extremely unpopular. I think The Democratic nominee will win.
But the key is he or she must deliver. 4 more years of lip service will bring forward another crazy.
The country is at the brink.
the sad thing is people on either side want the same thing and neither party is honest enough to deliver.
Both parties are owned by corporations.
Thanks mate.
I am baffled honestly by centrists saying we should vote against Trump...but in the same breath saying not much can be done.
What motivates people to rush to the voting booth.
Many people don't bother because they see how little things change.

He's the favourite but he's already in August 2016 Hillary mode - avoiding rallies and crowds, only going to fundraisers.

Isn't it early though?
Sure, but he announced, had a big rally, and then mostly disappeared.
As I said, he's the favourite now, clearly. But hiding didn't work out so well for Hillary in 2016.
Trump is obviously the main priority this cycle. You have to stop the bleeding before applying long term care.
Yep, I agree. And I don't think its a layup by any means. I think Sanders does have a chance (gulp). But I just don't think that its going to be because come debate time, Biden will be some sort of stammering and insecure figure that is out of his depth because he says that he wants to expand ACA's mandate vs single-payer, for example. The man's been doing this for a long time and is somewhat a natural.
You don't put a bandaid on cancer.
Annoying as it may seem, the reason why Trump's base is so energized is because the Dems have done nothing to show them they are actually going to do anything.
Centrists may not like it, but Bernie resonates with Trump supporters needs. Because he actually offers policies that help them.
The Electoral College favours the Dems, especially with a candidate that is not as toxic as Hillary was. Which is why I say a Democratic win is likely.
But that does not change long term results.
