By Lunatic Go To PostTrust a CNN presidential poll again brehsI mean, polls this far out don't mean anything. Everybody knows that. We're 18 months away and the name recognition on most of those Democrats is probably super low and people are just picking D (unless it's Elizabeth Warren because she's a wacky socialist who has had the Fox Propaganda Network aimed at her for years).
By Punished Go To PostWonder how many people who voted Trump in '16 wouldn't in '20?
He's pretty far underwater on approvals in the rust belt.

CNN is graded an A- on 538. It's their horse race punditry that's garbage. The poll is early ... which was my caveat.
Not sure where you're going with the Hilary thing? My point was that head to head matchups against the opposition don't necessarily align with who makes it out of the primary.

Omfg .... trumpers are actually arguing that tossing Laura Loomer, chemtrail boy and some other nuts off social media is a civil rights issue. They’ve gone from 1st amendment to civil rights. What in the actual fuck

Sitting in her office with its panoramic view of the National Mall, Ms. Pelosi — the de facto head of the Democratic Party until a presidential nominee is selected in 2020 — offered Democrats her “coldblooded” plan for decisively ridding themselves of Mr. Trump: Do not get dragged into a protracted impeachment bid that will ultimately get crushed in the Republican-controlled Senate, and do not risk alienating the moderate voters who flocked to the party in 2018 by drifting too far to the left.🙄
“Own the center left, own the mainstream,” Ms. Pelosi, 79, said.
“Our passions were for health care, bigger paychecks, cleaner government — a simple message,” Ms. Pelosi said of the 40-seat Democratic pickup last year that resulted in her second ascent to the speakership. “We did not engage in some of the other exuberances that exist in our party” — a reference to some of the most ambitious plans advocated by the left wing of her party and some 2020 candidates, including “Medicare for all” and the Green New Deal, which she has declined to support.
I'm always surprised when I read the ages of US politicians for some reason. So many of them seem to be in their 70s.

The themes represent another fault line for a Democratic Party at an existential crossroads. After the surprise election of Mr. Trump, a sizable portion of Democrats began to voice concerns that the party’s embrace of gender and racial diversity had put it at odds with some of the electorate, and that Mr. Trump’s willingness to use racist and sexist political rhetoric had put Democrats at a disadvantage, especially in rural America or among Republican-leaning independents."And that's why we voted for Trump because reasons"🙄
“We were not heard in ’16,” said Patty Judge, a former lieutenant governor of Iowa who started an organization called Focus on Rural America. “People did not understand the frustration and the anger that is out there in rural Iowa.”

Funny you say that. Gallop (not Ras) has him sitting at 46% approval right now. Higher than Obama at the same point in his first term
Biden, like Clinton, is extremely vulnerable to Trumpian forms of faux-populist attack. He is a 36-year veteran of Washington who backed the Iraq War, cultivated close ties with banks and credit card companies and played a leading role in shaping the punitive policies that helped produced mass incarceration. As he did with Clinton, Trump can slam him on these issues and sow division among Democratic voters. It’s how he won in 2016 — targeting black voters with Clinton’s past positions to discourage and demobilize them. It worked. For all the focus on blue-collar whites, Clinton also missed Obama’s benchmarks with black voters. Had she reached them — or had she come close — she would be president.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/06/opinion/biden-electability.html
It’s possible none of this will touch Biden, for the simple reason that he is a man. And the gender politics that constrained Clinton’s career — that harmed her standing whenever she reached for national office — don’t apply to Biden. Unlike her, he may retain enough of an appeal to blue-collar whites and remain the most formidable challenger to Trump.
There’s another possibility — that those blue-collar voters are gone. That their shift away from the Democratic Party, which began long before 2016, is permanent. And that Biden’s personal appeal isn’t enough to reverse it. Remember, if he wins the nomination, Biden will represent a coalition defined by its racial diversity and gender egalitarianism. If the backlash to those forces is driving the Trump movement, then the candidate who stands for them will face the same reactionary fury, regardless of how well he plays blue-collar identity politics.
"But what about the blue collar workers?" is the new "economic anxiety".
These takes are so stupid and they're just thrown out there like they deserve any kind of credibility
You don't fight an extreme right Nazi party with a center-right Democratic party

Well hey fuck it if Biden can get the trash heap out of here cool

I know it's far off, but Polls like that really highlight the bubble that is online politics. Twitter / Forums etc don't represent the populace as a whole. People really feel comfortable with Ole Joe, Obama's right hand man. Similar to Clinton, Bernie will have an uphill battle in the primary with Minorities.
If anything the online bubble is what's gassing Joe lol.
The age of the people who actually remember Biden? They feel a hell of a lot differently than the people who know him only as Obama's cookout invite...

Maybe some left over 2016 BS. For a while the Bernie contingent would have taken Biden over Clinton even though they’re virtually the same.
There is zero enthusiasm for Biden online currently. At least from my perspective. He’s getting skewered by the left as a center right candidate and the right is calling him a socialist. Both people are skewering him over him being a touchy old man. The only people I’ve seen even remotely supportive of Biden are centrists like Jennifer Ruben. Yet ... there he is leading by large margins.
Fuck a couple months ago I posted a focus group of black women in the south and they were all brushing off attacks at Biden for his tough on crime shit. These were not millennial women
he's a new candidate so he's going through all the new candidate motions of excitement/dirt/fuck em/etc he just happens to be the only dem candidate worth talking about these past two weeks
