All purpose news and politics thread part v: The quickening

[TheDarman]

I thinks it's important to not judge all Sanders supporters based on the actions of what's likely a small percentage.

The issue is that a lot of the guys making these dubious claims are high level, senior staff in his organization. It is one thing for a guy on Twitter that follows his name with “#FeelTheBern” to say this stuff. But it is dangerous when it can be weaponized. For the record, I also said it was irresponsible for Buttigieg to say that Democrats need to get smarter on the deficit especially when the last two Democratic Administrations have been the only ones to reduce it from the time they entered to the time they left office.

Funny how no one here has mentioned Biden talking 7 minutes total yesterday at his event.
"We can not get reelect-- um we can not win this reelection. Excuse me. We can ONLY reelect Donald Trump."

Thanks for proving his ultimate point about dishonesty and creating a circular firing squad though.

Biden is in all probability the nomination. You will have to decide if you want to help him or Trump.

Ted Cruz is self quarantining because he shook hands with the person who tested positive for the Coronavirus at CPAC.

Still had three gaffes in one sentence.
Still was there for 7 minutes.
They changed the debate to a town hall meeting because he's incapable for debates anymore.

Biden is gaffe-proof. Which is something that has been known for a couple of decades at the least.

Trump is gonna dunk him so hard if he's the nominee, like he already has and it's game over.

Sanders flubbed his front runner status in record time, and you think he's going to save us from Trump? The attacks against Sanders write themselves.

Yeah, he can actually speak unlike Sleepy Joe.

We all know he has a speech impediment.

And I think the town hall setting was changed because a lot of people complained debates weren’t conducive to learning more about how the candidates think through policy. How many times, as president, do you debate someone? You mostly speak, in long form or in town hall settings, to discuss your plans. Still, there is more to that than there is to most DNC conspiracies shared on this thread, so I’ll give it that.

But the point of the matter is you either ignorantly or knowingly spread misinformation on the thread to hurt a nominee that you think is weak. If he was so weak, we wouldn’t have to resort to deceptively edited footage to make him look bad.

That's great. I'm tired of candidates and Presidents who drone on and on. I'd love to have a State of the Union that clocks in under 15 minutes. Of course, the Republican response would probably vamp for 45 minutes, but what can you do, right?

[TheDarman]

I honestly don’t think you’ve seen Trump talk outside of sound bites on the news if you truly believe that Trump speaks coherently.

Jesse Jackson endorses Bernie Sanders for president

Hmmm, I didn't expect that.

All jokes aside the only Dem I wouldn't vote for is Bloomberg because I think he is an insincere opportunist. While I fear some of his hardcore supporters I think Sanders means well not so Bloomberg who was only in it for the power and bargaining rights, IMO. Biden I'll vote for too, so I'm fine either way now.

Speaking is useless when its limited to boiler plate speeches only his entrenched fan base cares about.
