After seeing shithole with 56% approval regarding the economy, CNN is subject to some bullshit . .

Other than that, good numbers for our side.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He did great at the NAN forum, She The People and the Workers Forum, released an incredible Climate Change Plan that doesn't ignore midwest farmers or coal workers. He's really the best all around candidate Democrats have.

Losing her as Senator is a non-issue since its California were talking about so being POTUS or VP is also not a problem.

Agreed Beto/Abrams would be interesting.

But some of the other Senate seats could go to Republicans if given up. That is especially true of Bernie Sanders. I lived in Vermont for many years and I know the politics there. Bernie initially got that seat because he was very well known and popular in Burlington politics, which is the largest population base in the state. Many people assume that Vermont is extremely liberal but it's actually a mixture. On some issues they are not liberal at all, especially on guns. When civil unions passed it was the only place in the country where you could carry a concealed weapon without a license while attending a civil union in a public building. If Bernie gives up that seat there is a very, very good chance it could go to a Republican.

All the candidate they polled, with the exception of Warren, defeat that fuck.

Brings weight to my opinion that the sole argument for Biden's candidacy is utter bullshit.

Thu May 2, 2019, 11:04 AM

that they are latching onto Biden because he was the VP for Obama and is the most logical default candidate. I think once people get to know Beto better and see him more and hear how unifying and inspirational he is that they will feel more secure about him as well.
