like he's downplaying coronavirus because of its market effects

2020-02-29 17:51:13 UTC  

can't remember where i got this from

2020-02-29 17:51:28 UTC  

yeah but remember who trump ran against

2020-02-29 17:51:34 UTC  

the most reviled woman in America, on both sides

2020-02-29 17:51:42 UTC  

thats a sexist disgusting comment, yuck

2020-02-29 17:51:46 UTC  

and not a populist like Bernie

2020-02-29 17:51:58 UTC  

bernie is uncharismatic as fuck bro

2020-02-29 17:51:59 UTC  

Populism is the way to go to defeat trump

2020-02-29 17:52:08 UTC  

that's not really what populism means?

2020-02-29 17:52:12 UTC  

but i mean, he is charismatic

2020-02-29 17:52:14 UTC  

look at his support

2020-02-29 17:52:15 UTC  

maybe if it was obama speaking bernie's talking points

2020-02-29 17:52:16 UTC  

It's hard to be a populist when you have no charisma and are making the same mistakes other socialists have made abroad

2020-02-29 17:52:31 UTC  

Corbyn ran in a similar way to bernie and got absolutely swamped by the tory party here in the UK

2020-02-29 17:52:31 UTC  

Obama won because he ran on a lot of the shit that Bernie is running on

2020-02-29 17:52:40 UTC  

and once obama got elected, he betrayed his grassroots

2020-02-29 17:52:42 UTC  

not allowing gay marriage?

2020-02-29 17:52:45 UTC  

i agree

2020-02-29 17:52:49 UTC  

obama aint black

2020-02-29 17:52:49 UTC  

and that's part of why 2012 turnout was lower

2020-02-29 17:52:54 UTC  

obama is irish

2020-02-29 17:52:58 UTC  

Barry O'bama

2020-02-29 17:53:03 UTC  

so far, turnout has been higher in some regards than in 2008

bernie doesnt pull in any moderates and pushes away basic bitch democrats

2020-02-29 17:53:48 UTC  

There arent a lot of moderates anymore tho are there

2020-02-29 17:53:53 UTC  

tru

2020-02-29 17:53:55 UTC  

boomer dems, sans the hippies, are as conditioned to hating socialism as the republicans are

2020-02-29 17:54:06 UTC  

that's not reallllly true

2020-02-29 17:54:14 UTC  

the same %s of that generation are comparable to feelings about it with current gens

2020-02-29 17:54:34 UTC  

i guarantee dems would call bernie vs trump a election of 2 russian plants

2020-02-29 17:54:35 UTC  

maybe not the word itself, "socialism", but the policies themselves

2020-02-29 17:54:47 UTC  

they already did

2020-02-29 17:54:58 UTC  

Establishment Dems are just corporatists

2020-02-29 17:55:00 UTC  

Looking at the caucus votes and etc it's pretty obvious the moderates are a majority over the bernie supporters

2020-02-29 17:55:13 UTC  

If trump moved more moderate on the economy he could probably beat bernie fairly easily

2020-02-29 17:55:25 UTC  

but the difference is, moderates are not going to massively go and vote for Trump

2020-02-29 17:55:28 UTC  

and that's assuming buttigieg or some other moderate doesn't steal the place as nominee

2020-02-29 17:55:38 UTC  

moderate dems are a very weak base of support for trump

2020-02-29 17:55:44 UTC  

i guess they may stay home
