The New Yorker buying an ad on The Majority Report with Sam Seder is some funny shit.

Millennials who think that times are tough in 2018 have no room to complain, according to former Vice President Joe Biden, who said that he had “no empathy” for young people who compared today to the struggles of the 1960s.

“The younger generation now tells me how tough things are—give me a break,” said Biden, while speaking to Patt Morrison of the Los Angeles Times to promote his new book. “No, no, I have no empathy for it, give me a break.”

Anywhere content flows—which is just to say the whole internet—is infected with lies and inventions meant to make you distrust anything as a possible lie or invention. If that doesn’t scare you, then you’re a fool. But if it does, well, that’s the point.

Who does this author remind me of?

He could have saved everyone a lot of time and effort and just instead linked to whichever Adam Curtis video clip that inspired his article.

[shosta]

He's putting up some damn impressive numbers despite all the progressive smears. The super PAC money is working, for now at least.

It's not the PAC money. Biden represents a safe choice for the many people who don't want Trump in the white house but are scared of Bernie. It's like actually voting for Obama for a third term. Normal people don't pay attention to the news and even if they do they're not going to care that he crosses some social boundaries. The polls don't matter much to me until the debates start happening.

[Mandark]

Biden and Bernie are the top second choices of each other's respective supporters.

[Himu]

My worry is that so far biden's making a lot of Hillary Clinton-esque statements that show an apathy to people that come to him. Yet he expects you to vote for him. I said this on Glenn's facebook, but the Democratic Party "I'm chosen" "I have this in the bag and don't have to work for it" "It's guaranteed Biden will get the nom";etc that golden girl/boy thing that did Clinton in 2016 is the last thing we need right now and yet many Biden supporters and Biden himself are falling for it already. This stupid ass "Trump is grass in 2020 and we're going to smoke him" under estimating Trump thing as if anything is guaranteed is precisely why Trump won in 2016. And yet here we are in 2019 with Biden making arrogant statements, his supporters saying he's "guaranteed" to win. It's like they learned nothing from 2016 are still underestimating Trump. Right now Biden should be trying to get as many young people to vote him as possible. Instead, we have him saying the shit in the article I quoted above.

Why do Demorats do this? Why do they think they're guaranteed?



My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

[shosta]

Biden and Bernie are the top second choices of each other's respective supporters.

Bernie is the second choice for only a third of Biden supporters. I know there's a significant overlap between the two demographics, and that might have a lot to do with the "this is a white guy who isn't talking down to me" factor, but I'm just saying why Biden has so much more first-pick support from people than Sanders does.

[Mandark]

Biden said that last year before he'd decided to run or hired any advisors who could tell him not to say things like that.

He shouldn't need someone to explain to him that's a dumb thing to say.

Well this is a guy who's run for president twice already and dropped out before New Hampshire both times.

[Mandark]

Bernie is the second choice for only a third of Biden supporters.

That would be a bigger chunk than the part of the overall electorate who's picking him first.

Lol, just noticed this. Bernie is the girl you'd date but wouldn't marry.

[kingv]

Imo Biden’s biggest problem is that he sucks whenever he opens his mouth.

Everybody knows who he is. He’s basically the Democratic Rick Perry, and imo that gravity will eventually catch up with him and make this a race.

[shosta]

I'll make a bet with someone here that he wins the primary. Mandark gets to set the spread.

Bernie Sanders is a thot 

[Tripon]

What's so different about Biden in 2020 that won't cause him to fall on his face like he did in 1988 and 2008?

[agrajag]

I'd marry Bernie.

Okay. Terms?

I win if Joe Biden (born November 20, 1942) is the democratic nominee for president. You win if any person other than Joe Biden is the nominee. It does not matter if the convention is brokered. I think the wager should be $300.

[Mandark]

let's make it interesting

if shosta wins, nintex is permed

if cats³ wins, someone makes eric p come back and post again

[Mandark]

also it's complete and utter horseshit that shosta gets someone to take a wager in under an hour the first time he tries on this forum

if DC rent really is that high, you should just commute from Arlington or something

[Mandark]

smh shosta's unwillingness to stand by his posts for more than 30 seconds renders half the replies into non sequiturs

[shosta]

I'm extremely impulsive 

actually, this bet might be further evidence of this

[team filler]

slut

[Mandark]

Between taking 50:50 odds on Biden when you could get like 3:1 on Predictit and suggesting I save money by moving to Arlington, I'm beginning to suspect you're not the world's greatest money manager.

Better put Bernie on the ticket this time.

polls are a useful tool for the establishment. according to the polls hilldawg is president right now, won 3 years ago in a landslide 

[CatsCatsCats]

Yeah I thought it was going to be a fun forum bet but do you really want to offer a bet at basically far below the going rate? Cuz idk, might just call you on that

[CatsCatsCats]

Filler could you save me a step and just start posting directly on predictit? Thanks

[james]

I'll make a bet with someone here that he wins the primary. Mandark gets to set the spread.

It smells like poliera in here

[team filler]

at this moment all I can offer are my likes 

[shosta]

Ok, I checked predictit and biden's at 28 cents. So why don't we just make it 2:1? That's a better deal than market.

[CatsCatsCats]

Maybe Mandark will lock that down with ya

[shosta]

just help me lose money

[Mandark]

A Vegas resident desperately trying to make below-odds political bets with posters on a homoerotic splinter forum is the most ass backwards gambling addiction I've ever heard of.

I'd marry Bernie.   

I hope you think long and hard about his old man balls and constant old man farts and you'll hear "huh" after every sentence you make, you know he'll never listen to anything you're saying and just keep talking over you, likely the type who would put used tea/coffee bags right on the counter despite there being a trash can 5 inches away and ask you to help him with something on the computer then stand behind you and tell you what to do the whole time.

Tell us how you really feel, friend

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/democracy-dollars-gillibrand-s-plan-give-every-voter-600-donate-n1000381

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., unveiled a plan on Wednesday to give every voter up to $600 in what she calls "Democracy Dollars" that they can donate to federal candidates for office.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News to discuss the roll out of her first major 2020 policy initiative, Gillibrand said her "Clean Elections Plan" would help reduce the influence of big money in politics.

"If you want to accomplish anything that the American people want us to accomplish — whether it's healthcare as a right, better public schools, better economy — you have to take on the greed and corruption that determine everything in Washington," she said.

Under Gillibrand's plan, every eligible voter could register for vouchers to donate up to $100 in a primary election and $100 in a general election each cycle, either all at once or in $10 increments to one or more candidates over time. Each participant would get a separate $200 pool for House, Senate and presidential contests for a total maximum donation of $600 for those federal offices.

There would be strings attached for both donors and candidates. The money could go only to elections in the donor's state, although they could be used for House candidates outside the voter's district.

Politicians would face much tighter limits on donations. To be eligible to receive "Democracy Dollars," a candidate would have to voluntarily agree to forgo any contributions larger than $200 per donor. That’s a big drop from the current maximum of $2,800 per primary cycle and $2,800 for the general election.

thanks for the thought Gilli, but I prefer Yang Bucks

That bitch Hillary cost me serious money on Predictit.


Shosta, I will take you up. $10 that Biden is not the winner.

If I win, you give me $20 and get Cream unbanned again.

Ripping off Yang's policy outright must be a low point for any presidential aspirant's campaign. Hope she comes out with Gillibrand bucks next.
