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.

[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!

[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.

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.

[El Babua]

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.

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.   

[CatsCatsCats]

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

Okay. Terms?

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.

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

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 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.

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.

So apparently Rachel Maddow ran this segment about female donors to Democratic campaigns using misleading statistics that excluded any donations under $200.

[agrajag]

Are you fucking serious, mate? The tweet above is from a Sanders campaign staffer. With numbers.

[agrajag]

Thursday night on April 11, the Bernie Sanders campaign reached its 1 millionth individual donation! The original goal was to reach this amount during the first quarter, but during the first quarter the over 900,000 mark was reached instead. However, it didn’t take long to hit the 1 million mark after that.

According to Berniebag.com, the Sanders campaign surpassed 1 million donations at 1,000,626 as of April 11, 2019 at 11:01 pm EST.

Out of the $18.2 million raised during the first quarter: $2,039,800 were from people who gave between $200-$2799. $145,600 came from less than 53 people who gave the maximum amount of $2,800.

However, most of it came from small donations, with $16,016,000 coming from people who gave less than $200 total, which adds up multiple contributions a person may have had. Also, Bernie Sanders had around 525,000 different donors.

How is it strange? There are more poor people than rich people, bro.

And apology assepted, I may have overreacted as well. 

[agrajag]

more rich men than women? I don't know, but them's the numbers. Don't see anyone disputing them. The large donations account for a small percentage of total money raised, so there were probably more male small money donors than female anyway.

[team filler]

that's the goal of the democratic establishment to push through their guy

[Nintex]

Everyone: "Half of Trump's campaign team is in jail. Democrats can't possibly lose this!"

Sleepy Joe: "Hold my pillow"

[Boredfrom]

I don’t blame Trump for getting excited for your primaries.

[Nola]

Something like 85% of the donations to Bernie's campaign were under 200 dollars.

I don't think it is unreasonable to think there could be a pretty notable difference between the demographic distribution of those donating above and below that threshold.
