Hahah. Susan Collins' level of concern rising.

[team filler]

like war journalism, gambling or collecting golf memorabilia, politics is for perverts.

i'm pretty sure shosta likes at least 3/4 of those.

first filler, now you - why can't a young man follow Bellingcat in peace?!

I am 100% certain that if Sanders had run against Obama and had the same fan base, several posters in this thread would have been dropping hard R n-bombs.

The majority of the active userbase of this thread are thoroughly detestable people.

Please drive to the nearest active train track and lay down in front of an oncoming train, you rancid lemming.

  Goddamn you are salty over that PM. I have never seen someone react with this much vitriol to a single throwaway message. Is it because I mentioned jail? Sorry dude. Like legit, I could have gone with something less personal.

Killer Mike would've called Obama a house N.

What happens to those Bloomberg NDA's now? Guess no-one cares no more

There is something psychologically wrong with me where I begin to like posters more, the more hated they become.

We have this tendency in common. I’ve always had a soft spot for you, TA <3

It didn’t apply to Assi, though. But filler, etoilet, even Nintex, yeah, it’s true, it’s true.

I was never hated, bb

we all laughed, but doom paul was right all along.

The only thing I’ve really learned is that in some of his ads he says he was the mayor after 9/11, and I’ve heard from other sources that he wasn’t, so I don’t think he’s being truthful in his ads, but I could be wrong,” Josh said.

Someone should do an investigation on this could be juicy

[nachobro]

biden is a pedophile, so it does imply certain things about his fervent supporters. especially on this board.

You realize that watching this for extended periods gives you brain worms?

[nachobro]

tucker isn't wrong. biden is a senile and weak old man who exists as a puppet for whatever big money interest group has their hand up his ass at the moment and has no interest in making any serious change for better, mainly because he probably isn't sure where he is or what he is doing at any given moment.

he only thing he has propping him up is "beat trump" and "blue no matter who" which are nothing but meaningless statements by people who stand for nothing.

Blinding yourself to what your opponents are saying is stupid and why Hillary lost. Because she wasn't on top of the issues and people just blamed racism. This is a preview of what's to come from Republicans if Senile Joe gets the nom.

Biden’s history in public service is spotty at best, my friend

That would be sweet. Bald King 2020!

But if there were any chance of that happening, Bernie would have won Super Tuesday by a significant margin.

That's because he was on the man's ballot. Once he's free of the establishment chains the people will rise up, do what's right.

Overall, almost half of the people participating visited at least one article from a website on that list during the study period. But those articles accounted for only 6 percent of all news stories read. These numbers weren’t evenly distributed across the political spectrum, though. About 57 percent of Trump supporters in the group visited an untrustworthy site at least once, amounting to about 11 percent of total news consumption. For the Clinton supporters in the group, it was 28 percent of people visiting at least one article, for 1 percent of their total news consumption.

And drilling deeper into the data, a relatively small group of people is responsible for most of the visits to untrustworthy sites. The researchers categorized people by the ideological slant of their “news diet,” from those whose reading is dominated by liberal sites to those who only read conservative sites. The 20 percent of people farthest to the conservative end of the spectrum accounted for almost two-thirds of the untrustworthy articles read.

[nachobro]

glen is full of shit and he knows it. he only exists to insult and belittle others and then gets shocked when it is returned, just like biden exists only to serve corporate interests like the healthcare companies and credit card companies. he's a fraud and a liar like biden so that's why he's fighting so hard to protect him. i don't mind. i'll continue to insult glen just as he deserves and just as biden deserves.

rant some more about your fake degrees and your cosplaying as a minority to try and gain sympathy and continue to fail cause you are a piece of garbage who contributes nothing but bile to the world and never did anything useful to help another in your life. support yet another pedophile dem that will lose to trump and then wonder why no one bothered to vote for the touchy grandpa who can't even speak a complete sentence.

god willing both of you liars drop dead before june.

This is grossly unfair to a man who has spent his entire adult life in public service. A lot of your posts about him are gross.

I'm sorry your whole political identity is tied up in Bernie, and that you've come to believe that a Bernie presidency is the only way you'll get adequate healthcare (it's not, and if you're counting on M4A, that was never going to pass with 50-53 Dems in the Senate). But heaping these awful insults on anyone who had the audacity to run against Sanders and do well is just ridiculous behavior.

It still amazes me that rank and file democrats still haven't realized why many people aren't loyal to them. Democrats are poor on issue based legislation on the national level and Bernie supporters tend to be issue based voters. But rather than cater to voters that want their issues heard, they point and blame the voter for having the audacity to care about the issues that are central to them. Then when they lose they blame the voters rather than expanding their coalition by spesking on actual issues that concern people.

"Your whole political identity is tied up in Bernie." I wonder why? Could it be because the Democratic party has refused to move forward on these issues he cares about? No, it's the voters who are wrong.

Then they point fingers and accuse republicans of being cultists. Funny.

[nachobro]

Glen, you insulted me first and suggested things about me that are untrue so you started with this. Just because you don't like getting hit back doesn't mean it ends. It means you take what you earned. And if you are just willy nilly sending shitty PMs out and talking shit about other users, you have earned a lot. Being a shitty dude online isn't some hilarious personality quirk. It means you are a shitty dude. So fucking blow me and suck it up, buttercup. Maybe try actually making one of your fifty made up personalities a good person and you'll get some good back.

As far as Biden look at every single public appearance from this dope. He's losing his mind. He can't get through a sentence. He looks lost and confused. The only times he seems at least semi-lucid is repeating practiced lines and when there's a child nearby to touch.

Florida is going to go 54-46 to Trump who gives a shit

[Himu]

Sanders was always going to lose Florida.

[nachobro]

Biden supposedly offers is a return to decency and the status quo. That still means people have piles of debt for the sin of trying to become educated enough to get a job that will pay for that debt. That means people still will die for the sin of being poor. That still means forever wars and sending the youth of the country off to die with the promise of maybe a free education and healthcare. That still means that for the lower end nothing changes. That still means we destroy the environment for the benefit of big business, that we send people into bankruptcy for needing insulin.

It's honestly disgusting that "a return to normal" is what's promised and no one seems to care that "normal" is still completely fucked.

Yup, the Biden liberals online are the type who can afford to wait for incremental change.

[nachobro]

Glen please stop lying for once. I didn't insult you once other than mocking the idea of Blue Texas. It wasn't until you said

The Bernie coalition needed a lot more shostas and a lot fewer nachobros and Timus

that i got upset. Mainly because all you meant by that was someone to coddle your comfy moderate ass and spent hours being as sweet as possible to get you to vote for something more than the the status quo.  It was more finger pointing from the typical lib than action on the street that might get things done.

It's just the typical whining of "why am I, privileged asshole, not being catered to in every way?" while not realizing that maybe not everything is about you and your fellow lame milquetoast 1200 facebook friends. How about instead of waiting for others to bow and scrape at your feet to beg you to vote for change, you take some of your own and maybe help out rather than sit around sending forum PMs?

Maybe if your entire forum identity wasn't so wrapped up in being a hostile ass to everyone who slightly disagrees with you and insulting and wishing death upon others you wouldn't get it back. But that might require looking past your nose to see other people and we can't have that in magic white liberal land.

[Himu]

Biden should take Sanders as VP. It would be a perfect coalition and marriage. Hillary was silly not to offer a VP slot to Sanders. Sanders platform is popular. It would also cater to progressives that might sit out in the GE.

But he won't. He will go with someone because they're a woman or because they're black to rile up the idpol people.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Latinos hate biden because he's a clown who couldn't expound on the Obama admin deportations.

IIRC Sanders explained what happened, and then followed up with his push for DACA and stopping bullshit immigration bills.

That deportation question was a softball he should have hit out of the park, but he went "that was obama not me : .

inb4 deported in chief cindi.


e:I'm not sure what promped me an immigration rant.

Biden should pick a VP who is older than he is and who has a a heart attack? At least he'll secure him Vermont!

Liberals always ask progressives to sacrifice for the greater good. They need to sacrifice and offer Bernie a VEEP position.

[nachobro]

If Bernie isn't going to be president I'd rather he stay in the senate, same for Warren. They can do a ton of good work there that will be needed. And yeah, Biden needs to pick a successor not a VP. The dude is barely keeping it together as is, he's gonna need someone to take over when he's not able to...assuming he wins.

I was actually thinking about this in the morning. Having Bernie doing rallies while Biden eats glue and rounds up policy wonks for legislation. 

I'm not sure Bernie would be willing though, this go around since Biden has been a total dick. At least Hillary was cordial enough.

[nachobro]

so it wasn't about you but then you made it about you? goddamn if that's not the most perfect encapsulation of the problem

Florida is going to go 54-46 to Trump who gives a shit

Missed this post.
1. Do the delegates not count towards the primary?
2. No one has had more than 52.1 percent since 1988.
3. A Democrat won in 96, 08, and 12.
4. An eight-point victory isn't happening. The margins in favor of the Republican in 92, 00, 04, and 16 were 1.89%, 0.01%, 5.01%, and 1.19%.
5. Since 1992, the average margin has been +0.19 in favor of the Democrats. Ignoring the Perot election, +0.72 in favor of Republicans.
6. Biden is +1.7 is head-to-head match-ups.
7. IF you write off Florida, you have to write off Iowa, Arizona, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, etc.

Would have easily gone Warren over Hillary in '16. She should have run then.

But she didn't. So Sanders did.

This (Sanders being a front-runner) could've been her, but she playin' (in the Senate).
