Super Tuesday
-
Wait, is this the thread for delusional trump supporters who think China pays tariffs and bailing out farmers isn’t socialism?
-
You won’t be happy till all Americans are in the streets fighting over a roll of toilet paper. Just like all the other socialist countries. Smile
-
… that was a long pause while googling “who pays tariffs”
-
went with the fighting over toilet paper argument.
-
@DoubleDD Underemployed people. Poor wages. Cozying up to and protecting dictators. Undermining our alliances. Calling the free press the enemy of the people. Disparaging all people that disagree with him. Infecting the justice department with toxic partisanship. I mean the list goes on and on and on…
-
I didn’t google nothing. It’s called trade? Maybe you would like Americans farmers to go back to be at the mercy of the communist country China
-
That a lot to say any proof? As you like to say. Smile
-
@DoubleDD Maybe you should use google
-
Except the disparaging part. You nailed it.
-
DoubleDD is drinking the capitalist kool-aid. Chugging even.
-
How is socialism compared to a trade deal. Maybe you should google common sense? Smile
-
Turned into Stupid Tuesday in this discussion.
-
Sign me up.
-
Name one great socialist country?
-
@DoubleDD Bernie or Warren wouldn’t even turn this country remotely socialist. Our oligarchs would literally never allow that. The only reason the first world still retains social welfare systems is because we’re the head of the empire - house servants to the like of Haiti’s field slaves. The bare minimum is provided to acquire consent for the system. Hungry peasants result in revolution in a matter of days, gotta keep just enough of them fed and happy to maintain stability.
They’re still cutting social security, medicare, and the minimum wage. Just slowly and passively through inflation and other steadily increasing economic rents.
-
Fair point? But you admit one thing that may not be true. You are banking on the house and senate to keep Bernie or warren under control. What if that doesn’t happen. Then what.
-
Hell, let’s see if Bernie or Warren even gets the nomination, let alone wins the election. I for one have always had my doubts.
Let’s not talk about no new wars though, I’m sure we are bemoaning the fact that we are running out of poor countries to ransack. Iran and South America are looking like this right about now

You are overrating the reach and ability of the POTUS. Look at Obama, he was an excellent capitalist puppet while pretending to be interested in health care.

@DoubleDD said in Super Tuesday:
Come on @BShark that is weak you have a greater mind than that. Come on
Are you arguing that America/the wealthy elite haven’t controlled other countries through oppression?
-
I’m not going to bash Obama. One of the best speakers I think I’ve ever heard. Yet not sure he was a capitalist puppet. In fact he seemed to believe that America wasn’t to be the greatest nation on earth. And was trying to prepare Americans of that fact.

Oh no argument from me in that note.
-
Biden just introduced his wife as his sister and his sister as his wife. I think he said “I’m her wife” and then said “oh no, they switched on me”.
-
@DoubleDD He was though, he talked a big game and failed to deliver anything of substance. He could have raised minimum wage in a meaningful way and did not. I believe the last thing the DNC wants is an electable truly liberal candidate.
-
FYI I like uncle joe hate to see this.

Good grief.

This makes sense given he is Republican. :p

Someone turn his mic down.

He’s been doing well today, maybe it would be best for him if he just didn’t talk anymore.

Okay now that’s funny.
-
Wow. Protesters ran on stage right behind him. Security?
-
He’s still a better person than Trump. Just pick a competent running mate.
-
Ah ha. on queue he just mentioned Amy first. “We won Minnesota because of Amy Klobuchar”
-
@approxinfinity said in Super Tuesday:

I will vomit uncontrollably if this is the ticket.
-
lol
-
Trump has flanned the fates of hame.
-
How come you guys don’t like Amy? I know she can’t win, but still she seems quite liberal
-
@DoubleDD I like Amy. She was my first choice.
-
I know this sounds crazy. But I think she could beat trump. But she can’t win the Dem ticket.
-
She could. She would gut him in the debates. So would Warren.
-
Just not a big fan. Next to Bloomberg and Biden my least favorite candidate was probably Buttigieg after the way he changed his stances when he thought it might save his nomination. Hate that shit.
-
Amy yes, Warren no. A big no. Warren has told more lies than trump.
-

Maybe they want Biden to get the nomination so it’s close to a level playing field.

I call her LYIN LIZ.

@BShark Buttigieg = Tracy Flick.

Further proof vegans are the worst.
To @DoubleDD‘s point, I’m a libertarian and absolutely can’t stand Trump. Tepidly supported the TCJA because it was directionally good but not so good in the details, don’t support the USMCA because it’s a bailout to unions and is economic imperialism on Mexico. I’m a farm kid and opposed the bailouts. I took my check because duh, but it’s horrible policy. I really like markets.
Bernie has failed in his key idea: turn out new voters to elect a socialist. It just isn’t happening. The new voters in the D column are blacks and upscale suburban whites who are breaking overwhelmingly for Biden. Bernie isn’t putting the Obama coalition back together. Youth turnout is really bad. Blacks are turning out big for Biden. This is just my cold, former operative analysis. I voted for Biden but the numbers are what they are. Biden is going to fight Bernie to a draw in the only number that counts tonight and that’s an unqualified loss for Bernie.
-
So… if it is a brokered nomination, Warren could still be nominated at the convention. Hard to imagine.

Serious policy folks know Warren is a fraud. Most of her #PlansforEverything don’t hold up to any serious scrutiny.

While possible, it’s extremely unlikely. It’ll be Biden if it’s close on the first ballot. Remember, superdelegates can vote on the second ballot.

@FarmerJayhawk Who do you hope Biden picks as a running mate?
