I get it I guess I just want to continue to drive home the point of how ridiculous it is to have a biased organization hosting the debate or any part of the process. An organization that clearly has candidates it supports and candidates it absolutely hates should not be behind the wheel of democracy.

Biden looked like a fool. Warren and Sanders said their normal stuff. Bootyitch said stuff that sounded good but was hollow. Klobachar(sp?) said her normal middle of the road stuff.

i've been texting with a dem fundraising connection and they didn't think biden did as poorly as i thought he did, he's still their top pick but i think that's more because they don't like anyone else not because they really like biden. they've been very impressed with buttigieg, they just don't think he has enough experience. they had previously written off harris after meeting her, but said they liked her last night for attacking tulsi as a fox news talking head. Klobuchar is who surprised them the most, his wife really liked her last night.
this is an extremely centrist establishment couple, so i was curious about their takeaways 11/21/2019 9:10:40 AM |

Biden is just so lost. I’m sure the party that sits back and doesn’t call out Donald Trump for calling all Ds “human scum” is just itching to get back to bipartisan work.
He’s just such a dinosaur. Anyone born after 1975 has never known a GOP that wasn’t anything but scorched earth.

Ok yeah it was a dumb tweet. The point I was trying to make while drunk watching the awful debate is that there is an obvious double standard they're pulling with Tulsi/Assad. If you want to talk about her cozying up with war criminals and dictators (rather than just opening a dialogue), talk about her weird relationship with Modi. But wait, other Democrats are friendly with Modi, despite the ongoing genocide in Kashmir. Kerry and Obama met with MBS after he began committing genocide in Yemen. Democrats regularly meet with Netanyahu despite his treatment of Palestinians.
And on the other side of things: Rojava has been asking for a dialogue with Assad for years, but the US won't allow it. South Koreans have wanted a dialogue with North Korea for years, but the US wouldn't allow it. Are they also trying to cozy up with dictators?
Tulsi is bad for a lot of reasons but she's brought two good points to the debates
1) We should keep an open dialogue with bad leaders, because the alternative is worse.
2) We should not fuel civil wars by shipping weapons to various groups of rebels.

Its almost as if the latest emerson poll doesn't exist. Gee, I wonder why?
Headlines on CNN.com about the new poll: 0 Posts about new poll in this thread: 0
Its definitely the first time someone has surged and not gotten a headline. I bet no one posted about the poll in this thread simply because no one knew it existed--> because no one told them---> because no MSM talked about. and thats how its all designed to work.
Google news search result
Quote : | " The Hill Poll: Biden and Sanders tied nationally, followed by Warren | TheHill Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are leading the Democratic presidential primary field in a new national poll, ... 8 hours ago " |
This is literally the only article on the latest national poll. Is this because the media doesn't care about polls? No. Every other poll made the front page of all of the MSM outlets. You can do an archived date search in the google news advanced feature to see that the poll articles went away today.
Heres the rest of the results from the current search
Quote : | "Vox Kamala Harris’s decline in the polls, explained Data suggests some of her supporters have migrated to candidates who were previously their second choice. 1 day ago

Booker won't make it, agreed.
Tulsi needs 1 more qualifying poll and only 3k more donors to hit the 200k donors requirement before the Dec 12 deadline. I think she'll make it.
Steyer has the 4 qualifying polls but not the 200k donors. His spokesperson says they are on track to hit 200k and I wouldn't doubt it considering how effective his digital ads for "donate $1 and get a free Trump Sucks bumper sticker" have been

I totally get it man. You make a great point but there are a lot of really important people here who think certain takes that make them angry, are crafted specifically with the intention of making them angry because no one could possibly hold a genuine belief that they disagree with.
Its the same people who think anyone who wasn't in love with Hillary is a Russian spy or the victim of the Kremlin.
Posting tweets from verified accounts is a good way to show these people that these takes are actually out there and aren't as fringe as they hope they are.
