Huh, I did not know that, although that’s interesting for sure. They just keep hopping around like it’s a game of musical chairs. And she did start to switch up her strategy a bit around then (when Harris dropped). So I can see that

People are falling into the “vote for the moderate, ‘electable’ candidate because we can’t afford to lose this one” trap.

I’ll do one better - if he’s in the lead and she’s dropped back further by the time my state is up, I’m voting for him if only to avoid a contested convention. Kicking Trump out of the White House is priority 1, and we don’t do that without a unified party. Having a clear winner of the primary process is the biggest…

He’s smart and articulate, which is a breath of fresh air after three years of Trump.

The shift in M4A, while probably smart policy, just made her look wishwashy in a culture that prides itself on sticking your fingers in your ears and refusing to consider the possibility that maybe you are wrong and need to adjust your ideas.

Yup! Hence the screaming into the void stuff. But as it stands, that’s actually one of my favorite hobbies alongside going for walks and knitting!

I mean, the most generous reading of that discussion would be that she misinterpreted what he said. I could kind of believe that because Bernie is very direct and sometimes the context and nuance of what he’s saying gets lost in his rhetorical style.

I get that, I just like pointing it out when I get a chance... that Sanders is getting over the 20% that people have saying he couldn’t break and is now into the 30's. 

Whelp...the homeless Splinter bros have succeeded in colonizing The Root’s political commentaries. I absolutely hate the way that they always manage to hijack the comments’ thread.

I do not understand the love for Mayo Pete. Bernie’s all well and good but Warren actually has the plans to make it all happen. She’s who I want to vote for but right now it seems like that’s not going to happen in November. At work all the TVs are on financial news (Bloomberg, CNBC, Clowncar Business) and they were…

Who’s more trustworthy between the two?

except that he didnt say it. there’s no evidence at all that he did, and she’s dropped it because she knew it was a lie.

otherwise we would be talking about how saint bernie is trailing in the polls. and dont give me “it’s sexist” bullshit. she’s a weak candidate now. her endless gaffes are starting to catch up to her.

except that he’s been saying he’s wanted a woman president for years. 

It also felt a bit Clinton-ish, as she liked playing that proxy game.

yeah that “he said a woman couldnt be president” was complete bullshit and she fucking knew it. 

I like Warren, but she hasn’t run a very good campaign. The shift in M4A, while probably smart policy, just made her look wishwashy in a culture that prides itself on sticking your fingers in your ears and refusing to consider the possibility that maybe you are wrong and need to adjust your ideas. Then her attack on…

she had a campaign in 2016 if she wanted it. before all the stupid gaffs and mistakes she made were made public and hte whole “whatever bernie said but said by a woman” and “i have a plan for that” and “i’ll ask them to resign”

the only way im team warren is if bernie’s campaign is finished and she makes it to the…

Warren torpedoed her campaign when she followed the advice of her ex-Clinton advisers and abandoned her progressive policy positions to shift more to the center.

Warren suffers the same problem as Sanders: those who benefit from the status quo do not want her to win.

I think she’s still in a three-way tie for the tier right below where Sanders and Buttigieg (who is somehow still in this???*), though. She’s getting comparable actual support to Biden and Bloomberg.
