“no one really asked for him”

So is the plan to just bitch about Biden for the next 7 months then run endless articles exploring “how did Trump win” ala 2016?

Sexists? 

This is now the SECOND article in which they’ve misrepresented the data in the actual article (the other: https://theslot.jezebel.com/through-it-all-americans-still-want-this-guy-1842760868). It’s really frustrating because, as you said, it’s irresponsible. And, frankly, looks really fucking sloppy.

Yeah, having read the article in question beforehand, I was baffled by how Jezebel chose to represent it here. As you mention, the point of it wasn’t that Trump has an edge over Biden, but that Biden doesn’t have as big of an edge in the battleground states as he does in national polling and that a lot of them will be…

He/she is a well know Bernie supporter. Also, you guys aren’t a monolith. The problem has and always will be Bernie. He thinks building coalitions are either a) tantamount to caving and selling out your core principles. Or b) beneath him and he doesn’t want to bother with it at all. Bernie has never tried to build or…

Couple of things.

Misogynists.

A chunk of Biden’s platform:

Also from the NYTimes piece that you quote:

Trump claimed he has absolute authority over the entire USA. How many warning signs do you guys need?....

You’ve had two chances at making demands with the same result. The Sanders campaign could not deliver the revolution they promised twice. There is only person left who aligns to an extent with Sanders’s policies on Health Care, Climate Change, Taxation, Housing, LGBTQ issues, Gun Control, Immigration, Reproductive…

Absolutely! Sanders’s supporters spent a decent chunk of the primary shitting on Elizabeth Warren, their most natural ally in the race (and are still fucking doing it), and then acted shocked that she didn’t turn around and endorse him. Sanders spent his entire career pretending not to be a part of the Democratic…

If anyone knows about coalition building, it’s Bernie supporters, right? You guys were so good at it. 

Remind me again how Biden was the only electable one?

I was ruminating on the similarities between Sanders and Trump and their supporters (personality cults, empty promises, tribalism) when I suddenly realize another core tenet — anti-intellectualism.

Who votes for Obama but then supports Trump? Who the fuck does that?

Remind me again how Biden was the only electable one?

While the article is sloppily written, throwing in everything but the kitchen sink in innuendo (yes, it’s true that the different names Tara Reade has adopted over the years has nothing to do with the case). I don’t agree that it contains NOTHING to do with her accusations. For one, it seems to me very pertinent that…

I mean, the dirty old man/MeToo vulnerabilities have always been built into who Biden was going to be as a candidate. Aside from his age, it was those vulnerabilities that had me hoping that he’d never even consider running—and assuming that he would eventually flame out if he did.
