As Super Tuesday indicated, it is those voters who are going to decide the Democratic primary. Though they may have been quiet, perhaps they were there all along.
I am a white college educated suburban-dwelling Minnesota woman who supported Klobuchar from the day she announced her candidacy. I have some thoughts on your article. First, it was not cold in Minnesota on Super Tuesday — it was 43. Practically balmy for winter here.
Not only that but there’s a lot less interest in the media covering these types of people- a polite middle of the road 40 something who has voted consistently for 20 years is just way less interesting a story than starry eyed idealist in her 20s talking about revolution or an 80 black woman providing her sage-like…
I like how your response is very reasonable instead of chastising, “well I understand your frustration, but at least vote for the other positions!” It’s refreshing.
With Biden, I don’t think you can reasonably dismiss the idea that, on the whole, Democrats like him. It’s not just that they know him. They like him. That was a big part of what Sanders supporters last time around didn’t get about Hillary Clinton. Yeah, people understood that she had flaws, but Democrats generally…
I get that— and I’m hardly excited about a Biden presidency— but if Super Tuesday taught us anything it’s that the promise of Bernie inspiring a wave of supporters to come to polls was a myth. His losses yesterday came partially because young voters were *not* motivated to come out for him. In fact, he did WORSE this…
Yep you nailed it. As inspiring and progressive Bernie’s ideas and candidacy are to people, they don’t hold much weight across many regions of the US. And quite honestly, he isn’t the powerhouse today compared to 2016. He won Vermont by 86% in 2016, he only won it with 51% this year. Warren and Bloomberg only took 22%…
I thought Warren would be the nominee when things started, so what do I know, but I do think a majority of the party is moderate, and the fears of the last weeks of Bernie getting the nomination scared the hell out of moderates (both fears of him winning but more so his losing to Trump and costing Dems the House too).…
From Michigan as well, won’t be voting for Biden if he gets the nom. Tired of the democratic party’s continued bullshit and my balls are still aching from the repeated dick kicks of the Obama administration.
That’s likely a selection error. Those are the interviews the news chooses to present, which doesn’t mean that’s a representative sample of ideas that drive American election decisions. Not only that, in the amount of space the news has to present those ideas, the news is more or less forced to focus on the sound…
Case in point: Me.
Watching the comments on her different social media feeds is like watching the progressive version of Trump supporters. Big tents and all but seriously, the lack of decorum from the “Bernie Bros” is fucking tragic.
I wish it weren’t Biden, either. But I think the hope over fear binary is a bit silly. Anybody who looks at the remaining list of candidates and isn’t a little bit afraid about any of them being the nominee is being blinded by something, and I’m not sure it’s hope.
“...and also appeared to confuse his wife with his sister.”
This is dumb. At no point in his time as commander is Li Shang interested in Mulan; if anything, it’s the opposite (though she would never approach him).
It HAS to be another instance of people confusing millennials and gen z’ers, right? Millennials are in our 30s now. We have been in our underpaid teaching and office jobs for a decade. We drinkin’ the wine.
I had a c-section as my baby was never coming out the usual way and I used hypnobirthing techniques to get through that and they truly helped. I started having a massive panic attack with all of the tugging but remembered what I'd learnt and managed to calm down by breathing properly.
My wife used the hypnobirth method and they (or at least our teacher) admit in the first class how they know the name is dumb, but it really worked! My wife used a midwife in a hospital and opted out of any pain meds, she went into the deep breathing and just stayed in this meditative state the whole time. It was the…
