Expand Tuesday will be fun when you come and twist the narrative yet again pretending I'm saying Joe will win when the very post you just quoted from says otherwise... but you conveniently cut that part out in anticipation of what's to come

Must just be that he's boring Expand Read the title of the thread over again. The purpose of this thread was to mock Biden, the presumptive 2020 democrat presidential leader up until recently. After 54 pages I'm confident that Joe will give us cause for many more posts. Edited March 2, 2020 by 3rdnlng 2

People are willing to vote for somebody slightly more liberal or conservative than them if they like that person and think they can win in the general. Expand Yup. Doing the following voter math is incorrect: Sanders + Warren + Gabbard = total % progressives. Bloomberg + Biden + Klobuchar = total % moderates. Many people don’t vote along political ideological lines like that and sometimes (unfortunately) don’t even know much of anything about the public policies of the candidates. They may vote instead on perceived electability, personality, physical appearance, age, geographical representation, gender, race, single issues, and so on. The proof is with polls that show the second choice for voters. You’ll often see a progressive second choice paired with a centrist first choice, and vice versa. As I think I mentioned before, there’s actually a fair amount of evidence that the Democratic Party voters and the American population at large may be quickly shifting to the progressive left. Take Medicare For All as an important example: I saw a Reuters poll where 70% of overall Americans were in favor of it and so were 85% of Democrats. You see similar trends with a variety of other individual progressive policies. Polls going against this argument usually revolve around the word “socialism” and the electability of a labeled “socialist” candidate. The Bernie campaign, however, has internal (un-scientific) canvassing data suggesting that this stigma is eroding in practically every demographic. It already collapsed with the Millenials. But who knows? We’ll find out the truth soon enough.

The DNC would rather have Trump in their than Sanders because they're afraid the gravy train runs out for them. 3
