Nothing matters anymore. People are too partisan, to emotionally invested in their side of this bloody culture war that  it just doesn't matter.

 

We just have to hope they put it right in November.

"They" being America's centrists. Let's hope for a candidate who actually appeals to them. :pray:

A socialist, a gay vacuum, a beige corporate shrill or Warren who seems okay but I don't enough about to define - what could go wrong? 

 

Using my West Wing knowledge I reckon Bloomberg will try and buy the conference with the backing of the DNC.

As ever, I'm hoping for Bernie Sanders. I assume you prefer the guy who no one seems to care for very much who is only running because he was the second to a greater man, or the other guy who was involved in the development of an app which appears to have obfuscated an electoral process, and who has received fewer votes than Sanders, but who has somehow come out ahead.

 

I think you're safe. The democrats will choose the unthreatening option irrespective of what the membership wants. And then we just have to hope that all the young people that such shithousery deters, aren't refusing to vote in sufficient numbers that Trump wins.

 

I do concede he would be more palatable to the centrists though ;) Well, I think so. I haven't actually seen any data on that.

Bernie Sanders can’t win and would not be able to sufficiently guarantee he could last a whole term without dying.

I agree with the last bit in theory, haven't seen any evidence to support the first bit myself - plenty of evidence last time out that he would have beaten Trump but I do concede the picture has changed now. And I'm not saying he should win. I'm just not especially impressed by the determination of the establishment democrats to shithouse their way to someone that they "think" can win.

 

Ultimately I'll take anyone who isn't Trump - but a non-Sanders candidate who wins through the non-transparent machinations of the Democrats won't win either. If they want their centrist hero to win, he (or she, not sure where Warren places on the spectrum) has to win it fairly. If they don't, Trump will destroy them - partially because people who think like me will just give them the finger. Partially because it will make them look more corrupt than he is.

I too would like to offer a strong opinion on a subject on which I am not well versed.

 

The strong opinion I put forward = the Democrats will lose if they fuck around with the electoral process and disenfranchise large numbers of left wing voters in the process.

 

I actually do feel I know a fair amount about that particular issue :lol: 

 

Or are you thinking I'm making a strong case for Sanders. If so, you misread. I said I hoped for him. Is that too strong? I have a slight tendency towards him. Still too much? Gun to my head, if really forced to answer, I think that maybe, I could possibly get away with thinking that overall, all things considered to the best of my ability, that Sanders is possibly, at least in the current lay of the land, the right person to go up against Trump. I think that's the best I can do ewerk. Sorry.

:lol: Fair enough.

 

I've just missed railing about politics for a couple of weeks and am now over-eager :D

 

Although I have to concede, there's a general world-weariness in me about all these things now. I fully expect Trump to win this no matter who he goes up against, because the world just sucks.

Warren is considered to the left of everyone apart from Sanders but she's faded in the primary polls from her best position a couple of months ago. 

 

Obviously I'd prefer Sanders but realistically the next best is Warren. 

 

As I said I wouldn't be surprised if Bloomberg gets it.

Personally I'd like to see Warren win the nomination. She's got the socialist credentials seemingly without the scare fact that Sanders carries. She's smart and sharp and I think would be the most dangerous to Trump.

Biden would be a disaster. Bloomberg would draw a lot of votes away from Trump but he's one of those dreaded centrists.

I don't have any particular preference at all and I don't understand why you assume I would, nor do I know to whom you're obliquely referring in most of the above. :dunno:  It's just fairly obvious that the middle ground is where this election will be won, given the many inherent weaknesses of the US system. If you're willing to alienate the swing-state soccer moms right from the get-go, you deserve to lose.

Let us indeed hope for someone who can appeal to the swing-state soccer moms then. But if you fuck around with your electoral process and make it non-transparent and disenfranchising... I mean, you also deserve to lose.

 

I'm gonna add that Clinton should have appealed to those swing-state soccer moms last time. What happened there? 55% of white women voted for Trump. Whoops.
