"Nobody likes him" --hillary on bernie sanders this gave me a solid laugh, as she seems unaware that no one likes her either. |

What a dumb, evil old snake she is. Now she's trying to lose an election to Trump that she's not even running in. btw say you love Bernie or I'll find a way to make you code exclusively on whatever version of PHP xltronic runs on. |

he's alright he's done a nice job of moving the overton window to the left over the years (for those who listen to anything democrat, anyways) and for that i am truly thankful. however, most of his platform is too extreme, and i doubt he could win. there are some factors no one ever considers, and it blows my mind. like: does this candidate have a nice voice? would barack obama have won without his soothing baritone? perhaps, but it definitely helped. when trump was elected, this was actually one of my first thoughts: oh, god. four years of hearing this man's voice on a weekly, even daily basis. over the intercom at the supermarket. it's going to be burned into my brain, and it sounds like a tiny pair of balls mixed with gravel bernie just sounds like a hoarse, angry old man. which makes sense, because he is. "you're darn right i'm angry," i'm sure he'd reply. never mind policy, because no one reads any of that shit -- i feel like he's riding a wave of left-leaning anger on the wake of the full donald experience. genuine as it is, it covers about 1/3 of the US and, nominating bernie... no, nope. this is not a good idea i supported beto o'rourke because he was a founding member of ~~ but now he's been made redundant biden is a republican in a democrat costume and for the sake of electability this makes complete sense, but should he win, it will be like four years of some distant relative droning on about every photo of a very thick album. warren, well, never particularly liked her. she's essentially assembled a whole team of Very Talented People to make her Bernie Sanders Lite. some of it is fine, other bits of it are crap -- like, she's talking about all this regulatory crap on bitcoin when we're already at a point where you have to provide a SSN to extract actual dollars from the bitcoin |

buttigeg is actually the most likable of the bunch, the least irritating to listen to. yang is reasonably pleasant to listen to and has a technocratic angle i both like and worry about the consequences of. bloomberg's ego is also a billionaire, lord help us if he manages to buy the nomination this late, but meanwhile he's pouring half a billion into anti-trump ads so for now i appreciate his late entrance the rest of them... meh. anyways, if you look at the full context of what hillary rodhat clintop said, she's making a similar case -- the bernie train rides on leftist anger. "nobody likes him" was more meant as "2/3 of the country will not vote for him" but, still. lol. hillary clinton saying "nobody likes him as a presidential candidate." the irony, there. most democrats didn't even like her, but what are they going to do -- vote trump? flip that around, well, and lots of republicans don't even like trump, but what are they going to do -- vote bernie? |

The commercial calls Sanders “too liberal” and says that he supports “liberal health care policies” and giving “government health insurance to everyone.” The spot also compares Sanders to Democratic heroes Barack Obama and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and says he would spend trillions to combat climate change. honestly, unless you're rich enough to pay a lot more in taxes for this, i fail to see much downside here so, . but then i'm saying all this as if the nomination relies of my personal preference, which it most certainly does not. but then they get to this The Trump reelection effort, meanwhile, has spent much of the last several weeks focusing its attacks on Sanders — a gambit that two people close to the campaign described as a deliberate effort to draw attention to the Vermont senator. The campaign has used its Twitter account as an anti-Sanders messaging machine and urged prominent surrogates to train their fire on him. Their working assumption is that the presidential attention will only boost his standing among anti-Trump Democratic voters. using the trump twitter blast to deliberately streisand effect sanders, get their hacked drones to all start trashing bernie, because that will get democrats to support bernie, and bernie will be easier to beat then biden. it is disturbingly plausible and very web 5.0, so i'd kind of believe it. whether it will aid GOP objectives or not, who knows -- Yet some of the president’s big-money backers say they aren’t interested in bankrolling an effort aimed at propping up Sanders. They worry his potential strength in a general election is being badly underestimated, much as Democrats wrongly discounted Trump four years ago. actually glad it's not on me to call any of this. |

so, warren. not exactly a kickass woman. she is precise and technocratic, not in a globally societal way, but with respect to how she runs her campaign. a certain demographic will regard her as ~kickass~, but most of america, not so much -- or so i suspect. i have to admit a lingering stain from hillary; how she has a similar vibe. it's like the moment in black mirror's "fifteen million merits" where some chick is informed, "i'm sorry, but people seem to view you as ~fundamentally unlikable~" i know next to nothing about klobuchar, but if the word is that a female contender is best, i would prefer her over what i know about warren meanwhile, bloomberg is shifting into high-gear media-blast troll mode, and, well, while i will still be somewhat mortified if he becomes the nominee, at least he's brought a smile to my face. about time someone punched the republican ego in the dick. i'd prefer things to be professional, but if the other side is an angry troll mob, you may as well accept it and return in kind if you wish to have even the vaguest prayer warren accusing sanders of sexism was rather pathetic. i worry that if her campaign continues to flounder, we will see more of the same calculated desperation |

Vice President John Adams may have used that gavel in 1789, although he seems to have preferred the attention-getting device of tapping his pencil on a water glass. By the 1940s, the old gavel had begun to deteriorate; in 1952 the Senate had silver pieces attached to both ends to limit further damage. During a heated late-night debate in 1954, Nixon shattered the instrument. Unable to find a replacement through commercial sources, the Senate turned to the embassy of India. The replacement gavel duplicated the original with the addition of a floral band carved around its center. There may have been no more effective wielder of that legislative instrument than Charles Fairbanks, vice president from 1905 to 1909. According to one witness, "He wouldn't hit it very hard, but when things started to get noisy on the floor, he'd lean over the desk and just tap-tap-tap a few times on the thin part of the desk. He used to say," according to the observer, "it wasn't loud noise that attracted the senators' attention, it was just a different noise." |

The stampede to Joe Biden’s side among Democrats in the wake of his victory in a single primary has been remarkable to behold. What they are unlikely to say out loud is that this isn’t about Biden’s inspiring vision or compelling personality, so much as their fears that if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were the nominee, he’d lose to President Trump. Biden, for all his weaknesses, looks like a better bet. I can’t say for sure that they’re wrong. There are no certainties here, and no way to account for every variable that could affect the outcome of the election, let alone events that we can’t foresee. But what we ought to realize is that both Sanders and Biden represent a huge risk to the Democrats — but for completely different reasons. To simplify things a bit, I fear that Sanders would do everything right and fall short because he was fated to lose, while I fear that Biden would do everything wrong and blow a race he could have won. i wish i could say this wasn't utterly on the mark. |

Now that Buttigieg and Klobuchar have ratfucked Bernie by dropping out and endorsing Biden, and Warren has ratfucked Bernie by staying in to play spoiler, the only consolation prize will be watching Trump gleefully wreck Biden's senile ass-hole in the general. |

I think the popularity of Bernie Sanders just has to do with his shouting, which people seem to mistake for some sort of intellectual energy. It drives me crazy. And most of the things he says should be free, I agree with him. Yes! Public colleges should be free. They were, up until the late seventies, in New York. Someone has to explain: colleges were free, but they were paid for by taxes. Take my taxes and please pay for free colleges. Please do not take my taxes and give it to Carnival Cruise Line. This sounds like Bernie Sanders’s platform, though. I agree with him. I agree with these ideas. But if you’re asking me if he would be a good President—he’s not even a good senator! He just yells. Also, I’ve always thought, What kind of person leaves New York when they’re eighteen? People should come to New York when they’re eighteen. And many of the things that are wrong with New York that prevent many people from coming—which is how psychotically expensive it’s become—should be changed. He’s seventy-eight, right? That’s the age you should go to Vermont. New York’s a very hard place to live, and I understand if, by the time people are seventy-eight, they can’t take it anymore. Go to Vermont, and, when you get there, take an eighteen-year-old and put them on a bus and send them to New York. It’s, like, the Bernie Sanders Exchange Program. Right. And if the eighteen-year-old says, “Who can afford to live in New York?” Well, you, because we’re going to change everything for you. I have always really disliked Joe Biden, mainly because of the Anita Hill hearings, which I did not have to be reminded of during the Kavanaugh hearings. I remembered it very well and I was appalled. And because he turned Delaware into a cesspool of usury. But I was so happy when he started winning. And that to me was sad. I thought, This is what it’s come to. You’re happy that Joe Biden is winning. |

~ this lady gives me hope i could make a career out of forum rants. so much of this is... yeah. there's more that i've written here As someone with a long history of loathing Michael Bloomberg, what do you make of his Presidential campaign now that it’s over? I never thought Michael Bloomberg had a single chance of getting the nomination. First of all, Fran, like Bernie, doesn’t think anyone should have fifty-eight billion dollars. It is a stupid amount of money for a person to have, and it should be taken away in taxes. Whenever they say, “He earned it”—no one earns a billion dollars. You earn fifteen dollars an hour. “Earn” means work. You steal that kind of money. It’s chicanery. It’s ridiculous. Did you take any pleasure in seeing that the only place he won was American Samoa? I did. I’m not as nice a person as you might imagine. I had huge arguments with friends of mine who said, “Don’t you think he’d be better than Donald Trump?” And I kept saying, “Do I think it would be better for the country to have Donald Trump be the President again or to have the country watch someone buy a Presidential election?” I think that would be equally destructive for the country, and I’m glad that he didn’t get it. |

i find this kind of puzzling, really. trump has a whole raft of accusers, a graphic description of rape, audio recordings of him bragging about sexual assault... and, meanwhile, biden's already went through two presidential campaigns without anyone speaking up. who is going to say, "shit, biden assaulted a woman? i'm going to vote for trump, because he's much better on that front!" i suspect it'll flap around in the press for another couple weeks before being forgotten like "grab em by the pussy" was |

“Rodhat clintop” could be the worst sound/sentence/words I’ve ever heard. Adding the Hillary before makes it even worse. I mean, kudos, emt. Maybe it means something, I wouldn’t know.
