Election 2020

[Teenwolf]

I know your main concern is the midwest, but that's not an issue for Sanders. His main strength is through all the critical states HRC lost, largely because of his anti-NAFTA stance. Nate Silver posted an article in 2016 about it which I can never find... but it was all about Sanders secret weapon being the midwest. I wish I had more details for you, but I'm basing my optimism on those factors.

I wanted to talk about coronavirus impact on the race. I read an article on a hardcore right wing site about how coronavirus will tank the economy for 1 year, and Bernie Sanders will be President to get credit for the recovery. It mostly focuses on the stock market. Fun read.

My friend had a similar take that I think makes a ton of sense: "i think with the economy in freefall and trump ignoring coronavirus (and treatment costing $3000) bernie has an insane opportunity, since his platform would solve both issues. Even if its not an issue by the time he's sworn in, all he needs to do is stress that he's the only person offering free medical treatment and prevention."

The $3K test for the virus shows what a huge and unethical disaster the healthcare for profit model is. Massive opportunity for Bernie to get M4A done, if it turns into a real health crisis.

Besides the economic impact and medical bills bringing health care to the forefront, I'm wondering if rallies for candidates are going to be cancelled soon, and for how long that might last. It would be great if warm weather helps to slow the spread, but I think that is still in question

I can't wait for TW to explain why you're wrong.

Surprising, since he had a lot of young supporters, and Bernie does the best with young voters.

not sure Pete did well with young voters. The bigger problem is this could make candidates viable in a number of states where they were polling 13 or 14 percent but this could get them over the top

for instance in Ca, Biden/Warren/Bloomberg were at 15/14/13. Pete had like 10%. Bernie could go from winning all or most of the delegates to less than half.

I think after Tuesday she will be checking out of the game.

I agree, very troublesome for Bernie. I came here to make this exact argument.

It's so fucked that all of these candidates are literally trying to stop Bernie from hitting 50%, that's the only play... these fucking scumbags want a contested convention... even though that helps Trump. They would rather 4 more years of Trump than unifying behind Bernie. Terrifying.

Warren is entirely running to stop Bernie, despite claiming to share his platform... shows you how much she cares about power vs principles.

Biden/Warren unity ticket is the only play these shitheads have left. Warren would be willing to be VP to deny Sanders the White House while abandoning every one of her policies for Biden.

Does rigging an election count as "big structural change"?

I can't wait for you to post something of substance. I won't hold my breath.
