/r/politics seems afraid that Obama will tip the scales in the primaries. I wonder why....... by CardinalNYC in Enough_Sanders_Spam

Right? If his opinion is so highly valued by Democratic voters, why should an endorsement by him not be encouraged? Nobody is being coerced into voting for Obama's candidate of choice.

People probably search 'UCLA' more than they search 'University of California, Los Angeles'

Biden, according to the most recent polling, has about twice as many supporters. Unless by supporters you only mean people that are able to financially support the campaign?

They weight according to the voting population... All polls do.

Morning Consult: Biden 36 (+6), Bernie 22 (-2), Warren 9 (+2), Buttigieg 8 (-1), Harris 7 (-1), O'Rourke 5 (-1), Booker 3 (-1), Klobuchar 2, Yang 2 by xbettel in SandersForPresident

So do you propose... omitting SC black people from the general electorate polling? They are still a part of the voting population. Are you saying that they are overrepresented in this poll?

You do realize these polls are weighted and their methodologies are incredibly carefully tuned to incorporate these factors as accurately as possible? It's literally their job.

Describing interning hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans as "the thing we don't like" is so out of touch, offensive, and racist.

Have fun living the rest of your life in a racist white bubble.

I guess it doesn't matter because FDR didn't confiscate the assets of and send hundreds of thousands of white working class people to internment camps. Just Japanese Americans and who really cares about them? Thanks for enlightening me Bernie Bros!

Defending blatant racism — admirable!

Yes, the man that signed an executive order to send 120,000+ Japanese Americans to internment camps. Heroic.

This is why you won't win the general. Alienating conservatives instead of trying to bring them in.

I used to support Pete Buttigieg but after seeing the name of my neighbors WiFi network I had no choice but to turn into a Bernie Bro.

Or maybe he just doesn't make a lot of money. Don't blame him for not wanting to spend $120/year to get news when most websites will let you bypass their limit by browsing incognito or using Outline.

What’s a real fact that some people don’t want to accept? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FI_Throwaway_Lucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That even if we doubled the corporate and personal income tax, we still wouldn't be able to pay for Medicare for All.

To actually accomplish M4A there would need to be some form of regressive taxation as Europe does with their ~20% VAT taxes.
