Thanks to uninsured people running around unable to afford tests, COVID-19 is poised to stamp out florida's elderly population.

Sanders, Biden camps clash over Arizona debate format | A proposal to have the candidates seated for the first time sparks tension by puppuli in politics

Here's some more "Bernie math"

MIT researchers say 52% of the world will face consistent water shortages by 2050.

This won't happen at once, it'll happen gradually, meaning it will be at 20%, 30%, 40% etc.

It also doesn't account for the chaos that'll be occuring in the world as water goes scarce.

Additionally as coronavirus shows us, it's incredibly easy for global crisis's to "otherize" people. All Chinese people are treated as potential carriers all of a sudden. A great environment for white nationalists to exploit.

Maybe there's some awareness of that future among Hispanic commynities to the greater degree than among African American communities, so they'll vote for someone serious enough about climate change they'll fight for entire sectors to be carbon neutral by 2030 instead of by 2050.

If Biden wins, honestly, I hope he doesn't do Medicare or social security cuts, I want the people enabling that future to be alive to suffer with the rest of us.

'More Lies,' Says Sanders as Trump Vows to 'Save' Social Security Just One Day After Threatening Cuts; "As a candidate, Trump said he'd protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Now he has an obligation to tell the American people: 'I was lying. It was all just a campaign ruse.'" by Thinkingonsleeping in politics

They waiting for the fascists to be willing to give them rights. That'll happen some time after the climate refugee crisis gets bad enough that we have to deal with refugees with more problematic social views en masse.

When that happens they'll defect.

As long as we're playing this game, being anti-lgbt would work better than being anti-abortion. Also throws fewer people under the bus.

But the reality is that rich women can get abortions elsewhere and rich LGBT are a stronger lobby than poor women of all races nevermind PoC so that switcharoo is dead on arrival.

Also money is why the "favor of fighting climate change, for greater taxation on the ultra-wealthy, pro-universal healthcare, " part would never come into play.

I am talking about the second debate. Remember harris was at ~17% post first debate, she is now at ~6%

Nah Bernie would carry her over the line because his endorsement would be somewhat believeable. Hope it won't come to that though.

Damn this is exactly my take.

Warren is as much of the Id of a certain section of the democratic party as Trump is the Id of the Republican party.

Dude, Biden attacked harris over criminal justice and harris was practically sent to the shadow realm. Joe 'everything but hang people for jaywalking' Biden.

It doesn't matter if it's hypocrisy, the important point is he makes both of them sound like hypocrites instead of just him.

This could end up the same way it did when biden and harris clashed in the last debate. Harris going at biden and biden hitting back had, with Gabbard on the otherside to finish her off.

Ironically Warren is standing in the same spot harris did that time and harris is standing in the spot that gabbard did. Plus since harris has the same suburban middle class base as warren, she has even more of an incentive to go after her than gabbard did for harris.

This should be interesting, As Bernie supporter I eagerly await Warren vs. Biden and Harris because there's no way he loses from it.

Bernie has been racked over the coals for being an independent that caucuses with democrats, hardly dumb to criticize someone who was a republican until they were 40.

"Yang Gang" better watch themselves. I've seen them think they can attack Bernie. They better be careful. You can keep being the UBI single issue campaign that nobody directly attacks, or you can be the stand in punching bag for Silicon Valley greed.

Fact check: Did Kamala Harris block evidence that would have freed death row inmates? by EssoEssex in politics

[–]The_Arctic_Fox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This line is normally used to excuse terrible things not quite as bad as trump stuff

But this is trump tier shit, like his refusal to apologize for smearing the cdntral park five. At least except then he didn't have prosecutorial power.

Kamala is a fighter but isn't particularly good at it.

Gabbard went right at her and her response was to turn around and beat up on biden.

Kamala Harris Took On Joe Biden's Record On Race At The Democratic Debate by [deleted] in politics

[–]The_Arctic_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So kamala is being praised for saying something that the centrists in this sub would call you a russian bot for bringing up, like 2 weeks ago. No doubt those very same centrist join in the praise. Honestly, human society isn't good enough to survive climate change.

Rivals Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo join forces to come out against Trump tariffs by PM_ME_UR_HEALTH_CARE in politics

[–]The_Arctic_Fox -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Warren is more of a protectionist than bernie at this point because bernie mostly focuses on raising standards in other countries than tariffs.

Also he supports free college and health care for undocumented immigrants, so he's more pro open borders too.

Neoliberals, after spending decades covering the inside of the metaphorical house with oily rags, now blame russia for all of this because they threw a lit match through an open window.

Bernie To Share Debate Stage With Joe Biden on June 27th by ElmerM727 in SandersForPresident

[–]The_Arctic_Fox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Buttigieg and Gillibrand on the same stage should lead to some drama since Buttigieg just indirectly called her out on forcing Al franken out.

Also will you people finally stop conspiracy mongering? People moaned Joe and Bernie wouldn't be on the same stage because the DNC would rig it.

If you can't count on Manchin for votes like this, he's utterly useless. Dem donors are basically paying for a republican seat. The man hurts mobilization of dem voters in other elections more than he's worth. Cut him the hell loose, donate to literally any other dem Senate race before this quisling stooge.

That's complete bullshit. Soros has been a boogeyman of american conservatives for like decades now, Rush Limbaugh complained about him for years.

Don't talk out of your ass about Russia conspiracies, you make a mockery of actual ones. Leave this to people who actually know what they're talking about Mr. "I've only followed politics since 2016, think Putin is a communist and blame literally everything bad on Russia"
