Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

you are off by several millenia

xp eric h

could it also be that the poll is ALL college-educated women, of all political persuasions, and that nearly every single conservative-leaning person is convinced that bernie sanders is the antichrist and must be defeated at all costs?

key words on that poll are "white" and "college", not "educated" and "women"

It's absolutely inconceivable to me that a group of people who absolutely never encounter mansplaining or have their intelligence belittled on a regular basis would have any problem with Sanders supporters. Who could possibly imagine it?

This doesn't explain why they're in unison with white college educated men or why it doesn't hold true with WOC, who I don't believe are immune to belittling or mansplaining?

i stay out of the bernie bro wars a lot, but pretty sure 90%+ normal people have no experience with having their intelligence belittled by bernie supports on twitter, because they're not on twitter

the impression that Berniebros are overly aggro is widespread, it's part of his narrative at this point.

whether anyone's encountered it directly or not is immaterial. For my part I have definitely gotten a fair amount of hostility on the Bernie thread of this very board fwiw.

The standout there is Warren is second-last, though.

imo the standout is that bloomberg is second

both equally depressing, imo

maybe the poll was really 'hey white people, what candidate do you most want to bring home to meet your mom?'

Bernie bros (not always male) are a thing on Facebook as well. I think a lot of people can relate.

I've been singed on Facebook and Twitter but I won't confuse'em for real life, where the Sanders supporters, as usual, are far less aggressive.

But I know plenty of women who've been bro'd.

Yes. Plenty of people in my circle have been bro'd: women, LGBTQ+ folk, POC, working poor, trans folks, the disabled ... it's just, as a trend, they're not the people with the platform to shout back against agitated 20-something white men.

would you guys be so confounded by this poll if we swapped out white, college educated women for anti-vaxxers in the heading?

Aren’t most anti-vaxxers white college-educated women?

i guess short answer is no

how bad do we think the obama bros would have been in 2008 if twitter was widespread back then and had been for a few years

The actual answer to your question is PUMAs

e.g. people who feel entitled by how much they know better than you, you being the less enlightened sad person who doesn’t understand what’s at stake

It takes one to bro one

All snark aside, Sanders and Warren being 1-2 in dead last means that this is 100 percent a snapshot of privilege in action.

It sort of makes me doubt the reliability of the poll, isn't the college educated white women demo supposed to be Warren's bread and butter?

Most anti-Warren sentiment in my circles seems to be of the “Stop telling me what to do, MOM” variety.

So do we postulate that Buttigieg is coasting on being not mom, and not dad?

he's everyone's over-achieving little brother

xpost its a poll of all college educated women, not just democrats. The college educated democrats who might appreciate warren are more than offset by conservatives who are told on a daily basis that warren and sanders are evil

oh come on how many college-educated white women Republicans are there, 200? 300?

you guys realize what a small sample set 'white college educated women' is gonna be in a poll like this right? reading deep narratives into crosstabs is silly.

ny times exit poll suggested that only 51% of college educated white women voted for clinton

Romney-hawks cited the 'crosstabs' of just about every major poll showing Obama ahead, while ignoring the aggregate data, stating the crosstabs alone painted the real picture, and that the population sampling was off. Gallup actually predicted a Romney victory using similar bullshit methods.

Yeah, my main takeaway is that any Democrat has a good chance against Trump with this demo.

Have you ever been to a suburb?

yeah was gonna say

In Texas alone, A&M, Baylor and SMU graduate 8000 of them a year.

*shudder* baylor

I think if you hang out in white liberal circles it's easy to forget how Republican white people are, if white people were a state they'd roughly be Indiana

Sorry, I mean we'd roughly be Indiana

I went to a high school that was basically a walking elephant

holy shit!

Holy shit -- Elizabeth Warren scotches any idea that she'll be Michael Bloomberg's running mate. She quotes the "horse-faced lesbian" line, calls him an "arrogant billionaire."

FAT BROADS AND HORSE-FACED LESBIANS!!! within the first minute of the debate!!! this is the best debate so far of all nineteen million debates to date

wau

lmao this finally woke up sleepy joe

"Let's put over someone who's actually a Democrat," Pete Buttigieg says, referring to Sanders and Bloomberg.

everyone's being mean af I loves it

Good. Go ham on Bloombiecunt

grooooooooaaaaaan @ pete
