That a politician who's often said racism is a consequence of economic conditions would say this in 1970-whatever doesn't surprise me, and get ready for more of it.

I don't even think using an ill-chosen simile 40-odd years ago is as serious as being under FBI investigation (for some dumb email storage issue) at the time you are campaigning.

I tried to parse "Dem Party sources who have spoken to Barack Obama" and have concluded that there could easily be over 100,000 humans who would fit this extremely vague category.

Not to brag, but I get personalized emails from Barack several times a year. Sometimes Michelle drops me a line as well.

Among those 100,000 humans, I'd imagine residents of rural Iowa and NH would be over-represented.

This is interesting, as to what proportion of establishment Dems will fall behind and what proportion will go never Bernie, should it get to that point
Would the real danger be Bloomberg as a third party runner?

The concessions Bernie got from the party will help avoid that sort of thing, but who knows.
My dark conspiracy theory is Biden will win a lot of delegates but drop out because of his age and some bullshit ass dark horse candidate will swoop in.

Would be interesting to see what kind of bump he got from the Iran debacle. That was a very "oh shit, foreign policy matters" moment and I think it left even more people wondering just what the fuck we are doing in the Middle East.

hey guys sorry to be uncynically hopeful and all that in this thread on this board but i'm super jazzed about bernie and the other night i imagined him winning and realized if it happened i'd basically be running in the streets crying. but even if this is as far as he gets the fact that people like him and aoc having an effect, even if it isn't nearly enough of one, are making the trainwreck of daily existence a little bit more manageable! yeah baby!

Top 3 YT comments, all recent, in response to last year's Bernie interview:
jesus fricken christ, I just realized that I allowed my opinion of this guy to be designed by everyone else. I actually like this dude.
This is really making me think, before now all i'd seen of Bernie is conservative videos and hit pieces, but he sounds really interesting and intelligent when given the time to give a full statement.
Wow... I thought this man was a complete lunatic but he sounds like an intelligent man who knows what he's talking about. The American media and American voters completely destroyed my opinion of Bernie... I feel so bad for him.
Say what you will about Rogan, this is all encouraging stuff.
― pomenitul, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:30 (four years ago) link
Then go to a video of Rogan talking about trans women, and see how encouraging you think those comments are

― Frederik B, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:32 (four years ago) link
we've been over this elsewhere but unfortunately Rogan is pretty much the only place you can go do to a long-form interview and discuss your ideas at length without interruption that gets a ton of receptive eyeballs.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 24 January 2020 14:32 (four years ago) link
