Detournement Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Biden is only popular just now because he's benefitted from the soft lighting of the Obama vice presidency. When he has to defend to his record on race, finance, Iraq, prisons and the Patriot act he will probably end up pissing himself live on TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Biden is only popular just now because he's benefitted from the soft lighting of the Obama vice presidency. When he has to defend to his record on race, finance, Iraq, prisons and the Patriot act he will probably end up pissing himself live on TV. As we’ve seen, the mental capacity of a candidate to be president means not a jot in these swing states.His numbers among non-white demographics is also extremely strong. Unless you are implying that he’d do badly among whites because of his race record?Once Warren starts consistently polling ahead of Trump, I still think Biden is the Democrats’ best hope of winning back the Whitehouse, even if politically the USA could do so much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) I think that once more light gets shone onto his involvement in three strikes law, anti gang laws, minimum sentencing and death penalty expansion a lot of non white voters will go off him. His sponsoring of the bankruptcy act was disastrous for minority communities as well. He's close to being the worst person for the job.

NotThePars Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Trump at least had some sort of outsider status and good soundbites that got the hogs hooting. Biden's brain is just raw sewage at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Trump’s Twitter feed is something else, even by his own standards. He’s spent all day tweeting garbled gibberish. I think he thinks the game is up. He’s already called for Schiff to resign and be impeached. The projection is almost funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Amber Guyger found guilty. If you haven't been following this story she's a white cop who walked into her black neighbour's apartment and shot him dead. She claimed she thought she was in her own apartment and he was an intruder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say the jury spent less than 24 hours deliberating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently in this case it was the "castle doctrine" within the stand your ground law, from "Every Englishman has the right to defend his castle." Makes me think the UK should start proceedings to collect the rent for the last 250 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current polls are all about name recognition, and there's a while to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly don’t want Biden. I hope Warren isn’t one of those who will become all forgiving if she becomes President. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don't think Warren can overcome this. The Hillary fanatics might get her through the primaries but the entire GE will end up about her ethnicity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 She could still easily win if she doesn't make the whole election about identity politics, imo. If she thinks of something relatively passable to respond with at the start and proceeds to run rings around him on policy, calling her Pocahontas every time he's getting clamped is going to get old. If she goes with an I'm With Her mark 2 Yasss Queen campaign, he will absolutely walk it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Her entire public persona up until a year ago was based on a weird lie. There is no good answer for what she did. Trudeau is fucked because of blackface but lying about your ethnicity to get jobs that should be going to genuine minority candidates is much, much worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, 76% of those polled aren't arsed. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/election-2019/how-did-canadians-react-to-trudeaus-blackface-images-with-a-big-meh-polls-suggest Not saying that's good or bad, just is what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
