Members Chris B Posted April 2, 2020 Members Share Posted April 2, 2020 I also feel like the "enthusiasm" argument is part of the media pushing a horse race for ratings. We went through this in 2016 and are again--Bernie is *NOT* as popular as the media makes him out to be. His people whine about him getting unfair press coverage, but like any republican running for office, he gets pass after pass due to "fairness." This cycle he raised more money than anybody and had a built in grassroots movement and tons of good press and STILL couldn't win. Bernie gets lots of excitement on social media, but it is not translating into votes. Young people love them, but where are they when it comes time to vote? They kick and scream because he's losing, but the numbers don't lie. The latest thing is that they say voter suppression, but nobodies vote is suppressed more than the black community and they ALWAYS come out in droves to vote. They just didn't vote for Bernie. Black voters came out in such big numbers that Biden has swept this primary. The media has spent 4 years interviewing Trump voters and talking about how to win over more white people and completely ignored black voters AGAIN. The result isn't a surprise. Bernie didn't even TRY to win these voters over. If the media were being real and not trying to get ratings they would be saying what a horrible candidate Bernie has been. I'm so tired of him and the conspiracy theories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 2, 2020 Members Share Posted April 2, 2020 For about six months and running, I've been saying that there will be a recession due to Trump's incitement of trade wars. Now with this pandemic sweeping the world and having to rely on failed leaders like Trump and Boris Johnson, delays from Italian leadership and others, it looks like we are headed for a global recession that could be very painful and lengthy. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/why-the-global-recession-could-last-a-long-time/articleshow/74945319.cms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 4, 2020 Members Share Posted April 4, 2020 Paper applications for unemployment benefits? Florida is an entire mess. These are some of the same folks who wanted rake the Obama administration over the coals for the early missteps with the ACA website but it's far worse to construct a system that intentionally causes endless frustration to applicants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 4, 2020 Members Share Posted April 4, 2020 What a shocker. Bernie's campaign pandering for this ugly racist was one of its death knells. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted April 4, 2020 Members Share Posted April 4, 2020 Why is this trending number one on Twitter??! Rogan is one on those [!@#$%^&*] perpetual frat boy types who will always support Trump because he's their father figure- God-King. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sivad40 Posted April 4, 2020 Members Share Posted April 4, 2020 Does anybody here still actually watch Trump's pressers/neo-rallies in real time, or do you just hear the soundbites from various sources? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted April 5, 2020 Members Share Posted April 5, 2020 I never watch. His voice is literally nails on a chalkboard for me. I CAN'T listen to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
