Saying "we just need to win" and "we just need someone to run against Trump" is at odds with this statement. And supporting Biden is directly at odds with this statement.This isn't to downplay policy and the importance of ideas. We need fresh ideas and fresh candidates and not the same old retreads.
I'm for open borders, but I'm not calling for that to be the Dem nominee's platform. I'm not insane. But always remember that the US population is significantly further to the left than politicians and media believe it to be, as study after study has shown. A clear, concise message behind killing private insurance with full confidence and no hedging has never been attempted, and we shouldn't dismiss it out of hand because Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper aren't so sure about this.Or decriminalizing the boarder and making private health insurance illegal.
Both possibly good ideas, both likely electoral poison pills.
Biden needs to drop out. For all the commentary about Trump being in the early to mid stages of dementia, and I believe he is, Biden looks and sounds seriously unwell.
Who the hell ever said anything about supporting Biden?Saying "we just need to win" and "we just need someone to run against Trump" is at odds with this statement. And supporting Biden is directly at odds with this statement.
You're reading wayyyy too much into the only dolphins related insult I could think of on short notice
dan marino certainly isn't sharing any political tweets (at least not in 2019, i read his entire timeline back that far), unless you count a post remembering the victims of parkland on the one-year anniversary.
the owner guy didn't have any stake in the team whatsoever until 2008, more than eight years after marino played his last game.
headache's post still doesn't make any sense at all.

Biden needs to drop out. For all the commentary about Trump being in the early to mid stages of dementia, and I believe he is, Biden looks and sounds seriously unwell. This doesn't even have to do with his policies. I do not think he will be coherent by this time next year. He's already pretty incoherent as it is. Just within the last week, he's had like half a dozen instances of him sounding like he is having a medical issue. He's not finishing thoughts, he's mixing up names, the "Joe 30330" thing, and now this "poor kids are just as bright as white kids" debacle.
The whole "people think Biden can win" thing is the only thing propping him up, and we're way too far out from the election for that to be a serious consideration.

I was making a broader point, wrapping in the notion that Biden's greatest asset is his electability. It can't just be "who can win in 2020?" because there's way too diverse a thought about how you even accomplish that.Who the hell ever said anything about supporting Biden?
I've said over and over again that I preferred that he doesn't run, and that the last thing we need is another 70+ year old white male as president.
Killing private insurance polls poorly when the polls are designed in a way to make it seem that it polls poorly. So, sure, when someone says "do you like your insurance" as opposed to not having insurance, it polls well. And "how would you feel about having your private insurance taken away" when the alternative is, again, not having insurance or having to go with the ACA, then yes, it does not poll well.it doesn't poll well, either. so it's less about Todd and Tapper and more about the actual evidence we have that 250m voters don't want to part with their present employer-sponsored health care.
you can argue that it's the framing, or that Bernie is just one speech away from changing everyone's minds, but the empirical evidence we have suggests that killing private insurance is an electoral loser. spooking 250m people isn't a good idea, even if it's incrementally growing in popularity.

it's not there yet.
if it's DOA in the Senate anyway, and politically risky with even the most favorable framing, why should this be a centerpiece of the D 2020 platform?
with a D president and the D's controlling both houses of congress, maybe we can get there. it took 10 years for the ACA to become popular. the ACA is what delivered the 2010 "shellacking" for the Democrats, which gave us many of the insanities that we have today. further, most European countries don't have single payer systems but more tightly regulated private insurance companies competing.
i can take the distinction that people love their doctor but hate their insurance company, but i don't have confidence that's a distinction that can be clearly made in the present political climate. and it becomes a singular reason to vote for Trump for certain uncomfortable voters, similar to how many put up with Trump because of judges/abortion.
Just because there were bad faith arguments made about Clinton in 2016 does not mean Biden is above criticism. Clinton's were made with a sexist edge that you simply cannot claim here with Biden. And I think you are greatly understating how bad Biden is coming off right now. It's about way more than my personal disagreements with his policies. And it's not just him being prone to gaffes. This is something different, and the frequency with which it is occurring is accelerating.This is the kind of entertainment that makes it worth checking in on this board daily.
This is the same conservative attack they put on Clinton in 16. You just echoed what Trump said on the south lawn an hour ago. Hell, are we sure there isn't a Biden body double making the rounds at his campaign events??
I think what we need to do is let the voters decide. If Biden self-destructs it will be reflected in support for him and he won't be the nominee. Calling for him to drop out because he sounds old and "not well" is absolute nonsense, especially while we still have to listen to about 15 contenders who won't even make the debate stage still yammering.
the candidate who tells the best story is the candidate who wins.
The candidates that probably could have won if there weren't 50 other candidates and one guy making a mockery of the whole thing?Booker and Bootyjudge are the Christie and Rubio it this field.
How is Booker going to kneecap BootyEdge?
(That remains the #2 moment of Christie’s career)
