And yet here you are clutching pearls for the consultant class. Friends of yours?Imagine how many pearls he would clutch if someone here said winning with rural voters wasn’t winning the ‘right way’.
The ‘this elitism is how you get Trump’ letters on his keyboard would be worn down into nubs.
Lol, I’m just pointing out your hypocrisy. The ‘right way’ to win is, and always has been, to get the most votes. The only things I’m against are things that prevent that.And yet here you are clutching pearls for the consultant class. Friends of yours?
Just not when it comes to his grifter son. I’ll vote for the guy to get Trump out, but status quo joe isn’t touching the swamp.If they wanted a swamp they would vote Republican. Even Biden supports getting money out of politics.
Hypocrisy not found. Appreciate your concern.Lol, I’m just pointing out your hypocrisy. The ‘right way’ to win is, and always has been, to get the most votes. The only things I’m against are things that prevent that.
I believe all Americans are real Americans and the right way to win is to appeal to them. Unlike you I don’t think winning by having certain people vote for you is winning the wrong way. Disgusting.
Please quote a single post of mine where I have said or insinuated that certain Americans’ votes should count less or that winning with certain types of votes is bad. I’ve certainly argued that people shouldn’t have extra special voting power, but I’ve never argued that any vote should count less.Hypocrisy not found. Appreciate your concern.
You believe all Americans are real Americans, except of course the disdain you direct at those who don’t vote the way you think they should. Hypocrisy indeed.
Elections are won by coalitions. I don’t care for the swamp dwelling consultant class.
I wouldn’t get offended.Please quote a single post of mine where I have said or insinuated that certain Americans’ votes should count less or that winning with certain types of votes is bad.

I will definitely remember this the next time you complain about someone being elitist. Again I can only imagine how offended you would be if someone said winning with rural voters is winning the wrong way.
I don't disagree, but since it is the "Democratic" Party, the Candidate should be chosen Democratically. There should be no Elite inside group, they can vote based on their Residence like everyone else. The Party management has technically "chosen" the Candidates when it allowed them to Run as a Candidate. Their job is to organize the Events around the selection process, not to tip the scales to particular candidates.
I do find it hilarious that it is now elitist to express disdain for elitists.
His son is not involved in politics, and yes, Biden has repeatedly stated he wants to get money out of politics just like all the Democratic candidates have.Just not when it comes to his grifter son. I’ll vote for the guy to get Trump out, but status quo joe isn’t touching the swamp.
I find it funny that the people who describe themselves as ‘real Americans’ as opposed to the ‘elitists’ don’t realize they are being elitists themselves.I wouldn’t get offended.
Quote where I said someone’s vote should count less.
I only engage those conversations when people express their elitist disdain for rural voters. I don’t recall you ever making such a statement towards rural voters.
I also don’t recall you ever assertively challenging those who do for the same reasons you are so assertively challenging me.

Politicians are good at stating lots of thingsHis son is not involved in politics, and yes, Biden has repeatedly stated he wants to get money out of politics just like all the Democratic candidates have.
The party should pick their candidates. That isn't a flaw or a bad thing.
When you’re done beating up the poor straw man, give me a shoutI find it funny that the people who describe themselves as ‘real Americans’ as opposed to the ‘elitists’ don’t realize they are being elitists themselves.
Regardless, it’s shameful that you described winning due to the votes of people you don’t like as winning the ‘wrong way’. They are Americans the same as you.
Except Trump is gonna make Biden look senile and out of touch.
What in Joe Biden's history indicates he was involved in corrupt practices?Just not when it comes to his grifter son. I’ll vote for the guy to get Trump out, but status quo joe isn’t touching the swamp.
The difference is that neither endorsements nor candidates dropping out impacts the value of an individual vote. Mayor Pete/Klob voters were perfectly capable of ignoring the endorsements and voting for Sanders if they wanted. In contrast, the EC has some votes count for more than others, simply by virtue of arbitrarily drawn state lines.So what's the conspiracy ideation? The progressives complain about the endorsements because endorsements heavily favor the establishment side for obvious reasons. The same people who have no problem with endorsements tell us it's bad for certain states to go first or that the EC is fundementally unfair ironically dismissing that endorsements could effect a primary even more than EC does for the general, which probably tops out around 2% for most possibilities.
Neither are senile, imho. Both have problems expressing themselves perfectly in the 24/7 crucible of our modern political spotlight.LOL Trump is that way as well. Both are senile and out of touch.

Let me ask each and every one of you here, regardless of your fucking age:
Honestly, how do YOU think you'd hold up under the rigors of this unrelenting spotlight? Perfectly? Yeah, sure!
It absolutely is the party's job to "tip the scales" toward candidates that 1) represent the party's values/ideals/policies and 2) they think can win. Party politics aren't a democracy. This is exactly why I advocate to get government out of the business of helping party's pick their candidates through sponsoring primaries. Party functions should not involve government at all.Their job is to organize the Events around the selection process, not to tip the scales to particular candidates.
Tangential but related story.Neither are senile, imho. Both have problems expressing themselves perfectly in the 24/7 crucible of our modern political spotlight.

Not for the right reasons. If the swamp had an address, it would be the affluent suburbs of northern Virginia. They reject Trump because he’s brought chaos to the system they depend on to fund their soy latte lifestyles.
When I think blue Virginia, the unethical well educated consultant class comes to mind.
That they rallied so assertively for Biden tells me its Sanders they truly fear.
Never said he wasWhat in Joe Biden's history indicates he was involved in corrupt practices?
It is a Joe Biden problem and he will need to address it. Hunter Biden is an exploitable liability.If you are referring to Hunter that is not a Biden problem it is a corporate problem.
