Bernie's stance against capitalism and money in politics ruffled too many feathers in a political landscape dominated by wealthy mega-donors. There is no way in hell the RNC or DNC would allow someone like Sanders to actually become a nominee. Regardless of whether you love or hate Bernie, we should all agree that he should have been given a fair chance. Pissing off our wealthy mega-donors shouldn't be a factor that disqualifies a candidate. |
My, how quickly you have forgotten how unpopular Trump was in 2020. Trump was as unpopular in 2020 as Biden was in 2024. When your approval rating is below 40%, it means your support has dwindled to solely include your base die hard loyal voters or in other words, you've lost the swing voters in swing states and you have zero chance of success. 6 of Snow White's 7 dwarfs could have beaten Trump in 2020. Bill Cosby would have beaten Trump in 2020. Epstein's ghost would have beaten Trump in 2020. Skeletor would have beaten Trump in 2020.... yet you knuckleheads think a never been popular outside of Delaware 77 year old career long sleazy politician is the "only" person a major political party in our country can come up with to beat an opponent as weak as Trump was in 2020??????? lol, I just can't with you people anymore |
My, how quickly you have forgotten actual polling data from that time frame. lol, I just can’t with you people anymore. Here are some more lols and a ????? plus a !!!!! To make me sound extra smug! |
The guy was allowed to run as a Dem despite being an Independent. But let’s keep rehashing 2016 and 2020 pp. I agree that your constant shaking your fist at everyone else is so much better then the reality of Trump. I just wonder if it ever gets exhausting or if you will ever find something else to talk about. I guess regurgitating the same talking point over and over on every anonymous thread here works better than somewhere like Reddit. Now back to talking about crappy approval polls for Trump… |
to be fair, he did his job from the other side of the horseshoe |
| Sanders endorsed Democrats full throatedly. The problem was his supporters were a mix of morons and false-flag Republicans sowing discord |

Anyone familiar with polling, why do Trump's approval numbers from the Economist/Yougov poll not match the actual result tables that they directly link to?
For instance, Real Clear Reporting reports 43% while the link table (and the separate topline table they also release) show 39%. https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabReport_0AkNOQp.pdf https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econtoplines_6P3FccQ.pdf Is there some weighted table published elsewhere? If so, where is it? |
Or HRC was a horrible candidate. |
We must learn from our mistakes in order to prevent another Trump from happening in the future. Mistakes that aren't identified and acknowledged are likely to be repeated. Trump is going to be Trump and he'll hand the Dems another easy election victory in 2028 just as he did in 2020. Let's take that victory with an Obama or Clinton caliber of leader who will hold office for 8 years. |
We don’t need to go off topic rehashing it in every post in this board. Make a post about it and see if people want to discuss it. Make one every week for all I care. But diverting every post to your rants about how bad Biden, Trump and Dem mega dominate is exhausting. Regular posters get it by now. You aren’t teaching us anything. |
Interesting.... I didn't know my monthly posts had such a following. I'll back off. |
If you’re not the post who lols and uses !!!!!! in half your posts, I then probably not referring to you specifically. But there is some poster who diverts every thread to rehashing her hatred for Biden, Dem mega donors, and Trump, in that order. I am not even on this board that often and I notice it. It’s tiring and obnoxious. |
Because she was assailed by the right wing media eco-system for over 20years prior. |
My order of hate is mega-donors 1st since money in politics will continue to be a problem after Trump is dead, Trump 2nd because he is the worst POTUS ever by far, and then Biden 3rd because he is the second worst POTUS ever and he delivered Trump 2nd term to us. I still love my fellow Americans who were duped into Trump and Biden but I do hope they've learned a lesson by now because we won't last much longer without any form of appropriate leadership. In case you haven't noticed, you can read through most threads and find a lot of rehashing of the same points. In many cases, it's necessary to counter people who can't see the forest for the trees. |
