2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

Ipsos is not the best pollster, but I like what it was saying so I posted it
Honestly all of this polling is trash and I'm standing by my prediction of a massive biden flop..and before the other night I would have felt good about warren/bernie going 1 and 2, but it remains to be seen how hard liz played herself
It doesnt seem as if that poll is a qualifying poll
It's not very good and including someone who isnt going to be on many ballots sort of defeats the purpose of trying to predict results
It's an online poll.

Passive means not active, just like the fukking article you your damn self quoted. She wasn't an active Republican activist or operative out marching in the streets against civil rights or the women's liberation movement or any of the other political issues you're talking about. In fact, your article limits her "conservatism" to economics and belief in free markets while you're trying to turn her into a mix of Phyllis Schlafly and George Wallace. Just as there's no evidence that Warren was a radical left socialist, there's no evidence she was a radical right-wing fascist.
And here's a little history lesson for you, during this point in time ideological conviction wasn't strictly defined by party affiliation. Watch this neat little trick I can pull off. Elizabeth Warren was in the opposite party of George Wallace and Strom Thurmond! But let's bring it local. During this period in question, Oklahoma elected its first Republican Governor...who praised the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and pledged to do everything in his power to implement it
You must’ve sniffed one too many lines tonight. Leave that shyt alone bruh. It’s making your mind into mush
This is simultaneously the lengthiest and most bullshyt strawman I can recall in recent history.
NOWHERE did either I or the Atlantic article remotely suggest that she was somehow a fascist, authoritarian or George Wallace affiliate who burns crosses. We merely said she was a Republican. Maybe you think that’s a good thing. I don’t.
Now did you want to address my point? As a black man (right?) and a progressive (I think?) why would you trust someone who was a free market pro-corporate anti-consumer Republican during the civil rights era and had a change of heart from bankruptcy research as a law professor at age 46 over someone who chained himself to black women being arrested for protesting education discrimination to stand tall on the values you believe in?
Yeah she’s an excellent technocrat and she’s good on financial corruption. That doesn’t mean she’s the best candidate, as the president’s role encompasses more than finance and the economy as a whole. You’re pretty much making a case for her being a Treasury Secretary, Labor Secretary, or some other high-ranking economic position in an administration.

I thought the majority of polls or at least a good bit are now online

The bubble was fraudulent
How funny/humiliating will it be when Warren inevitably drops out and then decides to endorse Biden over Bernie (despite being a "progressive") on some sore loser shyt....only for Bernie to win the nomination regardless. That'll be a two Ls in one primary for her
People who watch too much tv and know fukk all about politics. That dude’s commercials are constantly on
Most of the qualifying polls are a mixture of landmine and online polls for greater accuracy.
The original bros
That's the funny thing
Bernie has the most female supporters. Most $$$ raised from women
People who keep parroting that Bernie bro stuff erase the women who make up his base. To paint this picture of sexism is to paint over the millions of women who support him

My claim isn't that Warren is a deeper or more fervent leftist than Bernie Sanders, it's that she is a trustworthy progressive who has a track record that gives me more faith in her abilities to execute on the progressive agenda than anyone else running. I wouldn't vote for Noam Chomsky over Bernie Sanders because the depth of one's ideological convictions is not the sole, or even overwhelming, trait I'm looking for when analyzing who should be the President of the United States.
The President's role also encompasses more than flying around the country giving stump speeches. You're pretty much making the case for Bernie being a celebrity or activist. I honestly think he would make a fantastic Vice-President. Let him go and do his thing holding rallies around the country and let Liz do the actual work of the Executive Office that is the Presidency.
It was in the Spring and Summer but the DNC took them off their list
You wondering if YangGang could qualify?
