Sorry Breh I live in California so my knowledge of the political inner workings of that state is limited at best

I come out $525 better under Medicare For All than my current healthcare costs

@Berniewood Hogan maybe on to something

I think touring the south when she first announced has helped her pick up some of the black vote.

Poverty, race and reparations: Sen. Elizabeth Warren sets tone for candidates campaigning in Mississippi | Mississippi Today

HuffPost is now a part of Oath

Warren building unlikely connection with black female voters

Also nap posted a clip of Democratic voters after the first debate a few days ago and most of the black voters overwhelmingly chose warren as the clear winner.

I'm surprised Iowa has enough black people for a focus group

 

[Serious]

There's a small, but slight possibily that black women may begin to rally behind Harris if they feel she's being ganged up on by the other candidates/media, again small but slight

Idk BW I know in real and on this site aint fukking wit her....

Like at all....

Heck @dora_da_destroyer is like the loudest proponent against harris on this site.

 

[mastermind]

there was no talk about hospital costs the last few nights. I thought that was interesting.

 

[Serious]

I was watching msnbc briefly post debate and kornacki had some data

Obamas favorables within the party is 97/3

But people also were about 44/56 or something like that in terms of going back to pre trump days or going forward with more of a progressive future

What i gather from that is people view obamas administration as a stepping stone period to something better rather than an acceptance of the status quo of the time. I think thats what biden is grappling with. He wants to embrace obama as much as he can but also needs to display forward thinking. Hes not doing a good job of articulating that..perhaps because he is so busy defending himself

Tbf biden was fighting a 9 front war last night...

Everyone was on the attack. he didnt come out leaking as badly as Harris though.

I'm not a fan of Joe Biden, BUT the Democratic party is underestimating how much Americans aren't with this open borders, decriminalization of illegals coming over here, giving illegals free healthcare, etc.

I'm sick of hearing about the damn border and so are a lot of Americans when we have our own issues.

So I do agree with Biden and these milquetoast White dudes on that issue.

you may think it’s stupid. But you think Obama would have won the black community if he was parading around a white wife?

Majority of black people like to see black couples together. Kamala knows this, which is why you rarely see her white husband anywhere with her, and she rarely ever mentions him

was just talking about this yesterday....

Obama married an unambiguously BW. That spoke volumes to me, because duke have easily got with a ambiguously bw,,,,

 

[JoogJoint]

Biden just called African Americans immigrants

Biden has always had tendencies. He's your typical old racist White Man.

Yep while I'm not a fan of the inhuman treatment in detention facilities or the breaking of families / communities to deport someone that's working a job I wouldn't do, I'm not a fan of open borders either.

 

[Serious]

Sigh.

When you hop on the Coli for a nuanced Black POV of the debates and immediately see Harris is a bedwench, Booker is a zesty sellout and Biden is racist takes...

@DEAD7


Only thing missing was labeling Gilbrand and Tulsi as PAWGs

Then let's not be honest with our language because none of the candidates are advocating open borders.

People use that term because they don't want to expose how they really feel.

 

[No1]

Is there any checks in the plan to make sure employers transfer extra savings to employees?

It’s not even an official campaign site. Some dude created it with no affiliation.

 

[Loose]

Trump going to have a lot of firepower for anyone who wins out at this point the way they're all throwing playmakers at each other
