When did I say there were only 3? I used them as examples. Also, you are exaggerating how many are going to be competitive. Texas for example is not going to be competitive. It's still too red. Beto looked strong because he did have a nice movement down there but more importantly Cruz is hated. Trump will not lose in Texas.
Right here
unless you're a voter in Michigan or PA or Wisconsin this line of thinking means nothing
Maybe you meant unless you are a voter in a swing state. Also I did not exaggerate. Current polls show a close race in Texas between Trump and whoever the Democratic nominee is. Some polls even have the democratic nominee leading.

Uh yeah, I didn't feel like listing them all my point was you already know how most states will play out so this narrative that Trump can't be beaten to me is false, all it takes is a couple of the swing states that he surprisingly won in 2016.. by the narrowest of margins.. to come back to reality and in Michigan especially the Dems did very well in the midterms

get Buttigeg outta here
I’ve been ignoring politics this semester so I was confused as hell to see that his stock has risen so much. I must have missed something.
this is the thing

if you look at input costs vs. actual costs across all health-related services, it comes out to robbery. why does anyone think that industry, with the most inelastic demand possible, deserves any profit?
one thing I believe is no matter how well off I am or how healthy I am individually, my life is materially made worse if people in my community are suffering. helping other people helps me. maybe not always immediately, maybe not always materially, but at some point improving the health of the nodes of a system improves the whole system. it's like Indra's Net.
These two points pretty much sum it up. Universal coverage benefits pretty much everyone financially and it’s just morally the right thing to do. It’s wild that so many people oppose it.

klobuchar may permanently ruin pete
bernie and biden probably didnt really move much, maybe bernie moved a little more positively but it is an accomplishment for biden to not gaff himself out of there. warren is still in a slow decline. yang has hit is ceiling. steyer needs to go home.

i dont believe there are enough ideologically compatible voters for him to go up that far before having to drop out. he would probably need a combination of tulsi voters and bernie voters to move to him and i can only see tulsi quitting before yang has to. if he got 100% of her voters, he would still be at single digits

One thing with Yang, he has enough money to go through Super Tuesday
