i just think it's sad that bernie is pivoting to running on his raw sexual appeal rather than policy, y'know

Just checked the first 538 draft back from 2017, and you know who idiot pundit Nate Silver picks with his first pick? BERNIE FREAKING SANDERS (senator of Vermont). I mean, what a centrist doofus, right?

if we made a "debatable value of data science in political reporting / Nate Silver dogpile / 538 generally" thread could we keep that shit in there

We could try, but I doubt it as long as xyzzz is on the board. But it's an important discussion.

Paying my respects to Data Science rn

Fred, can you read the thread title? Do you understand it?

Do you wonder at all why other posters are in here offering criticism of Bernie but you seem to be the one getting the blowback? It's because you are here to provoke.

The thing is, there's a thread for the primary. How about staying out of here and using that one instead.

marxists are into hardcore history?

i mean i could dig back through a few hundred silver tweets and all their awful slack chat "snake draft" posts and everything else but i already feel embarrassed enough about reading those the first time. i stand by my conviction that silver is a lousy, centrist pundit but I recognize that this is not a post that will persuade anybody to co-sign that opinion.

Stealing policy from Labour 😂🤣

🔥🔥🔥@KillerMike on MSNBC:

"We need an alternative to the two choices we’ve been given. @BernieSanders is not starting the revolution—he’s continuing the revolution. It’s the same revolution that Dr. King fought, that the SCLC fought, that Eugene Debs and Lucy Parsons fought.” pic.twitter.com/EuNVv0xzdP

Bernie Sanders' associations paint a pattern of proximity to antisemitism, which raises the question: Is it that he really doesn’t notice, that he’s willing to tolerate it, or that he somehow also supports it?https://t.co/yinzXFICmH

This all sounds familiar to me

been looking forward to it

I've been wondering whether they were going to try and import that idiocy to the US.

Very good op-ed by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/10/opinion/bernie-sanders-multiracial-workers.html

So this "proximity to anti-Semitism" means what exactly? And this proximity is discovered among Bernie's "associations"? And we are supposed to question why he "tolerates" this? Can criticism become any more attenuated than this?

Meanwhile, we currently have POTUS who eats kittens. Not literally, of course. He's more into taco bowls and KFC. But I think we all know what I meant.

We've seen this script before, but just want to point out that akm did complain about Sarsour being a surrogate back in September, and the main reaction on here was, and I paraphrase, 'nobody knows who she is'.

still accurate AFAIK

So far.

Sarsour adopting white supremacist rhetoric and blatantly lying about Israel — the realized, radical notion that Jews deserve a homeland like every other people

Stopped reading after this made my head hurt.

a homeland like every other people

The Kurds would like a word with you.

Another very interesting polling result at that link is the one showing the second choice of the supporters of each candidate. I was particularly fascinated by the second choices of Biden's voters. Also, it seems like Klobuchar, who is polling 10%, just behind Warren's 12%, is almost nobody's second choice.

Warren only 2 points ahead of Klobuchar, Christ that's sad. I should stop caring now shouldn't I. I would love for Bernie to get the nom but as for how that affects his personal prospects frankly we might as well just pillory him. But at least if you consider the Bernie/Warren support as a solid bloc then it still looks decent.

Good to see Warren and Sanders supporters having each other's backs.

I've definitely started to ponder if Warren is dropping low enough that I may have to vote for Bernie instead. Not thrilled with this turn of events.

do it, do it, do it

We'll see. I guess what I'll say is that a scenario where either Warren or Sanders is far behind is maybe preferable to one where they're at parity and seriously cannibalizing each other's votes.

Mr. Sanders is the favorite candidate among black women aged 18 to 34. Only 49 percent of his supporters are white, compared with 71 percent of Warren supporters. Perhaps most surprising, more women under 45 support him than men under 45.

the white chauvinist berniebro is a myth. i support him because he discusses the working class as it is -- multiracial and encompassing all genders; overwhelmingly comprised of service and care workers,

I have until mid-May before I have to make a final choice. I'm pretty sure there will be a viable candidate remaining who I can stomach. My state makes so little difference to the outcome that it is never a nail-biter to decide how to vote anyway.

I generally tend to think the whole "mainstream media's out to get Bernie" line is overcooked but that is pretty goddamn ridiculous. then again, the Times did just run an op-ed extolling Bernie's virtues a couple of days ago, right?

tbf, it's not a real headline

it is, but I also think the "POC love Bernie" line remains a myth until it translates into actual votes. ofc I'm talking about the entire generational spectrum here, I fully recognize that young Dems of all races are firmly pro-Sanders.

ah, I didn't read the replies. so I guess I'll file this one away under "Persecution Complex" then.

even the Pod Save boys are feeling the Bern

Bernie Sanders' chances of winning the nomination are being underestimated and under-discussed. He might be the candidate with the best chance to sweep IA, NH, NV before we ever get to South Carolina. https://t.co/pDuwwWuS2W

it was a joke, dad

yes, i'm aware. but getting the joke relies on acknowledging its proximity to reality.

even nate was tweeting about how sanders could win the nomination so i guess he's not an idiot anymore whew!

if only his campaign was "going well" :-/

If Sanders loses, the fight continues. If Sanders wins, we celebrate for one blissful evening and then the fight dramatically escalates, which is both terrifying and the whole point
