Politics 2020 Field - DNC

[Lanny]

Get out more. Expand your horizons. Read an encyclopedia or something. Maybe read an algebra textbook and you'll find something more hilarious.

I read most of the encyclopedia Americana when I was in high school 5 decades ago. And I practically choked on my linear algebra text book when it got to matrices involving differential expressions. I put that behind me over 4 decades ago.
I used to love to read the classics and technical books before I lost the eyesight in one eye and before I had the slow degradation of the eyesight in my other eye. Lucky for me, I got a lot of that reading done in my teens through 50s. Still, I really miss not be able to read War and Peace which I was never up to comprehending until my eyesight failed. I've also long wanted to read something by James Joyce and more from Joseph Conrad. Loved Lord Jim and highly recommend it.

Is it legal?

Yeah, as far as I know.

"Amendment XXII – Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than
twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two
years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the
President more than once..."

FDR says hello

FDR says hello

That was before they changed the law.

He still says hello!

FDR is the reason for the amendment.

FDR is the reason for the amendment.

I know...I thought it'd give you a chuckle...my joke percentage is like Shaq's free-throws...I mean, he's been dead a long time.

 

[Lanny]

If you mean that FDR was the reason they wrote the law then you'd be correct. If you meant something else then you need to humor me and be a little more direct. I'm slow to pick up on a lot of indirect points of view. That's just me and request others to please accommodate that shortcoming.

Dwight Howard just might be worse than Shaq in that regard.

F off Tulsi.

 

[jonnyboy]

Pretty sure she has already qualified.

She has not. She is one poll short, with two days remaining.

Smart lady.

She'll reach far more voters knocking on doors than the "debate" will reach viewers.

2020 DEM'S DEBATES LOWEST VIEWERSHIP OF ALL-TIME, #nobodycares, #justgoaway, #trump2020

Tulsi pulled a higher voter percentage in polls than Yang did, but the rigged criteria rewards Yang for less support.

Hillary's party is making sure Tulsi isn't around to challenge Hillary for her guaranteed nominee position.

The media has been really tough on Yang too. I’m glad he chose to boycott MSNBC for being so dishonest with their polling graphics.

 

[MarAzul]

My God!
Will the dems actually put Hillary on the ballot again?
She is the worst thing they have ever put on the ballot.
This can't be happening!

 

[MARIS61]

She's the Dem's favorite in the Harris poll.

Yang doesn't have any idea what the media being tough looks like. Being left off of a few graphics is pretty small stuff.

As opposed to what other candidates? Way to down play. A major media outlet inventing their own version of an election via omission is not “pretty small stuff”. It’s pretty corrupt stuff and it’s exactly how the establishment sandbags candidates they don’t like.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, this has got to be the funniest post today.

Well, for instance anytime a single issue about a candidate drowns out everything else. For instance, "Tulsi loves Assad". Maybe she does and maybe she doesn't, but I'll bet she thinks that coverage is unfair and I'll bet she'd rather be left off of a poll graphic.

Leaving a low-ranking candidate out of a graphic on polls is nearly meaningless. Those graphics help the leaders, not the also-rans. Nobody gets a boost from being shown at the bottom of the list.

Yup, I don't recall anyone running around with seven fingers in the air and chanting; "We're #7, we're #7, we're #7..."

Smears like that are aimed at low information voters. Most intelligent people don’t buy into illogical blanket statements like that. If anything they just help bolster the candidates campaign (unintentionally of course). Like Hillary making claims about Tulsi being a Russian asset. It did nothing but help her numbers. Yang and MSNBC will have the same effect, it’s just bringing more attention to candidates who actually have policies to run on besides “I’m a billionaire” or “I’ve been feeding off of taxpayers my entire career, so that means I have experience”.
The sad part is that once the scummy mainstream media smears backfire, they just result to blatant denial of the mere existence of candidates. When you black something out, people can’t see it, fyi.
You defending these tactics or pretending they don’t make a difference is just being intellectually dishonest. You are turning a blind eye because of your personal distaste for the candidates being affected by it. It’s kind of unfortunate that you feel you need to defend billion dollar corporations from grassroots campaigns.

The media had nothing to do with it. It happened because of the Democratic Party and the long held rules on the subject. Tulsi should have known wha

You guys’ defense of cheating is ridiculous. Just because you personally don’t like the people at the brunt of it doesn’t make it a good precedent to set.

You deserve Hillary or Biden.

Actually, fuck it. You deserve Trump. And it’s probaby what all this dishonesty is going to get you.

Sorry, but it's Trump committing all the dishonest. At least half the nation sees that.
