>>6 They were student loans so I can't. I took out loans for random degrees and then got refunded by dropping out the first week each time and passed the money straight to Bernie. It was literally the only way I could raise any money to donate then. Now I'm totally tapped since I don't/won't work.

Sanders enters the race as a top contender who, along with former Vice President Joe Biden, tops most early polls, far outpacing other Democratic candidates in support and name identification.

>>9 Depends on funding, they're recovering from midterms spend spree. I expect mass media shilling to start about early may in full force, as they will get funding and a good picture of how popular he is in the polls. Its likely they're centering on Kamala Harris and will try to coopt populist democrats to endorse her.

Biden has good poll numbers but its mostly because of Obama(he's seen as "Obama guy"), debates will ruin his chances vs populist democrats and any memes about groping will kill his reputation. Its the "centrist ticket" candidate now(Democratic party shifted left after Obama) that hangs on finding common ground with Centre/Right voterbase to win the general. Bernie is likely to overtake him in the polls.

To defeat Bernie, they'll basically need to run Kamala/Biden and coopt progressive by fronting Kamala as oppression olympics medalist and Biden as "moderate Obama guy" . Otherwise they split center-neoliberal(Warren/Biden) vs progressive votes - going to Bernie and various feminist harpies. Bernie has to outmaneuver the Opression Olympics circus, its his weak point(regardless of his past). From the outside, the battle of senile boomers to virtue signal the hardest will be entertaining.

Trump will definitely win against anyone the Democrats have rolled out as contenders recently. All I see are retarded boring people who Trump would easily roast to oblivion. People still don't realize that after Trump, new Presidents won't be the same anymore. You will never see a serious politician type like Mitt Romney. They have to be living memes. That's why I think AOC will eventually be President once she's old enough, possibly running alongside (or against) Kanye West for maximum meme potential.

There is a word for that, "professional politician", aka "out of touch elite". The modern politician has to be populist, in-crowd, "Fellow Kids" social media whore. Thats why Macron was on Twitch, to get (safely) with the popular crowds. The idea of manipulating a crowd is still as relevant as when "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind" was released with media only amplifying crowd psychology.

>>13 Thats easily countered: minimize and confine debates into left-wing issues: free healthcare, abortion, transgenderism to showcase how out of with modern culture the candidate is(however without getting into far-left SJW fantasy territory). Trump (who is getting older btw) has to force leftists to reductio ad absurdum endorsement of most far-left policies on the screen: i.e. doubling-down on Green Leap Forward/Post-birth abortion/Transgender prop/Black Reparations/etc. Democrats are not insane enough to allow this, but want to appear as progressive as possible.

Wonder why Climate Change is so urgent all of the sudden? What with "Green Leap Forward"/Green New Deal shilling?
Trump dismantling of EPA and Climate Change propoganda are spammed precisely because this is wedge issue that shows how out of touch the republican establishment is and media prepares the ground to 2020 by forcing it open: i.e. Trump has to appeal to "Climate is fake/Environment is protected by god" crowds doubling-down on "anti-environment" conservative mindset. The reason they choose climate/pollution/EPA its because its easier to coopt centrists/neoliberals and influence intellectuals(since the position on environment Trump takes is obviously wrong). Its a safe issue too: they not going to have any Green New Deal, they want to make it a central, safe point to win public mind over more contentious economic policies implied by it. Are you against saving nature and for destroying the environment, you priviliged cis-male bigot? <--basically the entire point.
Chelsea Clinton is developing a distinctive, sometimes sassy, Twitter voice, bringing the fire on Twitter lately. Freed from the constraints of her mother's political ambitions, Clinton, 36, has taken to the medium, posting frequently and weighing in on current events with a distinctive, sometimes sassy, voice America hasn't heard before.
In a September 2016 E! News interview alongside her mother, Clinton declared Twitter her favorite social platform. She's been @ChelseaClinton since August 2012, and her account now boasts 1.44 million followers. The former first daughter was always somewhat mysterious to the millennial crowd that grew up alongside her as her father occupied the White House during her teenage years. But in 2012, she told Vogue that she learned to embrace her celebrity, something she decided during the frenzied media coverage of her wedding to Marc Mezvinsky.
She has used humor to tackle a series of difficult issues. Retweeting a link about an Arkansas law that will let rapists sue victims who want an abortion, she wrote: "Unconscionable - if only also unreal. Never thought I'd be wishing anything was fake news."

>>20 Clintons are quietly endorsing Kamala as candidate. "Quietly" to avoid triggering non-centrist democrats. Probably will be behind eventual Kamala/Biden ticket.

Most likely Democrat strategy is to present a :Big Tent: unification of neolibs(Biden/Warren) and leftists(Kamala/AOC/Sanders), dodging far-left policy committments(Green Leap Forward/Socialism ) and making themself the "moderate choice" for conservative/centrist voting base. 2016 replay is unlikely, Trump is losing support. The only way Trump wins is a strong split in democrat camp - and it will be a really narrow win with protest votes/abstaininers deciding. I can't see how Trump gets a second term unless major mistakes on the left occur..I also think Bernie could be easily coopted to endorse centrist dems, so Republicans have much tougher chances.
I hate sound engineers so much, they always botch good songs
Hardly. All songs are pure Jew filth unless written pre-industrial revolution.

RADICAL CENTRISM candidate appears: Yang exploits that Bernie doesn't commit to concrete basic income promises(instead Bernie proposes vague socialist reforms), this is going to be key issue with lots of NEETs and laid off workers pivoting towards the UBI candidates without the far-left flavor.
Yang understands the psychology of American materialism, policies are carefully constructed but vague enough to appeal to most centrists/independents. He will not get most Bernie voters, not socialist enough, but minority vote would be dependent on how hard 1000$ will pushed into the limelight - and Bernie voters blindly follow minority celebs, forcing either Bernie to hard-commit to concrete UBI value or to resign the field to Yang.
He'll cut into Biden/Warren voterbase, depending on exposure or will become a third camp which will force policy debate to include his "Radical Centrism" platform(solving issues with technology).

>>38 Bernie(and most of farleft) feeds the masses vague promises of vast socialist reforms(that would require full cooperation of house/senate and "deep state" bureaucracy), "pie in the sky socialism". Yang sets out concrete goals and policies that seem reachable and fair: e.g. his gun control policy isn't plain "grab the guns, fuck the law" of average CURRENT YEAR politics, its introducing a system of control over guns that allows their use with economic disincentives to misuse.
