Forums - Politics Discussion - Official 2020 US Election: Democratic Party Discussion

Jaicee on 12 February 2020

It's now official:

In a new update, 98% of the New Hampshire vote has now been tallied, and the vote tally has consequently risen to a record total of 293,550 with more votes still to be counted. By the time all votes are accounted for, the total may well reach 300,000!

What explains this sudden burst of energy when just last week saw turnout for the Iowa caucuses comparable to 2016 levels instead? Well, given that 79% of New Hampshire's Democratic voters described themselves as "angry" at the president (which I believe is a new record; it's certainly a higher share than the 62% who described themselves as "angry" at Bush in 2008), I believe the acquittal of President Trump by the Senate, which notably occurred in-between the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, probably had something to do with it. The Senate's inexplicable acquittal of a clearly guilty president almost entirely along party lines appears to have shaken Democrats (and Democratic-leaning independents) out of their previous lethargy by ensuring that the only plausible way Trump can be removed from office now is at the ballot box. Now opponents of Trump are motivated to show up and vote!

uuhhhhh

That's how it's always been.

I mean, there's more nuance than what Twitter fanatics say.

Sanders was widely expected to win by everyone, won by a margin less than 2%, got the exact same result polls predicted. That's not exactly news.

Klobuchar outperformed polls by 9% of the vote and crushed Biden and Warren despite being vastly outfunded by either of them. 

News pundits are just talking about the surprise of the night rather than the expected result. Not everything is a conspiracy against Bernie.

So apparently Chris Mathews of CNN is absolutely livid that Sanders won New Hampshire and is an undeniable front runner. He alluded to on air that Sanders would establish executions in Central Park and that Matthews himself would be a victim. He sounds like Alex Jones, Sean Hannity or Ben Shapiro right now. The latter who recently stated that for Sanders plans to work the government is going to have to kill a lot of people.

EDIT:  Yikes, it's gets worse.  He now fully expects Sanders will execute all his political enemies if he is elected.

Chris Mathews tears are delicious, LMAO😂. 



Proud to be a Californian.

Wow, this is worse than the hand-wringing over Jeremy Corbyn.

And you also had Chuck Todd from NBC comparing Bernies supporters to brown shirts. You know, the nazis. Kind of disgusting when you realize Bernie is of Jewish origin.

Whaaaat? LMAO I knew CNN was incompetent, but this is a new low for them. Chris Mathews needs to be fired, or else CNN looks almost as bad as Fox News.

I don't see how that is going to work out, he's just too logical for politics and regular politicians to work with. Him & Bernie are my fave candidates, but I don't think they'd work well together.

With that said, if he is willing to work with any of the democratic nominees, it should be Bernie. Cheat Pete and Lying Liz are only after him to get that much needed edge, not because they believe in him or his message.
