I'm discussing the Democratic party and how they are losing voters.

Whether you believe it or not, the DNC has put the thumbs on the scales before, they're doing it now and a part of that is the debate criteria and how which polls count and others don't. You're looking at it as tho "oh this poll is not qualifying for everyone, so how is it targeting tulsi" and not at the why is this poll not qualifying considering all of the facts of this poll? On top of that why are they so hush hush about it?

But that's not the same thing as saying the DNC is out to get Gabbard which is the narrative that's been pushed by her campaign and many supporters for months now. 

Is it odd they don't count that as a qualifying poll?  Sure.  Did they intentionally leave out that poll for the purpose of harming Gabbard's election?  No.

I mean.. I'm not so sure about that 2nd one. I'm not sure if its to harm Tulsi or protect others from her as its been legitimately stated by Kamala's campaign that it was Tulsi exposing her record that has put her in that position. But yea, Tulsi recently appeared on the Joe Rogan Podcast, where she discussed 2016 and her endorsement of Bernie and what the other people in the party told her once she did that. It was essentially a "you just killed your political career" kinda thing. I'm much more cynical than you in this regard, and I've followed numerous things including the DNC lawsuit where the DNC legit argued that they don't have to nominate they're candidate democratically. They can go in a backroom and say "this is our nominee" if they want to. (Its out there, look it up). I'm not sure which part of the podcast it is, it was over 2 hours long but yea.

With beto now out, I find I must find a new favorite. While i find Biden the most electable, he worries me about his debate skills. I worry trump will be able to twist his words and ruin his chances.

I personally do not like Harris or gabbart one bit. Bloomberg and that other billionaire are just trying to buy the election. Bernie is too radical on several positions for me. Yang is a joke imo. Booker stands no chance to win, though I dont mind him.

That's leaves Warren and Buttigieg. I think I'm starting to really like Buttigieg. He has good positions and is young. I wouldnt mind Warren though. I'm for now on pushing for Buttigieg, I think he can carry the rust belt and get the orange trash out of the white house.

So go Buttigieg and if not, Warren will do.

Might I ask which positions?

This sounds pretty good to me

I meant which positions of Bernie's do you find too extreme?

I'm posting a Tier just because, why not?

Tier 1: Pragmatic Center-Left
1. Amy (I know she doesn't stand a chance, but neither do most of the candidates)
2. Pete (I'll ride this hype train until it crashes in South Carolina)
3. Biden

Tier 2: The Warren Tier
1. Warren

Tier 3: I don't know what these people want or stand for
1. Harris (It's a shame. I had high expectations for her)
2. Booker

Tier 4: Ego, vanity campaigns.
1. Bloomberg (In another reality, he could have been a good candidate. I despise him for running now)
2. Steyer (Debate spam)

Tier 5: No explanation needed.
1. Sanders (At least he has good intentions)
2. Yang

Tier 6: Kremlin-backed Republicans
1. Trump
2. Gabbard

Fascinating, what a difference someone like Moren(oingrato? I didn't realize it was that easy to change this...) sees between Bernie and Warren. He seems to see as much difference as Uran does, but from the opposite perspective. Meanwhile, other people like myself, Jaicee, and tsogud see only a slight difference between them.

Yeah. There are some differences in style of how to talk about things, but on actual positions they are pretty close.

Literally who 'dis?

(May become a running theme for me)

You can say it some times more, as still more people are running than are out. We could bet, if the list of drop-outs is bigger or smaller than the list of runnign candidates, when Iowa comes and I have a strong feeling it might be bigger. Iowa itself though will be the end of a many campaigns.
