I totally agree with your assessment of their qualities and agendas, but I still think you overestimate their appeal to segments of the electorate which are vey different from us d2jsp users.


Tulsi will never get the shine or respect she deserves. She would have been an excellent President and as far as first female President goes it doesn't get any better

Yang will go down in history as a Bernie type and get more respect and shine. Ahead of the game nationally on UBI but still later than we all should have been discussing it and automation

I'll probably end up writing in Tulsi at the end but will support Weld whenever the Democrats go with whatever person I'm not going to support

agreed

jsp pard is a largely privileged lefty bubble. out of touch with America’s needs and only focused on who screams “i want this” the loudest while claiming the most oppression. Zero desire for actual problem-solvers
that said even with traction yang and or tusli would have to prove “useful” to the (D) party for them to get the backing that Obama or Hillary got.

politifact 'fact checks' some badly edited facebook image
The guy's facebook they linked to had a total of 3 comments at the time they linked to it. It has 53 reactions and 148 shares now, and I'm guessing it only had 10-20 of each tops before they linked to it on a national website.

I'm trying to fathom: Somewhere in America right now, someone is being unironically paid to dig up completely random facebook posts by literal nobodies, that had zero exposure, and 'fact check' them as a cherry picked example to further a narrative of disinformation.
I can understand the motivation, but I can't wrap my head around the idea that someone is actually getting paid to do this.

sounds like literally every single ghot / shill 'meme'...

that being said, let's just pretend like that kind of post isn't exactly the shit that people like you and ghot see in their little bubbles and go crazy about, like this isn't exactly the kind of stuff that the current president of the united states wouldn't 'like' or 're-tweet', suggesting to tens of millions of americans that it's true...

There are people all over the country working for the sole purpose of making other people rich, with no other benefit to society. How can activity that produces capitalistic value actually produce no objective value?

Those capitalist ethics. Not only is there a person digging up old facebook photos and fact checking them, under our ethical Good-and-Bad system that activity and person is much more valuable to society than a teacher, social worker, nurse, case manager, etc, who are actually helping the people of Earth.

False equivalency fallacy. These people are paid to destroy and lie, not to create or serve.

Benie Sanders voters tend to be low-information, ADHD, fat, and politically uninvolved

could you link the poll please? i'd be interested to look into how they came to that conclusion. i mean, it's not a secret that legacy media is incredibly hostile and biased toward progressive candidates, but if they have actual data to back that up i'd be very interested in reading it.
