And what would my goal here be in reading up on ethics regarding Bernie Sanders of all people? If it has to do with radicalization or socialism or something, Bernie is milquetoast as fuck.


He probably will say something about liberty and quote an economist who thinks children should be able to be trafficked, like Rothbard:
Quote
Thus, Rothbard stated that parents should have the legal right to let any infant die by starvation and should be free to engage in other forms of child neglect. However, according to Rothbard, "the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children".


Creepy right wing economist.

Milquetoast compared to what? Radical communists who dont bother trying to make their views more coded and palatable?

Communism is evil garbage. Your mind has been poisoned. Become educated, or don't. Your choice.

if we're looking at it honestly a black woman VP motivates a lot of black votes, and i think that amount out numbers the people willing to vote for trump because of Biden's crime bills or Harris' prosecution record.

and i think the number of blacks not voting because of Biden/Harris is larger than either number.

so new black voters minus black voters for trump MINUS blacks not voting might give trump a slight boost. i still think Biden/Harris will outperform HRC/Kaine in the black vote.


Obviously its anecdotal, but Kamala got one of my roommates to not vote 3rd party for Jo and go cast for Joe/Kamala once she saw Kamala in the VP debate.
Basically seeing her act tough towards Pence made her more comfortable voting for them, especially with the prospect of Joe dying or bowing out in the near future.

this is actually false. economic indicators were slipping pre covid.

and you cant just blame covid. if trump actually worked with the states instead basically letting covid run rampant it would probably be a lot better.

you have a more severe case of TDS - trump devotion syndrome which blinds you harder it does to your momma when i shoot my load in her eyes


World economy slipped during Chinese lockdown, economy was on an all time high before that. A dishonest person that's what you are

that's a cute write up, but if we're being honest a black dude got elected and trump was the blowback.

yes there are factors like outsourcing, environmental regulations, gun control, gay rights, cj reform, etc.

but if u had to make the simplest answer its that a black guy got in and they elected a vocal white guys who hated the black guy.

people like to use sneaky language around the Obama presidency, "he divided us", "polarization started with obama" etc. while leaving out a big part of the division was that he was black.

this is america.


Obama voters in the Midwest turned against the Democratic party. Iowa is a great example.

For the "simplest answer" to be true, we need these voters to simultaneously have elected a black man and be upset about it. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Obama's race-baiting, on the other hand, (see Ferguson, Trayvon Martin) was definitely an aggravating factor.

shifting suburban centrist voters and national polarization aren't the same thing. especially because centrist voters aren't subject to polarization as much as party line voters. its the party line voters that get out en masse to support trump and convert others, same for the bernie bros.

what im saying is pretty simple, if we are measuring the premise "polarization got way worse under Obama" then the lowest common denominator is racism. im willing to listen to the argument that polarization predates obama and the largest factor is outsourcing, thats my actual belief, but with obamas presidency in a bubble.....

edit: so are you saying Obama's "he could have been my son" comment is more effectual than Obama's blackness?

What fundamentally elected Trump is a shift of working class voters away from the Democratic party, voters who supported Obama's 2008 run.

Simultaneously, suburban voters who voted against Obama defected in an accelerated fashion towards the Democratic party.

The Republican additions were far more strategically placed, and had an outsized impact on the electoral map.

The working class vote has always been culturally aligned with Republicans. As the Democratic platform pivoted to coastal urbanites and minorities, they lost the hold that their economic policy had in shoring up working class support.

Edit: To summarize, the working class voters who helped elect Obama turned away from him, and the wealthy suburbanites who opposed his run now support his party. These trends predate Obama, but they accelerated during his administration.
