Lol, this video also leads with a tease about “what is real about the corruption allegations against Joe Biden.” Any Dem nominee is going to be equally mocked/ridiculed/slandered by Trump/GOP. Pretending otherwise is foolish.
This. Biden will be corruption. Warren will be Pocahontas. Sanders will be socialism. Yang will be inexperience (with no sense of irony).

It's funny how scared those on the right are of young kids. Greta thunberg has riled up the conservatives to the point that they are now saying she's basically a Nazi. Like....fuck her for wanting to save the planet, right?
But if you're a Catholics schoolboy we must not talk bad about you. No....the attacks on the Covington kids were a problem. But this little girl? Nazi

They'll all get the socialism thing so might as well nominate the socialist.

Probably not a good thing that all / most of our candidates are so easy to make fun of.
Im not a Bernie first guy, but that's fucking stupid.
Warren was down 12 points in a poll like two weeks ago and that Komaki guy on MSNBC called it "within striking distance". Bernie makes history with a million unique donors around the same time a poll says he's down in Iowa by 12 and he needs to drop out. Not to forget he was leading polls in Nevada and NH... plus was in a statistical tie in Cali last week.
He is dropping in some polls but fucking nobody else is asked to do this. They were asking him in the Spring what he'd do when he lost. Just ridiculous.
Pretty legitimate question, and she said no, it’s too early. He’s been consistently dropping in the polls, though hasn’t he? I posed the same question about either Warren or Sanders a little while back, but I figured Biden would retain top position. If Warren can become the front runner then I think it’s a benefit to the progressive side of the party to have Sanders continue to campaign. I know a lot of progressives might disagree with seeing Warren as a front runner being a positive.

He's like two points behind Biden in NH on aggregate. He could very easily win that state, and he could win Iowa. There's no voting until February. It's a terrible question and should be derided.
Bernie has seen gains in some polls. This is all cable news narrative that he's been "consistently dropping" in polls. He's a frontrunner in Nevada and New Hampshire. He's gone down a little in Iowa. Ok. Maybe when they caucus in five months he'll do better than he did in this poll.
But I do actually think that rampant access to pornography has had negative psychological effects on a lot of my generation. I don't think we should turn into a nanny state like the UK, where they want you to prove you're 18 before accessing porn. But I think there's a discussion to be had here.

lol Typical Hollywood liberal having a moment of self-reflection. "This corporation that has made me filthy rich actually sucks shit?" Like is he just now realizing how awful Fox News is?
I would think not considering he's been a pretty outspoken liberal for a long while.
I'm proud to announce that Buttigieg is dropping out and will be pushing all support towards the progressive movement.

Exactly. Asking the person who is polling in third place to drop out while not more loudly calling for people who have never cracked double digits to drop is pretty blatantly biased. The DNC released the criteria for the next debate which keeps the bar pretty low, so for all their faults, it gives the appearance the DNC actually wants more people involved. You could make an argument that some of your lower tier candidates provide cover for Biden, but damn it, let me be positive.
P.S. Thinking about it, a three person debate with Biden v. Warren v. Sanders would end Biden's candidacy in an hour.
The guy who called Thunberg mentally ill can go die in a fire. Fuck him.
As for the Bernie polling, it's been clear for a long time that CNN and MSNBC will just say whatever for their corporate masters and encourage people to abandon Bernie.
Biden’s staff acknowledges that he misspoke, repeatedly, in this passage:
He meant to say the plan would double the federal budget, except for interest on the debt, not that it was twice the federal budget. He meant to say a tax on employers was like a deductible from your paycheck. (The line he used in the last primary debate was: “It’s going to cost you in your pay — there will be a deductible in your paycheck”). He meant to say the employer tax was 7.5 percent, not “5 percent and 4 percent.”
We understand politicians can misspeak — though Biden seems to do it more often than most — so we won’t be awarding Pinocchios.

The Pinocchios rating system is one of the most embarrassing things about American political discourse.
I mean, obviously the racism, classism, climate crisis denial, and general human rights abuse is bad. But holy shit, a room full of adults thought the best way to hold politicians accountable was with a fucking Pinocchio rating.

That's WaPo, right? I imagine they're more interested in making things easily digestible and appealing to a wide consumer base than they are in holding politicians accountable.

But Warren, who is running for president, isn’t the first Democrat to propose a wealth tax in recent years. During the 2016 Democratic primaries, Sen. Bernie Sanders proposed a more modest wealth tax as an option for financing part of his Medicare-for-all plan. And we might see other 2020 candidates propose wealth taxes.

Yea, it's Glen Kessler who works for WaPo. He's made a name for himself as a champion of fact-checking. He's covered the state department and international relations for decades and pushed ethical standards for journalism outlets and governments around the world and even worked to make Google take reliability into search standards. I'm pretty confident he's a Pulitzer winner too.
So with a resume like that it's just stupefying that he'd choose a goddamn wooden cartoon boy with a comically large nose as the starting point to discuss the most serious and pressing matters in the country. Nothing else about his career or WaPo's coverage is designed to talk-down to the reader. A 1 - 4 scale would be exactly as clear without being embarrassing.
