So, before this discussion you had no idea why Montana and Maine were low population states. And you’re still in the same boat now? How am I supposed to carry on?
Prolly by posting other unsupported assertions; that seems to be your MO.
I was challenging an assertion, just like you think you’re doing. Sheesh.
For some reason Biden told Sanders he’s vetting VP picks.
Do we need another EC debate? If we do, then perhaps another thread?
Why not? It’s time. Vetting is a long and difficult procedure.
But an individual Californian’s vote in either a Presidential or Senate election matters less than such votes in any other state. That’s just math.
There are scarcely little emphasis put on the rural vote now, so how would that be any different? All emphasis is put on a handful of swing states - none of which is especially rural, and most of the campaigning there is in their cities, as you would expect.
There’s already a VP selection thread, I believe. Take this there, maybe?
You made an assertion; I did not. When asked to back it up, you did not or could not. So your assertion was unsupported by any facts. Heck, you admitted you aren’t even informed enough to have an opinion, yet there you were posting it.
Please spell out my assertion? Quotes will help.
I guess I am wondering why Biden told Sanders about the vetting, not that he was doing the vetting. Was that a way to say don’t waste your time Bernie?
Bernie is doing his damnest to make sure trump wins.
CarnalK, Bo
Give it a rest, both of you.
In addition, CarnalK this is the second thread I’ve had to tell you to give it a rest in the last few days. One more and I’m tossing you from P&E for a week.
He isn’t though.
Whether you agree with him or not, it’s pretty clear that Bernie is a man of conviction, who believes America needs to make certain changes, and has been consistently campaigning for those changes most of his adult life.
It shows how screwed up politics is in the US that people would consider that helping the political opposition. :dubious:
Bernie spent millions on TV ads claiming falsely that Biden wants to cut Social Security.
How is that “a man of conviction”? And that is helping trump. It didnt help Bernie, that’s for sure, and those ads were after Super Tuesday, when Bernie has pretty much lost.
And by continuing to stay in the election, he is thus encouraging his Bernie-Bros to keep attacking Biden. Which they are.
Sanders keeps saying we all need $2k a month until the virus problem is done. No way in hell that would ever pass Congress.
Biden and Pelosi are working on a second round of payouts. I think we might get a second round.
I dont think Sanders idea is crazy, but if passed it would contain so many times more $ for trump, his cronies and the billionaires it might not be worth it.
It’s already passed. The federal government is paying $600/week unemployment through July. On top of the unemployment from the states.
Yesbut- thats only if unemployed. It doesn’t help those who who have extra expenses or reduced income.
Still, it’s pretty nice.
Unlike Florida and Florida’s despicable Governor who reduced UC, made it hard to qualify, and now it’s nearly impossible to file in Florida. All to save businesses money on their UC claims & insurance. Pretty much if you are in Fla and out of work, you are fucked.
Um, yeah. He’s telling Bernie to get lost in the nicest way. “I’m leading. You can follow or get out of the way.”
