Voters saying they trust Biden more in a crisis
how?
Im sure hes the one to trust to remember where the emergency exit is
and your still not able to deal with the fact that every major power in the US political system is plotting against Bernie sanders
Actually I fully understand that’s happening. He still wouldn’t have enough votes anyway but go ahead and act like the Trump cult 💀
People really still not able to deal with the fact that Biden just has more people voting for him lol

Who's lying to these people?
Mississippi is a state that still has a confederate symbol on their state flag and has a state university with Rebel as a mascot.
and your still not able to deal with the fact that every major power in the US political system is plotting against Bernie sanders
Bernie’s base is not showing up. Where’s the conspiracy?
wonder how they'd work during economic collapse
Just like anything else during economic collapse
It actually is really hard to set up polling locations and staff them and they pretty much don’t meet their expectations by default every election
When they have to reduce the number and consolidate polling locations and everyone cries “voter suppression” that’s because they literally cannot get enough bodies to staff them
There's a large consensus within academia that the majority of polling stations are being closed within minority neighborhoods, though.
Communities of people are unable to voice themselves.
Quote from article:
"The 50 counties that have experienced the greatest increases in African-American and Latino populations had 542 polling sites closed between 2012 and 2018, while those with the lowest increases in minority populations had only 34 closures."
Here's the article about it

Whether it is a lack of resources, or pure discriminatory actions, there is nothing being done to fix this. Horrible.
Why value one community over another?
It's because the people who are in power are in the counties without large minority populations. No one is making a huge fuss about it, so therefore, they can continue to actively suppress this community. They continue to let the resources fall out of the communities hands without intervening.
On a national level, there is voter suppression.
People f***ing stand in line for hours to vote. On a Tuesday. And we don't even make it a holiday.
Our citizens work 9-5 Monday to Friday.
How is the working class able to voice themselves? Who the f*** wants to stand in line for five hours?
For the people who can, they have to either be old enough to not have to work, rich to not have to work or, they suck it up and stand in the cold after their 8 hour shift. Who wants to do that?
A simple solution is mail-in-balloting. Baffles me how it is 2020 and nothing has been done so far.

We should definitely have federal holidays to vote, too. I have honestly never even heard a good counter argument against doing this.
I don't know why people are surprised that exit poll and mainstream "viability" has turned into a meaningless "beating trump" instead of "agreement on issues". The mainstream of modern US politics has always been rooted in a pseudo-individualism (which mirrors collectivism but diverges from its implications) which is purported by putting "their team" in power to serve an illusion of self-interest. "Agreement on issues" implies a collective stance which serves a universal objective rather than a projection of individual self-interest. Many people don't care about candidate or message because they (in large populations, not individually) care less about the direct contextual traits of the presidency than they do the meta-contextual elements. They perceive things like media portrayals and discussions on social media as being more aptly adjacent to their self-interest than "issues" because nuances in the status quo as established often wouldn't change their lives regardless - especially when you look at older people.

We have these other dumbass holidays that are all about buying and consuming but not one for a civil right

Plus, a lot of people would be out shopping, eating out and spending money anyway if they had the whole day off to go out and vote

America is a big farce tbh
Such a joke
On g not voting for the DNC until they transform as a party. Third parties are the wave or staying home.
Bernie’s base is not showing up. Where’s the conspiracy?
He has no answer for this. Just like the Trump cult, if Bernie loses must be a conspiracy behind it.
We can acknowledge the DNC is against him while also realizing Biden simply has more voters at this point.
All this makes me fight harder for my own goals.
I fight to see the world that Bernie fights for
Exit polls looking good af in michigan for bernie
57-38 medicare for all
49-45 complete overhaul of economy vs status quo
Such a joke
Wait why is this a bad thing? The last debate was super biased against Bernie?
Such a joke
Im for this actually in general but i wanted the stakes high for this nxt one in particular so biden could f*** up

It was the same in 2016... They clearly hated Bernie, but they never really did anything. People have to bring up stuff like telling Hillary the fact that infrastructure questions would be brought up in Flint as evidence of rigging. Hillary took a strong lead, and besides a couple upsets after ST, she never really looked back.
