Support NeoGAF

[aspiegamer]

Oh just shoot me now, jesus christ.

I hate making blanket statements about low-information Sanders voters. So I won't. But this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. The vast majority of the younger voters in this state probably don't even understand how our Supreme Court works, why it matters or what the stakes were. Hell, they weren't even of legal voting age when the Walker SaGa began.

He seems more enthralled with the attention while completely lacking on details as seen in the latest interview and in strategy by ignoring to tell voters who else to vote for in the primary. Almost narcissistic in a way.

Didn't think it was previously possible, but I'm physically starting to hate Bernie. Like a combination of "old man yells at cloud" and a socialist version of Trump.

Bernie says we'll pass gay marriage in all 50 states in this country.

Which. Like.
Should we tell him?

 

[teiresias]

I fucking hate this revolution

I'm going to need a definition for "several", I mean, the tweeter apparently has the exit poll data, just throw percentages in there. "Several" makes it sound like, "Oh we found five Sanders voters who didn't give a crap about the WI SCOTUS election."

...Is there a link?

Because holy hell, dont tell me now he doesn't even watch the news and has been living under a rock?

Seriously?

 

[SenorArdilla]

Wasn't Bernie's whole message that people needed to vote in the right people at the local level to start his revolution ?

No. No, he could not have been that dumb. I refuse to believe anyone can be that dumb.

Mashable deleted the tweet. I think there was more in context but I'm on my phone.

His message and actions have always been 100% about him, he doesn't give a crap about anyone else.

 

[watershed]

Bernie's simple rhetoric for a simple revolution depends on low-information voters. But I don't think anyone else's supporters are particularly better. Hillary herself may have more depth of understanding of the issues than Bernie, but that doesn't mean her voters do.

Correx: Sanders’ comment about gay marriage was re: past successes, not future ones, illustrating what happens "when people stand up.”

you dorks~

[catmincer]

Kinda wondering if he's legitimately going a bit senile. He says some really bizarre things.

 

[Holmes]

Grandpa Bernie isn't that senile..yet!

 

[ivysaur12]

Makes much more sense.

Guns are a big issue for that paper, not surprising. Also not surprising because they do love them some provocative headlines.

You think people would realize this. Look at Bernie's entire political history. He has never supported anyone but himself. Numerous politicians rose up in Burlington to back his message when he was mayor and he would never actually support them or campaign for them.

 

[Wilsongt]

PopGAF and gay slang is permeating more and more of PoliGAF.

Spilling the t, receipts, cold/hot/warm t... Hm.

 

[Loudninja]

Yeah I am soo over this stuff man.

 

[Slayven]

I fucking hate this revolution

Low information voters

Well this is typical from many popular figure on the left. The idea is the system doesn't work, we need a revolution, etc., so they'll never support anyone in the system because that is the equivalent of saying the system works or can work. That's why to them nothing is ever good enough, and why they are rarely pragmatic and are willing to let the worst come to power just to make their case, just to get more support for the "revolution".

Bernie is running for the presidency, so he's not even being entirely honest with what he believes, he had to adjust to make his campaign a bit more viable. The fact is he thinks the best course of action is having the Republicans block everything, and having people protest massively to "change" things, somehow. A real revolution.

Low information voters

The real irony of this whole election: so-called "low information" voters are the only reason Democrats and progressives will be able to hold on to the progress we made over the last eight years.

As if I needed my FB wall to become even more obnoxious. Thanks WI.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. That's really harsh IMO.

No way.

edit: I'll take it.

I'm so fucking mad about Bradley. FUCK. What is the point of your fucking revolution if you don't vote in the fucking downticket elections you fucks.

Milwaukee is getting closer. Probably a 49% vs 50% finish.

14 points, even 15 when all is said and done.

I'm so fucking mad about Bradley. FUCK. What is the point of your fucking revolution if you don't vote in the fucking downticket elections you fucks.

To be less severe it was "only" 15% of them (to Clintons 4%). Still kind of dumb, though. You are not electing a King.

Cenk really is delusional. Love how he is twisting himself into a knot trying to keep the dream alive.

Which sounds pretty good for Bernie until I remember that he needs more than 15.

He had a good night, but not good enough.

 

[Tranqueris]

Yeah, not a good headline, especially combined with Hillary's new "guns come from Vermont" attack.

It'll probably be even worse if the NRA comes out again and basically says "Bernie's right!" like last time.

Keep in mind that Obama had at least some goodwill with the DNC which Bernie does not have.

Remember: Wisconsin result does NOTHING to change the fact Trump's likely to carry almost all 95 New York delegates on 4/19.

He had a good night, but not good enough.

Going by 538s projections, he needed 12%.

"Kind of" dumb?

excuse me what

it's 16% in Wisconsin now

Nate Cohn, Dave and Wang are the only one worth listening to. They spout numbers and objective opinions without punditry. Nate Silver on the other hand needs to go back to numbers and data. Stay away from the punditry.

 

[And_Gignac]

"Kind of" dumb?

Ok. Really, really dumb then. Specially because of how close the race is.

Thank you.

Yep. Silver is a hack compared to Wang, Wass, and Cohn or the Notorious WCW.

TYT is just comedy gold. Think I'm going to have to resubscribe.

 

[noshten]

So what happens if he gets to 16%?
