This table is worthless

Well yeah… Him winning and then getting out of there would be ideal. Sadly, he is very unlikely to win at this point.
Gonna need that debate to be at 2pm… 9pm was way past Joey’s bedtime.
The Dems could still push Biden to drop out and replace him with someone who might actually have a chance
“One weak point” as in progressive’s only weak argument, or as in the only thing Biden is weak on that they want?
Because there are quite a few other things Biden is weak on that progressives want.
They show up more than millennials, x, or boomers did at that age
Both are very true… I wish the DNC was willing to do whatever it takes to defeat him, even if that means going with a progressive candidate
The DNC needs to accept that this is the group they need to go after… And accept it for what it is, not think they’re magically going to change… Convince Biden to drop out and nominate a progressive if they want to win.
They forgot to give him his stims last night /s
According to this recent study, young people who want a more progressive option
"A majority (60%) think the U.S. should increase spending on social programs and increase taxes on businesses and wealthy Americans.
This survey finds no evidence that a rightward ideological shift would solve Biden’s problems with swing voters. Swing voters broadly think Biden needs to take more action to solve our country’s problems and broadly lean left on economic and social issues. Only 16% say that Biden being “too liberal” is a reason they might not vote for him.
The top two issues swing voters select as actions that would make them definitely vote for Biden are raising taxes on the wealthy (23%) and raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour (18%)."
Ineligible? Bernie could be on his death bed, he’d still be more “eligible” than Trump or Biden. Honestly, at this point, does the US even have eligibility requirements for POTUS?
Oh no, the rich will keep doing what they’ve been doing for 50 years!
Bernie would tax the shit out of the rich and use that to create tons of jobs… Maybe not useless McDonald’s jobs though… more like rebuilding the infrastructure jobs
Unlikely to vote= because there’s no one worth voting for
Undecided= probably mostly non existent
Run a Bernie or AOC and pull far more “unlikely to vote” people off the bench than the handful of fence riders it’ll lose
No one who was going to vote for Joe wouldn’t vote for Bernie… It’s not like anyone is voting FOR Joe, they’re just voting against Trump, and if that means Bernie then so be it
The best we could get from the DNC would be to have Biden resign and Kamala step in… Technically she’d be “the incumbent”… She’d probably still lose though
Fear… At the bottom of it is always fear
Over the next 100 years or so VR and haptic tech make it so people can become fully emersed in virtual reality. So pretty much everyone does. There are arguments on both sides, but eventually most people choose to live in their own world as a “god” with only VR interaction between one another. Everyone in VR stops having real kids, but thanks to AI improvements they can still have “kids”. Technology eventually allows people to plug in permanently while their bodies are maintained by AI and robots systems. Eventually their bodies die, but their consciousness has been captured enough by the system that no one knows or notices when their VR friends bodies die in reality.
In the real world a very small segment of society refuses to join the VR universe and pledge to remain in the real world. Maybe there’s some war in there because of this. Eventually though, the population of earth drops to maybe a few hundred thousand mostly wandering communal groups, while everyone else’s consciousness is in VR systems. This is good for the planet.
After a few thousand years, the people in reality have multiplied and built a better more equitable world, but have completely forgotten about the people in VR, and the automated buildings containing the computers have become buried and lost to time. Until one day someone stumbles across one of these ruins and begins interacting with the VR people again despite a mythical belief system that such technology is all bad.
Some shit happens and there’s a VR vs reality reckoning… Maybe some sort of Romeo and Juliet love story to keep it interesting.
That’s probably why they don’t seem interested in advertising Biden’s “accomplishments”… Instead just beating that Trump bad drum all day everyday
I’d say because Dems have been spending so much time telling everyone how horrible Trump is, that they forgot to mention why anyone might also consider Biden good
I would have loved to see the results if they had included any progressive possibilities in there… especially Bernie.
