Scott Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Bloomberg is totally out of touch, and doesn’t have an ounce of charisma. I suspect anyone he targets with his cringe will end up actually benefitting. He’ll target socialism, and say some ra ra capitalism shit, but any traction that message gets will be in spite of Bloomberg, not because of him.

He needed to allow one of the centrist candidates already there try to carry the ball. The guy is an embarrassment and is causing the vote to get split even more. Regardless, Sanders is picking up a lot of votes as centrists fall, so he is pretty much the nominee. Biden has a shot to come back if he gets a win in South Carolina, but it is extremely small.

TwinIon Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I do wonder who else will push harder against Sanders as he furthers his lead, not that I'm convinced it will matter. I think Bernie would have to self destruct in order for this debate to affect his status as the front runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 A reasonably competent and/or intelligent moderator and/or candidate would ask Sanders to explain what he views as the differences between "social democracy" and "democratic socialism" and what he views as the inherently superior attributes of one over the other. But I doubt that any of the candidates with the possible exception of the Mayoist and certainly no moderator could even conceive of such a question.

I would love to hear him answer that without resorting to talking about how we are already a socialist country for the rich. I want to hear why he uses the term and how it differs from social democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
