Trump is starting to tweet in Farsi, that can't go wrong! :p 

 

 

 

 

not just him. I saw some other guys (even celebrities) there also trying to use Persian on tweeter ! at least I can say he is not using the google translator !!

 

btw the new wave of protests are mostly middle class educated people, I'm sure most of them hate this idiot even more and still remember all he said few days ago.

 

and I have to make something clear, people are very angry here not just because they shoot the plane, but mostly because of the cover up and lying for 3 days. even though looking at the bigger picture, people are just angry and anything can bring them back to the streets.

Sanders is surging big time right now in all the polls. People are saying that he’s won many of Harris’s and Booker’s old followers. He’s now ten points in the lead in California. 
 

There is now a serious chance that the 2020 US Presidential Election will be between the far right and far left. No clue where centrists go, this creates an interesting dilemma for them.

If Sanders won the dem nomination Trump will win the Presidential without any problems. In the US electoral system, probability the wrost in the world, a left-wing candidate have almost no chanches.

Sanders leads Trump by an overwhelming margin in those polls as well. Sanders has the type of hardcore followers that Trump has. If Sanders wins the primaries, Centrists will decide the election. It can’t see a single responsible Centrist voting for Trump.

Are you still seriously considering the California polls? It's all about Iowa and NH right now for pretty much all candidates (if your name isn't Tom Steyer or Michael Bloomberg).

But 10 points? Where are you seeing that? The one I see says 3.

 

Let's see after tonight's debate if it makes any changes. Sanders' numbers are moving up, but a lot of voters are yet to decide.

Not many people that I know watch the debates, so I don’t know what difference that will make. The numbers will be interesting to see. I only consider the California polls because it’s relevant to my vote, and to the Democratic Primary. California’s primary now falls on Super Tuesday. We’re much earlier, and there’s more emphasis on winning votes here now. It also shows how different this state feels about our future compared to the rest of the country.

It was revolutionary for democracy, and that’s mainly why I stays to this day. The issue that: Under a popular vote, only the population centers (cities, states like NY, CA, TX, etc.). Under the electoral college, only smaller/whiter states matter.

And people who'd be more inclined to vote for Trump can't see a single responsible Centrist vote for Sanders. This really means nothing.

So a citizen of a big city is less important than a citizen of a middle/small city?

 

Ah, the American democracy... Thanks God i'm European

Meant to say respectable upon further examine that statement, but yes, your statement is very true. Maybe I should rephrase it as, “I can’t see a respectable Democrat Centrist voting for Trump.”?

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
