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.”?

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.
