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

 

 

 

 

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.”?
