2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races
- Thread starter mc_brew
- Start date
When asked "which candidate or candidates are you considering voting for in the Democratic Presidential primary," 53 percent of identified liberals said Warren. The poll released Wednesday found 47 percent of liberals are considering voting for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and 45 percent are considering voting for former Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden is still the top choice among total voters polled by YouGov, but with just a slim lead ahead of Warren and Sanders. The poll shows 45 percent of respondents considering Biden, with Warren close behind with 42 percent and Sanders with 41 percent.
Democrats' favorable rating for Biden is 1-point higher than Warren's — but twice as many respondents viewed Biden unfavorably compared with Warren, according to YouGov.
Warren also had the lowest unfavorable rating among leading Democratic contenders, with just 9 percent of respondents viewing Warren unfavorably.

Hilary had 3 million more votes and she lost the presidency. Warren is someone people can get behind. People want a fighter. I think Warren understands who she is fighting.
Pretty much any Democrat can win the popular vote, the more important issue is which one can win the most swing states.
Swing state voters don't care.

i think warren has much better shot in swing states than hillary did. yes people will call her a fraud and pocohontas, but i think ppl still see her liberalism as more genuine. the sexism is a huge hurdle for any female candidate but not insurmountable.

IT'S BERNIE SANDERS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!
Bernie has already answered this question.
I'm sorry, but sexism and her pretending to be Indian will do her in.

hmm...this is a misstep IMO, been feeling this way since her war on Amazon, especially given Bezos owns the post. this is the one thing i don't think she should be going so HAM on. a lot of people at these companies are folks who'd otherwise be in her camp, or a candidate in her spectrum, but to attack the employment of your potential base, doesn't seem like a good look. i get going after banking, a lot of dems in that industry are more centrist, but sometimes you need to hold something back until the general.

I think a lot of people who work at these tech companies would be ok with - even in favor of - breaking up their companies. I work at one and I’m a huge booster of breaking it up.

out here in SV?
and not at all, there are some, but employees at FB, Google, Apple, MSFT, and Amazon are not feeling this. it would directly impact stock value - a big part of their comp, bonuses, work life balance, competitive advantage, and possibly prestige and/or their employment status.

I'm not in SV, but I think there's a difference between the executive class at most companies, especially in tech, and the rest of the workers. The executive class has a larger proportion of their compensation/net worth tied up in stocks, whereas concentration and monopolization deleverages a workers' ability to negotiate their economic freedom. Google and Apple's anti-poaching pact is a prime example. Breaking up these companies wouldn't harm the wellbeing of these workers, it would make them better off.
