      this kind of analysis is pretty useless. four isn't enough of a sample size. you might as well say, "twice dems ran with a candidate with a hard k sound starting their name, and lost."https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1216399399661686785 …

      There have been four American presidential elections since the Iraq War started. Twice the Democrats ran with a nominee who had supported the war (Kerry, Clinton) and lost. Twice they ran with one who opposed the war (Obama) and won.

      Yeah, because the electorate weighs the decision to launch a generation-long war as having the same importance as having having a hard "k" sound in their name.

      polls strongly suggest they don't weigh it that heavily. voters for Trump were mostly motivated by racial animus, not by FP. you know this.

      I like Sanders! I loathe Biden! But there's little evidence that 2020 voters are especially polarized around Iraq war voting, and I don't think it benefits anyone to pretend they are.

      Once bit of evidence is that Biden is now lying about his support for the Iraq war and presenting himself as an opponent of Bush's policy.

          Trump lied about it and won, so not sure what that tells you. There are actual polls though. They all show the electorate doesn't care about FP. that's why most candidates don't talk about it much on the stump.

          it was a bad tweet, Jeet. You don't need to double down on it forever.

          I can’t wait until you help undermine the right wing lunatics by educating Americans about the fact that America issues its own currency. Sanders has youth support because the kids are discovering that our government can always pay for more wars. .....

          2/. Therefore, they surmise, our government can also always decide to pay for healthcare, etc. Instead, you cling to your “government is like a household” analogy. Undermining our political capacity to address rapid ecological collapse.

          The fact that he thinks this is a strategy that maybe might work kind of implies that the electorate doesn't care about it enough to remember it clearly or look anything up.
