    Wow I didn’t realize the internet could be used to predict the future, that’s amazing!

    Your hostility is unwarranted. Chill.

      How dare you state such controversial opinions as, “calling 90% of your voters idiot racists might be bad for your chances of being elected”

      Predict the future? Bruh.

      You can go watch Graham Platner talk to the “90% white” population of Maine instead of just worthlessly speculating, and especially when your worthless speculation is based in a dead as a doornail approach to electoral politics.

        I could but it would be irrelevant since I never argued he’s not a skilled communicator. And he’s not talking to every Mainer, just a subset.

        That alone does not prove this won’t affect his popularity. I guess you must be some kind of partisan fanatic who can’t see the world clearly if you think the world is so deterministic. Your speculation is far more wild and disconnected than mine.

        Anyway I’m going to leave it there. You seem to have a pattern of reacting to incredibly minor disagreements with aggressive replies so I don’t think this conversation is productive anymore.

          No, you simply offered baseless speculation from a perspective that any one paying attention to politics from 2016-Now should know hasn’t been useful for winning elections. Its like listening to David Brooks’ idle speculation on what the Democrats need to do to win the next election: No one should be listening to it.

          Either take the time to become informed on these candidates or stop parroting an approach to politics which hasn’t been shown to be effective in a decade.
