This is a big problem for Biden and the Democrats. New CNN poll on battleground states.

Cuomo can definately beat Trump, Biden NEVER.

Also why not bitchute, cause they don't speak the same narrative as you're used to listening to? Who do you listen to?

Why not have an alternative opinion or op-ed, since all MSM swings opinions one way or anther. We need options to regard and disregard.

I was not impressed with bitchute. I watch Sam Seder/Majority Report, Michael Brooks, TYT, Emma Vigeland/Rebel HQ, David Doel/The Rational National, Mike Figueredo/The Humanist Report, and Progressive Voice.

Cuomo can put sentences together, so that helps. I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve been saying all along that Biden is in trouble. But I’ve seen absolutely no news on it Other than biznatch.

You should be applauded for seeking out as many alternative news outlets as possible. This allows one to ponder possibilities and trust me, everything is on the table for me right now.

But yeah, to me Biden is being hidden quieted, hidden and publicly sequestered. No way, he's going to be the ultimate choice for the DNC.

Seder and The Majority Report is great for news and opinion but they also have a “fun half” in their show during which they mock all the idiots. Give it a shot.

Absolutely. I saw that China found 6 more cases in Wuhan and now will test all 11 million people in like 2 weeks.

Their "tests" and "numbers" are as reliable as their testing equipment

And Republican internal polls show that Trump loses to Biden in some swing states. This far out I don’t think that individual polls can tell us much because of different methodologies and samples. We’re still 6 months out from the election and everybody right now is focused on a pandemic, I’m sure a lot will change as we head closer to November.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-presented-with-grim-internal-polling-showing-him-losing-to-biden/2020/04/29/33544208-8a4e-11ea-9759-6d20ba0f2c0e_story.html

The two polls given to Trump — one from the Republican National Committee and another from the Trump campaign — both showed Trump trailing Biden in swing states, officials said. His political team has grown more concerned in recent weeks, as the briefings became more combative while the economy cratered and coronavirus deaths continued to rise.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this makes no sense. The last thing the DNC would want is a contested convention. You really think Bernie who has the second most delegates is just going to let Cuomo be coronated because reasons? That would be a mess of epic proportions right before an election. The voter chose Biden, the only way he isn’t the nominee is if he has serious, life threatening health problems.

Diversify is a critical component of progressivism how fundamentally absurd it is that Biden has imposed a test for his VP choice that hinges on a person's reproductive organs?

And if you're the first woman VP, wouldn't you want to be picked because you were the most qualified person, rather than because you have the correct genitalia?

Wait so literally hundreds of years of only white men(with one notable exception) being President and Vice President and suddenly it’s the woman that’s not qualified? Americans failed spectacularly by not picking the most qualified person in 2016 because she’s a woman. Women make up more than half the country and a larger proportion of the Democratic Party. They should have representation.

No body knows the answer to that because there hasn't been one.

Most "qualified" can span a range of considerations, not just the level of elected office held. Life experience, political inclinations, temperamental style, policy expertise, etc.

Any number of the female Senators, Governors, House members, etc. under consideration were the most qualified people irrespective of their status as women, but Biden decided to cheapen the process by imposing an arbitrary gender test.

Bernie should spike the ball and identify as a woman.

Representation matters and showing a gender that’s a majority of the population and Democratic Party that their issues matter at the highest level doesn’t cheapen the process. If Bernie had done the exact same thing, you’d be lauding him as some Progressive icon. Don’t be mad a Biden because he’s demonstrated that he’s more politically adept than Bernie.

Vice President is usually a ceremonial role that doesn’t have a lot of power. No need to disparage the number of women who are qualified to be President, never mind Vice President by saying they’re only picked because of their genitalia.

Speaking of VP, did y'all see this? It sucks to be unexpectedly told that you didn't win on national TV. I wonder how this is going to play out? Biden should've never played identity politics with the VP pick but it was probably the quid pro quo for James Cleyburn's endorsement. Anyhow, this is what happens to Stacy when you sell your soul rather than just be you. Abrams isn't ready to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency anyhow.
