The polls are good for illustrating general trends like Bernie tanking and Warren rising but not for predicting a winner
Julian for ….the pets
calls for ending the practice of euthanizing dogs and cats in shelters and other animal welfareish things
I'm actually totally for this…but don't think this is something that is going to get a single vote in a Presidential election
but I guess we're talking about Julian now, so guess it was somewhat effective

If pets are ever given citizenship, this longplay is going to look so good. #FORTHEFUTURE

as well as O’Rourke
had this poll been taken a few months ago, he would have probably been in the 4 to 6 rank
Warren has been having a VERY good summer as well as Buttigieg
would have thought Klobuchar would have done better in iowa too

I've always thought Drew Carey was bullied into the "Have your pets spayed or neutered" line after he took over for Bob Barker. He just doesn't deliver the line with the same enthusiasm.
What a shame, what a shame.
What a shame, what a shame.
in chicago, the dead vote all the time.

Can we get a little explanation of what the difference is in these two images?
other than the first one has Sanders crushing the US and the second doesn't have sanders
First map is how much I love Bernie. Second is how much I'd like Warren if there was no Bernie.
Might be behind a paywall (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/02/us/politics/2020-democratic-fundraising.html), but essentially map 1 is a heat map of where the bulk of each candidates donor base comes from. Map 2 is the Times having to remove Bernie's base entirely to see practically anyone else outside of a few folks' homebase.
It's a pretty interesting set of maps, especially when you see who's running strong in areas with wealth concentration.

looks like trump is going to cut our payroll taxes…as if the deficit wasn't high enough let lower incoming revenue even more!

Don't think it's going to stop this recession

More like: Trump is going to ask Congress to cut the payroll tax. Puts Dems in a hard spot, because its a regressive tax that absolutely kills the accounting for Social Security. But if they don't go along, Trump can try to peg the recession on them.

God they need help with spin…dems just suck at messaging
team trump needs a bumper sticker (or a tweet) the dems have to put out a 64 page report that no one will read
Cutting the FICA tax can only work if the salary cap is removed, or at least raised significantly.

I agree, but there is no way that the cap is raised or removed. Especially since Obama actually had a FICA holiday on his watch. This is going to be an absolute mess for the Dems.
I don't have time for this.
