Hm, you said "anyone making it [antisemitism] purely about Jewish is probably mentally limited", because "semites aren't even limited to Jewish people". Which sounds like a whole different point to me, as "anyone" practically means everyone today, not just Nazis (who mostly aren't using the term in its old meaning anymore since the exposure of the Holocaust).
What I meant is that it's an inaccurately coined term by a mentally limited Nazi. It was inaccurate to begin with. It's inaccurate today. Not that complicated man.

I'm rather sure it is more complicated, but it's also obvious we should leave this alone.

Absolutely disastrous result for Sanders. A lot of talk on Twitter suggesting this is indicative of how America would react to him at the polls :(

Biden offers nothing.
Hating Trump wont be enough.

Yes. Biden can sweep the Southern States in the primary.
Wont help him in the GE.

He has to carry the Mid-West.
It may happen. But it would be a gamble.
He will carry Pennsylvania in the GE easily, which is half the battle.

Not sure about Wisconsin, but it will probably be the problem child for every candidate.

Biden seems fairly popular in the midwest though. Him and Bernie I believe are the two popular candidates in that region.

...except Bernie offers actual policies that help people.
Once you listen to both men, the differences stand out.
I’m just pointing out who states are trending towards. You don’t have to sell me or any of us on Bernie every time some observation of another candidate is made.

but the problem is the majority of voters don't and most probably won't by the time they vote. I have absolutely no faith in the voting population either in the primaries or the general election.

I do think the British election result will foreshadow the US election in a big way sadly. There's been a big shift in the social media age. Those on the right have figured out, to an absolute science, how to convince many people to vote against their own economic interests. The left currently has no way to fight back.

2018 has shown a surge towards Democrats so it’s not necessarily an accurate forecast. A lot will depend on who the nominee would be too.

Oh my god, after spending ages in the British election threads about how policies win elections and your previous stance about how voters are never wrong, just give the feck up RD you mad man

Socialism is even more of a sacrilege in America than it is here. Warren/Sanders don't have a prayer. They will be overwhelmed with negative messaging. I might not be thinking straight cause I am gutted but I can't see it.
I also think a lot of Dems who might have been swayed, seeing what has happened here...won't take the risk.
