Joe Biden has an outstanding lead.
Can he keep it?

THE SHIRELLES

1. You really want to play this kind of game? Do you think this adds to your favorite's credibility?

[crazytown]

7. Lighten up

This is really only a bit of fun.

I’n not a wrecker. I have posted one thing genuinely critical of Biden about the Bankruptcy Act, withdrawn another after criticism by DU’ers I respect. I was the first to post the America: Anything is possible ad, and have defended Joe on Marijuana and his role as Chairman on the Anita Hill hearings. Mt response to the Hunter Biden post was ‘thoughts and prayers’.

What I am critical of is the triumphalism of some supporters on the basis of a polls following the Announcement. The honeymoon may extend into an unassailable lead, but it’s too early to crow ‘Signed sealed and delivered.

Will Biden maintain his lead? Will you still love me tomorrow?

[highplainsdem]

10. I wouldn't call it triumphalism, and I haven't seen anyone suggest his lead is unassailable. Sure,

Biden supporters are happy about the polls.

Please tell me which candidates' supporters WOULDN'T be happy if their candidate were the frontrunner in multiple polls.

11. Sanders Gabbard, Gillibrand, (Inslee/Klobuchar), Yang, Hickenlooper.

Inslee/Klobuchar because that have no charisma.
Yang - because his Democracy dollars are off the wall.
Hickenlooper because ‘Fracking is good for the environment’
Gillibrand - Al Franken
Gabbard - Dingbat
Sanders - unelectable, leader of an alien insurgency that only cares about raw power.

12. ???? I'm not sure what you're saying here, unless this is your list of who can't win

the nomination and/or the GE.

My question was which candidates' supporters wouldn't be happy if their candidate led in multiple polls. And I was asking that in response to your suggesting that Biden supporters posting about polls is "triumphalism." I wouldn't expect ANY candidate's supporters NOT to celebrate good poll results, but that does not equate with "triumphalism."

Do you think Warren supporters WON'T post any polls showing her surging or leading?

[crazytown]

16. I gave you the list of Candidates I wouldn't vote for in the primaries

There are none I wouldn’t support against Trump, if that’s what you’re asking.

My personal preference moves around Buttigieg, Harris and Warren. At the moment it’s Warren by virtue of her ongoing policy proposals.

I’d like to hear more from Cory Booker. I like Beto
I post articles here about the candidates who are not getting the attention they deserve. Biden’s campaign doesn’t need any help there.

15. Whenever someone posts "Lighten up," it usually means

that the poster has made a mistake, was called on it, and is unwilling to admit that mistake. Oh, well...

[crazytown]

17. Loosen up?

The OP was, as stated. ‘A bit of fun’

[BeckyDem]

2. lol +1

Obviously some won't like it, but it is harmless imo.

4. Seems like a different kind of shot than the op is thinking.

More like it’s directed at Stein supporters and the HA Goodman crowd. The lead singer is still out singing “will you still love me tomorrow.”

Fifty plus years later and still doing shows. That’s awesome. As beautiful as ever.

[BeckyDem]

5. I am not following.

I agree about the singer, I love that song, I remember it when I was a kid. That is great she is still out there singing.

I could be wrong but I don't think Stein supporters are the target audience.

[WeekiWater]

6. Fifty years from now the Stein and HA Goodman crowd...

Will still be questioning if they will be loved tomorrow. I think it’s funny as could be.

[WeekiWater]

3. Fifty years later and the lead singer is still at it!

9. Shirley Owens is such a beautiful woman

Then and now

8. This sort of thing is just not helping your candidate,

[MineralMan]

13. Weak sauce.

Why not take a positive, issues-driven approach to support the candidate you prefer. This kind of nonsense is not going to help her at all, and it makes you look desperate.

[crazytown]

18. For heaven sake

It’s not going to hurt Biden. I get it that some don’t find it funny.

Biden has a commanding lead. You should be happy, not touchy.

[MineralMan]

19. I'm not the only one telling you these things.

Think about what people are saying about your approach. Really...if you want to be taken seriously, be serious.

[crazytown]

20. I'll be judged on the totality of my posts

To judged as hyper partisan on the basis of one goofy post, is plain wrong

21. You'd think so, wouldn't you? But that's not actually true.

You remember your posts, but most of us don't keep past posts in our memories. I have made considerably more than 100,000 posts on DU. But, each one stands on its own merit or lack of merit. Expecting others to remember what I have written in the past is expecting too much. So, I don't.

I could click the four links in your post, but won't. I'm just not interested enough to do so. It is the most recent post that is at the top of people's minds, not something you wrote at another time.

You will do as you please, of course, as will we all.

22. Hell yes!

23. Shirley Owens looks like an African princess

In the video



She is a beautiful woman to this day.

24. Yes, and then back to my 'olden days!'
