It’s Super Tuesday. The Democratic establishment is coalescing around Joe Biden. I’m still thinking about this PRRI study on Trump’s favorability.
From the same study, here’s a brief synopsis of Trump’s opposition:
“While Republicans are mostly united behind Trump, Democrats are even more united against him. More than eight in ten (83%) Democrats say they hold an unfavorable view of Trump, including a 61% majority who say they have a very unfavorable view. Americans who identify as Democrats hold unfavorable views of Trump, even within groups who are more likely to view Trump favorably overall. Majorities of Democratic seniors age 65 and older (85%), white Democratic men (78%), and white Democrats without a college degree (72%) all hold solidly unfavorable views of Trump.
Besides Democrats, a few key constituencies stand out in their opposition to Trump: black Americans, Hispanic Americans, religiously unaffiliated Americans, non-Christian religious Americans, and multiracial Americans. Regardless of most other demographic factors, these groups are overwhelmingly opposed to Trump across nearly every metric.”
How are you feeling about the 2020 race going into Super Tuesday? Which remaining candidate do you believe can build a coalition to respond to Trump? Sound off in the comments.
Very disheartening to see a rallying towards Biden...
It feels like a desperate clinging to traditional white patriarchy when I thought we were moving past that with more progressive humanitarian candidates like Warren and Sanders 😞
I've found this entire election cycle to be so frustrating. I wish the DNC would institute a single-day primary election day with Ranked Choice Voting. It would help us not have to freak out so much about how to play the "electibility" game. I've also found their debates to be horrible and near useless. AOC recommended in a tweet that they have topic-based debates hosted by experts on the topics--one for immigration, one for climate change, one for education, etc. That would be so much more informative and dig into policies better than whatever the media circus that it is now.
But to your question -- I absolutely adore Warren. She's an incredible person, always fighting and winning for the little guy. She has such a great grasp on the deeper issues that need to be fixed to get the country back to working for everyone. Every time I listen to her speak, I'm inspired and encouraged to get back in there and that change is possible. I'm infuriated that the DNC and media continually count her out. Regardless, I have been wanting to vote for her for President since 2016 and I'm proud that I did that today in the Colorado primary. We'll see what happens next, eh?

So incredibly frustrated with the lack of pragmatism among progressives throughout the primary season. Ineffectual.

I also support Warren. The last few days have been taxing to follow. We'll see what comes of it all.
