Cruel Summer Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Disappointed but not surprised. Stomping on leftists in the name of… of what, really, at this point? Like what exactly do Joe Biden and his administration stand for in relation to candidates like Marianne? Being both cause and a chronic symptom of America’s broken politics?

JC. Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It’s not that serious. Shes polling at 10% (had to look it up), I don’t think most media outlets take her seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClashAndBurn Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The thing is, they don’t even have to invisiblize her. She has no real presence or support, and voting for her would be no different than voting for Vermin Supreme, truth be told. It’s just kind of baffling why they’d even bother.

Also, she's a MUCH better candidate than Joe. #Marianne2024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes polling at 10% (had to look it up), I don’t think most media outlets take her seriously. FiveThirtyEight polling averages of some of the candidates in the screenshot Williamson posted: Ramaswamy 6.3% Haley 5.4% Pence 4.6% Christie 2.8% Scott 2.6% Burgum 0.9% () The hypocrisy is the bigger issue, not the sole fact that Williamson was excluded. It's laughable to include someone who's not even polling at 1% on the Republican side, but then exclude someone polling at around 10% on the Democratic side. And I know the usual response to that will be "well the Democrats aren't having a competitive primary whereas the Republicans are", but Biden and Trump have very similar polling averages in their respective primaries (Biden's at 63% and Trump's at 55%) Although personally I think the root of the hypocrisy isn't that the media has wrongly treated the Dem primary as non-competitive, but that they're wrongly treating the GOP primary as competitive, likely because they don't want to believe Trump will actually be the nominee. But at this point the only way Trump doesn't become the nominee is if he dies or drops out (which are the same scenarios as the ones where Biden doesn't become the Dem nominee). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 She always makes great points, at least in the few videos I’ve seen of her Sadly no one seems to take her seriously, so yeah I don’t think they’ll even bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHoran Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It's crazy that anyone thinks this woman even has a shot so it really doesn't matter. 10% is nothing and all she is going to do is split votes that take away from Biden so a Republican can win yet again. This happened in 2016. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellem Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 There’s just more interest in tracking the Republican candidates. Being the third place candidate in the incumbent’s party means absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodflowers. Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 They don't want to show a candidate that supports taxing rich (which is what higher up at Apple are) and supports universal healthcare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened in 2016. She's running in the primary only and when she loses, she's just going to shepherd all of her voters towards voting for Biden just like Bernie did. Twice. The only one running a spoiler campaign that you should be fretting over is Cornel West, and even then, maybe Biden should be questioning what he should be doing to win over voters instead of pointing fingers and shaming any black person who dares not vote for him as "they ain't black."

DAP Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Well it doesn’t matter if she’s not a ‘viable’ candidate or whatever because that’s not the problem. The complaint is that there’s no democratic accountability to the masses. Can’t claim to be a democracy when you’re restricting peoples’ input/voting choices.

If U Seek Amy Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I was going to say who cares she is not going to have any realistic chance. But they included the Republicans without any real chance and not just the main players so they should be including her honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien M Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Marianne is actually a GREAT candidate. Also to be polling at 10% while being ignored by the MSM is pretty impressive actually.
