Let's try an ice cream analogy, shall we? [View all] DanTex Feb 2020 OP

Bernie needs voters of color in SC so arguing the case for vanilla may not be best strategy here. TeamPooka Feb 2020 #1

no comment on the analogy.... quickesst Feb 2020 #20

:) TeamPooka Feb 2020 #47

Except in the end relayerbob Feb 2020 #2

Which is why we should pick the flavor that the most people would be happy with. DanTex Feb 2020 #4

No, most people are NOT in favor of it relayerbob Feb 2020 #18

Vanilla. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #28

Hence my choice of Warren relayerbob Feb 2020 #31

re: "Your assumption is that Sanders is that many's second choice." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #38

Actually relayerbob Feb 2020 #39

Except the election will only allow you to vote for one flavor. No combis. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #40

Actually, that's exactly how the brokered/contested convention works relayerbob Feb 2020 #41

The problem is we've already determined that none of our flavors are acceptable to more people... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #42

Actaully, with only about 5% of the votes counted relayerbob Feb 2020 #43

I meant we had determined it based on this: thesquanderer Feb 2020 #44

Understood relayerbob Feb 2020 #46

Let's try a different analogy... brooklynite Feb 2020 #3

Nope. Act_of_Reparation Feb 2020 #6

You're ignoring all the polling data. All of it. I wonder why? DanTex Feb 2020 #7

re: "Does that mean that 70% of the people don't like Sanders or think he won't win? Yes." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #17

Google Translator couldn't make sense of this one. TheCowsCameHome Feb 2020 #5

Haaaaaa! NurseJackie Feb 2020 #24

Lol sheshe2 Feb 2020 #29

The proper analogy is squirecam Feb 2020 #8

The polling data points to the exact opposite of that. DanTex Feb 2020 #9

I don't know why you squirecam Feb 2020 #10

Please, enlighten me! I posted links to polls, you haven't. DanTex Feb 2020 #13

You keep posting on that one old survey. squirecam Feb 2020 #16

I've posted multiple links to multiple surveys. And other polls come out the same way, google it. DanTex Feb 2020 #26

Except when various "chocolate variants" became unviable in the first round in Nevada, thesquanderer Feb 2020 #32

Ha! Here's my version of the "Ice Cream analogy" from two weeks ago Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #11

LOL. Excellent. Sorry for the accidental plagiarism! DanTex Feb 2020 #14

No problem, I plagiarize talking points from you all the time! It's in the ether Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #19

But isn't that what people fear about "socialism," restricted choices of ice cream? Hoyt Feb 2020 #12

Wait a second C_U_L8R Feb 2020 #15

What if all of the people at the party were going to order ice cream... SidDithers Feb 2020 #21

Good question. Here's the answer. DanTex Feb 2020 #25

And yet vanilla still doesn't have 50% of the delegates... SidDithers Feb 2020 #27

Well, now you're talking about what the ice cream industry wants, not the people. DanTex Feb 2020 #30

I've got a hunch that some of those who wanted vanilla will decide they won't want any at all Rorey Feb 2020 #36

Will you flip your script if, after SC, Biden is tied or ahead of Bernie in delegates? AGeddy Feb 2020 #22

I would maybe serve neopolitan at the next party. Kota Feb 2020 #34

The thing that most confuses people in online forums is math. Coming in second? Analogies. n/t thesquanderer Feb 2020 #35

Bernie, and his merrimakers... bobGandolf Feb 2020 #37

I will eat any ice cream sarisataka Feb 2020 #45

Kick... SidDithers Mar 2020 #48
