Link | 2,714 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 https://www.wired.com/story/us-feds-battle-against-huawei/ “The stakes are enormous. Huawei itself is a huge player in the global telecommunications industry—so large that as Huawei goes, so goes the interconnected world. A full US ban on Huawei products could mark the beginning of the end of a one-world internet. It could calve [did they mean cleave?] the world into two separate tech ecosystems, one in North America and parts of Europe and the other across Asia and the Southern Hemisphere. The former would be dominated by Nokia, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple, and the latter by Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu. “The Trump administration’s escalating fight has left US companies that supply Huawei reeling and left Huawei wondering if it can ever count on access to US supply chains again.” @fcgamer any thoughts?

It was a culmination of the civil rights movement for many people showing that blacks could make it to the highest office. The problem was Obama did mostly dick for the black community. The blacks that realize how little obama did for them are less likely to turn out for biden than the black who don't notice. And the problem is Obama is so popular, a candidate, like sanders cannot talk about all the ways obama fucked up because people won't listen. They will just get angry at the messenger. Biden has done worse then dick for the black community. He has f'!!#÷ them over several times. Doesn't matter how you feel about Biden or Sanders as candidates. Sanders is running a terrible campaign if he has any interest in winning the general election. His grassroots campaign stops at the Hood. He should be down there sending out all the mailers and images of himself marching with MLK, and the clip of himself saying "Black Lives Matter" at the first debate in 2016. Election won. But he isn't doing that. He's pulling a Hillary this time around snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Just like Hillary never visited the rust belt, Sanders isn't visiting the hood. He needs to get out of suburban white America. He already won there. At this rate he'll be lucky to survive the convention. It's like he wants to lose so his campaign can continue to complain about the "rigged system". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won the first four states and was in first place until yesterday. Almost every other candidate coalesced this week and told their supporters to vote for Biden. If Sanders has done anything wrong it is not explain to voters the terrible policies Joe Biden has been apart of that have hurt them in the past. The democratic party is pulling a Hillary Clinton by forcing a moderate candidate that can't win on the Democratic party. What do you mean Sanders needs to visit the hood? Also, I am pretty sure I heard the exit polls showed the suburbs came out against Sanders and that is part of the reason he lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what the hood is. Ill give you that he lost in suburban America. Biden moonwalked past him by such large margins. He lost everywhere. He cant win the black vote when on paper he should clean it up. And he is losing it on his own doing making the historically most marginalized population in the country continue to feel marginalized by not pushing after them. And lets not forget that this group of people historically vote as a bloc and make up 24 percent of the democratic electorate. Why would the democratic establishment support Bernie? His ideals are way off base with what they want to do as a country. Of course everyone got behind Biden. The purpose of the DNC is to win elections. And Bernie can't do that. He is one of the most overrated democrats of all time. Maybe the DNC would support him if black people could get behind him, but they aren't, because he's not even trying to get their support. He's weak. And even in the pipe dream where Bernie gets elected, McConnell would swallow up any bit of legislation he would try to force through. His best case scenario is a one term lame duck president that won on the back of Trump's unpopularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't understand if you are saying all black people live in ghettos and Sanders needs to go to the ghetto to get black voters. Or if you are saying that a subset pf the black populations lives in the ghetto and those are the easiest supporters for Sanders to attract so he should go after them. The first option is kind of racist and the second one doesn't make sense. It is so weird for me that Republicans keep telling democrats who should who to vote for. You have a republican president and nominee. Your policies result in Donald Trump and George W. Bush. You people created Donald Trump.

Biden just keeps saying “My Buddy Barack” and he doesn’t have a counter for that. He does have support from some fairly prominent black people. He’s got endorsements from Cornel West, BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors and some others from that movement, Shaun King, Cardi B, and Killer Mike. Among others. But yeah he could be doing more to promote his civil rights history. Maybe also say how his policies would help this or that demographic to the relevant audience at his rallies.

I would hope it is easy to infer i meant the second option. Obviously not all black people live in the hood. I dont understand how it doesn't make sense. The volumous pockets of black America living in the hood continue to be marginalized by politicians that feel that they aren't worth the effort. If Bernie got in there to say I haven't forgotten about you, we would be looking at much different results this Tuesday. But he didn't. So they went with the candidate they felt most comfortable with. And it should have been Bernie, but it wasn't. And it's his own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie went on black programs like the Breakfast Club, etc. to try and get out his message, he has minoritites all through his campaign to assist in messaging to the black community, and he has surrogates like Killer Mike and Nina Turner that have rallies speaking directly to the black community. Idk how to get people to listen, but as far as I can tell, they tried to reach the black community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster | 124 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm surprised nobody is talking about Bloomberg's silent departure. He spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a campaign, skipped 4 states, then immediately drops out and endorses Biden after a poor performance on Tuesday.

Not a whole lot to talk about with Bloomberg. Never mind the stop and frisk, he outlawed the big gulp in NYC, diddnt he? Something like outlawing soft drinks above 16 ounces?

That more than anything else cost Hilary what by all accounts should've been an easy win (or at least would've been had it not been for those emails...). Bill begged and pleaded with her not to blow off these guys, knowing full well that getting the rural/blue collar folks (the Reagan Democrats) back into the fold was absolutely essential to his 1992 win. So as it stands now it's down to two contenders, Biden who thought FDR got on TV in 1929 to help us out of the Depression and apparently can't seem to keep his hands to himself (like Bill but in a much more open and not-so-discreet way) or Sanders who is allegedly running for the D's nomination but has made clear being a liberal Democrat is not liberal/far left enough and is a card carrying member of the Socialist party. As long as Trump continues to keep his supporters hungry, he'll get about tree fiddy in the Electoral College.
