Considering the immune system-like response to Bernie on the part of the DNC and media, I'd proffer he's playing affinity. Taking into account the net result of the immune system-like response was a neck-and-neck loss which the DNC and media are pretending is a win for Pete, Necropotence.crimson5pheonix said:
I mean, if you don't want to assume 100% malfeasance on the DNC's part (but all things considered, if you aren't you need to take a good, hard look at what's going on), you could stretch it and say he's playing clockwork.
Bernie Sanders is the guy who wants to play Magic the same way he did in 1996, but all his friends are playing commander, so the only deck he plays is stax because he thinks that if he makes everyone else as miserable as he is they'll give up and play the format he wants.
Is Trump using a Psycatog. He just keeps eating his own cards, even dead ones?crimson5pheonix said:
Edit; No wait. He's playing Illusion of Granduer and doesn't realise the cumlative upkeep is stupidly high
Edit 2: Hillary is Rhystic Study? Does little but gains a lot
I'm having too much fun with this
The DNC as a whole pushes mono-blue control. They don't want other people playing and win or lose, nobody has fun.trunkage said:

Control mill or suicide black, no question.
It would not be that controversial to note homophobia tends to be greater in several non-white demographic groups (usually associated with perceptions of traditional gender roles and religion.)Kwak said:
Although to be honest, I suspect his low rating with them is mostly that he's just got no significant political history to inspire their trust, nor has he made much of a play for their votes. I don't think many voters would outright refuse to support a candidate just because of things like race, gender or sexual orientation.
However, I think voters like to vote for people they perceive are "their sort of person", or feel they trust. Disapproval of an aspect of a candidate makes harder for that candidate to build a rapport with them. Not dissimilar perhaps to women candidates. I think some people really do hold assumptions of leaders being men, even if just a sort of comforting sense of normality, and thus there's always that little bit of credibility deficit floating around their minds which bias them slightly against.
What history he does have is kind of bad [https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pete-buttigieg-faces-pressure-marijuana-arrests-black-people/story?id=68842579].Agema said:
This is never gonna happen cause it'd apply to female students, it might have if it was just the male ones. Still ridiculous though.
Hey, sidenote, since we are talking about cancelling.
Why does the libs get blamed for cancelling when that's how Trump treats his former allies? Eg. Bolton, Manafort, etc. Is this another case of libs not catching on, like Politically Correct, a well worn tool of the Republican party?

Did Trump ban these people from youtube/twitter/patreon or something? Did he cancel their book deals? I thought he just badmouthed them.
Apparently the Iowa results are still riddled with errors:

I'd take that with a grain of salt. Your post inspired me to verify for myself, and contrary to the tweet, not only can you get to the page without signing up for a mailing list, but the context of the whole of the page changes the reading of the quoted section considerably. Bereft of context, the quoted segment reads like it's calling for military service (and indeed, that's exactly what the tweeter claims), but the page actually uses "service" in very general terms. While it doesn't preclude military service, the page's focus is more on community service than anything else.crimson5pheonix said:Yo, hold up.

It further goes on to point out as one of the problems this is trying to address is that there AmeriCorps and the PeaceCorps are forced to take on only a fraction of the qualified volunteers that apply due to funding issues, and suggests the creation of 'service corps' focusing on community health, intergenerational caregiving, and fighting climate disruption.
