I don't understand how someone really believes this.   It can be hard enough for someone with an MD to learn to code, why would it be easy for a manual laborer?  Of course some will have this latent skill but you can't count on it.

This is going to drive people to the polls for Biden in the primary whether folks want to believe it or not.

The message is "Anyone but Trump," I don't see how it makes Biden stand out.

Is this a thing Biden actually believes, that transgender equality, whatever that means, should be pushed with the same urgency as civil rights for blacks in the 60s (even though that actually involved a lot of compromise)?  Or is it just some a social media person trying to knock Bernie for the Rogan endorsement?

Where did he say that in the tweet? He's clearly just saying that it is the current group of people who are under attack by our govt. Considering they were just banned from serving in the military and Trump has proposed policies which could prevent them from getting emergency medical treatment under the guise of "religious freedom". The suicide/murder rates of trans people are also much higher than the average.

People have variously claimed "the civil rights issue of our time" about immigrants or educational disparities or the criminal justice system, to draw attention to the need for action. If you make that claim, it a signal you intend to make it a political priority - unless it's just a rhetorical attempt to out-woke Sanders.

Issues regarding state/national polls have already been addressed, but: I wonder if by the same metric, Donald Trump was perceived as more "ideologically extreme" than Hillary Clinton in 2016?

If not, then we know that the campaign can shift this narrative any which way.

If so, then it obviously doesn't matter.

Not exactly the same, but Clinton was viewed as more consistently liberal than Trump was conservative.

great response from Biden.  he reminds me of my dad sometimes.

I saw Joe's new ad on twitter, pointing out Mike's hypocrisy.  Damn! Biden still has some bite left! Very good ad.

Doesn't seem smart to me.  If you are running as the heir to Obama's legacy, giving airtime to an opponent's past criticism of the Obama administration could backfire.  People might believe what they are hearing (that Obama failed), benefiting the message of someone like Bernie.

Obama demands South Carolina TV stations pull misleading ad attacking Biden

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elections-2020/obama-demands-south-carolina-tv-stations-pull-misleading-ad-attacking-biden/ar-BB10rfxh?ocid=spartandhp

(It is a WP article, but it is through MSN, so it should work even if you aren't subscirbed to the WP)

It's such a weird ad.  The implied connection between the Obama audio excerpt and the words on the screen is hard to make out. The idea seems to be that Biden is an example of Democratic "plantation politics" - but are they expecting blacks to buy that Obama would consider this to be true of the party he led and the Vice President he picked?

That Obama voice sounds like a bad imitation

I think they sped it up to fit in a 30 second ad.
