2020 Democratic presidential primary

c'mon feel the ericmentum #swallwelling in your heart

oh man I had no idea #swalwelling was a thing

it sounds like a medical condition

SWAWELLED
BORREWELLED

if your #swallwelling continues for more than four hours, seek immediate advice from a physician

so Swalwell began a meme by posting pictures of his own feet
sounds like a qualification

Swallwell addressing the fervid foot fetish contingent of the Dem primary base iirc

what does weaponizing pedantry mean

i've had irritations with politifact over how they've stated the "fact" under interrogation, creating an easy set-up to address it in a way that's contrary to the common understanding. some things that they present for evaluation make no sense without the particular context of the original quote, so through omission you gain the ability to create context

I can't keep track of who works for whom anymore, and why it matters.

for me, it's realizing that my friends who attended/organized backyard gatherings for Clinton in 2015 are being contacted by the same people to arrange events for Harris, now

I think I'm completely done thinking about this shit for a couple weeks, or at least until I'm trying to drive home from work and there's one of these candidates blocking the street again

more likely to retake the White House than to win back the Senate, a prospect which should terrify Democrats, and if the DNC had any strategy

i honestly believe that nothing terrifies the current leaders of the democratic party more than being in charge of both chambers & the WH and *actually* having to govern. things are so much better when gee whiz your hands are just tied but hey there's a villain to fundraise off of

also animates the GOP tbh

I was gonna say, there's an axis where "Democrats and Republicans are the same" pans out

imagine a world with leaders who want to govern

(hashtag elizabeth warren)

Bill dB. tied with Wayne Messam

Yang wins

Not if Sanders used the Public Enemy track.

unsure if Gravel can still walk but based on his advisors I can only assume his tune would be "Goop on ya Grinch"

xposts -- eh i'd say the GOP is more than happy to exercise their power when they have it, polls/ pop opinion of their objectives be damned.

that's just too many fuckin candidates

Who says they're fuckin

First debate question: raise your hand if you’re still fucking

*Mayor Pete triumphantly raises his hand*

plz don't feed the Biden

Can we talk for a minute how Yang walked out to a song that everyone remembers mainly for the lyric "YOU LIIIIIIIED TO ME"

did di blasio really do "rudy can't fail"?

that feels like a joke

much like etc etc

at this point I'm just here to make easy jokes

(note: when the primary season turns serious, I will also be here for easy jokes only interspersed with intermittent anguished "YOUR POLITICAL ENNUI WILL MURDER MY CHILDREN" rants)

i sat one table from de Blasio at a szechuan restaurant before he was mayor and he talked about how Giuliani snubbed him at Yankee Stadium.

if he used tosh's 'legalize it,' maybe he would've gotten at least 1 vote

did di blasio really do "rudy can't fail"?

I approve of Warren using "9 to 5"

Not too fond of the song, due to overexposure as a 9 yr old. What would be a Millennial and broadcast friendly update?

its still 9 to 5, the youths stan dolly

And she should let the beat pound for about fifteen minutes before she takes the stage, like Laibach did when I saw them.

"OPEN YOUR MOUTH. HERE'S YOUR MONEY."

the real question is, what song could a candidate pick that would be maximally impressive to ilxors?

9 to 5 is honestly close

'work that' is also one i approve of but i don't speak for the true critics of the board

Vamos Compañeros
Who Makes the Nazis
Tighten Up

if biden came out to this though maybe people would rethink him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HAEqvP_Cgw

lmao

i am forever awaiting the candidate who will finally bring in the katz

^^^

(but the real answer is 1 thing)

if biden walks out to that, all of it, i will vote for him

when i had twitter in 2012 i tweeted at some seapunk artist and asked if they would vote for romney if he dyed his hair aquamarine and declared himself part of the subculture. they just said no.

America: “Andrew Yang, stop lying about your big break... for God’s sake, I need a real man”
Yang: “The return of the Mack”

I’ll vote for the first candidate to play Joe Smooth’s “Promised Land”
