2020 Democratic presidential primary

i didn't think that was even possible!

I don't think technological proposals to solve this problem are stupid at all. GND yes, but you have to look into other things too, it's irresponsible not to.

iceberg things looks very minecrafty

it's just the sim quality starts to flag near the end

Wow! For real? I’ll believe it when it’s reflected in other polls..

yeah it's a single poll and it's a national poll (there is no national primary), and biden keeps messing up, but not "lose half your supporters mess up" recently afaict, so it's very suspect. but i'm into it.

More info and data here

https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_US_082619/

prob the first polling where I can visualize and have a somewhat informed opinion of everyone on the list. progress!

for real tho, this should be a national discussion of warren vs sanders not biden vs ?

Has to be frustrating for Castro to poll at Marianne Williamson levels

Three Texans at the bottom there.

Top two should just draw straws to figure out who drops out of the race and becomes the other's veep, imo.

one more caveat about this single national poll is that it is small (6 point margin of error).

there are good polls, there are bad polls

Imagine being so certain that @DavidAxelrod would lie about you on @CNN that you bring the exact receipts to an interview. #Bernie2020 https://t.co/nAFiheMUwi

Nobody's fucking voted

Whoa, really?

you and a few thousand other dingalings are calling on candidates w/ sbout 20% to drop out, aintcha? lunacy

I'd say the putative top two joining forces might just seal the deal in our favor. And FTR, I wasn't saying they should do it literally this moment.

(My real preference is to just let the Chicago machine pick Humphrey Mk II and put this whole thing to rest. Clooney, come on down!)

I guess I understand this fanatasy but these aren't backbenchers, they are two serious legislators, and neither of them are going to run for veep

Anyway the party isn't going to go into this w a ticket comprised of TWO lefty New England senators. If Warren gets the nom it will probably be a younger man, if Bernie then a woman or POC—in either case somebody w/ positions slightly more palatable to moderates.

Warren/Castro, Sanders/Stacy Abrams

Can't see Harris wanting the VP job when she could be AG and have something to actually do tbh

xp (...more palatable to moderates and probably somebody w/ executive experience—governor, mayor, whatever)

silby yeah like that

xxxpost Oh, I know that's what's GOING to happen. I'm just proposing creative alternatives to Vice Presidential candidate Jeff Whosthat or Betty Idontevenknow.

"Lesbian political activists are divided", or so I hear. Other lesbians? I guess we'll have to wait and see, when Politico gets around to asking them.

I don't want Pete Buttigieg to be president

I am suggesting Old Joe is flaming out, sic

Why not? He flamed out every other time he ran for president.

u dingaling

gillibrand out

Why some lesbians don’t want Pete Buttigieg to be president because he interestng

a nation mourns xp

Gillibrand's fine in the Senate. I can see why she wanted this but she just doesn't have a marketable angle or base of support.

I sealed her fate when I forgot to put her in the poll options

xp. So much for the Hillary (NY, gender-focused, centrist) contingent. Buttigieg and Harris tied up the corporate donors, so there wasn't much political real estate left...

Buttigieg and Harris tied up the corporate donor

lol u forgot somebody

Biden? Buttigieg outraised him.

Why they hide the bodies under my garage
