2020 Democratic presidential primary

What did Vincent Donofrio’s wife do to piss off Sanders trolls so much btw? Saw a blip on my “celebrities quitting twitter” screen the other day.

if you think mckinney's bad, wait til you find out where bernie's been working

irl lol

there is one idea I like from Buttigieg it is the notion of recapturing faith from the right.

if Warren follows “break up big tech” with “criminalise religion” she’s got my vote

i don't see anything soooooo disgusting in that Pete quote (and I'm a Warren supporter). This is a fucking primary, of course people are going to try to find a way to elevate themselves above those polling higher than them. That's a pretty tame way of doing it too. Jesus fucking christ.

Jacobin publishes as much innocuous stuff as poorly argued trash (putting them on par with most outlets) but Meagan Day should know better than to think she's being persuasive there.

she's doubled down, and the encouraging comments are something to behold

Stans gonna stan.

i'm glad "a couple Sanders fans" are being used as cudgels

politics is the worst. watch baseball.

I'm watching Ozu. More democratic.

obv you've never heard the "baseball and democracy" monologue from Richard Greenberg's play "Take Me Out"

remember reading about Take Me Out and wanting to see it

The only thing that feels longer than the Democratic primary process is a baseball game.

it is a favorite of those with long attention spans and active minds

… like Bernie!

if the candidates were bands, Bernie would be Tool

what a bern

(talented, progressive, appeal cuts across previously established genre lines, been making the same record for 15 years, a little long-winded, fans generally acknowledged to be The Worst)

go onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

as you do

you should read the Clintonite Democrat Fag Blog if you think his fans are the worst

link?

I like Joe My God! the commenters are like any anywhere, ie not worth paying attention to

no thanks

likely not the one i'm talking about. they're mostly neolibs, they just don't know it

Bernie Sanders had two stents inserted after chest discomfort yesterday, per statement.

Was about to post.

Fuck, that sucks.

god damn it

bernie <3

Well this is bullshit

Bernie's campaign cancelled his Iowa ad buy

Just as he secured another endorsement too

If all Bernie accomplishes is making Warren seem like the reasonable choice that's still not bad

Bernie's campaign cancelled his Iowa ad buy

shit, really?

i was just reading about that ad this morning, the first big spending of his campaign in iowa ($1M plus, i think)

just voted Martin O'Malley

Contrarian

not too late for Lupe Fiasco to enter

interesting new monmouth poll (https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_100219/):

in just the early states (those with primaries in february 2020 or super tuesday on march 3):

warren: 28%
biden: 25%
sanders: 14%

everyone else at 5 or under.

in all other states:

warren: 28%
biden: 25%
sander: 16%
buttigieg: 6%

fortunately if Bernie wins the nomination we won't have to worry about his opponent or any of his opponent's favorite media outlets trying to use his health to create hysteria.

fear of what the Republicans will do to the candidate is def the key to donkey victory

so why worry about Warren's chances then?

bernie's age/health was always a legitimate concern imo. same with biden obv.

they're in the race to make Warren look young and vital!

lol @ Harris pickin a fight with Twitter

She wants attention.

This is beyond not good. When Republican politicians say this about the US everyone knows what it means. https://t.co/c1TlFLN175

That's a silly and devoid of context way to interpret that statement.

I don't think "due to demographic realities, they're going to destroy themselves unless they choose a more conciliatory path" has the same semantic meaning as "due to demographic realities, they must subjugate the encroaching demographics before they are subsumed" even though they start with the same phrase.

Like, Warren is literally saying that Israel's survival is incumbent upon treating Palestine as fully-fledged good faith partner, yet somehow this is being painted as if she is saying the most important thing is for Israel to grind the heels of its boots against Palestine's neck, but the person who gets it right is the same person who 3 years ago couldn't distinguish between "issues that affect black people" and "issues that affect poor people".
