Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

If Toomey had lost it would've been 51 GOP, 47 Dems. Kavanaugh would still have been confirmed, assuming all the other Senators votes stayed the same.

Bloomberg is still a ratfucker for screwing up that race tho imo

xps

what was bloomberg's rationale for supporting toomey? that he once sponsored a background check bill?

xxp lol @ that tweet, the 2020 version of diebold voting machine conspiracy theories

theories, eh

i tend to not see conspiracies behind gross displays of incompetence but maybe that's what they want me to think

It's not just the incompetence, it's the transfers of money, the unnecessary intrusion of profit-seeking people and companies in the process, professional incest in the party elite and the incompetent people in question publicly cheering on the primary beneficiary of their incompetence.

There are a lot of layers to peel back to explain that this is just the result of normal everyday corruption rather than the kind of corruption they think it is.

yes elections in this country are and have been extremely fucked up

"obviously the cia-backed candidate celebrating an early victory is not something he'll have to walk back with embarrassment in a few days bc a mayor pete fan built the app!!!" is where i can't follow

Your mistake is thinking he'll walk it back with embarrassment.

i mean, HE won't be embarrassed, but it will be embarrassing

not sure pete is capable of feeling embarrassment cf his campaign

yes elections in this country are and have been extremely fucked up

sounds like a conspiracy to me

Also I love that Morbs’ useless tweet above gets the identity of the Shadow CEO wrong

yes what i also love is how much people are running away with fucking misinformation

well as you have again pointed out this winter, i am a Trumpist

Tara McGowan is an American political strategist and journalist. She is the co-founder and CEO of ACRONYM, a political nonprofit organization notable for its substantial digital advertising in the 2020 United States presidential election.

n early 2019 ACRONYM acquired Shadow, Inc., a tech company that developed an app for the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses which caused delays in reporting the results.

So the semantic hair being split is that she's just that guy's boss?

GUYS, Pete didn't mean he was victorious, merely that he is viable.

if there was a conspiracy to delay bernie's victory for one-two days to hurt his momentum it is the pettiest conspiracy ever

if anything bernie comes out of this ridiculous bullshit looking great

but don't think we won't still be talking about it in 2024

my loyal followers, it appears i have the faintest throb of a pulse and am not actually the reanimated corpse of a dead centrist

if there was a conspiracy to delay bernie's victory for one-two days to hurt his momentum it is the pettiest conspiracy ever

So entirely on brand for a bunch of former Clinton staffers.

I really hope we're not still talking about this bullshit anywhere near super tuesday

We'll be talking about Bloomberg's $10 billion ad buy then

even if every conspiracy theory was true it doesn't do anyone good any good to whinge about it

I really hope we're not still talking about this bullshit anywhere near super tuesdaytonight.

He'll do the Ross Perot infomercial thing but it will be four hours long every night for a week.

Worst part of the slow results is that it's killing the momentum on making fun of Tom Steyer for spending $200mn to get 1.43%.

My conspiracy is that Buttigieg is actually the Smiler.

i have forwarded that theory on this thread!

really more of a ‘hiding in plain sight’ situation than a conspiracy per se imo

Really is wild that of all the front runners this little gerbil is getting traction in 2020. Like even Joe I “get”.

we have a gerbil problem

there is no motherfucking hair too small for a certain fucking poster to not fucking split

And yet we love you all the same, Morbsy dear.

I'm avoiding a friend's FB feed after I peeked shortly before lunch and saw several apoplectic twentysomethings post THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO HIM AGAIN BERNIE IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR THEIR FUCKING PARTY.

yeah what a surprise that post is, fuck off Lunch

That's not true; the Dem could use a bat

Wow Morbs you’re really upset you got called out for reposting dumb tweets again? You’d think you’d have a thicker skin by now

It’s not a “conspiracy theory” to be mildly curious about why the Iowa caucuses failed to produce results for the 1st time ever due to an app from a company whose CEO is a Pete supporter and whose board is packed with Dem establishment figures, after which Pete declared victory

my new proposal for politics is that you're only allowed to go from private sector to politics exactly once

so politics -> private sector -> back to politics is verboten

extremely otm

I dont think “mild curiosity“ is moving hashtags right now tho

The one move rule wouldn't work here because the private sector and politics are so deeply entwined.

looks like i'm not the only "dumb" tweet poster

And it’s absolutely wild to hear people who went all in on Russiagate insist that there is nothing suspicious going on here. Literally not one of whom predicted anything like this would happen, btw.
