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

Maybe this is all a cunning plot for a brokered convention where they all jump in to support Bernie, earning the love and adoration of all the Bros.

it also depends on what proportion of the vote was already cast vs will be cast on Tuesday, etc

I am pretty sure the polling isn't great for second choice options. I wouldn't read too much into either.

by all means though, anybody who wants a new peptic ulcer between now and Tuesday is welcome to it.

for instance, that poll showing Klobuchar being the second choice, many may have answered that in a perfect world situation, i.e. "this is my second favorite candidate", but might not want to vote for her as it feels like throwing their votes away since she doesn't have a chance in Hell.

i learned about this because anita baker retweeted the ny times tweet about it #news

Nate's view:

Buttigieg dropping out is harmful to Sanders in 2 ways. Per the economist, relatively few Buttigieg voters were also considering Bernie. But, his voters will now help Biden, Warren and Bloomberg to hit 15% in more states and districts.https://t.co/4JApGxCCKx

clearly just skimming ilx and then raking in those sweet analyst samoleans

yes i said “sweet analyst”

prob smart for Pete, he's done enough to be a player next time

Congratulations to Klobuchar for outlasting someone she clearly envisioned engulfed in flames every time she closed her eyes. Now she can drop out herself.

pete finishing vmic with the ultimate "good boy" move

I wonder by what back channel the bad news came

welp, I'm snoozing FB until Wednesday.

xpost by Buttigram

good riddance pete

I'm guessing wrt Tuesday anyway that he's still gonna gets some votes though, right?

he'll still be on the ballot (won't he?) and people are p dumb

esp. Pete voters, sorry Pete voters but

giving my vote instead to Mookie Wilson

understandable

so after Bloomie shits the bed Tuesday, will he stay in as a foil to move voters to the center, or will his pride be too hurt and drop out

tuesday is literally the first time hes been on the ballot. he's blown a p big wad to get to this pt. i cant imagine him dropping out after the first week, esp since he's polling well in FL.

i mean maybe he's tired of getting dunked on and he just says fuck it im taking my ball home, but he's made of money and can afford to plop another couple hundred million throughout the month of march b4 ppl tell him to fuck off 4ever

I would imagine he'll bail and bankroll Biden

I was reading somewhere that his team have their own software which has calculated hard and fast thresholds to meet and their won't be any "decision making" per se if they don't meet them

I read that quote from his staff too which kinda prompted the question

Steyer has the record for dollars spent per delegate currently, doesn't he (dethroing JEB! 2016)

I have the mildest of affection for an openly gay man who made it this far.

And that's all.

hm, does this mean the "center" candidates are going to coalesce around biden?

not yet. after super tuesday, probably klob is out too.

msnbc sez Biden and Booty have been huddling over the weekend, discussing an endorsement

hunt3r: yeah. who you got?
deer: bloomberg.
hunt3r: cool—the main thing is make sure everyone votes! get em out. thanks!
*exeunt*

Buttigieg would be a complementary VP choice for Biden in some ways: his support skews younger and more college-educated.

BIDEN BUTT

hearing this to the Mickey Mouse theme

Maybe they team up and butt is just so broadly unlikable it tanks biden

America loves butts in 2020

sigh I wish

federal butt funding bill needed

klobuchar will surely drop out after super tuesday too, she's only staying in because she has a good chance of winning minnesota which otherwise sanders would probably run away with.

who fucking knows at this point what warren will do though

can we just human centipede our favorite three candidates together

no

biden is now the youngest remaining man ffs

that was at least one thing Buttigieg had going for him. he's younger than me.

would like to see the Presidency get progressively less geriatric

warren really going after bernie in some video clip I just watched. surprised.

xp i'm still cool with an old person tbh

Brownface vs stealing anti-apartheid valor

really exhausted with all the galaxy-brain takes on twitter, eg 'every vote not for bernie is a vote for biden!', 'bernie didn't go to selma, he's such a racist!'

every once in a while this one dude pops up, in response to whatever the latest news is, demanding that bernie drop out and become warren's vp, and how deeply misogynistic he is for not doing so

i'm not following these people, i just need to mute better

feel like you could play Bingo with the amount of bizarre takes on Twitter for just about every topic, but especially political races.

i found one dude who kept saying during the super bowl that both teams on the field were "infected", but idk with what
