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

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

wow ultimate Good Boy move

4:45p mst
*doorbell ring.*

voice in hunt3r’s (a warren canvasser) head: that’s a gotv ring.
*hunter open’s door, sees actual mid20s fluffbeard deer in headlights*
hunt3r: hey hey
deer: hello. uh, are you voting?
hunt3r: yup! i’m actually a canvasser for warren. who ya got?
deer: it’s just a job...
hunt3r: uhh, no worries, what’s up?
*deer hoofs at minivan script*
deer: so can i ask, who are you voting for? are you for warren?
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

I did see one that basically said Trump has already won since Buttigieg dropped out. very weird take considering I think Buttigieg isn't battle tested for the brain worms coming at him that those debates would entail

wtf I can't post in the right thread anymore I think I'm coming down w something

538 just updated their odds. 64% chance of brokered convention (up from previous 59%). Bernie at 23% odds of having a majority of delegates by convention, Biden at just 12%, everybody else below 1%.

others dropping out of course could change that drastically.

i'm not doing forecast shit, i'm just glad I won't be seeing this dweeb's mug much for awhile

Buttigieg is the oldest young person ever

Her base, in particular, is kind of irrelevant - upper middle class liberals and liberals with graduate degrees are going to vote the Democrat regardless.

As one of those people, let me just concede that the above is completely true and there is no strategic justification whatsoever for Democrats to take my preferences into account when choosing a nominee. You put a D after it, I'll vote for it. I have no credible threat of exit.

me too

Sanders has split the PE vote

Public Enemy Fires Flavor Flav After Bernie Sanders Rally Spat

jesus I was just reading about how he sent a cease and desist to Bernie's campaign

my friend is at that rally and says it's pretty dope. he's a mega hip hop head and Bernie stan so not shocked

everyone making predictions about how the race will go seems to have forgotten about the existence of bloomberg

the same Bloomberg who's been mentioned many times in the last 24 hours itt and by Nate Silver himself?

p sure nobody could forget about him if we tried

He took out 2 full page ads in the A section of my Sunday paper. Not surprising but Christ he is unavoidable. I have yet to receive a single mailer but for the 3 - plus a letter - I received from him.

The Flav block gonna peel some votes
