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

I don't know. They had to perform as "Public Enemy Radio" when they were w/o Flav

didn't have to: it's a seperate entity without the live band or Flav, so Chuck and DJ Lord could play benefits more economically

It’s a memeword

this is erasure of your city's biggest rap song tbf

Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simp kind of man

I got a letter from the government the other day, it said they were simps

that squirrel in my pants video is genuinely fucked up in multiple ways
not the least of which is the Disney cartoon depicting an adolescent girl whose genitals and anus are being ravaged by squirrels

so they're branching out into ASMR?

Anal Squirrel Mauling Response

xpost katherine, akm. I think I said once awhile ago that I can't imagine having this kind of emotional/active investment in someone (in this case Bernie) unless they are paying me or I am having sex with them. It's weird but I also don't follow teams or engage in fandoms.

omg you're such a Becky

Klobuchar out

BREAKING: Amy Klobuchar is ending her Democratic presidential campaign, plans to endorse Joe Biden. https://t.co/omRIv4O3nP

Put in my primary vote for Warren today. I mean a lot of good that’ll do in this go around but had to stick with my first choice.

everybody duck!!

And the sounds of wailing and rending of garments were heard from the Meet The Press studio...

In the three minutes of "Morning" Joe I could stand, he urged her to drop out, so it's not unexpected.

I admit I am kind of cracking up that black voters in a state we already know won't be won by Democrats have now successfully bounced three moderates from the competition solely by saying "none of you motherfuckers are Joe Biden"

A singing acquaintance yesterday was posting mournfully on Facebook about how he never got a chance to cast a vote for Buttigieg and my main reaction was "you were that hype for your mans all over Facebook for months and you couldn't even be bothered to vote early?"

the "parasocial relationship projection" Discourse is starting to really bug me, because it doesn't acknowledge that "bernie sanders would totally rhapsodize about paris is burning, or have heard of it at all," while funny, is also an example of parasocial projection by the definition put forth by The Discourse

xp: I'm sorry, as what

There's a compare the candidates meme with Bernie and Petey and their reactions to "Paris Is Burning."

You have to search for it, though, so it really might be an issue of timeline curation.

This whole package on politics-as-fandom was pretty good:

xp The horny Beto tweet is so much better than all that has come since.

Ojeda and Avenatti as candidates are like the guy who thinks good sex is pumping away while you’re making a grocery list in your head wondering when he’ll be done.

O’Rourke is like the guy who is all sweet and nerdy but holds you down and makes you cum until your calves cramp.

uh

The safest thing is probably just to think of the nomination as a toss-up between Sanders and Biden now.

I'm not sure if our model will say that, but **it's getting pretty close to saying that** and the factors it isn't considering (i.e. that Biden could pick up a disproportionate share of Klobuchar and Buttigieg voters) would likely push it in that direction.

someday I will realize that when these questions come into my brain, I don't actually want to ask them

as a general ballpark what % of ppl have already voted?

Klobuchar out

She had a staffer shave her legs for this?

a centrist will lose to Trump (like last time)

hence sticking it to them and beating him are the same

QED

OCD more like

Hoping for a cage match between Petey and Klob for the right to be Biden's VP.

countdown to Booty's "yer likeable enough, Amy" tweet

a friend speculated that as soon as she realized she'd have no more opportunities to torment Pete, Klobs lost interest

so the DNC types are rrrreally pushing their chips back to Drooling Joe

i guess bcz Bloomie is accountable to no one

Do all these people dropping out improve the case for Warren at all or is she still toast?

I think Bernie is the only person whose departure from the race could improve the case for Warren.

I mean, everyone benefits from a smaller field, but I don't think she stands to gain significant ground.

Going to be loads of pressure on Warren to go now, right? I mean, more than before.

I just have not seen any realistic path to victory for her.

She's still picking up good endorsements and just dropped another plan today (farmworkers and food chain workers). I hope she sticks around til the end.

We'll see if she loses Mass. or not.

Neither Biden nor Sanders really needs her to drop out, I don't think, so I don't think their campaigns would do her the indignity of dangling inducements in front of her? xxp

I don't know what she "is" now: a female alternative to Sanders without a heart condition and believes in the system or a Not Biden? She's in an interzone.

the Mama Plan Interzone

Warren’s strategy, laid out in conversations with more than a half-dozen of her aides and close allies, relies largely on outlasting several of her less well-financed rivals and trying to collect their supporters when they drop out. One aide told POLITICO that the campaign thinks multiple candidates will withdraw in the next seven to 10 days, shaking up the race.
