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

wait for tuesday you assholes (not specifically directed at you assholes)

Brad otm

Harry Reid endorses Biden

Trying to keep in mind that when this is down to sanders vs Biden, the enthusiasm gap will be unmistakable

I don't think that's true actually

but let's find out!

brad p much always otm

At least when it’s Bernie vs Biden nobody can resort to accusations of sexism when ppl start arguing that Biden would lose to Trump (how’s that for an enthusiasm gap)

Bidenthusiasm

srsly this shows why the establishment Dems need to die fast

Wasn't Sanders projected to win in a majority of states by a decent margin tomorrow (and then possibly in several others by a slightly slimmer margin)? With Buttigieg and Klobuchar projected to not really do a whole lot? I mean, I guess the double drop-out could push it to Biden but it hardly seems like a sure thing.

Y'know, I legitimately like Warren, and I can bring myself to vote with varying degrees of irritation for just about anybody on the D side. But I find it depressing and aggravating that there's no serious contender left who was born later than 1949.

There never was one.

thank the Clintons and Obama

their philosophy wore out before this generation of the D "mainstream" did

ok

There never was one.

I guess. Still seems pretty grim to me that what started as a nominally diverse field is down to three white guys who are OVER 75, and a 70-year-old white lady who's a longshot at best. I mean, that's kind of pathetic.

I blame Gen X.

Don't ever post Borowitz here again.

I blame Gen X.

We blame ourselves too. We always have. It's one of the things we're best at.

xposts

if sanders can't maintain a clear enthusiasm gap over biden's supporters, then something has gone terribly wrong

he's such an Obama-era non-funny man, loved, I suspect, by the same over-50 grad school Warren types

xpost lol, I genuinely misread that as 'Biden's suppositories'

I don't know how you can say that, Alfred, the link clearly includes the word 'humor'.

their philosophy wore out before this generation of the D "mainstream" did

and it seems to me you lived your life like a Clinton in the wind

i'd say both biden and sanders are much funnier than andy borowitz

biden's suppositories, too

a borowitz report link on ilx, now i've seen everything

time to die

been ready since January '17

/humor

automatic fp for Borowitz imo

Don't ever post Borowitz here again.

vehement co-sign

I don't think I've ever been in an environment so humorless that there wasn't at least one person funnier than Andy Borowitz present.

*tips hat*

Borowitz hatred needs to be quarantined in a separate thread before it runs rampant here, infecting every post.

It's not worse than whatever the fuck that Perrin tweet was trying to do, in fairness.

Borowitz is a war criminal FPing everybody even thinking otherwise rn

The Oscars have ranked choice, instant runoff voting for Beat Picture and don't force voters to have to vote strategically unlike our idiot country does https://t.co/t0KS9SiIL1

And yet it ends up with an old white man winning best picture nearly every time

lol

So, how does Michael Tae Sweeney explain the Best Picture winners of the past two three four five six aw fuck it decades?

meanwhile early voting has begun in Florida.

I can vote on campus. Decisions.

iirc fall in line and vote for sanders

Pete and Amy back on stage together:

NEWS: A source familiar with the plans tells me Pete Buttigieg will endorse Joe Biden at a rally in Dallas tonight.

this is where early voting gets kind of weird, have to imagine there's been a lot of Klobuchar early votes in MN

irc fall in line and vote for sanders

The ranked-choice instant-runoff thing at the Oscars has only been a feature for the last decade or so.

this is where early voting gets kind of weird, have to imagine there's been a lot of Klobuchar early votes in MN

Everyone who voted early for Klobuchar gets to put an African-American teenager in jail

Trying reallllllllly hard not to engage with a friend, a Sanders diehard who just posted this:

"Their intentions are clear. They're all in it to stop the progressive candidate that wants real change. I urge Warren supporters to get behind Bernie now because she no longer has a chance, and I've heard the entire time that we want the same things anyway."

I guess "Nobody is owed your vote, they have to earn it" is a one-way principle.

You don’t have to like the sentiment but if you don’t want Biden you should support Sanders, and there’s really no way Warren can overtake him.

voted for Warren. If there's going to be a brokered convention I want her to be the one with the deciding delegates. Also sympathetic to my wife's steadfast commitment to having a candidate that isn't an old white guy, so something of a show of solidarity to it too.
