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

I have never seen this The Discourse thing before! is a chef involved. Is that the right one?

TIL @JoeBiden was instrumental in halting a @BernieSanders effort to stop Big Pharma from price-gouging with publicly-funded research https://t.co/0cNCAMQ06j

you know, the discourse, the au jus, the ambient smog of opinions and takes, most of which are constructed as all-or-nothing moral imperatives

I gotta say my life has improved in a small way since I shut myself off from a couple main sources of The Discourse so I can stay well shy of toxic woke shock

but that’s the thing, one of the moral imperatives is to not stop paying attention (see: the sheetcaking discourse)

I'm so relieved that I have no fucking idea what you're talking about

sheetcake as in the SNL sketch? if so, wasn't the point of that sketch lampooning white allies for talking a big game but not showing support in any real meaningful way?

google exists; it’s one of the few things where the discourse is in consensus

what on earth are you going on about

this thread is a landfill today

oh right, based on a sketch that everybody disagreed on.

I quote DJP cos he was pretty otm when it aired but
------------------------------------
Why is everyone automatically assuming that Tina Fey playing a character screaming at a cake before shoveling it into her mouth is meant to be taken as a 100% sympathetic, valorous character? Isn't a big chunk of the joke here that, despite meaning well and thinking some good, rational things re: how to be a decent person under normal circumstances, we're watching a terrified person who has no idea what to do so she's settled on screaming at her food before eating it? How do you remove the portion of the presentation where she is obviously terrified and doesn't know what to do and have anything cogent to critique?

hearing this in Jeff Buckley's voice

if bernie would just add Lorne Michaels to the Times Square "festivities" I'd find a way to do actual foreign election interference

I was driving into the Minneapolis suburbs from out of state about the time Klobuchar dropped out. Might be empowered with dark energy.

who should I curse with dark iowan energy next?

me for frequenting this thread

*waves hands*

Now everybody scream

Chris Matthews out

basically I can't wait for this to be over so I can stop existing in a state where no matter what I think I am deemed morally bankrupt by The Discourse

god it would be great if it did end but i have little faith

dope xp

Alright mh, now curse Chuck Todd

I was actually thinking earlier today how bad Chris Matthews’ hair looks lol

mh is a the puppetmaster

so if the Wire show ends early enough, what’s the most lit twin cities super tuesday party tomorrow? can i go burn down a building with ilhan?

aw I wanted to go to Wire but have no babysitting

TIL Chris Matthews made FIVE MILLION A YEAR

nice work if you can get it

xxl do you have a building?

loool xxp

i'm hearing it in billy corgan's

Trump/Biden debate will be the scariest performance of Waiting for Godot

the world is a trash fire
sent to dra-ayee-ayee-ayeeain (your will to live)

Klobuchar - VP
Pete - Secretary of Defense
Beto - Secretary of Ollies

wow, the video is even more intense than I expected

I am feeling a warm tingle up my leg

poppin bottles

so the cork flies right in Chris's eye

sorry; I should have realized that bringing it up is even worse in the moral sorting than thinking it

(that was not meant as sardonic, it's an entirely unironic post)

Beto endorsing Biden.

last week tonight did a montage this week of all the times he blurghed his sign off.

katherine, you are too hard on yourself.

So is MSNBC still trying to bury Sanders? Y/N

they're trying to bury themselves in a huge cave

Facing a panel that includes Rob Reiner, Chris Hayes has the look of a man who sees a martini over Reiner's shoulder he will never reach.

given that the response to my post was "this thread is a landfill" arguably I am not hard enough on myself

how effusive is Meathead being about -- no, I don't care

starting to think this beto o'rourke character isn't quite as punk rock as he claims.....................

Calves no longer cramping...

i mean all these characters want futures in the democratic party, support in whatever they run for next, cushy DNC chair jobs or whatever, down the line they need "endorsed establishment champ Joe Biden" on their resumes. not exactly inspirational but not exactly surprising either.
