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

Yeah, feelin' like my plan this year is to vote and then immediately hack through the coax with a steak knife, dunk the router in the toilet, chuck the phone under the wheels of a passing bus, etc. And then just submit to the whims of fate.

Either Coronavirus or actual dementia.

A solid post-mortem.

But isn't that its whole value proposition?

No

Loomis seems rather restrained today.

In conclusion, my endorsement is 1) Warren, 2) Sanders, 3) Drinking Bleach, 4) Biden, 5) Listening to a Rush album on repeat for a year, 6) Bloomberg.

hey number five is definitely better than drinking bleach if that album is signals

Grace Under Pressure addresses our present political context imo

Bernie or we’re all gonna die but more importantly many specifically vulnerable people are gonna die in preventable ways bc it is a bad country. Idk y’all.

woah slandering Rush? I'm voting for Trump now

I wonder what the odds are that one of these septuagenarian candidates shaking hands with total strangers all day long will come down with the coronavirus before this campaign season is over.

...and yet it still feels a trifle ghoulish to suggest that Warren's best path to the presidency is Bernie having a heart attack

internet declared unusable today, everyone can log off now

No, I will never etc.

Good lord, I didn't know Marianne Fucking Williamson is a Sanders surrogate.

Feels red
Inside my head
And truth is often bitter
Left unsaid
Said red red
Thinking about the overhead
The underfed
Couldn't we talk about something else instead?

The 538 forecast isn't so much a prediction of future events as it is a simulation of results based on current inputs. If today's polls show that Sanders has a 10-point lead on Biden in Colorado, then 538 says there is *currently* a good chance that he will win that state, pick up X number of delegates, and thus be Y% more likely to win the nomination. But if tomorrow's polls show that the lead has narrowed, or that Biden has overtaken Sanders, or that Biden was endorsed by Colorado's governor, then the odds obviously change accordingly. 538 can't predict tomorrow's polls or endorsements and doesn't claim to be able to.

My dad voted for Bernie and my mom for Warren so I guess not every boomer is past saving.

I feel like there's been so many "Democratic establishment closes ranks to STOP BERNIE" takes in the last 48 hours that a lot of people are going to see it as a major coup for Sanders when he wins the barrels and barrels of delegates he was always going to win today.

today just trying to avoid twitter and remind myself that dem elites have continually proven themselves to be hapless and stupid

so have dem non-elites tho

non-Dem non-elites too

Can we poll them?

Trying to reconcile my famously charitable and easygoing demeanor and my insane desire to stab smug Warren voters

I may need to log off.

silby, gah, get help dude

... yeah silby you need to log off

I would support locking this thread for 24 hours

No no its okay I got through it I’m fine now

i mean i didn't want to stab any of the sanders supporters who are employing the very successful strategy of telling people their preferred candidate isn't viable and they should vote for the other guy

You know what has consistently avoided hapless stupidity, throughout the ages?

The innocence of a child.

Namaste.

Not literally stabbing, just uh posting.

Dunno if you drink, but have one on me.

I don’t I just go to the office and worry I will catch the covid

Anyone selling Covid 2020 shirts yet?

Trying to reconcile suppress my famously charitable shitpost-y and easygoing irascible demeanor and my insane desire to stab smug Warren perseverative a-hole Sanders voters

the cosmic tiktok dance goes on

vote for talk down to somebody you don't know

is AJJ still selling Mega Guillotine 2020 merch? that might really catch on depending on how the next couple weeks go

i've seen smug and condescending to describe warren supporters here. It's confusing because in these political threads she usually seems the least mentioned.

I mean. I am smug and condescending irl but I didn't think that translated fully here.

Lord Alfred's buying, let's gets some primarymosas up in here

Please don't stab anybody, it spreads coronavirus

there's also just a lot more of them, and a lot more of them are younger and more online. Idk that any candidate has a higher % of shitty fans. (Other than Bloomberg obv)

(<3 you guys, mean it, vote vote vote, bug others to vote, yadda etc).
peace

to request mimosas gets stabbed
don't hate mimosas hate...nm stab

Idk that any candidate has a higher % of shitty fans.

rhymes with "rump"
