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

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

i encounter way more smug and condescending sanders supporters in my daily use of the internet, but my understanding is that on twitter everyone is terrible

Sorry everyone I was briefly incensed by one tweet in a way I shouldn’t have been. Anyway go vote y’all

The first person at this bar to request mimosas gets stabbed.

how about a bellini. For my friend.

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"

It's in my head.

forrest gump is a film - the greatest film of the 20th century - not a presidential candidate

I get the impulse behind the continuous "someone was mean to me on the internet and now I don't think poor people deserve healthcare" jokes and prodding, I really do; but it's a super-sized shitty look after going on six years of "candidates have to EARN your vote, you don't owe it to anyone." Like, maybe just rethink the approach here.

I meant Dem candidates obv

I'm just so upset about Richard Marx's Sanders opinions that I may never listen to Hold On To The Nights again after this election cycle.

Bernie can't even get the Marx endorsement

hold on to the memories

it don't mean nothing

Biden/Harris makes a depressingly large amount of sense.

what you think she's gonna endorse Bernie after the way his supporters went after her?

I think I'm going back to the old primary thread, where we were all certain that Joe had no chance

On ILX and elsewhere, I’ve found Sanders supporters to be default dismissive of Warren. The leftist line of attack is mostly ad hominem, and focuses on Warren’s presumption to run against Bernie as progressive standard-bearer (“splitting the vote”), and her bona fides as a progressive (“I don’t trust an ex-republican”). Sanders supporters have often tried to collapse the difference between the two (“their policies are mostly the same”), which is true, but also ignores the clarity, depth, and precision of the policies she’s put forth.

I waffled between the two for months, but settled on Warren because of her pragmatism, intelligence, and pugnaciousness. Her preparation and debate skills seem to be at least as good as Bernie’s, and she seems to speak extemporaneously on a broader base of affairs than any of her rivals. I haven’t been convinced of any reason why Bernie would be a better president than she would be, and most of his supporters’ arguments boil down to electability and experience - both of which are correlative with the pair’s respective genders. She might go no further than the primaries, but I’m glad to support her until then.

Just a reminder for the over anxious among us today. Real change will happen from the bottom up. No one person is going to save us and this presidential election is just another step along the road toward what needs to happen. The problems are far too entrenched to think that one election can solve them.

hmm, turns out i alone can save us

I'm partial to Warren myself, but at this point voting for her feels like fan fiction.

what you think she's gonna endorse Bernie after the way his supporters went after her?

like this would have happened in any universe under any circumstances

I meant that she makes a depressingly sensible VP choice for the dog-faced pony soldier.

tough on crime!

put kids in jail 2020

dude, jesus christ, i meant from a horse-race perspective. is it always 100% essential that every mention of a politician not named Bernard Sanders in this thread be caveated by calling them an utter and complete piece of dogshit?

whichever old white guy wins is going to pick a younger a) woman, b) person of color or c) both for VP - that means Harris, Warren, Stacey, etc. it's not a mystery.

like this would have happened in any universe under any circumstances

yr right, cuz if anyone knows how to hold a grudge to the bitter end, it's Berniebros.

unlike Biden and Harris, who know it's better to bury the hatchet
