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

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

Biden/Harris makes a depressingly large amount of sense.

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.

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

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 (COPPPPPPPPPP), Warren (SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!), Stacey (BLOOMBERG STOOOOOOOOGE), etc. it's not a mystery.

ftfy

is it always 100% essential that every mention of a politician not named Bernard Sanders or Liz Warren in this thread be caveated by calling them an utter and complete piece of dogshit?

fixed and: yes

but at this point voting for her feels like fan fiction

I tire of saying this, and perhaps it won't matter in a few hours, but.

She doesn't have a path? She'd have way more of a path if the people who say this stopped prematurely deciding she doesn't.

She can't win? She'd have a lot better chance at winning if the people who say this just fuckin voted for her.

It feels like fan fiction? It'd feel way less like that if the people who say this just went ahead and fuckin voted for her.

I would rather Bernard Sanders be president tho

ppl should vote for the person they want to be president and we should all get used to hating each other as we normally do

She'd have a lot better chance at winning if the people who say this just fuckin voted for her.

lmao at the notion these endorsements are being decided on the basis of "@anime_asslord was mean to me on Twitter"

Simon: Well, yeah, but my beef is not with people who prefer another candidate, but with people who want to vote for Warren and then talk themselves out of it because strategery.

bernie sanders earned my vote so i couldn't vote for warren. sorry

smug and condescending sanders supporters are...good

Collectively they* constitute the thing they're describing as an unfortunate fact of life.

* = people who talk themselves out of voting for Warren

The problem is, the people who say this, or who support her outright, appear to be greatly outnumbered by the people who have zero interest in voting for her.

The candidate who agrees with me on eight things is great, the candidate who agrees with me on seven things is the literal devil from hell, this is not hard to understand people.

four ex candidates endorsed biden with every ounce of their souls and hearts within a 48 hour timespan before the most important voting day of the primaries because they just believe in him so much

ilmers among us have a long held disgusting trait of voting tactically against their actual held beliefs iirc

voting for someone who has no chance of winning is cool, but it's not that far from writing-in Noam Chomsky

The GOP/the media/the Russians(maybe?)/the Illuminati (definitely) have done a really good job of sowing division among everybody left of Trump. I really really hope the narcissism of minor differences doesn't wind up handing him reelection on a satin pillow alongside a scrumptious dinner mint.

The problem is, the people who say this, or who support her outright, appear to be greatly outnumbered by the people who have zero interest in voting for her.

This reminds me of how everyone whinged about all-white candidates remaining onstage when for the most part we can assume they never once voted for or donated to any of the candidates of color

Voted Sanders in the Democrats Abroad primary (21 delegates at stake) because although I like Warren a lot, I don’t like the DNC coming together to prop up Biden, and ensure my mother says nothing but hunterbidenhunterbidenhunterbiden for the next eight months.

Cool, thanks

xp

who are you voting for Simon H.?

Red Green, iirc

smug and condescending sanders supporters are...good

pvmic

who are you voting for Simon H.?

I'm spending the day attempting necromancy on Eugene Debs so Bernie can have a reliable running mate

Want a president who shares your dreams? Vote Sanders.

Want a president who understands that for this country to have any future at all, the Republican Party must be ground into dust? Vote Warren.

I mean, realistically it hardly matters at this point; America is a bankrupt casino that's more than halfway on fire at this point. If you're not born rich here, you might as well hang yourself in your crib. But that's the landscape as I see it. I mean, Sanders thinks the Senate should keep all its current powers and yet somehow he'll sit behind the Resolute Desk, wave his arms and croak "Revolution!" and suddenly everyone will have single payer health care and Wall Street will become a worker-owned co-op.

hyperbole, the thread

I'm really excited for election day in November which I will spend hoping to die

This thread is a nightmare and should absolutely be locked for 72 hrs or more

Seriously, it's totally expected for Sanders supporters to drag anyone that doesn't vote for him, but I wasn't expecting them to drag people who vote for him for the wrong reasons. Why not just take the W while you can?

I voted for Warren so I could maintain my almost 100% record of voting for the person who doesn't get the nomination.

All the narrative of Dem disarray ignores that we pointed and laughed at the Republican primary fiasco and stated they might be over as a party and dude still managed to win.

A congested field that can't produce a majority winner mighta been damaging decades ago, but in polarized era where several hundred electoral votes are pretty much guaranteed based on what letter is next to your name, it matters little in long term prognosis.

Also the "Warren can't win vs she can win if people just voted for her" debate has been recycled in near identical form here for three days. It's getting played.

xp that's why i'm pulling the lever for bill bradley. go knicks.

I just want a candidate that doesn't smell of Aspercreme and is tough on hen fap,

Would you settle for one that does, but has love for Corn Pop?

Incredible to think how well a billionaire does tonight is Sanders' best hope.

one way or another it's always up to them it seems

ok I should really follow my own advice, good luck
