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

Voting for Biden in the primary is what I’d do if I wanted Trump to win.

the Dems nomimate Joe Biden, yes, they desreve to lose. He's going to get trounced.

How the hell is this equivalent to "wanting Trump"?

― Webcam Du Bois (Hadrian VIII),

If they deserve to lose, then you won't work for them, and you disregard the overwhelmingly black votes in, say, Alabama that put Biden over.

But it's early, fools.

How have the results been a surprise? Biden's exceeding his totals in states he was expected to win.

Fucking white people here are fucking mopers. I should close this thread and keep reading Grace Paley.

Yea I'm done with this thread. Wish I could bookmark DJP and Soto's posts only but alas

joe biden sucks regardless of who voted for him and the news tonight so far sucks

yeah he sucks but it's early and y'all are overreacting

and y'all are overreacting by implicitly shitting on the overwhelmingly black people who voted for Biden who've felt the evil of GOP policy more than most people in this thread. Calm the fuck down.

No one is "implicitly shitting" on anyone but Joe Biden.

Even fuckin 538 is telling people to stop overreacting to the first half of the night.

Also some of y'all that shit yrselves prematurely in 2018 midterms are doing it again so fuckin shocked

and y'all are overreacting by implicitly shitting on the overwhelmingly black people who voted for Biden who've felt the evil of GOP policy more than most people in this thread. Calm the fuck down.

give this shit a rest, my friend. I understand the reasons for their breaking for biden are complex and honestly, for me, unknowable, but he still sucks. both things can be true

I know this reflects poorly on me but I had no idea who James Clyburn was three days ago. Apparently now he’s a kingmaker.

I mean really

The most moderate people I know in real life are the ones who hate America but still think you should vote for socialists so these rude intrusions by the rest of reality are always jarring

I’m going to stop posting here for a while, everyone in here is fucking insufferable myself included

give this shit a rest, my friend. I understand the reasons for their breaking for biden are complex and honestly, for me, unknowable, but he still sucks. both things can be true

My responses encompass both these reactions, but guess who's snapping first.

If I don’t post I might just start screaming my anxieties at passers by

I must post

yeah he sucks but it's early and y'all are overreacting

followed by "you're being racist by saying this sucks"

I can’t simultaneously regulate my emotions about elections and the covid-19 outbreak across the lake

Xpost jfc that isn't what he was saying he's saying look above your own goddamn navel

and y'all are overreacting by implicitly shitting on the overwhelmingly black people who voted for Biden

Sotosyn giving out OBAMA IS MY ROCK STAR tees to Biden voters

Don't call me n---, whitey

You know what would be nice right now? Samosas.

srsly your comment is what I expect from FOX News commenters.

So one exit poll has Warren third in Massachusetts?

Long lines at Texas polling stations!

Sanders doing well in TN? wild.

Returns will be delayed because of the tornadoes tho.

If the Dems nominate Joe Biden, yes, they deserve to lose. He's going to get trounced.

Biden's problem won't be whether there are enough voters who hate the idea of Trump being president. Plenty do. He just needs to get enough of them to cast their votes. His main problem is that it usually requires giving voters some sort of positive inducement to vote, apart from "I'm not that guy you hate. I'm that guy you think is kind of harmless and ineffectual."

If hatred of Trump is his only card to play, lord knows it still might be enough, but there's plenty of room to doubt that it's good enough. Millions of voters may just look at "Ewwwww vs. Blah" and stay home.

Whites don’t understand Biden

I can live with that.

We all have varying feelings about the various candidates and what a vote for each portends and how a vote for x impacts my desire to see y do well etc etc but I hope we can at least all come together and agree that a vote for Bloomberg is the equivalent of voting to have a jagged fishhook slowly run through one's urethra. Just why. Just why.

I think hatred of Trump is going to be very motivating, whoever the nominee is

It was in 2018 but impeachment didn’t make a dent and the constant crises have flattened a lot of reaction to them. Doesn’t seem safe to count on disgust as a strong motivator.

You underestimate the disgust of brown people.

I love how the midterms really saw a lot of recognition that "it is up to us." If anything, surviving impeachment might be an even greater motivator, now that there are no more formal countermeasures.

ok nvm fuck you tn.

but Arkansas??😍😘😍

Long lines at Texas polling stations!

Well, they did close like 500 locations.

You underestimate the disgust of brown people.

This is not borne out by numbers. Trump did better than Romney with Latinx voters in 2016 and Democrats only gained a couple of percentage points in the midterms.

This is not borne out tonight.

Anyway, I find these Charles Pierce headlines hilarious, sad, and true:

It Looks Like Democratic Primary Voters Want a President They Can Ignore 4 or 5 Days a Week

The Warren G. Harding pitch is hitting for Joe Biden.
