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

Someone better start collecting organ donations for Ginsberg.

I mean who the fuck knows. He got voters. A lot of people who vote regularly are relieved to vote for him and there are obviously big problems with bernie’s electoral coalition, which seems to have made negative progress since 2016. But I don’t think he’d be a good president even if he beats expectations and wins, and with him as the candidate and trump as his opponent it’s going to be a truly awful year.

dana bash says she "got a text from a disaffected trump supporter Russian chaos-bot" who says that if this is the joe biden that shows up for the election, he's gonna give trump a run for his money

fixed

Biden would be a Placeholder-in-Chief.

well if Dana Bash said it

dana bash is so bad, but not quite to the level that is so bad it's good. it's the uncanny valley of badness.

speaking of bad news,

the fact of the day.

Biden as of Saturday: "Aside from fund-raising, he has not campaigned in a Super Tuesday state in over a month."

He also barely had staff there; and barely aired ads.https://t.co/2HqMCiUjPG pic.twitter.com/215ws1HIyV

nice to be obama’s buddy

Xp That feels like ... good news? If he can steam roll like this without resources. I mean I don’t buy that. But I don’t think what his operation spent as the worst funded campaign in a race with 7 people really tells you anything.

Biden is running entirely on name recognition, he doesnt even have a campaign. It’s embarrassing.

Actually maybe this is the key to winning, stay out of sight, be the Generic Democrat who does so well in the polls.

hey, as Charles Pierce said, it worked for Warren Harding.

aaaand Biden wins Massachusetts.

"Without spending a nickel or opening a single office," sez MSNBC.

WTF

What the hell are all these oldsters afraid of

Nobody cares, but voting is STILL going on in Houston.

One potential loser tonight is campaigns. Like, in general.

Joe Biden had ONE field office in Virginia. Was outspent 7-to-1 by Sanders and almost 100-to-1 by Bloomberg in all super Tuesday States. Had barely campaigned in any states. And yet...

They’re gonna be dead before any Sanders policies ever affect them

NBC is fucking gleeful

Warren's Super PAC will not be spending any money going forward apparently

btw voting by mail rules, i have voted in every single election i was eligible for and i have never waited one second in a line to do so

Elizabeth Warren's message to supporters: "There are six more primaries just one week away, and we need your help to keep up the momentum."

This is what I was referring to when I said I suspected some behind-the-scenes fuckery. Because seriously: what the fuck. Again, Biden just a couple days ago won his first primary in over 30 years of attempting to become president. He was widely believed to no chance through, what, at least a week ago? And now he's the frontrunner for the democratic nomination by a sizable margin, after winning big in states be barely campaigned in if at all. Seriously. What's happening here.

Pundits being wrong about the future is not evidence of fuckery

America fuckin sucks

Warren's ad blitz, the centrist Voltron forming behind him, old people scared of socialism

People giving the minimum amount of fucks

Online leftist take is now that Warren has handed the election to Trump

Apparently

well I mean the minimum would be zero, as in not showing up. The minimum nonzero amount of fucks, which means “that guy who was almost president before, right, I want him”

Anyway this year I’m definitely getting Germany to give them the citizenship they owe me after making my grandfather stateless in 1941 just in case we get thunderdome next year, fuckin

yeah, this isn't a two person Presidential election where someone is forecasted to lose Reagan-Mondale style and puts together a hilarious Bad News Bears run to somehow surge in the polls. it was a guy who was in a congested playing field who was slipping when votes were getting divvied up amongst several centrist candidates, and had two unexpected withdrawals prior to Super Tuesday.

I sure as fuck didn't expect his resurgence but this is why I kept telling people prognosticating was difficult when you didn't know who would drop out and when.

remember the Michigan primary in 2016 where not a single poll or aggregator correctly forecasted Sanders's victory? this shit isn't sorcery but it's a wee bit harder to predict than a Presidential election.

Online leftist take is now that Warren has handed the election to Trump

he wasn't almost president, he just stood near the president

xps

it’s basically only my religion keeping me from actively believing we all deserve pain, suffering, and death, so let’s hope that keeps working or I might get banned

I don’t need you to interpret milo’s posts for me, but thanks anyway

"I was on the cover of Time"

"Well, you were on the corner....the little corner thing, it wasn't .....it wasn't like when the President is on the cover"

As Keynes allegedly said, in the long run we’re all dead, and I have that thought to console me

life is like a banana, it's yellow and it slides

as always, my takeaway: the death drive is real.

lol @ warren's "momentum" citation

Maybe my shtick can be becoming a neoreactionary and getting really into N1ck L@nd and Cur71$ Y@rv1n

silby, if you could stand the thought of children, you could also console yourself by believing that if you do everything in your power to protect them and raise them well, they might grow up to be part of a better world than any of us can imagine.

I’m perfectly capable of caring about your children I don’t need my own special ones
