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

she was tearing into him like 36 hours ago lol

yeah and a lot of things have happened in 36 hours

You wanna call Richmond and Clyburn etc the "establishment", you're writing off their voters

Howmst does this fucking follow, shakey

Bernie should obviously reject Warren's endorsement, jeez. Doesn't he know she used to be a Republican? What a sell-out.

Anyway, she doesn't need to endorse him, she just needs to release all his voters she's been holding captive in her mountain lair and things will sort themselves out.

Howmst does this fucking follow, shakey

sincerely spell out the steps in this syllogism so me, a histrionic idiot, can follow them

too easy, too easy

b/c right now all I see is

1. I, silby, and Bernie Sanders, call James Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, who endorsed Joe Biden, the consensus pick of the Democratic Party establishment, a member of the Democratic Party establishment
ergo 2. I, silby, and Bernie Sanders, consider people who have voted for James Clyburn in the past to be…what, not worthy of notice? Fake voters? Bad Democrats? Sheeple? What the fuck are you saying, exactly

*waves giant flag that says "stop!!!"*

I'm spending the rest of the spring inside my house to avoid catching the 'vid so I will never stop

7th or 8th time is the charm eh?

Those voters love him and follow his lead. Alienate the leaders, you alienate their voters

Xps

Sounds like you don't think much of those voters!

easily led, those James Clyburn voters, says Shakey

something like 13% of black men voted for Trump. all you Trump haters sure have egg on your face now!!

(black male voters, I should say)

When you're so eager to call someone racist that you make incredibly patronizing arguments...

oop!

Shakey do you think women should get the vote or will they just be swayed by their husbands

silby, you think you should take a break after posting continuously for 30 hours?

I good a good night's sleep!

Amazing how the 2016 election basically slid the cheese off your crackers but it's 2020 guys

Impressed, y'all only bludgeoned that thing for a couple hours but nobody would ever guess that it used to be a horse.

haha!

hey so while we’re sorting all this out can someone explain what would have if instead of ~carefully coordinating their campaign suspensions like mean girls~ Mayor Pete and Abusive Boss Amy had dropped out a couple of weeks ago?

counterfactuals are banned

I feel like so much of this thread is "oh no Biden won" -- Bloomberg is gone, Warren will probably be gone soon, 2/3 of the delegates are left -- millions and millions of people are going to get to choose between Sanders and Biden and we'll just see! If more people like Sanders he'll win! He was strong in the Midwest before, why not now?

Again, a week ago, one of the blowhards itt was wigging out about Bloomberg

we need to experience horrible despair daily now, we're addicted

aw you guys made me lol irl

lmao excellent neanderthal

just caught up with this thread and think it gave me a case of the covid-19

I'd really like us to start calling it the 'vid

Covid and Cambria

In an interview with (god) Rachel Maddow, Sanders addressed the Clyburn matter. After two minutes of boilerplate (he, Obama, and Clyburn worked on an important proviso to the ACA, etc), in which he also said he respected and admired him, said, "His politics aren't mine."

On first glance harmless; after a few seconds I can see its obvious political obtuseness. Couldn't he have said, "I look forward to working with Clyburn in the future?" Something to signal to Clyburn voters he wants them? He's this deaf, isn't he?

nailed it

South Carolina already voted, Alfred, and I'm pretty sure there's a no takesies backsies clause in endorsements (or else Julian Castro would have been on stage with Beto, Pete and Amy).

Oh ffs xxp

There are other constituencies besides South Carolina's. Besides, why the hell would you piss of Jim Clyburn? There's blue communities in even red states.

*off

Love to piss ppl off by telling them I respect and admire them

I mean, positioning against his own party is effective bc shit, you can position against the GOP these days just by not kicking puppies, and “uncompromising” is a huge part of the appeal.

So it’s a feature not a bug, but it’s why the ceiling.

That's political doublespeak for "piss off" xpost c'mon Simon

lads

Xxxpost it's almost if the "his politics aren't mine" made any admiration feel a bit cloying

He's so mean!!
