2020 Democratic presidential primary thread, pt 3: life is very long

c'mon man, he's not missing any votes.

I think he figuratively missed the one last night

Was this right?

Who's your money on for if this happens?

but no real scissors or rocks allowed near Klob obv

Over 70s should not be going to work in a pandemic.

This is nonsense, despite his heinous votes.

votes speak louder than words imo. Albanese gave up any claim to be called left-wing in 2015, too.

biden sounds how I feel, i.e. completely exhausted

rock paper scissors between Harris, Booker and Klobuchar

You can get 250/1 on Harris or Klobuchar. Forgot about Booker

(Amend: you can vote for bad legislation as a compromise, or along party lines, and explain the reason why. Doubling down, or denying it, later is still bad.)

I didn't claim Biden was left wing; I dismissed the claim he's right wing. He's a weather vane.

doesn't really matter what he Is, we know how he will govern

I'm hearing some Cuomo talk in the more feverish parts of the Twittersphere. maybe I'm in too deep myself but it sounds terrifyingly plausible.

He's a weather vane.

I bet he thinks this thread is about him

are you sure that's not just people talking about the Mario Cuomo alternate universe xp

I didn't claim Biden was left wing

Nor did I mean to imply that you did - apologies for the lack of clarity in comparison.

all good

iatee you really are fucking pissing me off -- "staying in" is the only option when dorks like you want to render him invisible if he 'withdraws'

boom

dang this is the third time I've agreed with Morbs today, what is goin on

the only people still watching the bernie sanders variety show right now are the members of the fanclub. he has been rendered invisible by a global pandemic that isn't going anywhere.

i want bernie's solutions and think he's still the best candidate on positions. but if suppporters don't recognize what the fuck is up when a person runs twice for prez and has a dedicated base but STILL can't get over.... he cannot get over as he's doing it, at least yet.

i mean as a shit-opinionated observer who _is not popular in the real_, i can say that the best thing i ever came to comfort with (at about age 28) was "hunt3r, you will never be 'popular guy.' if you will succeed, you will need to learn just enough of suck-up to not compromise your core." this is not rocket science. every politician does this dance, tho some start at "quite popular."

it is true that being popular enough to win a prez nom is not the same as being "popular guy." but bernie is old as dirt. his ideas are correct. why is biden seeming more popular? is it _only_ the media? if it is only the media, should bernie work harder with the media without compromising his core? is that possible? what is wrong with his candidacy?

Iatee otm

Bernie Sanders was just on with Chris Hayes railing against the Reublicans' proposed bill and advocating, passionately and intelligently, for a package that benefits workers and low income families.

He was on TV because he's running for president.

Would you prefer this messaging just stops?

I think this rules, if that’s at me.

no, to shakey

I’m pretty sure Chris Hayes would still have Bernie on even if he wasn’t running for president

yes

Hayes has long been the outlier employed by MSNBC

He could have had Senarors Castro or Warren or Klobuchar or Booker or Harris.

He had Bernie on instead and the latter part of the interview was about his campaign for president.

punditry makes ilxors stoopid

Hayes has long been the outlier employed by MSNBC

if he had any integrity he'd have bounced long ago, is why I refuse to take him seriously. (Without much of a dock in pay if he played his cards right.)

But I get that being the least-shit-person at a shit institution has its unique temptations.

where should he have bounced to?

I hear podcasting is pretty lucrative these days.

For them bennies is how i break it down basically

Not invisible to you.

he has been rendered invisible by a global pandemic a transparently corrupt media that isn't going anywhere.

Thanks, Stephen Miller

Biden just blurted out a word salad

just decide who we're going to blame for the second term, if we live

Joe Blurt

Won't take any salad without balsamic vinegar and grated pecorino romano
