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

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

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.

Biden just blurted out a word salad

Joe Blurt

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

I think hibernation is mere torpor, not news-proof

Some rational group of Dems needs to go to Biden and tell him he's decided to drop out.

If you think there's a scintilla of a chance of him being elected, you are deranged.

Not even a scintilla?

There's a slim chance he drops out, I just put down 10 each on Harris and Klobuchar at 250/1 in case

Beginning in 2014, the agency funded research on long-term hibernation as a way to facilitate long-term space travel. Going to Mars, for example, is limited by the stubborn needs of astronauts to do things like eat and move around. But if their metabolic processes could be slowed to almost zero, they could theoretically travel much farther.

this turned out poorly in Star Trek IIRC

And Planet of the Apes.

hmm might bet another 10

consider the source but this seems Good imo

It appears that Bernie got his unemployment provision into the Senate Bill: 100% of salary for laid-off workers up to 75K/year, and benefits to include tipped and gig workers who are not usually covered.

Is there any evidence? I don't doubt you, but I look at Red Rose's Twitter feed and it's a dumpster fire.

ah yes beth lynch who retweeted threats of violence after bernie lost michigan etc good content xyz please leave

No

I wonder if the benefits are different for furloughed workers versus those permanently laid off

judging conduits on the webs: who gives a fuck

jesus christ

He mumbled a similar sentiment on Nicole Wallace's show yesterday, but it was clear -- then -- that he was waxing patriotic, i.e. "We all want our presidents to do well during crises." This is uh

how dare he!

I get Biden's meaning when watching the video tbf. It helps if you transcribe it as "I hope that he does so strong that he's up way above that, because we need the help now".

It's not very eloquent but I think he means "I hope he does such a good job that he can get a lot more than 49% of the country to think he's doing a good job because he's the President and we need help now."

it's very out of touch given what a monster this president is

Yeah, it's banal and out of touch; I guess I'm responding to the commenters on Viser's tweet who are saying it doesn't make any sense.

xp Shame Biden isn't there to reach across the aisle and meet the GOP half-way.

i watched that FB live interview and all of his answers were like that; started strong then kind of trailed off with no energy

I really don't know how folks can see someone fighting for them like this and decide "no, actually, I want the person who will do nothing for me." https://t.co/M3RB00VPly
