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

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

get it, bernie

^^^^^^^^^^

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) have agreed to drop procedural objections and let the bill move on a fast track in exchange for a vote on an amendment to the package to cap beefed-up unemployment benefits at 100 percent of workers’ salaries.

Their amendment will need 60 votes to pass, and it's expected to fail, setting the stage for final passage of the mammoth coronavirus stimulus package later Wednesday evening.

Just a bunch of showboating

yup exactly.

Rick Scott should be in jail.

his money laundering scheme company used to be one of my clients lol....

dammit strikethrough fail

Here for Bernie roasting these bastards

Thinking about that “I’d want Warren to feed me soup if I were sick bc Bernie would just yell at me 😢😢😢” bullshit from a few months ago https://t.co/fAmqqbohGQ

wow yes really cool that people are still attacking Warren for no fucking reason. just some more quality tweets shared by xyz.

I get more of a pro-Bernie vibe than a Warren attack there

Yeah I was more for posting the actual video. I could've posted the tweet below that but yeah I don't give a fuck either way.

"This tweet is unavailable"

"i'm going to kill myself to work for him and make sure he defeats donald trump"

yeah what was the rest of that sentence?

also, note that the first place I saw the article on the Biden assault (yahoo) has removed the story.

NY primary pushed to June 23

new survival target date for me

MORE: Strong enthusiasm for Joe Biden among his supporters—just 24%—is the lowest on record for a Democratic presidential candidate in 20 years of ABC/WaPo polls. 53% of Pres. Trump’s supporters are highly enthusiastic about supporting him. https://t.co/pSBggBV4i6

cool

who could have predicted this

Joe Biden: I Feel (for) Every Woman

I mean I'm sure a very high proportion of Tulsi Gabbard supporters were highly enthusiastic about supporting her

I feel all good people

I mean I'm sure a very high proportion of Tulsi Gabbard supporters were highly enthusiastic about supporting her

This is fine 2.0.

I mean I'm sure a very high proportion of Tulsi Gabbard supporters were highly enthusiastic about supporting her

There’s déjà vu in these results: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton found herself in largely the same position four years ago. She, too, had a slim lead among Democrats for the nomination and ran essentially evenly with Trump among registered voters. And she lagged in enthusiasm, with a low of 32% very enthusiastic in September 2016. Biden is 8 points under that mark now.

Bad as Biden’s enthusiasm score is, we’ve seen worse: As few as 17% of former Republican presidential nominee and Arizona Sen. John McCain’s supporters were very enthusiastic about his candidacy in 2008, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney saw 23% in 2012.

great

Joe, Joe, he's our man
if he can't do it, well maybe he'll die and Klobbo take over or something

is there anything on betting market for odds of Presidential candidate dying mid-campaign

sort of - you can go on predictit and put some money on biden alternatives. if biden dies or is hospitalized you'd probably make some cash

cool!

*takes out $10,000*

now the waiting game

I think it's wiser to hedge against yourself here...it probably only pays a nickle on the dollar but if he *does* keel over you can consider it money well spent

really bummed that Bernie isn't running for President anymore

I dunno how much to read into that low enthusiasm poll. the fact that Biden is not 'exciting' in any way is a big part of why he's winning.

people are very enthusiastic about removing Trump from office and that's what this election is gonna be about
