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

judging by his musical tastes, no

anger is an energy, but like _performative_ energy is a synergy amirite. focus group updated lydon, he's good with it.

lol _performative_ anger. even my shit jokes, i blow them

Sic’s type of post conveys how angry he is about the quote, but obscures the quote itself.

This is bad for discourse, it implicitly privileges feelings over facts.

Feelings don’t care about your facts Shakey

It’s begging the question is what it is

Shakes, you support voting in person next week? Great take.

tee hee silby

caveated tee hee Hunter

Shakey some people complain about tweets being embedded instead of linked, whaddaya gonna do

I thought it would be another couple of years before Shakes went full Ben Shapiro.

The point is no one should be voting in person anywhere in the US in the next 2-3 months. The fucking end.

Funny -- I wouldn't even say this about certain angry hot takes on this thread.

milo’s a troll on politics threads, so

PBKRs post are jokes, right?

milo’s not a troll!

Maybe I missed something. Is Biden not advocating for in person voting?

I was complaining about Biden being misrepresented. I stated no other position.

Everyone who's not a member of the You're Not Posting Right gang is a troll, obviously.

"We can do both" = we can vote in person. How can this be interpreted any other way?

It's not my fault he's doing the facts vs feelings bit. Attack helicopter jokes are right around the corner once Boomer Brain sets in.

this thread is a fucking SUV that's on fire in the breakdown lane and half of you are insisting the vehicle is still drivable

for instance I like how Shakey merely objected to the extreme editorializing of the Biden quote being cited and now he's being accused of being Ben Shapiro and being 100% in support of people voting in person.

just...shut the fuck up.

the dumb intentionally misreading of the points made by posters simply because you "don't like them" and seeing everything as fucking binary like you're a neo-conservative in 2003 is really fucking annoying.

Ok, good luck voting on Tuesday, I'm done.

bye

Neanderthal otm

It’s embarrassing how transparently fallacious some of you chumps are

Give the non-American a chance to awaken in a few hours.

*the non-American contingent, that is

Is this what happens on day 23

or whatever it is, depending

on the 23rd day, Jesus rose from the dead, saw it wasn't lit, went back to Hell

Give the non-American contingent a chance to awaken in a few hours.

wow rude

Didn't have you in mind at all, Simes.

those slothful Canadian layabouts

oh I know I was just being a dick

actually on some of these weird WFH days I *have* been asleep around this time

that’s definitely what he said

p much, Hall of Fame troll

💨

would prefer it if ILX posters would just quote things directly instead of constantly warping everything to reflect their oh-so-hot takes. the rest of the internet is already full of bad faith takes and performative anger.

No.

I agree with shakey that we should use direct quotes, I also agree with everyone that joe biden sucks

So moved.

It's true, Shakey is the only pure soul in this world

excluding the Rachael Ray restraining order, obv

I don’t mind people not using quotes if they’re actually good at being funny

i can't stop thinking about Biden implicitly blaming universal healthcare for italy's coronavirus woes. that is some cynical, evil shit on par with anything Mitch McConnell could muster. fuck him.

and i've seen it posited on this board (can't remember the thread) that it's "electorally unpopular"(?), can't remember the thread. that might actually be the case, but i think some citations are needed. also, i wonder how this certitude will stand up to unemployment reaching into the teens, or even higher.

i guess the one good thing for both parties is that when Biden absolutely eats shit in November, the question of how 'electorally unpopular' M4A is will remain a mystery.

I'm not a Biden fan, but the assumption that he'll be crushed in November seems really weird to me.

no one knows what's going to happen in November. No one knows what's going to happen next week even.

i think it's safe to predict that we won't have historically low levels of unemployment in nov

he'll be crushed because we didn't choose the guy who consistently polls much worse than him vs donald trump and couldn't garner more than 35% of support from the democratic party

ok let's assume Biden wins. point stands.

the shift to concern troll caring about biden's electability among the broz happened only after sanders lost any chance of winning the nomination, for pretty logical reasons

disagree i think they've been making that case against biden the whole primary
