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

at the root of most situations: a would-be tough guy obsessed with his cocksmanship.

god that's the last thing I'm obsessed with

much more obsessed with dying at any rate

I decided to do a jigsaw puzzle tonight!

Did I miss anything?

Not widely known that this is about posting

who will be living in the White House come January 25, 2021. Cuz it won't be anyone but Biden or Trump, unless one of them dies.

While this is true, there is a slim but maybe growing possibility that Biden is unable to go forward and may need to be replaced, if for any reason at some point either his mental or physical health is discovered to be an issue in any way. Unlikely? sure, but it may be a possibility

I read this great Mishima story about a guy committing seppuku, distressingly erotic, seems cool

Patriotism is one of the all-time great short stories.

I was going to post the (excellent) short film but I don't wish to feed silby's current state - hope you feel more positive toward life and reach out to the folks you like best, silby.

guilty wtf lol's @ Aimless pvmnic telling someone to "drink raw sewage" (?)

fellas we're only a few weeks into this thing!

anyway Silby I hope you did not do that and today goes better

is the presumptive Democratic nominee weighing in on this WI situation or nah

he's actually in a meeting with tom friedman right now, i believe

they're talking about the 1950s

i am actually on board with the idea of not shitting on joe biden all the time, given that he is what we have.

but goddammit, joe is asking for people to shit in his mouth.

What do Fig Newtons and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have in common? Listen to this preview of this week's podcast to find out — and then check out the full episode at https://t.co/t11Fa0CorE or wherever you get your podcasts. pic.twitter.com/AfL018UA4h

he's gonna fucking lose if he doesn't figure out to be a normal human being. i blame whatever advisors are telling him this is a good idea. you can't blame an old-timer for not really understanding what a podcast is. you might fault him for not understanding that this might not be the best time to roll out a podcast episode by hyping it up with a fig newton + PBJ trivia teaser. but someone he has hired to guide him, SOMEONE, must know this is idiotic

the worst since Humphrey? Or worse than HH?

"I found out John Kerry has the same addiction - "peanut butter and jelly sandwiches"

smh

Is this senior citizen outreach?

Gotta pick up that important “senior citizens who are swing voters and actively listen to podcasts” segment

I would contributed to a GoFundMe to get that guy a fucking teleprompter, and an assistant with a cattle prod who will jab him every time he departs from the script in a folksy manner

jeez

do you think operating less than a third of the usual number of polling places is going to a) increase or b) decrease the number of voters at each Wisconsin location

welp

Milwaukee will have five polling places tomorrow, instead of 180. Five! My mom, who's been waiting for her absentee ballot for ~a month, won't get to vote.

JOE BIDEN: “We cannot let this, we’ve never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around, 16, we have never, never let our democracy sakes second fiddle, way they, we can both have a democracy and ... correct the public health.” pic.twitter.com/ufXFh5cAtY

shocking decision to move ahead with this

have you been noticing WI politics lately, treesh? they're in the full grasp of aggressively ultra-conservative nincompoops.

Biden 2020: If Andy Rooney Had Lived

shocking decision to move ahead with this

Shocking without being surprising.

have you been noticing WI politics lately, treesh? they're in the full grasp of aggressively ultra-conservative nincompoops.

Worth noting that Democrats swept every statewide election in 2018 but the GOP leaders in the gerrymandered state legislature are doing everything they can to keep the state from being governed, including keeping measures that might have bipartisan support from the whole legislature (like postponing in-person voting) from being voted on.

bernie's out

shall we rehash our greatest hits

RIP

RIP

:(

Cue the switch from arguing about whether he should drop out to arguing about why he shouldn't have, I can't wait.

Bernie Sanders is a fucking hero. Let’s come together and beat this guy.

— Andrew Yang🧢 (@AndrewYang) April 8, 2020

good luck usa, congrats to the Tories, etc

violently angry at being asked to vote for the lesser of two rapists

It’s offensive

Quite a lot of people able to overlook that. Sorry Bernie.

hardly the first time two rapists were running against each other for President

(although I don't think the rape accusation against Biden is remotely credible tbh)

We all think things

Some do have more trouble, it's true.

In this economy???

This thread should be awesome for the next several hours

I'd been slowly moving towards Biden stepping aside the past few weeks. Basically, I hope someone takes him aside this morning and says, "Okay, fuckhead--you're the nominee, now get it together."
