2020 Democratic presidential primary

I wouldn’t call sterilers sociopaths though, merely deliriously pessimistic and inexplicably selfish

don't act like you're the one generally called upon to defend yourself

ilxors failing to understand reproduction on an existential level continues to be one of ilx's best running gags

Yeah all the persecution for not having kids must be rough, but your consolation is not having to be responsible for another human life. Can we go back to talking about the primary?

I mean it's a gag but also I don't understand it

it's only my second week at this job I don't have a ton of tasks yet

it's all about the birds and the bees

Bees over babies

Which candidates are in favor of making reproduction a function of the state is my question, I’m voting for them

lxors failing to understand reproduction on an existential level

These arguments don't do much to counter sic's sociopath accusation.

Apparently WFP gave the leadership more of a say in the endorsement this time

What kind of irresponsible, deranged animals refuse to turn around 200,000 years of evolutionary impulse on a dime?

“Which candidates are in favor of making reproduction a function of the state is my question, I’m voting for them”

Republicans

200,000 only??

when we really ripened up

What kind of irresponsible, deranged animals refuse to turn around 200,000 years of evolutionary impulse on a dime?

there were only 200 years of industrial damage to the biosphere at that point and ppl refused to turn that around either

Horny sapiens

Allow me to apologize for having a sub-replacement number of offspring

WFP isn't really a party

having a child in my house wdnt be a party either

you should have it in the hospital, where it's sterile

How's the baby one day gonna have babies if it's sterile?

so it's come to megadeth lyrics now i see

hey if everyone in the world stopped having kids in 1980 think of all the soundcloud rap we'd have missed out on

harris losing to yang in her home state. time to go.

time to go.

um. it's September 2019. she should continue until some actual votes get cast or else she runs out of money or the will to continue. it's not like she's doing anyone any harm by staying in.

tbh the more candidates who drop out of the race the better

it's not like she's doing anyone any harm by staying in.

I think she should stay in, but running for president does seem to require a certain amount of time and energy (and fundraising), and she does currently hold a pretty important job.

she does currently hold a pretty important job.

not if Mitch McConnell has any say in it

i don't actually think she'll drop out. it would be unusual. and i guess i'd rather she picks up the nom than buttigieg if biden completely loses control of his dentures *and* the DNC somehow makes it impossible for one the two (2) good candidates to win.

Because horserace.

trendlines there seem legit

v curious about the 1 percent of Democratic primary voters who don't know Joe Biden's name

v curious about the 1 percent of Democratic primary voters who don't know Joe Biden's name

"Horse race" shit, but I didn't think this possible:

(CNN)A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll out Tuesday finds former Vice President Joe Biden leads the field in the first national polling after last week's Democratic presidential debate, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has risen to hold second place on her own.

The new polling comes after the debate brought to the fore a slew of new policy platforms for candidates to address, including gun policy and race relations, and continued the debate about the future of American health care.

The poll, fielded by phone from Sept. 13-16 and with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.36 percentage points for results among Democratic primary voters, showed Biden with 31% and Warren with 25%. The poll has Warren up 7 points since early July, the last time NBC and the Wall Street Journal released a poll, and is another survey showing Warren's support has grown in recent months.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont was at 14%, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 7% and Sen. Kamala Harris of California at 5%. Businessman Andrew Yang clocked in at 4%, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota at 2% and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey at 2%. All the rest of the tested field landed at 1% or less.

can’t tell if you mean Biden holding or Warren rising

That it went from 1% to 2% to 1% is particularly funny.

dems getting comfortable smh

a margin of error of plus or minus 4.36 percentage points !!!

this, plus that it is a national poll, while presidential elections are run as a set of very state-specific elections, renders this poll of only the broadest, vaguest, most general sort of value.

crowd probably afraid of flying objects

Why is she still in the race?

Morning Joe likes her.

Think of all the losers in the past who have hung on into at least the first few months of primaries. Not sure why anyone would drop out now unless they're out of money.

dare you to read it

Elizabeth Warren is on a trajectory to win the Democratic presidential nomination. But how electable is she? @jonathanchait writes https://t.co/Jkr7SbEzEx

Guess the Author

Bernie, of course, is not electable either because Pundit Fatigue + Hatred of Real Dem Socialism

lol at "now-likely"

guess the DNC made some calls

Biden stroke scheduled for Nov. 19 iirc

I think Warren’s upward momentum is slowing down a bit

not going to sweat a second derivative in September tho
