I like Joe. I really do. That's not my argument I'm making. My argument is that Bernie offered things people need currently, and people voted against it.
Your argument was that Biden has a penis.
See the difference?

Yes. Bernie won't do better than in many states that Joe is attractive in.
So like ... what happens on either side of the candidate gets taken out by COVID. I mean that seriously. I guess Pence would be the candidate but what about Biden?
I don't know if Bush 2 is this incompetent. There were enough adults around him.... I definitely think they were so hyped up and paranoid we would have had more tests
if it happens after biden is the official nominee, whichever VP he picks would likely run id imagine
I mean part of the reason is that the asshole bragged a lot about how it was him being in charge for the stock to be where it was (even just four days ago he bragged about how it had the biggest rise) so you can't blame people for shitting on him
This right here. On top of everyone being pissed at the current situation, all the footage of Trump downplaying the virus will be heavy-duty ammunition for political attack ads. Trump losing the election is not a sure thing, but this virus sure as hell is not helping him.
Definitely, the way Trump completely gutted the government when he entered office left everyone else vulnerable to a crisis exactly like this.
When people were saying during the 2016 election that we needed a "steady hand at the wheel" in case of a big crisis they were talking exactly about something like this. No one could have predicted something like this actually happening but that's why there were fail-safes and safety nets in place just in case.
If it happens after the party conventions, the vice presidential nominee would become the candidate, almost certainly.
Before? That would be chaotic in the extreme, at least in the case of the Democrats. Effectively the convention delegates would be required to nominate Joe Biden on the first ballot, but would then effectively have free rein to pick whoever they wanted as his replacement.
It starts off good, but then kinda plateaus.
Still enjoyed the effort.
I know. They thought racism is only towards blacks and latinos, but the last two months all Asian people outside of Asia have faced racism, me included. If that isn't a wake up call, then all hope are lost.
Nope. Asian people are racist against other Asian people, so when Trump is boarding this Chinese hate train a lot of old school conservative Asians are all for it. Including my Indonesian father.
I'm guessing you're not Asian?
I mean, I'm glad that the OC at least turned blue, so as a whole, Asians do vote blue.
Not all, but most.
This is partially true, too.
If all our 401Ks are fucked, he's out. I'm so excited about that.
I mean, it's terrible, but maybe we can socialize some shit. Come on dems, let's do this 2020!

Have you seen Asian Americans in your own family or friends turn on Trump?
Cause I sure as hell haven't.
Well, his main drawn for the masses was the economy being great. Which has nothing to do with him, but he gladly took credit every chance he got. Now the economy is shit, so why would people vote for him again (other than the obvious..)? People are going to trust the guy with a shit load of failed business ventures and bankruptcies to bring it back?
Actually Obama's team did predict this pandemic scenario and presented it to the Trump members. You could imagine how that meeting went and who is actually still working in the White House:
Before Trump’s inauguration, a warning: ‘The worst influenza pandemic since 1918’
In a tabletop exercise days before an untested new president took power, officials briefed the incoming administration on a scenario remarkably like the one he faces now.

Maybe whoever the second place in delegates during the primary, I think.
We actually had plenty of warnings from experts. But the topic of viruses are boring until it hits the fan.
The other thing that experts are giving us plenty of warnings is our infrastructure all decaying like crazy. Infrastructure week jokes aside, this is actually a real problem.
I mean, they trusted him the first time around and those failed business ventures and bankruptcies were already well established facts, not something that happened after he won.
That's a different thing. Most people outside NY didn't know a thing about Trump other than him being the famous Apprentice "billionaire" real estate guy. Later the non-establishment "tell it like it is" anti-Hillary. Him being a shit businessman doesn't really matter in terms of voting for the Presidency.
This specifically is like trusting a serial arsonist with a can of gas and a lighter.. then being surprised he burned your house down. People expecting a shitty businessman to be great at bringing back the economy are fooling themselves.
I'm feeling economically anxious again. If only there were another bankrupt reality TV show host with a rape history who could save us in these trying times.
Yes because he makes them feel like they're superior to minorities, and will bring back the "good ol days"
Again, that's why I wrote "(other than the obvious..)" in the initial post. I know why those people would vote for him, but I'm talking about people specifically voting for him because they expect him to be able to fix the economy..
if you claim the gains, after doing almost nothing, then you also have to claim the loss.
Your Indonesian father doesn't care about all his anti Muslim stuff?
This whole time, I wish SOMEONE would have asked him "when you say you're "Making America Great Again", when exactly do you THINK America was great and when do you think it stopped being great?"
Well, now we have our answers. "Make American Great Depression Again".
Many of them think they that are 'one of the good ones'. I wish I was kidding.
I didn't realize this was a thing in southeast Asian communities. At least in the Arab, African American, and South Asian communities, fuck Trump is pretty standard.
I'm really really doing it.
I think Biden is a dusty old mess. I wish he hadn't run. Bernie is almost the same age and had a heart attack a couple of months ago and is a "socialist "
Anyone who tells you one of these guys is a can't miss no brainer most electable candidate is crazy.
but as i specifically pointed out, his voters are aligning with polling.
I prefer Bernie's policy - I'm an immigrant from a poor and once working class unemployed mining family from Northern Europe— but I suspect it's impossible to pass Bernie's ideas in the current climate so I voted for Elizabeth Warren by mail before she dropped out and before Biden's surge. I also think Bernie us untested in a GE for oppo or sticky attacks - but that could be better or worse than Biden. I don't know what they've got or what they plan to invent.
I do know the eventual candidate 100% needs African Americans to vote for and support him. That's about the only solid stat I can point to.
And Al Gore won both the popular and electoral college votes. The Supreme Court interfered with that result.
One day I expect we'll see similar data about Clinton. But you're yelling at a cloud. I'm simply stating what happened. You're the one applying judgment of that happenstance.
