For the sake of my sanity I can no longer pay attention to the presidential race. I hope Biden wins, but I can't watch this play out as I will have a heart attack.
This is beautiful, pursuing impeachment was worth it if it means flipping a seat in Maine.
He helped create a monster, and was then killed by the monster. C'est la vie.
Curious about this too. California gotta be a big Bernie stronghold?
As president he is the head of DNC so he would have say over who is on the dnc. And the dnc does go out recruiting for candidates so if you recruit progressives instead of moderates that would make a difference.
Watching Kennedy in the House, he was doing good work on opioid-related bills. But that's about all I know.
Doubtful, Biden will get Florida, Georgia plus, Bloomberg siphoned a lot of Biden's votes tonight and he's probably dropping tomorrow.
This time, at least w/ CA and TX, proportional delegates are actually fucking Bernie. Right now, even if he wins Texas, the margin doesn't seem to be that big so he's not going to gain more than 10-20 delegates over Biden for it. In a winner take all scenario, that would be a whole different story. Same with California, he could win it but have enough dilution of the delegates that he doesn't end up taking a huge haul that he could get if it was winner take all.
For people who don't get why I'm laughing my ass off at the Alabama Senate results-
Tubs is literally running on the platform of "I coached a 13-0 Auburn team that didn't get a fair shot at the national championship".
In Alabama, that gets you the Republican nomination for Senate.
God I wish Saban would run. He would get 90% of the vote, no lie.

He needs to win big. Biden slaughtering VA was a big enough delegates that it might overcome Sanders' California win, unless CA is by 8 more.
Please don't confuse our displeasure for Biden to mean that we'll vote for that orange idiot.
I'll vote for Biden in the GE, doesn't mean I'm gonna do it with a smile.

because trump got elected
pretending we have an even playing field is folly
Folks need to realize that the "they", isn't some vague Democratic establishment. It's actual voters. Actual voters are choosing Biden in the states he's winning and at some point, you have to ask why Sanders was unable to reach those people.
The same is true in the states Sanders won.
The same is true in the states Sanders won.
It's disheartening but I really feel the next decade or so is gonna bring a bigger shift to the left and what people like Sanders, Warren, and AOC champion. We have to ride this mediocrity out. Biden sucks ass but he's still better than Republicans. He's not Bloomberg bad. Put that on a bumper sticker.
What is heartening is the turnout.
If the rhetoric matters to you, so be it, that's fine, but does the mental health of Joe Biden not concern you just as much, if not more?
But it was democratic. They're literally counting votes right now.
It's not democracy only if you win.
Psst Biden spoke of the same exact wealth inequality.
But it's also possible to speak about other topics as well. Apparently something that Bernie isn't aware of?
and biden has a career of making gaffes. it's sort of his brand. my dad thinks it's funny that he makes gaffes like that - to people like him, it makes biden more relatable.
They told me that my vote mattered and it was important to let the process play out, it was Democratic
Your vote does matter. That doesn't mean your guy is definitely gonna win, though.
Him stuttering isn't related to his train of thought evaporating, time and time again, in front of a live camera. I think people can deduce the differences.
This is our savior, y'all. Maybe empires really do end in astounding fashion.
There was a literal "low information voters" poster earlier. Thankfully banned.
Because he's going to end up with just as many delegates or more if/when he wins Texas and California by decent margins? And going 1 on 1 with Biden gives Bernie a much better chance imo
I genuinely want your optimism at this moment... thats not me being snarky. I'm legit depressed at the moment.
I'm looking at the doom and gloom in this thread, then looking at the real world and seeing voters were enthusiastic to vote for Biden. He is winning new first time voters. Turnout is higher than 2008 and 2016. I think folks are living in a bubble. I didn't think this would happen either, yet here we are. If Biden is the nominee, I think he got this.
so are you under the impression that your vote doesn't matter unless your preferred presidential candidate wins the nomination?They told me that my vote mattered and it was important to let the process play out, it was Democratic
TX is tight enough that it likely won't help Bernie much.
It ain't about just Sanders. He's obviously not the future of progressivism. The long time senator of turbo white Vermont was not speaking to any other demographic of America from any place that wasn't political ideology through the lens of classism.
That's why he's not a good leader - people only projected those qualities on to him. But he is the spark for the movement, and there is hope in grassroots coalition building, but it will not happen over night. This is generational work here.
I mean yeah, Citizen's United sucks and should be repealed.
Full disclosure I did originally write "Whatever it takes to win Tennessee..." but then thought, "eh, they've had a tough day" and swapped in those other states ...........
What is this post?They told me that my vote mattered and it was important to let the process play out, it was Democratic
Bloomberg spent more money on a failed president campaign than Trump has ever had in his life.
I assume you're just not counting Trump.
But have you forgotten George W Bush? "Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."
Apparently idiots is what Americans prefer to vote in as president.
