Too much focus on the *superdelegates* and too little on the people who are *regular* (pledged) delegates. They're also free agents, technically even on the first ballot (the pledge isn't legally binding) but certainly as a matter of practice on the 2nd and subsequent ballots.
Nate Silver agrees that delegates are not bound on the first ballot.

Dems also need to make the case that under M4A everyone can get tested and get vaccinated, while under Trump only those who can afford it can get it.Not just stupid, irresponsible. Trump is going minister of truth on something that absolutely NEEDs full transparency no matter the detrimental effect on the economy. Candidates need to make it clear this isn't normal, and its dangerous and dare anyone to say differently.
About that. It'll be a talking point but the question is what makes it aboard too.
Hm? How is it weird? If anything it's a weird assumption to take for granted that Warren would shift to Sanders support. Sanders and Warren haven't been on the same page since her accusation about Sanders' alleged sexist comment.It's really weird speculation given the two of them are pretty aligned Policy wise and they have gotten along famously, historically. For you to say that is just random.
NEW: Fox News poll shows
Sanders 31% (+8)
Biden 18% (-8)
Bloomberg 16% (+6)
Buttigieg 12% (+5)
Warren 10% (-4)
Klobuchar 5% (+2)
Feb. 23-26, 2020 MOE ± 4%
Considering the takes after the election that's not really a surprise. I could have told you that'd be the likely outcome a day after the election.Out of the large, diverse group of canditates we had at the start of this cycle, Dems really decided to just choose between the 3 oldest white men. Lol

I think Brexit is mostly priced in at this point. It's going to suck for the UK, but it seems likely to be a minor blip for everybody else.This cononavirus/stock market combo is actually not being looked at deep enough.
This isn't just another "whoops week". This good be a lasting wound, and can be compounded by
1. Terrible leadership
2.China and it's economic bomb waiting to go off
3. Brexit
If all three combine...
She didn't slip away. She got booted off the stage.Warren is the best candidate and America's sexism is letting her slip away.
Remember only 10% of Twitter users are actively posting about politics in the US. We're listening to an extremely loud minority of people on platforms like that.
Yep. She would've still lost against Hillary but she'd be the frontrunner now.Agreed.
I do wonder if 2016 was actually more her year. Would have at least been interesting.
*Biden picks Kamala Harris for his VP.
Big brained Twitter individual: "OMG she sucks! No charisma Copmala!"
*Bernie picks Kamala Harris for VP.
Galaxy brained individual: "Wow such an intellectual pick that covers Bernie's various weaknesses! I always knew she was VP material!"
One, sure, (Biden) I could see leading early on. Two, maybe. But 3!? Bloomberg parachutes in after missing like 6 debates and quickly glides past two highly qualified women senators to 3rd place, below the two other septuagenarians. I underestimated just how much people really wanted a strong white daddy.Considering the takes after the election that's not really a surprise. I could have told you that'd be the likely outcome a day after the election.
The biggest concern I have at this point is how Florida Man will inevitably lash out looking for someone to blame. We already seeing problems with people avoiding or accosting people from China or Asian descent in places around the world. I am hoping democratic contenders and supporters are ready to protect and redirect the blame back at Florida Man, they are going to need the protection because for most if not all it won't be any of their fault and are as much if not more victims of this virus. This attack is going to becoming so we best prepare for the counter now.
Totally agree.Dems are stupid if they don't make the whole CDC/Corona fiasco a major talking point
i mean we only had Hillary as a choice just recently and neoliberals couldn't get off their ass to rally around herEconomist you're so dreamy. Neoliberals have both the dominant mindshare among the electorate and no real choice in the race.
California is up to 33 confirmed cases and 8400 under observation.

That's a loss to our community, but I really can't blame you.But actually I think I'm mostly just gonna stick to Discord and lurking here as opposed to being a super regular poster.
And less than 500 kits to test people.California is up to 33 confirmed cases and 8400 under observation.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that 33 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and the state is currently monitoring at least 8,400 others —a day after U.S. health officials confirmed the first possible community transmission of the coronavirus in a Solano County resident."This is a fluid situation right now and I want to emphaize the risk to the American public remains low," said Dr. Sonia Y. Angell, California Department of Public Health Director and State Health Officer during a press conference. "There have been a limited number of confirmed cases to date."The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn't know exactly how the new California patient, who's receiving medical care in Sacramento County, contracted the virus. The patient didn't have a relevant travel history or exposure to another patient with the virus, the CDC said Wednesday.
