Thanks for letting me know. I apologize for using that word - it has become so ingrained in general discourse that it didn't cross my mind to look further into the implications.

Yes, that's what I wanted you to take away from my reply. Not the part about misusing and diluting a medical term for lulz, but why you don't understand why calling a woman a snake because she dared to run against Bernie is outrageous.
This is quite honestly a great play. Their entire strategy is to surpress the vote. So you start that messaging early. Don't think it was by design he tweeted this, but this is a legit political strategy at play.
Because it is an issue in the campaign and thus should be discussed. I'm seeing Warren fans all over Twitter saying how Bernie fans have treated her is affecting how they'll vote when she drops.
ooo shit, you're right. i just assumed it dem ballots sent in. my mistake. that likely means 25% already in, at best, ya? so a potential 75% of 9% still out there. 25 % of that is closer to 1.5-2% best case scenario. 1% would be more realistic considering.
Nah. The vast majority of voters aren't going to give a shit about this. It's a purely twitter bubble story.
So I assume you're opposed to endorsements, then? Such as Orb Queen endorsing Bernie and Deblasio endorsing Bernie?
Huh, this is the first thing on record that Buttigieg has ever done to help black folks.
Lawd PLEASE don't put this dude in charge of HUD if you do become POTUS, Biden. Otherwise, glad you both cut a deal.
I do have to hand it to Pete, he sees no viability and dropped to help his overall cause, which is to keep everything as moderate as possible. I would have expected this from Warren as well, but she's going in a completely alternate direction.
Twitter does not reflect reality at all my guy.

it's cynical and disgusting, not "great". The fact that it can work is disturbing. It's what dictators do.
I appreciate you apologizing. Thank you.
(and to everyone who responded (not you specifically, Vector), please use "she' when refering to me. Thanks.)

It's definitely their best play. Biden will be a super weak nominee by the end of the convention.
Elizabeth Warren @ewarrenThank you, @PeteButtigieg. I know you'll continue giving back and serving our country for many years to come.

...... From a foresight level of Bernie gets removed he is going to run on this though. It's easy visuals. Dems coalesced to take the nomination from Pete.
I wish it was just a one on one right now. This lastest news helps Warren stay in all the way to the convention and I fear no one will be happy with the candidate and each will have a different claim to be the candidate. Bernie will have prob won the most states and maybe popular vote, but be behind in delegates to Biden. And Warren will say she's a comprise to both. I think Bloomberg will be a non factor. Gonna be a mess at leas Hillary won dominantly
Biden has a very good shot at an outright majority before the convention with a Pete endorsement.
Sanders does not.
Trump's goons have a playbook for whoever is leading. Notice the burisma stuff dried up this past month even though the corruption angle stuck in some ways. Even the whiff of opportunity and Scavino tweets out some Bernie victim garbage from the can. They're always playing all sides against each other. I want this nightmare to end so badly. If the Dems win, I might get a 270 tattoo.
the many people who support them who wouldn't agree on anything...... at all....... but fuck Trump
Pete's aides taking shots at Bernie on the way out.
This is just not true. How are you arriving at this? Lmfao.
If they're not willing to vote for the only other progressive candidate because of what some jerks on Twitter said about her, then they shouldn't be calling themselves progressives.
Good for Pete, I think that was a wise decision.
Warren getting that contested convention nod~

^that is why I think the whole "we'll come together in the end" narrative might be a lot of hype.....
Can we take a moment here to appreciate Hillary. Cause she may not have been "likable" but she knew how to herd the cats of the Democratic Party. She would have won too if not for Comey and Russia but that is another conversation.
I think there's room but the timing would be weird--the current political landscape seems likely to turn on a hypothetical progressive that accepts a VP spot with Biden while Bernie is still in the race, as betraying the cause. Biden either needs enough of a delegate lead to make his nom inevitable, or anyone he taps for 'unity' risks being tainted as a moderate not sticking to their ideals. I still have no idea who Bernie taps in any scenario so.
He absolutely doesn't. Biden has an even smaller chance of getting a majority than Bernie.
no I don't think people doing well should drop out to give all their votes to another candidate just to stop a different one. Let people vote their preferences. I'm not for endorsements because it puts a finger on the scale.
I only see two ends to this:
1) Bernie wins the nomination (either majority or contested). I think this is the best look Democrats would have for the general.
2) Biden wins a contested convention. If he enters the convention without the plurality, he will not win the general.

Sanders benefits from a divided field that came at Biden's expense.
Pete is done, steyer is done, Amy is done after Tuesday, Warren WANTS to stay in but probably doesn't have the funds.
With the moderate side of the field contracting this early, plus pete almost certainly endorsing Biden has an easy path to a majority.
The only question is what Bloomberg does. With a strong Biden i don't see him continuing to blow hundreds of millions on a no hope campaign.
In any normal cycle I'd say a unity ticket doesn't do much bc the candidates usually overlap heavily and the opponent isn't enough to bring folks together anyway. This isn't a normal cycle and you could make a case that the candidates are complementary (weak where the other is strong) and the opponent is literally the worst president in our history, so maybe there's a chance.
Pete doesn't have that kind of juice. Honestly Warren probably is the only one with that kind of pull and we got to see how she does in MA before I call her 100% dead in the water.

Lol
(also I didn't realize Bloom was so old)
Biden is not getting the majority. He's going to win on a contested convention plurality and then we'll see what Bernie or Bust really looks like. Lmao.
