Time ever runs swift and slow all in one, and never moreso is that true during a US Presidential election year. While a pandemic is happening. While the Syrian war heats back up. While we negotiate with the Taliban. While Israel has its 3rd election in a year with more to come. While Brexit is happening, while...
You get the picture.
The title is a quote from the Joe Biden campaign, which as of 12 days ago was on life support while we assumed that Bernie's persistently largest slice of the pie would lead him to victory over a divided field. A simpler time, for some, a better time. But life comes at you fast, and a Democratic Presidential primary that had 6 serious candidates now has just two, in less time than a Coronavirus quarantine.
A great, great deal has been said about our two presidential contenders and a great deal will be said, in this thread and in others.
I wanted to take my soapbox to remind everyone of what we're up against:
We are all fellow travelers in the fight against racist, aggressively uninformed authoritarianism. If you read an opinion by a poster in this thread that makes you angry, take a step back and direct that anger where it is truly productive.
- Make calls for Bernie
- Toolkit for Biden
- Pick your cause via ActBlue
Any one of these is going to do you more good than getting mired down in an argument around here, I can assure you. You feel strongly, we all do. Let's get this primary resolved and go out to kick some orange ass!

2) This thread isn't a Twitter feed or live TV comment feed, provide context (as in tweet text or a video link/some attempt at transcription, respectively) for what you post.
