2020 US Election (Part One)

Biden needs the black voters in the party to keep his candidacy alive since Mayor Pete has been Joel Osteening his way towards being the anitbernie.

Yeah that much is clear. But surely there is a better way to do this...

 

[Arwon]

Biden can't really go him for the substantive reasons to go him (shilling for donors, swinging to the right and abandoning progressive stuff he said before, being a rat faced pro war spook whose sole consuming ambition is power for power's sake who will say and do anything, etc) because it undermines what Biden represents too, I guess.

 

[Bugfatty300]

Don't people realize how electable he is?

Buttigieg and Biden both suck, for a myriad of reasons, both being delusional neoliberals.

 

[Bugfatty300]

I wouldn't even call Biden neoliberal. He's just plain conservative.

Well, I’m using the royal “Biden.”

I’m not even sure he wants to be running, but the people under him on the campaign gravy train will be SOL if they surrender now.

Biden rose infinitely form a former shaky zero to a record high 3/10 in my estimation after he put his arm around Bernie in the NH debate when Sanders was asked about Hillary’s claims that no one liked him or wanted to work with him in DC. There is a good guy in that Biden shell somewhere, it’s just eroded and withered after many years of being weak on issues at the top of the corporate useless party.

 

[ThERat]

My guess now is that Buttigieg will have some temporary high until the non white people show him the fiddle finger. With others dropping from the race too, I guess a Bernie - Bloomberg endgame

We are in the times where the real enemy is not a foreign power but the American government itself. Somehow, the founding fathers' worst nightmare just came to life.

What you are seeing now was the explicit goal of the men who designed our system of government. Just read Federalist Paper #10. The purpose of the US government is to divide the public so that the wealth of the nation may rule.

Piet supporter will be "voter protection director" in Nevada. No conflict of interest there either...
It is nice that she erased her "working history" from Linkedin as well - no one will know now.

I'm actually of the mind that Sanders will ultimately lose the nomination fair and square; I just don't think his ideas resonate with most Americans and even within most of the Democratic base, but all the Democrats' actions almost make it look like they want people to think that there's some conspiracy to steal the election from him. The hot caucus mess in Iowa and now this? Wyle E. Coyote with a box of TNT couldn't bungle it this badly.

They wouldn't need to sabotage and conspire if he wasn't a winner.

 

[amadeus]

I don’t think they are conspiring, I just think they’re doing a terrible job at avoiding that exact appearance.

^Reminds me of the time I was trying to avoid appearing to be some kind of thief, and robbed five banks.

My voting address is California, which has advanced its primary date to Super Tuesday. This means I have to send my mail-in ballot in NOW. I am still befuddled as to whom to vote for.

I am voting for Andrew Yang, mainly because of his "Freedom Dividend," i.e. giving $!,000/month to every adult American. IMHO, it's the best proposal I've seen to close the gap between rich and poor. [I also like his MATH hat--Make Americans Think Harder ]

 

[Commodore]

Yang seems like an alright dude, but his campaign is on the ropes right now. He may be done after New Hampshire.

 

[luiz]

Yeah he might be the smartest guy in the primary, though UBI is a terrible idea.

Does the supposed bungling actually matter? The Bernie supporters will invariably claim "stole the nomination" basically no matter what.

Probably so.

Constantly for over four years. That doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Unless… unless they are completely incompetent to the point of politically losing not only the last election but also the muller investigation and the impeachment to none other than Donald J. Trump. Either way you, the Donald and your shared fear of a more equal and fair society wins. Don’t be too surprised when more and more people object to this crap and vote for Bernie Sanders either way.
