Sounds like he was completely wasted, and ranting to a friend after being the victim of physical abuse. He definitely has substance abuse issues, which he needs to address.

Good for Bernie! The dominant Nevada win is what the candidates were hoping to get out of Iowa. The number of delegates is irrelevant, rather the margin of victory that gives a wave that you can ride for a while.

It’s kind of astonishing to me, after 2016 and all the ways it should have demonstrated that political elites are out of touch with the American electorate, something like 95% of people paid to talk about politics have no idea what they are talking about, and are completely unable to place anything about the current…

Union rank and file have actually come out in support of Bernie but okay. 

Bloomberg was fine to support us outside the presidential election. Period. His presence is fucking the whole race up; he knows that. He’s just so rich he doesn’t care.

Bernie is gonna end up with the most votes and most delegates.

They are totally going to try and fuck him at a brokered convention if he doesn’t get to the majority before the convention starts, and it would probably end the Democratic party as we know it. It would certainly gift the presidency back to the current…

Bloomberg does have to seriously answer questions about his comments on why he thinks redlining is a good thing and why he thinks most black and Latino young men are criminals. But, what you said applies to all candidates — that is why I was disappointed when Warren took the ancestry test and shared the results.

Just to add, it’s even more insidious than ad-buys, which work alarmingly well on their own. He’s affecting local elections around the country by poaching from talented campaigns, including grass roots.

I live in a swing state and I will absolutely not vote for this fuck in a general election. As a frothing lefty, I’ll admit that the “no difference between the parties” line can sometimes be a bit hyperbolic, but Bloomberg truly is as bad as Trump — worse, even, because he’s actually competent.

This explanation could be shortened to “I was only thinking about who could win my tiny, mostly rural, mostly white state and not who can win a national election”.

I mean, if you have a production company and the only movie directed by a woman under that umbrella is one you yourself directed, you’re not exactly helping the cause.

It’s a primary - Obama only got 36% of New Hampshire in 2008, and that was with only three major candidates on the ticket.

Or that Liz Warren used to be a registered Republican, right? 

And, during that speech, he praises both the Patriot act and the illegal spying on of innocent Muslims. 

Regardless of her (justified) contempt for Buttigieg, Klobuchar seems to have staked out a position in this primary as the person who says “no”, which is about as inspiring, if not less, than Buttigieg’s empty, focus-grouped-Obama Live-Laugh-Love business-consultant rhetoric.

Klobuchar has become a kind of Hillary Clinton (post 2016) type of candidate. Her entire persona from the start has been that of a mother who’s losing her patience with the kids and who is also desperate to make sure everybody knows that she’s the only person in the room who is telling you the truth.

I like anyone who clowns on mayo Pete but she’s still a hard no for me in the primaries.

I think Klobuchar’s platform was too overtly framed as a response to the leftward swing of the party. Too much of her shtick has been about—or has been too easy to frame as her trying to throw cold water on progressive priorities. I think Warren’s line about “why run for President just to tell everybody what we can’t…

I’m in my mid-30s, and this campaign is the very first political campaign I’m volunteering for. There are a lot of Sanders’ policy positions I like, but at the end of it all I think I chose to join up because I have a good job, good healthcare, and a life generally free from anxiety and precariousness and it’d just be…

It feels wild to have some hope but here I am, tearing up and having hope. The idea of everyone in my family being insured, the disability rights plan...fuck I did not want to be this invested because the disappointment is so soul crushing.
