Fuck statistics. I’ve experienced it on Twitter, which I haven’t from any other candidates’ supporters. So maybe we fuck off with Bernie-splaining?

Very well said. I am taking this process one step at a time. Step 1 is getting rid of Cheeto Benito and neo-fascist ghouls. There is nothing so exceptional about American democracy that means it can’t fall to authoritarianism.

That’s my personal feeling (though my state votes so late, it doesn’t matter what I think).

Here we go again. Blame everyone except low voter turnout among the age groups where Bernie has the widest support...

There’s probably something to that, but I suspect the larger issue is that Democratic women over 35 were Hillary Clinton voters, and they still by and large blame Sanders for 2016.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the way the Bernie bros have been treating women online (particularly supporters of Warren). And Bernie himself not shooting his bros down.

I think the reason this primary depresses me so much is because all of these places that went Bernie in 2016 are going Biden now (or so close it barely matters), meaning in 2016, it was less that they were into Bernie’s policies, and more that they were against Hillary, because Biden and Hillary are pretty similar on…

Though I would agree that he’d lost his best shot at the nomination earlier a few years ago, this time around, he’s lost his best argument in favor of his own electability (i.e., the white working class voters he insisted he had a unique rapport with have basically abandoned him now that he’s not running against that…

See, that’s the thing that people at extreme ends of the spectrum don’t understand - there are some of us (Biden included) who see a middle ground where people can still own firearms while preventing the ones that were designed solely as machines of war from being sold to civilians. I can appreciate why someone may…

Agreed. This is a nothing burger. How is this supposed to make Biden look bad or anti-union or anti-automaker? The guy was looking for an ambush ala ‘Joe the Plumber’ and instead was told he was full of shit. If it was Bernie I’d applaud it. It was Biden and I applaud it. It’s past time these misinformed people out…

>Biden’s campaign was essentially a non-starter until a series of decisive wins in South Carolina and Super Tuesday’s primaries where he emerged as the front runner.

What exactly has this got to do with the unions or unionisation or somehow a gotcha that Biden hates unions (a pro-Bernie routine I’ve seen a couple times in the last few days now)? Some dickhead decided to go full NRA and refreshingly (even if politically motivated) a politician actually told the bloody truth on the…

So basically a 90-year-old NIMBY activist got 20 floors’ worth of new housing units removed on the claim that it would increase sunlight? 

This shouldn’t really be all that surprising. Hillary warned us - no one likes Bernie. Three other Senators in the race and they’ve all declined to endorse him.

Fuck opening up the containers. I always throw that shit out. Sorry, Mother Earth, but no.

I’ve worked in retail, so I’ve seen customers do plenty of novel things with their bodily fluids, but the staff are usually okay.

I’m glad you pointed that out because I was going to, but was sure I was making a daft mistake (like being convinced 2000 was only 10 years ago, which I remain convinced it was).

In case you’ve forgotten, Time’s Person of the Year in 2016 was Donald Trump.

Do you really find Klobuchar’s appeal inexplicable?

I feel like you’re unfairly grouping in Warren supporters with the other guy. I’ve not encountered a single one who has said they aren’t voting. I can’t say the same for the other guys. Warren’s entire brand was pragmatic progressivism and highly regulated capitalism, for which she was crucified by the Berners.
