Current Affairs 2020 Democratic Primary

Bernie is in great shape. He will get the delegates.. he didn’t win TX or CA in 16 but will this time. He didn’t win CO or UT either but won then he’s taken over mid and west and good showing in NE. Joe has the east/southeast .. not enough to win.

In 2016, sure the DNC didn't want him but Bernie never had a chance. Hillary won the votes. After today he still does but its a very slim chance. He needs Warren's support and while Warren would probably rather support Bernie, she is still a senator and will probably endorse the one who is going to win. Meanwhile the rest are lining up under Biden.

Weird way to get to what was the most likely two-horse race when we started, but here we are.

For anything much more insightful than that or for anything resembling prognostication, we need final totals so we can ascertain delegate counts. In particular, Bloomberg's delegate count has the potential to matter a lot by making an outright majority harder for others to earn.

Sanders lost Oklahoma and Minnesota from 2016 though

Sanders won both of those states v Clinton in 2016. Handily.

And he's going to lose Texas tonight.

America slowly taking back the lead in the "stupidest country with a red white and blue flag" tonight

What will Warren say to the progressive base if Sanders ends up losing super tight Texas and California?

So far DNC's/Obama's last minute designation worked so well for Biden. Great night for him. Depressed morning for me I guess. Let me have a breakfast and forget all about it, will check the news in the afternoon

We really need to make voting easier, no excuse for these delays.

Warren kneecapping Sanders' bid was expected.

Biden isn't inspiring and tbh he strikes me as senile and creepy AF, but a 7-2 CONSERVATIVE SCOTUS is a real possibility if Trump gets re-elected. I think he probably will anyway, tbh. Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer can't go on forever.

Roe v Wade. Brown v Board of Education. Engel v Vilate. Lawrence v Texas. ppObergefell v Hodges.


Not to mention US v Nixon, that limits executive privilege. Because you can be sure with a conservative majority like that, they will try and might well succeed.

Whether Sanders or Biden get the nomination, just put aside your personal feelings about the candidate and vote for them.

 

[Number_25]

Can't wait to see dementia Joe face up against Trump.

Bloodbath.

woah, that's game over for Progressives innit? Biden will have the nom.

how can Dems vote for this guy, he is definitely senile

(0:38 onwards)

Fair play to Biden for pulling that one out. Two dementia patients rambling at each other come the election, great times

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Nice to see the predicted toxicity from the usual suspects in here is on full display.

What's the African-American love for Biden about? Surely it's not as simple as him being Obama's VP? Does he have a particularly good record on racial equality or something?

Those Biden-Trump debates are going to be utterly awful. Funny, but awful. Four more years of Trump awaits I think.

I mean if you listen to some in here he has an awful record on EVERYTHING.

but yeah, he has had strength with African American voters for a long time I believe.
