This narrative will sink our Comrade if he's the DNC's chosen one.

It's a lay up.

I generally agree with this thought. They can't and won't though.

I find it fucking HILARIOUS that every single person on that stage (Aside from Comrade) will GLADLY accept all the money Bloomberg would shell out to them, but don't think he should be in the race.

Warren even directly said as much. The party of morals and feeeeeeeeeelingz has no issue tearing that man a (Rightfully deserved) new asshole while attacking his character, but then flipping the shill switch for "Party before individual" saying they'd accept his money - bloody knife still in hand.

or in this case, a tomahawk.


There's a reason Bernie is doing as good as he is in spite of his age/health and the general way he conducts himself which isn't the most friendly/charismatic that people like to see in candidates. It's because almost everyone else beside him is a republican-lite outside of the social policies which are pretty much the only thing that differentiates them from your average Republicans. I mean, the DNC is/was alright with Bloomberg even though he switched to the Republican party in 2001 and just re-registered as a democrat in 2018. All his answers and defenses and his ads is textbook moderate republican.

Dollar bills is the true north in the U.S of A. It's almost like almost everyone in Washington is beholden to the same special interest groups.

Sticking out in a field is almost always good unless you're absolutely mad crazy like Marianne Williamson. Admittedly she did make for some great memes.


Anyway anyone want to speculate with me on how Nevada primary is going to end up with what we've seen from the debate?


I expect Sanders to win it, I expect Bloomberg to fall hard and voters leaving him for Biden/Pete and some Warren just because she nearly scalped his ass on stage. With his stunned look you could've fooled me, brain matter was on pause. I think the momentum Amy Klobuchar got from New Hampshire is going to get sucked up primarily by Warren and then some going to Pete.

The only reason why I'm not confident on a power ranking of sort is because I really don't know where's Pete in all of this. I don't know which % of Bloomberg's are going to leave to go towards him. If Warren had not done as good as she did in the debate, I would've been confident in Pete having a good chance to take it but now I'm not sure.

Edit: I want to point out that I know Bloomberg is not on that ballout I just meant speculating on where his voters are going to re-align themselves for the primary.

Had Biden existed a tad more on the last debate he might've sucked a lot more people back. I think he's going to do better than expected but honestly he needs a strong showing in this primary or else it's pretty much boom for him. Knowing him he won't drop out that fast, stubborn old man :D

Honestly I just want to get to Super Tuesday already so we can see some of them bowing out, shit is hella boring. Although having more people stick it out means fragmenting the voting and thus preventing a 1st round nomination so it's possible people won't drop that fast this time around.

Biden, Bloomberg, Klobuchar, etc are all in it for a brokered convention i think. i dont see any of them dropping out unless Bernie wins just about everything.

It's 100% going to go to a brokered convention.

I, for one, cannot wait for that day. DNC will have to choose between the deserving Bolshevik - Comrade Barnie - who will be actually deserving of the nod OR do what they assume is in the best interest of the Democratic party and chose a more moderate candidate.

All of them aside from Barnie are going to stay around until that convention. Warren and Mayor Peter Parker included.

I don't see how the DNC can refuse Bernie.... They'll be riots.

I HOPE they refuse Bernie so the party will implode.

Yeh from how the DNC has acted and how MSNBC/CNN and all have been conducting themselves it's clearly the directive is stop Bernie at all cost. I think only Steyer will drop out if he does bad in North Carolina. I think it'll be better for the DNC because I don't think people who vote for him will add much votes to Sanders. But I don't know what's Steyer's motivation for running so, I can't say what he'll do. He's a pretty odd dude.

Democratic party is trying real hard to repeat a 2016 and thinking it'll pay off this time. This timeline is wild, and these are supposed to be career politicians thinking about politics.

a lot of them lack the ability to think critically and for lack of a better phrase, think like normal people.

they actually think it’s their job to decide who the best candidate. that responsibility is with the voters

quite a few idiot Republicans tried to do the same stunt with Trump but it flopped (Romney, McCain, Ryan, etc.)

so like i literally have some friends in Milwaukee that are planning a vacation that week. obviously the secret service and traffic everywhere are the main concern, just a good time to get out of town. but they mentioned riots as a concern as well.

I forgot it's in Milwaukee.

Maybe i'll take a day trip for some spotted cow and civil unrest.

I would need to buy a Bernie shirt, and that would be painful.
