Large amount of voters won’t vote for empty bullshit and will stay home, also

 

Yeah I think Biden can beat trump considering the economy is about to take a massive dump, but it’s still one step forward two steps back

 

In 2024 kamala is going to get obliterated by Tom cotton, I can promise you that

 

But wouldn’t the argument need to be Bernie can turn them out then? He’s not. It fucking sucks, but he’s not.

 

Hard to take my school's response to the coronavirus seriously when we ran out of tissues today because the business office forgot to order more.

 

Biden can beat Trump. My bigger concern is what happens in 2022 and 2024

 

"hope"

 

Change

 

I’m gonna go with: Yep. For the rest of eternity, it seems.

 

It’s gonna be great when Bloomberg steyer and all these other assholes spend like 2 billion for joe to win and they still lose a shitload of congress seats and don’t win anything in the senate and then in 2024 it’s 2016 allover again.

 

Spoiler: not good, very bad

 

What were gonna need for a while in any electoral college situation given current demos and polarization.

 

still rooting for that meteor btw

 

I do think we have the momentum for one good, strong turnout swing in us this year. Regardless of the candidate to an extent. After that? When the threat isn't nearly as obvious as Trump? Well...I have to hope there's some amazing, inspiring candidates out there that we just haven't heard of yet.

 

I really think if joe is the nominee the party is going to split, just a question of when.

 

there's no real point in the party splitting given the fact that you have a winner take all system.

 

AOC until the left completely turns on her is our best imo.

 

You are delusional if you think a copy paste Democrat is gonna win a fucking thing

 

If (dare I say when?) Bernie drops out in the next month, I am still voting for him in the primary. I’m NJ so I’m literally all the way in June for the very end of the primaries but I wasn’t old enough by a few months for the 2016 primary so I sure as fuck will be voting for him this time around, don’t care if he’s dead I’m still pushing the button that has his name on it.

 

sitting at home today sick with the flu feeling like shit. This news just made my day. I can say with complete honesty I would rather have this fuck stick get it than Trump (but both would be great).

 

Just to give some anecdotal insight on the electorate views based off a few hundred Bernie text banking responses...

Number of yes Bernie is about equal to number of yes Biden...of those biden voters, about half would not vote Bernie as second choice because he's too far left.

Just fyi

 

all fears assuaged

 

If the Democratic Party is deeply unpopular why would they stay there just to get swept out?

 

On another note, that libertarian dude who told me Bezos doesn’t need to pay taxes, just told me that my demand that people deserve a living wage is an authoritarian dictator approach and that “victim mentality creates weak individuals”. Military will rot your brain folks

 

If Biden somehow ended up naming Warren as his VP I’ll feel much better cause I doubt he is making it 4 years.
