i will allow Warren 24 hours of her own time and if she doesn’t endorse after that i’ll be pissed thanks

 

There is so much to bring up with Biden that both the candidates and the media have ignored. Bernie brings up the iraq vote but Anita Hill and the drug czar should be enough to sink any democratic campaign. Think about how much Biden and the media focus on the one vote that Bernie has on strict liability for gun manufacturers and imagine a debate topic on the drug czar and Anita hill. Which would look worse?!

 

the long con

 

And here we are on the cusp of getting blown out by a guy that can’t put a sentence together. I can’t stress enough how close we are to that happening. The new polls show a big swing, that’ll impact all states, it could snowball into a landslide very quickly.

Don’t expect it today.

 

If you told me a few weeks ago that 2 days after Super Tuesday this would be a clear cut 2 way race between Biden-Bernie with virtually no chance at a contested convention, I'm betting the other way.

Wild how fast things change

 

I saw! I'm working early but might be able make it so I'm pretty excited.

 

These are coming in today and will be available this weekend! Pls buy one so we can donate the proceeds to Bernie

 

“President”

 

I’m starting to think the Olive Garden joke may be true. Voters want it to be over and they don’t care it’s not great, just give me some fucking breadsticks.

Depressing numbers today.

 

Now that Warren has made the decision to drop out on her own terms, if she doesn’t endorse Bernie she is no progressive. Plain and simple. Not endorsing anyone is the same as accepting Biden.

 

Come on Bernie give Warren whatever she feels would help her push her agenda and let’s do this. vp Warren, secretary Warren, anything let’s go!

 

Remains completely depressing.

 

Sunday at his Grand Rapids rally would be great, thank you in advance Liz

 

LOL. Wait all the times you called her a snake and a liar and not a real progressive and now you’re threatening her still? My word. You had the time to court her voters and her. Now you don’t wanna even talk about how you used that time.

 

I just have this gut feeling Liz is gonna let us all down and it won't make any sense.

 

Exciting thing to think about: the next debate is literally Biden vs. Bernie showdown. I am thrilled for that.

 

Said it yesterday but I'll say it again, no one is picking a VP before they get the nomination. It has never helped a candidate and I believe only happened once.

So now with Warren out we're officially going to have an old white man for president again. At least with Bernie he will be the first Jewish president.

 

I missed that.

 

I personally had the time to court her, right.

She claims to be a progressive and want a progressive agenda. So she knows what to do to have that happen. Pete and Amy knew what to do to get their agenda enacted. If she stays out if it she must not really care as much as she says she does.

 

My fear is that Biden is going to offer her Treasury secretary for her endorsement and she takes it because she thinks Biden has a better chance to be the nominee, and not endorsing him would put a cabinet position for her in jeopardy.

 

I’ve never been to Florida but I hate it so much, they’ve cost us so many years of the worst people in power. I know it’s not all on them but it feels like Florida always puts the nail in the coffin

 

A candidate would have to at the very least have "Abolish ICE" on their platform for me to feel completely comfortable pushing for them (not to mention a lot of her antics, who she is as a person, backing up on progressive policies, hiring Hillary Clinton staffers, etc), but I think Warren would have made a decent president. I had a huge preference for her over Joe Biden, like not even comparable.

 

Right. Because if Biden is gonna walk away with this, her wanting to work with that administration means she doesn’t care. The idea that you’re even questioning if this woman that took more abuse than I can describe and fought like hell for her goals and policies “cares” about what she believes in says all I need to know.
