the Republican Party is actually just trying to get rid of Trump secretly

 

Gohmert continues to be just such a good dude

 

Every election can’t end with me just going “I can’t fucking believe we’re losing to this guy” can it?

 

that’s the sense I get. He probably knows he has no shot at this point and is already trying to help prop Biden up to get Trump out

 

I think it'd be best to just sit down with Joe's team and help him draw that clock.

 

No guys you don’t get it, Biden is likable. There is no way he can lose

 

if tomorrow goes badly I think it'd be best for Bernie to sincerely just sit down with Joe and his team, maybe even Warren and...

 

If this is really over tomorrow, I just really hope that Obama is prepared to spend every free second of the next 8 months campaigning around the country, non-stop, for Biden. Because Biden won’t be able to do it himself, nor should he in the state he’s in.

 

there’s a chance he can lose of course but yeah he is likable in ways HRC wasn’t for a lot of people, that alone could end up being the difference in an election as close as 2016 was.

it’s just frustrating that, if people can concede (as I’ve seen centrists do) that all it takes is someone more likable than Hillary to win, then....doesn’t that mean a certain someone else who has great favorability numbers could also win?

 

Bernie should take it all the way to the convention. Fuck it.

 

I feel like he needs to do at least the one debate just to see if it matters

 

As much as it sucks, there’s no point in him doing this. His only shot was to get there with at least a plurality. If tomorrow goes badly for him then there’s nothing that will stop Biden from getting the nomination.

 

oh no I only want this to annoy people I have personal grievances with. it makes me giddy imagining people like Neera Tanden and Charlotte Clymer fuming about Bernie not dropping out.

 

Maybe Biden will lose an eyeball this week, that could be good for Bernie

 

Yeah, I don’t think he’d even want to stay in, considering all the harassment and grief he took last time. It would be good for him to stay in just to expose Biden’s weaknesses further. But since his goal is to beat trump above all else he might want to spare Biden from that for as long as possible. Idk.

 

Y’all have to understand, the same way liz believes all bernies are bros and toxic, Bernie believes he could sway an election if he doesn’t give some kind of virtue signaling to the moderate.

 

All I know is there should’ve been a goddamn debate before tomorrow

 

What if joe offered bernie vp


This is a joke, it’s a joke.

 

Joe is going to pick a horrible VP. There'll be no concessions to the left.

I'm expecting Kamala.

 

Not being talked about, lame journos cumming allover their own face at the thought of liz dropping any kind of progressive ideals. They are extremely online and defending the dumbest things. Once again, somehow it’s all bernies fault that these ideas “can’t win” rather than the actual conversation going on. They desperately want her to endorse biden so they can go all in on “nobody likes him”, they don’t give a fuck about regular people and the longer this goes on the more assumptions will be made that she has joined them in this thinking.

 

Biden will not win unless Trump drops dead. It will be an actual blowout victory, unlike 2016. The current environment is nothing like 2016, outside of the DNC rat moding the process. Democrats refuse to see that, and will lose by a landslide both in the white house and congress.

Favorability is not going to win over those on the fence. A combo of Bernie’s decent numbers and his policies does that. People on the fence will see Biden stumbling up there, check his policies, and will either vote Trump or not vote at all. Guaranteed.

 

Anyone that’s making predictions given a sweeping boomer virus and a tanking stock market should take a few deep breaths imo.

suburb numbers for Biden track with 2018 turnout increases, that’s the number to give a sign of hope

 

Large majority of voters don’t really care too much about policy details as long as they’re not “extreme” in their eyes
