Democratic Primaries 2020 - Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[ripdog]

I told my Silent Generation step-dad that Pelosi should die already and let AOC take over. He was not in agreement and VERY concerned by my take.

[catfacemeowmers]

The DNC has stated they won’t work with contractors/campaign staff who work with campaigns to primary incumbent Dems. They announced that immediately after AOC won.

In effect it means that if you want to provide, say, a text banking app to Jessica Cisneros you are agreeing to never be hired by any eDems forever.

Edit: I should qualify this by saying I haven’t heard much about this policy since it was enacted, so maybe they’ve since backed down? But I wouldn’t bet on it.

Yeah. Stalin murdered pretty much everyone. It was sort of his thing.

When do all those GOP votes for Sanders come in, today?

My Trump cultist Dad texted me today to say he had voted for Sanders. He didn’t say why, but in the past he has voted in D primaries for people he deemed unelectable.

Y’all can deny it all you want. But you pissed in your community well. Maybe the skydivers of the world wouldn’t have voted Bernie most of the time, but you damn sure reduced it to 0%. Same with my candidate (Warren). All the snake and rat name calling and conspiracy theories, bernie mathematics could have been better better used convincing Sanders is the next best choice.Bernie should have been a better choice for Pete voters over Biden.
.
You guys are still mindlessly talking about eDems not getting it. No, you don’t get it at all. To get to a Nordic model in the US you have to change the culture over a bigger % of citizens attitude towards social and welfare programs. That doesn’t come with one “once in a lifetime” candidate and a hostile senate anyways and tarring and feathering any perceived threat (a surging Pete or Warren). Biden clearly isn’t going to be the candidate for that. But he’s the candidate for a lot of average Jane and Joes in the world to stop the bleeding of Trump or a few reactionary Pete voters.

You can hand wave away the Bernie Bro thing as twitter bots even though they’re living examples of it like Chapos, Kyle Kulinskis and Hasan Pikers of the world that we can see with our own eyes.

Biden’s seemingly inevitable nomination is on you guys, not eDems, “neoliberal shills”, and other mindless utterances. Courting Pete and Warren voters ad hoc instead of building a coalition to where Warren or Pete vs Sanders was preferable over Biden vs Bernie was a mistake.

Go away again PaulD you smarmy dishonest fuck.

Your post is triple absurd now that Sky herself explained what happened.

And peace until the primaries are all the way over.

@PabloHoney

You can fuck right off with that shitting on “Bernie supporters line”, Johnny. I have plenty of Bernie voters in my life who don’t cross the line of toxic crap you guys promote here. A lot of people here have stupidly adapted the Chapo stupidity and repeated until their blue in their face. All the name calling and using stupid labels like eDem, neoliberal, rat, snake… that came from your side.

The real irony here is you guys are in so much fucking denial and some of you will promote conspiracy theories about riggings of elections without ever checking your own attitudes.

This is why I don’t post here. Even “nice guys” like microbet and you promote that toxic shit.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

I consider myself low info and had to look up Cisneros to find out who she is. Pretty disheartening to see that she lost to a DINO, but Texas gonna Texas, I guess. I’m definitely on-board with the DNC hate, especially after listening to an NPR segment where some DNC rep was openly hostile to Bernie. Truth be told, I’m looking for any reason to check out and start cutting throats for personal gain, but something always makes me stop short of pulling the trigger. Need to eliminate whatever that is and proceed to profit.

My hometown has an AOC type (not nearly as charismatic) trying to unseat a blatantly corrupt, self-dealing Crowley type (Joyce Beatty, who has amassed a personal fortune of more than $10 million while in Congress). No idea if there has been any polling.

This is something McConnell did for the Rs, I haven’t heard it applied to Ds.

When ur progressive, but you also can’t believe how dumb “the Blacks” are.

Tell me more about how Nancy is a master tactician and vote whipper, though.

@skydiver8

So when Pete said “I endorse Biden, come along with me” it’s because they see a Biden win as the best way to increase Pete’s national profile (because of an admin spot).

This shit is like Stockholm Syndrome.

Like, increasing this guy’s national profile or providing healthcare to the poor. Hmm. Tough one!

Because Sky didn’t drink the kool-aid in the end I feel it’s more appropriate to not mince words now:

That shit is fucking horrifying.

Especially the more thorough explanation in the other thread. Reading that thread through this early morning was fine until that part, when the neck hairs started standing. Like, a deep existential dread.

[skydiver8]

I mean, if you take a step back, there are a LOT of Sanders cultists, too.

I’m just too jaded. But there are a ton of “only Bernie” people out there, and are fine with everything he does, and will defend him and follow him right off a cliff.

I am not that way.

Democrats doing normal politics things should not come as a surprise to Team Bernie, and is not cheating. Building a coalition via horse trading is standard behavior.

Whining about a conspiracy is a bad look. He didn’t get enough votes and his pitch of expanding the electorate simply was not validated.
