Democratic Primaries 2020 - With a whimper

[microbet]

See you in a year.

[Watevs]

bernie or bust types weren’t democrats and weren’t going to come out and knock doors, make phone calls, do text banking for candidates that weren’t offering actual things to actual people

of course that ruffled feathers in a party centered around never offering actual things to actual people

Can’t see “Factors in thrall to capital collude to maintain capital’s interests” being especially difficult to reconcile with a Marxian analysis.

Q. I want to ask about some edits that were made after publication, the deletion of the second half of the sentence: “The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.” Why did you do that?

A. Even though a lot of us, including me, had looked at it before the story went into the paper, I think that the campaign thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct. And that’s not what the sentence was intended to say.

Q. And why not explain that?

A. We didn’t think it was a factual mistake. I thought it was an awkward phrasing issue that could be read different ways and that it wasn’t something factual we were correcting. So I didn’t think that was necessary.

I heard Trump’s never even heard of this loser and he was down 30 points before he endorsed him /MAGA lizard brain

LOL Sky, I’ll just disagree with this article. All we learned this election is that the establishment and the corporate press is in full control.

Didn’t expect to see Berniebros throw Bernie under the bus.

You know that’s not what’s happening.

They’re simply not offering him water as he begins his mystical desert voyage.

“You Berniebro cultists never criticize Dear Leader!”

“Well actually, I don’t like the way he endor-”

“You Berniebro cultists are throwing him under the bus!”

The real test for erstwhile Bernie fans will be how they accept his position in the Biden Cabinet as like Labor Sec. Now he has power, but working adjacent to and at behest of a “bad guy”.

@microbet

In a year alex and a few others will be in here claiming Bernie never supported Biden.

Wat. I applaud Bernie for making the right play here, the same way he did in 2016, the same way he as an actual successful politician has done his whole life.

It is the “Bernie or bust” mouthbreathers, many of whom were involved in his campaign, who did him a disservice by antagonizing everyone in the entire Democratic party while simultaneously trying to win a Democratic primary. The last few days couldn’t have made this distinction any more clear.

Seriously what happened to you?

Note I didn’t say “srsly” so that means I’m serious.

I would’ve lost money betting .Alex. =/= alex.
