Democratic Primaries 2020 - With a whimper

[LouisCyphre]

Who is the median voter that is willing to pull the lever for a Democrat?

The hope, as ever, is that there’ll be no settling for ‘a scrap’ this time.

The last poster itt who has openly speculated about the possible need to cancel democracy is warning people about authoritarianism.

More educated and not as white and not as old, but still pretty damn old.

It’s kind of a paradox: with democracy you get authoritarianism, and without democracy you get authoritarianism. Funny how that works. It almost like having a bunch of dipshit primates running a technological society likely leads to bad things.

(And yet, things are a hell of a lot better than they were 100 years ago, much less 200 years ago.)

They also know Bernie was a Democrat, against whom he won the black vote

But Bernie isn’t a known as a Democrat, he’s known as an independent.

Biden/TBD 2020 GET HYPE

[anachronistic]

I’m understanding of all factions on the left.

And if Republicans were in control you’d have nothing. And you’d be marginally closer to nothing.

LGBT people had bigger problems in the 60s than just not being able to get married.

@poopypants

If Joe Biden is a racist then why did he win black voters? For instance, 72% in Alabama and 61% in South Carolina and 87% in Mississippi.

Based on your past work I’m assuming this a joke, right?

[zikzak]

Y’all seriously gonna try to straightsplain itt? Really?

@alex

This is a great question, you tell me. I assume because they didn’t immediately bend the knee to our lord.

Because I know that even some people who are actual Bernie supporters were still treated as traitors.

“Hey guys, why don’t you stop being nazis? Maybe just a little?”

“Nah, we’re good. We’re gonna keep being nazis.”

“Sigh… These fucking nazis…”

“OMG we were gonna stop being nazis until you called us ‘nazis’!”

[6ix]

You guys called me a Bro so I was forced to vote for Lyndon LaRouche again. That’s just logic.

@zikzak

Y’all seriously gonna try to straightsplain itt? Really?

It’s worse than that because it’s straightsplaining a point that’s actually their opponent’s point.

@zikzak

Democrats had fuck-all to do with that. The LGBTQ community fought and died in the face of outright hostility from both parties for decades. Being reluctantly dragged across the finish line isn’t leadership.

wheres that .gif from @6ix of that one dude doing like a triple take and shaking his head and blinking his eyes?

Voting isn’t a continuum, there is no median voter. Every single person believes a total grab bag of nonsense including at least 15 mutually contradictory things. Gary is to the left of Terry because he believes the contrails are made by corporations whereas Terry thinks they’re made by lizards. But he also thinks states rights are good and abortion is a sin and taxes should be higher and thug culture ruined basketball and teachers should be paid more and they should just put a computer in charge of things and…

[6ix]

Also, can the babybrains at least try to not immediately turn every conversation into DementedRapist2020, maybe just a little? As a treat?

We were talking about Big Sean’s big brain with its big analysis of Bernie’s big not doing the one secret trick the DemE hates (!).

[6ix]

“Big Sean’s brainworms got high on their own supply.”

“So you’re saying you’re fine with trump appointing another SC justice?”
