Democratic Primaries 2020 - With a whimper

Will give Biden credit he’s not doing badly in this interview.

lol then he fucked it up at the end

I haven’t been keeping up with this thread really with everything else going on. Did I miss anything except you guys arguing about whether we should vote Biden or abstain?

Something I never thought I would say: Morning Joe did a good report this morning.

I did not see Biden’s segment as I had to leave for work so I can’t comment on it, but the story they did on Reade’s allegation I thought was very good and fair and wasn’t a whitewash.

Trump has all but defended Biden but what else is he gonna say? Meanwhile Jr is going all in because he’s an idiot who doesn’t understand irony.

Then after they discussed all that they uncorked all of Trump’s accusers, one by one, and played the Access Hollywood tape again n full.

It was a good segment. First time in years I didn’t leave the house on a weekday with sore balls.

Absolutely shocking a centrist Democrat would view his role as bringing in more centrist Democrats.

I am actually delighted that he sees himself as transitional. Biden in and out quickly sounds pretty good to me.

That’s what she said. Too soon?

Absolutely shocking a leftist would find that repugnant? Things must be shocking to be objectionable?

Is there any chance at all the DNC pulls the plug and makes Corey Booker or whoever the nominee by decree?

As far as I know only some states even legally bind electors to pick the person their state choose and even that is being challenged at SCOTUS this term.

The whole election system there is so insanely bad it’s astounding.

Negligible bordering on trivial. It would be via the VP pick and ‘sudden’ health issues if it happened.

Hugely important guard rails in their entire political system apparently depend exclusively on “norms”, so yeah. When your system can be hijacked by the dumbest racist uncle you can find, your system sucks.

Democrats Aren’t Stuck With Joe Biden

But instead of throwing up your arms at being forced to choose between either defending Biden or simply holding your nose and voting for a man you now suspect may have done something terrible, remember—it is only May 1.

The 2020 Democratic primaries were notable for featuring a huge slate of candidates who were all broadly acceptable to the rank and file. The majority of Democratic voters regularly told pollsters they had favorable opinions of all of Biden’s closest competitors for the nomination. The candidates who couldn’t crack 50 percent were, for the most part, not unacceptable to Democrats but mainly unknown. Loyal Democrats paying the closest attention to the race bemoaned the early exits of numerous perfectly qualified candidates.

Guess what? They can return, if they want to.

Hope springs eternal and all that, but I don’t see it.

Seeing Biden get backdoored by some delegate method would be a pretty satisfying result regardless of who the replacement is.

Sadly there is exactly one guy left who is an old white male not threatening people with lots of money. So Biden it is, unless he dies.

Did Ted Kennedy lose his dock privileges at Chappaquiddick?

everyone besides Bernie rallied around a dude who voted for the Iraq war and lied about it, seems like they had a point

Centrists really can’t accept that Biden is awful, and that the only person in politics with half a soul is Bernie Sanders, and they have to nervously make these dunks on Bernie supporters so they can prop up their conscience
