Hey CNN finally up to speed on the Texas results!
In Canada there use to be a media blackout as different regions closed. It got killed in 2015 though.
The real takeaway is Bernie probably leads after tonight. Warren prevented him from having a huge night. And also LFG.

To add a note of optimism to this, I’m convinced that a truly progressive candidate can win now. It may not be Bernie himself, but the Overton Window has shifted considerably, and that shift will only continue as demographics change.
Media types were pretty positive toward Warren this cycle, for example. I think there’s already a sweet spot for a progressive who doesn’t scare the establishment too much. Like, if you could engineer someone with Bernie’s policies and likability and removed the scary label and the history with Hillary folks, you have an exceptionally strong candidate. Someone like that will emerge soon. I don’t know how soon, but it’s coming.

Every state but VT and TX atm.
Will Warren even be ahead of Pete after tonight? Jesus Christ.
I don’t know if there’s any way to measure this, but I would bet the effect is quite strong. Particularly in an election like this with a high percentage of late deciders.
predictit saying the texas results are just travis county
Mehdi Hasan on Democracy Now on PBS right now
Bernie yeah, Biden sure, Warren okay… but who the fuck are these people actually voting for Bloomberg.
I’m running dangerously low on likes for the day so I just want to say I appreciate you guys. Even Clovis. Not Iron81 though.
