it's over once texas falls. it's amazing how quickly bernie sanders was just taken out of the freaking game when a couple of days ago the presidency looked inevitable

That's pretty normal that seats go the opposite way when the president is of the other party.

why is that, just out of curiosity?

"A President can run for third time. Make it law."

"What about Obama?"

"Oh shit right. A President can run for a third term if they are still currently in office. Make it law."

this is going to sound horrifying but if a president is doing a good job i personally would vote for him a third time

not saying thats how i feel about DJT but im not a totally close minded to the concept of 3rd terms for worthy people

Remember, if Trump can run for a third term, so can Obama. Obama isn't losing that one.

Please, please tell me we're not including endorsements as "the establishment cheating Bernie"

i think the argument is that the establishment is seeing that now is the opportune time to strike and is coordinating together as such

which is about as basic politics as it gets. but if you are on the side that is hurt by it i can see how it can be viewed as unfair

Joes racking up VA endorsements. In addition to Tim Kaine and Terry McAuliffe hes also just picked up Reps Jennifer Wexton and Bobby Scott. He already had Reps Elaine Luria and Donald McEachin from a while ago.

i heard my first radio ad for any candidate today and it was biden. it was a richmond rap station and mentioned obama 5 times

at least he knows where and how his bread is buttered

as an aside ive also only noticed one sign in charlottesville thusfar and it was a pete one. im also a shell of a person at this point so i dont notice colors or new things

Very good speech by Pete, I thought!

No official endorsement which...is probably a good thing, I think? Don't know how much he would be able to sway his supporters, but you would have to assume it would be convincing to at least some.

its coming, tonight was about his supporters

I just saw Bloomberg's coronavirus ad. Don't get me wrong, I don't support the guy, but I actually thought it was a good ad.

im actually indifferent to the guy but it just seemed like a bizarre run on sentence without much of a message

Was I being nasty? I jokingly told him to tell Warren to stop disappointing me and provided a reason why she did. I wasnt targeting xp.

I mean my lmao incredible wasnt empathetic, sure, but I mean I still voted for Hillary after all the abuse Bernie Bros took, am I not justified to complain because someone might get upset?

Just doesnt seem fair.

its more of an overall observation, and its not just exclusive to people for a single candidate or party

i do challenge people here to do some self reflection and ask if they are behaving in a way that is becoming of themselves and not hurtful others who are not asking for it

I mean i totally get wanting a break from the topic, i took one myself for like a year because it was taking too much time and energy. It can be frustrating at times, very often times, and taking a step back to realign is a good thing.

people here can get very very nasty. and i dont think they realize that the way they treat people does have an effect on how people feel and their perspectives. and as someone here once told me, its more about "being right" to them than cultivating anything positive or productive.

I think Warren routinely attacks Bloomberg because she just really really hates him and wants to use her last few moments on the campaign trail to eviscerate him.

There is no strategy. There is only hate.

thats fair. makes sense.

bloomberg definitely saved his campaign by not having a repeat
warren was objectively great in her answers but her strategy in terms of focusing on bloomberg is probably wrong
i think sanders showed some chinks in the armor
the moderators were ASS. if every constantly needs 15 more seconds to answer your questions then its your time limit thats the problem
biden probably didnt do enough

It would be pretty impossible, but I would really like to see the inverse of that happen once just to see if it motivated the GOP to dump the EC

And then HOPEFULLY the Dems wouldnt be idiots who now suddenly defended it.

barring something absolutely crazy i dont see the GOP winning the popular vote for at least the next 20 years

im a republican. the EC benefits me and the people i vote for. however it is not right for our system to constantly churn out a winner who is not getting the most votes overall. im fine with it occasionally happening, which is why im not tripping about trump or bush on their own. but 2 out of 5 is iffy and if trump wins in that fashion it will be 3 out of 6. that shouldnt be the case. not trumps fault, but something is getting broken here

You don't have to argue with someone to not have them ignored. Your point doesn't make sense and you cannot do in real life what you are saying is good here. You can't make people simply disappear from thin air in real life.

Ignore and block features are for mentally weak people who cannot help themselves with their own willpower to not respond to people they don't want to talk to.

You are Right.
I am Wrong.
You have it All Figured Out.
