Wizard Masters post was dumb and gross and you should probe him again for it, just cause the "trans cuties" part seemed super condescending, buuuuuut...

Hes right about these two points. Biden can totally win this election, whether you think thats good or not is up to you. To explain:

Clinton Favorability, 3/9/16: -13
Biden favorability 3/11/20: +2

Clintins favorable within the dem party were actually pretty good. That means the 15 point difference is mostly independents, many of whom stayed home or voted 3rd party. Theres not gonna be 7 points of third party vote this year. People aren't comparing 4 years of Imaginary Hillary to 4 years of Imaginary Trump this time. They've seen 4 years of Actual Trump now, and its been worse than most folks thought possible.

Its totally possible Biden loses, but anyone telling you its impossible for him to win is either embittered and engaging in wishful thinking, or some kind of secret Hillary stan who thinks she wasnt the worst dem candidate in modern history.

I think you should consider how Biden's favorability will fare, when it becomes clear to everyone that he has dementia and they were bamboozled to voting for a candidate that cannot even talk, much less think.

Stacy Abrams is garbage my dude. She was doing speaking events opening for Bloomberg a month ago. She appeals to the exact same people that are already voting for Biden.

No there are always people who drop in that assume Abrams is good because Maddow told them so.

I would like to bring you a thing I just thought up:

If anyone asks if you will vote for Biden in November, tell them you're following Warren's example and not endorsing either candidate. If they (nevertheless) persist that one candidate is clearly better than the other and more in line with your professed beliefs, respond that much like Warren you don't owe them anything.

maybe I'll pull a new York Times and endorse them both

I don't watch cable news, i assumed it cause C-Spam told me so in 2018, and i stick to the Trump thread mostly. I have no idea what VP pick from Biden could possibly be both likely and good then.

Even less hope for the future now lol.

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?

Stacy Abrams was a cowardly cynical politician when she was in the Georgian state government, she got jobbed in the governors election, but that doesn’t make her by any means a politician of courage or values

I think you will find the requirement is less poc and more pos. Don't forget that Biden is an honorary black person (and you can't have two black people on the ticket).

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

It's going to be Hillary, followed by Biden stepping down for health reasons

Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
To conclude, there is now no chance of Bernie winning the nomination outside Biden dying or calling a town hall participant the N-word. However, Bernie will be staying in the race to hopefully get concessions, bring the maximum number of delegates to the convention to vote on resolutions, and generally continue to show people's hunger for his policies. So no one is excused from campaigning and voting for Bernie.
