1)who does cspam think is going to win this thing?

2)this buttigieg guy's meme powers seem pretty strong, but is he actually a good dem or no?

The DNC chair being elected by party means Perez will win, especially since the Obama administration says Perez is their pick and is doing everything possible make sure Ellison is defeated.

Perez won extensive late breaking support Friday, including an Iowa delegation that was voting as a bloc — and was waiting to see who looked like a clear winner, as insurance to preserve the state's caucuses as the first presidential primary contest

Hi thread, I'm jetlagged in LAX waiting on my connecting flight and trying to shake off my red-eye sleeping pill, and I thought of you when this Facebook post made me real mad while half-asleep on a taxiing airplane

someone who changed their Facebook surname to Hillary on election night and still hasn't changed it back yet posted:

Ugh I hope social media isn't giving me a true picture of reality here, but I sadly think in this case it's dead-on: Apparently conservatives are 100% united in wanting to eliminate transgender rights and reproductive rights, then destroy environmental, educational, and economic safeguards beyond repair. Liberals, broadly speaking, are busy arguing over whether anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders is a corporate shill neoliberal anti-environment establishment hack or not. We're doomed. Night all!

To paraphrase: "conservatives have united around a strong, uncompromising interpretation of their ideology, and I am mad that some liberals are trying to do the same thing :mad:"

Clearly we just need to unite around wishy-washy centrism, again. Not only will that totally work this time but it is our only hope somehow.

How have people still not figured this out??? God I need coffee

I do have to respect that a standing Senator challenged people "Vote me out. Vote me out!"

The other 99 Senators don't have remotely the gonads to do that

West Virginia is pretty conservative, Manchin has absolutely nothing to worry about from the left

even if he gets primaried he'll just pull a Lieberman

that's a little inaccurate -- it's missing his name across the top and the gold-plated everything.

never mind that brutalist architecture conveys a much better aestheitic sense than anything associated with trump to begin with.
