HELL SERPENT
Lipstick Apathy

quote:

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Former vice president and 1984 democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale is reportedly considering a bid for president in the 2020 election in an effort to stop Bernie Sanders from becoming the democratic party nominee.

According to sources, Mondale was overheard by reporters as he spoke on the phone saying “call me loving delusional, but I’m worried that Bernie’s going to pull this off. What would it take, I mean, from a fundraising and logistics standpoint, for me to enter?”

The 92 year old former vice president was badly defeated in the 1984 election, winning only 13 electoral votes to incumbent republican president Ronald Reagan’s 525 electoral votes.

The 2020 democratic primary has seen the entry of a record-setting 29 candidates, and as of February 2nd, all but eleven have dropped out. Democratic party insiders feel that none of the remaining candidates have enough support to decisively beat Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, who’s leading in many early primary polls.

You would never get a billion with an attitude like that. A billion dollars doesn't just happen to a person, it is a process of exploitation and backstabbing and maneuvering that only a certain kind of personality accomplishes. Unless you're born into it, in which case those values will be engrained hard into you you're whole life.

This is the real boring rear end reason, but it sounds much cooler when I call it dragon madness.

Fallen Rib
The bourgeoisie is never satisfied with their wealth or with making life miserable for others

This isn't on the scale of John Kerry or really relevant to the Succ Zone in general but it's 5 am and I want to tell this story

There was a landlord in this county who owned and rented about two dozen properties in this county. He was horrifically abusive, and among other things once poured bleach into a tenant's water supply to try and force them to move out, knowingly allowed huge vermin infestations (then tried to evict tenants in neighboring apartments for "allowing" the infestation in his vacant, rundown apartments), and accepted sexual favors in exchange for rent credit (I know this because he told me to my face that he did it)

He did this while in his 60s and 70s until he died of pneumonia. Motherfucker spent almost all of his free time at the courthouse filing paperwork for evictions instead of doing anything else at all; he could have easily sold all but one of his properties, lived in that one, and used the money to do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life. Instead, he made himself absolutely miserable just so he could gently caress over people at absolute rock bottom, and then he loving died

So in conclusion: gently caress rich people, because they will never, ever be satisfied

Do not loving arzy over a Sean McElwee poll of all things. We are still phonebanking tomorrow to get people out to caucus so contribute to that effort instead of melting down.

McElwee literally made a career out of spamming “AbolishICE” and then when the primary started said that we can’t let democratic socialism be a white male issue so he went all in for Warren who out of nowhere said “We Need ICE” and now that Sean has his “data for progress” grift has tried to memory hole away the fact that now he’s just another liberal white supremacist grifter piece of poo poo

What the living gently caress.

"In a change from past Democratic caucuses, the party will release three sets of results: "the first expression of preference" before the realignment, the "final expression of preference" after realignment and state delegate equivalents (the number used to determine the "winner" in past results). The final expression number — rather than the first expression — is used to determine who gets delegates and who doesn't.

All of the numbers will be released at the same time.

Another change: Only members of nonviable groups will be allowed to realign. In the past, candidates who had initially hit 15 percent could lose supporters in the realignment. But for this cycle, the initial 15 percent support gets locked in."

Nah, I wouldn't go this far. If Bernie places a close second here it's obviously not as ideal as winning but it's not a death knell either. Remember that Iowa has a tiny percentage of the pledged delegates needed to win the nomination. It matters for narrative and momentum but is obviously not do-or-die for Bernie considering his volunteer base and his fundraising strength. Campaigns die because they run out of money/momentum. Even a close second in IA probably wouldn't stop Bernie from a commanding NH win.

All that said, we're still calling Iowa today and that includes crucial GOTV calls from about 6:45-8:00 p.m. EST to make sure people have gotten to their caucus sites on time. Anyone reading this thread needs to contribute to that effort. If you're nervous about phonebanking for the first time, today is literally the easiest and most important time to do it.
