Pete would be the guy who camps the whole round and racks up a bunch of kills but then someone sneaks up behind him with a knife

It's Warren! It's just her and Bernie left now, and he's still hanging out in the spawn spinning around randomly. She jumps off the ledge above him and ohhhh, she only had 2hp left so that drop was the end of her

Since this has basically become the go-to arzy thread can I just say that waiting for NH is like waiting and hoping that the Eye of Sauron or whatever doesn't alight upon you.

Any race in the primary, the DNC can point at it and say "that's ours" and if they really, truly want it, they'll take it. If they want Pete to win they need to do this in NH, but I don't know if they know that. I keep going back to a post I read in here at the beginning of the week, I forget the poster, that said since Bernie is the presumed winner of NH they might just let him have it to avoid accusations of impropriety, and lord I hope this is the case. Let Bernie have this one measly state, which in the end would means so much more to Butt than it does Bernie. I feel like we're at the mercy of the DNC noticing this obvious truth or not. I can't help but feel this will be the most important race of the primary, at least when it comes to the dueling narratives of Bernie's electability versus Buttmentum.

I don't know how Bernie can possibly win it outside of gross DNC negligence, which means he still has a drat good shot.

Don't start thinking like Alex Jones. The way democracy in America is controlled by the ruling class tends to be propaganda and manufacturing consent. Actually rigging this poo poo seems to be harder than we cynically guess by default.

(Unless it's all electronic voting end-to-end. Then we're hosed lol.)

Ask your dad if he's okay with having thousands of people's deaths on his conscious because he voted for somebody who won't provide medicare for all for people who needed it yesterday. Because that's what will happen if people vote for anyone except Bernie Sanders.

Mini Mike was so desperate to hire people the campaign is offering extra like 3 catered meals each day and much higher compensation for other campaigns.

It's mainly due to start so late most of the talent has already been scooped by the other primary campaigns.

You know who Bloomberg reminds me of? Eldritch Palmer from the hit TV series Strain. I suspect that the actor based his performance on Bloomberg, simply because for an Australian it might be the only obvious example of a living 'refined' New York billionaire that the role called for, but maybe there's more to it.

Pete would unironically own at MtG if my experience with MtG players is any indication

my mom is the same way. Has not expressed any regret for voting for GWB twice or donating so much in 2004 that he sent us a portrait which was proudly framed and hung.

Initially she supported Warren, mentioned that AOC�s credentials were very impressive (whooshing the very anti-credential point of the AOC populist agenda), and recently landed on Pete for inexplicable reasons.

Partisanship surplants actual ideology for most american politics, which means that the general consensus is not that orange man bad because of specific things (like, idk, committing genocide on the southern border??) but that he's part of the other team.

There never will be. When they're ignoring both the Sanders campaign and the New York Times pointing out their errors I have to imagine they're just gonna let them stand and hope everyone forgets.

Pete is like voting behavior 101 in that very few voters actually have a crystallized ideology and use that ideology to inform their voting preferences.
