not only is bernie going to win, he's going to win in a landslide. and all of your sons will renounce their heterosexuality and your dead pets will come back to life. if you had your pets cremated smash the urn on your floor right now, they may end up crippled if they come back inside of an urn. dont worry about cleaning up that will take care of itself

U.S. Senator Rand Paul used near-verbatim portions of the plot summary from the English Wikipedia entry on Gattaca in a speech at Liberty University on October 28, 2013 in support of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's campaign for Governor of Virginia. Paul accused pro-choice politicians of advocating eugenics in a manner similar to the events in Gattaca.

Once I went to a Rand Paul town hall in college because I wanted to be politically engaged and up about what my Senator was doing and when explaining why the ACA and "socialism" was bad he told a literal Yakov Smirnoff joke but pretended it was a real thing that happened to a Russian friend.

It is wild to me that there are people still hanging onto the idea that Warren's going to give her delegates to Bernie.

quote:

Sanders has significantly consolidated the left and is likely to remain viable — that is, collect delegates — just about everywhere in the country. If a candidate comes in below the 15 percent threshold of viability, his or her delegates are distributed to other viable candidates. In California, Texas, and Virginia, Warren is on the cusp of viability. If she ends up collecting those delegates tonight, she can hold on to them until the convention and release them with an endorsement of Sanders. If she drops out or falls below viability, those delegates get split between Sanders, Biden, and Bloomberg — with Sanders taking roughly 30 percent, if the polls hold, and the rest going to the establishment candidates. That gives the moderate wing of the party a clear path to a collective majority of delegates, which they could and would use to deny Sanders the nomination.

giving delegates to bernie in exchange for vp is the only chance she has at this run turning into anything for her

it wont happen because she is specifically running to spoil, but lol if she thinks she has a shot at vp with biden, he is already going to give it to rat or corn pop

The Second Coming (of Turpm)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Election is at hand.
The Second Election! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Donald Turmp
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with whale body and the head of a mushroom,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards the White House to be born?

In all fairness, deliberately putting lives at risk because you refuse to understand you are an objectively worse choice for an important position since you really really want it is kind of on point for the Warren campaign.

He's the navigator, IIRC. That ending is kind of hosed.

So there's part of the argument that makes sense.

If Warren dropped out, it'd probably help everyone in the race, not just Bernie. It'd also probably ensure all three remaining candidates (Tulsi doesn't count) are above viability basically everywhere. If Warren stays in and wins delegates, she's lowering Bernie's count, but also Biden's and Bloomberg's.

It falls apart in the following ways:
  • It asks us to trust that Warren would give her delegates to Bernie.
  • It asks us to trust that Warren could give her delegates to Bernie. State-by-state delegate laws make that complicated.
  • It relies on a contested convention not being an absolute disaster regardless of who gets the nomination.
In other words if that's really what Warren's planning to do, then it'd be unbelievably messy at best and a total disaster at worst.
