we don’t have democracy, it’s a dictatorship of the capitalists, a combination of apathy and voter suppression ensures half the people don’t vote. the parties are run like private corporations. the problem here is not democracy

I've gotten over that some people voted for Trump, because Republicans being rah rah jingoists isn't news, and some people approve of the fact that he's a screwhead and got what they asked for

And Biden is bad enough but pretty predicable from the trajectory of succlibs over the last 40 years

What really gets me is that people voted for Bloomberg

Bloomberg got votes


any votes


from anyone

Bernie's favorability ratings are always near the top of the field. Democrats love him and he doesn't have a ceiling any more than Biden does. The problem is that people are worried about beating trump above all else and they've bought into the electability lie the media is feeding them

The Dems did a way better job at stoping Bernie then stopping Trump. It’s kind of commendable.

I don’t think Bernie is done yet. It was mostly very conservative places voting, we still have places like Michigan, Washington, Oregon, etc. and Biden is gaffe heavy.

I am curious how Trump treats this. If he stays quiet you know he is holding off to the general .

I don’t think this is quite it. I think what we’re seeing is a logical extension of 2018, when Dems made huge gains in the House based on flipping suburbs.

basically: lots of normies hate trump. hate him. they want him out. they’re voting for biden based purely on the idea that he’ll beat trump. the media is certainly responsible for this as they’ve been pushing the electability argument and scaremongering about sanders’s lack thereof. but Biden is promising a return to normalcy and a non-hosed era of politics, and that’s enough for lots of people. that is, in fact, all they want.

so you get massive turnout spikes from
suburbanites terrified of trump and hoping to get him out, but that translates into good numbers for Biden instead of sanders. I don’t think this is a result of sanders’s messaging being a turnoff, I think people like it fine, but what’s driving them to the polls is fear of trump and that’s sending them towards Biden.

i am starting to believe the Texas results might be hosed up everywhere. NPR went from 72% reporting overall down to 66%.

Also the larger counties are literally all over the place with their % total reporting.
