They’re both technically still in the race, so it’s a vote for biden really.

It sucks that a lot of ballots went to presidential candidates that dropped out this weekend, but I was surprised how many votes went to candidates who have been out of the race for way longer. Julian Castro was in 4th in a border county, last time I checked.

I was hoping the SC momentum narrative was just more media smoke like Pete after Iowa but I guess it was underestimating things. Like 2 weeks ago 538 had Bernie winning almost every state, what the hell happened

Say bexar

no that's not the right way you loving lunatic, why would that ever work like that.


Honestly I was tempted when I saw that there were actual challengers, because you know what's better than a general election with a strong candidate with good odds on beating Trump? A general election with no trump at all. Who wouldn't want to vote against him twice as much? My local US congressional representative is being challenged too, and it'd be nice for him to gently caress off forevermore never to be seen again.

But then I didn't want to go through the research as to which candidates are the least horrible monster and whatnot.

Klob and Pete dropped out and endorsed Biden, and Warren did not drop out and endorse Bernie.

I guess the electorate isn't ready to seriously consider addressing the root of the problems in society. Whatever, the fact that we came so close here in Texas of all places is still evidence that winning is possible and I'm sure we'll see more candidates like Bernie in the future. There is a lane, and it can only get better with time.

The only question is when the sword of climate change finally drops and how much of our head it takes off vs when the electorate decides to change.
