I lived in Atlanta for ages and half of my Facebook friends have early voted in Georgia for Bernie.

Now Georgia is postponing the primary, I heard???

I'm not a conspiracy guy, but I'm banking on poo poo is about to get really, really hosed.

Postponing them is probably good for us and I'm assuming the DNC would rather this be over on Tuesday

That's what's giving me the spooky "am I being conspiratorial" feeling.

Surely the DNC wouldn't softball Bernie an easy win.

Something way weird and sinister has to be happening and in thinking that I feel like I'm being an idiot.

It's absolutely good for us for a bunch of different reasons, which is why they're hoping to ram them through

The US is about a week from plunging headlong into an abyss of like three separate exogenuous shocks that could upend our entire structural underpinnings.

Presumably, somewhere there knows this and quit playing chicken.

if the primaries get delayed it prevents the knockout blow narrative from Biden’s camp and gives Biden’s brain more time to crash this campaign, WITH NO SURVIVORS

I would say panic attack, but his demeanor changes when he addresses the chairman before walking off. Just the hint of a smirk and head shake accompanied by instant relief. Panic attacks don't just abruptly disappear like that do they?

so we've come to this, the DNC actively attempting to get millions of people to do something that will give them COVID-19, in order to make their fake election look marginally more believable, so that they can nominate a man who is dying onstage and intentionally throw the election to Donald J Trump

maybe the republicans were right about democrats trying to destroy america

More people will have time to see the debate if they don't watch it live, especially if there's a loving month to disseminate it. Biden's "wave" has more time to dissipate, along with his brain cells, and that's even longer for them to delay the outstanding votes they're slowrolling to make the delegate gap look bigger. The crisis itself is squarely within Bernie's wheelhouse, his platform addresses it extremely well, and he is absolutely ready to do appearances every single day talking about it. Biden absolutely can't do the same--look what happened when he tried one facebook town hall. You think he can do that every day?

No, if delaying the primaries redounded to Biden, they'd have delayed them already. Instead they're literally risking the lives of their own constituents to try to shut this down early, because the longer it goes, the more likely they stumble

Scenario: They're gonna cancel the remaining primaries due to covid concerns. They're gonna have to come up with a nominee by the time of the convention (which will be canceled too) and it won't be anyone currently running, and probably wouldn't be anyone who ran at all. I could see an emergency nomination if Sherrod Brown or John Kerry. They will use the cancelation of the remaining primaries to basically nix the democratic element of the nomination.

Strong disagree. It's Biden or Bernie (read: Biden). They might suggest Warren as a *compromise*
