I don’t know what kind of ratfuckery the DNC will try to pull but there’s still almost half the voting to go with weeks until the next contest.

They’re going to defend Biden and spin as much as possible, but with a video interview upcoming it’s not going to be possible to just bury it. Especially because the right wing media monster machine is starting to chomp on any of the anti-Biden stories now that the real threat Bernie seems neutralized.

Stefan Prodan posted:who actually decides who his delegates go to, his campaign? It's all about timing. State-wide delegates are apportioned during the state convention, among the campaigns that are still active. So if he drops out or dies before the state convention, Bernie cleans it up in terms of statewide delegates. If it is after the state convention, his delegates have to vote for him in the first ballot and then are free on the second. District level delegates it varies by state. About a dozen states say that their delegates have to vote for their candidate even if the candidate dropped out, becoming free on the 2nd ballot. But for all other states, they have no state law and the DNC rule is that they have to represent the will of their voters, but it doesn't mandate any sort of action in the first ballot.

It's sort of funny in a grim way to see how incensed people get that the DNC has its thumb on the scales for certain candidates when in most countries major parties barely bother getting the scales out, so to speak.

Amendment King literally saved the lives of people who work tipped and gig jobs. Republicans and democrats were perfectly fine with letting the entire waiting and uber/lyft/grubhub/etc. section of America, literally millions of people, just loving die with no assistance because their first priority was handouts to banks. This and Joe Biden being a rapist are the line in the sand. You should legitimately punch liberals in the loving mouth if they're not on board today.
