Time for some rule changes and new policies in this thread going forward.
--- The 2020 Democratic Primaries are an utter clowncar poo poo show. A number of candidates are running, and most of them are jokes. Here is a quick summary of what happened at the first two debates (which were necessary because the qualifications were so low that about 20 candidates qualified): Winners: Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Marianne Williamson (lmao) Improvement: Cory Booker, Julian Castro Held Steady: Bernie Sanders Owned: Robert Francis O'Rourke, Pete Buttigieg Murdered on Live Television: Joe Biden Irrelevant: everyone else https://twitter.com/GoogleTrends/status/1144084843115896832 https://twitter.com/GoogleTrends/status/1144444773173907456 quote:Summary of the candidates Somebody fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Dec 23, 2019 |

I feel like Bernie keeps breaking even. But when you factor in him sounding like he has a cold, or him kinda yellish and red faced. i feel like he came out -1 instead of 0. I'm not even sure who i support at this point

My favorite anecdote from a Democratic primary voter was the older lady who believed that Meghan McCain was "the fat girl who sang songs about being fat all the time", confusing Meghan McCain with Meghan Trainor.

Professor Skittles posted:hmm yes. I made more points than just that. It wasn't an individual aspect, it was all of them put together. You think Bernie gained ground, and didn't break even or even lose some ? Bernie gains ground with every question. Seriously. He’s our Goldwater, except he still has a shot at winning. But I think a lot of people in these threads have correctly pointed out that our current terminal-stage capitalist system cannot be defeated by electoralism alone—instead, a movement is needed. But we shouldn’t underrate the degree to which a movement has already been created. It’s possible that the fears we all have of a new competent fascist coming to power if Bernie loses are overblown. For one thing, it’d have to be someone completely new, because none of the current batch can actually replicate Trump’s myriad advantages with his base, especially the part where he was on the teevee all the time before most of his base got their various degenerative brain illnesses. But more importantly, Bernie’s somewhat tepid brand of Democratic Socialism hasn’t just set the parameters of the debate, but have largely defined an entire generation’s political baseline. But the nice thing about having a Goldwater-style politician in the present instead of the super racist past is that Bernie can still win. I don’t think Biden is a credible threat at this point—his family should be ashamed of themselves for letting them do this, and any last faint vestiges of good faith I had toward the Obamas have been snuffed out by this—but that the only person who can stop him is Warren. And given their unwavering support for each other in debates thus far, it’s entirely possible her success will only come by clinging tightly to him throughout the primary. I’d probably put my money on Warren right now, even if I desperately want Bernie to win. But frankly, we have reason to hope, no matter the results of the primary. His ideas have already won. Alternately, we’re all hyperfucked and our lead-posioned parents’ generation will give us Biden vs. Trump drooling at one another for the entirety of one of America’s last summers, seems totally possible!

They refused to run an ad from the Freedom From Religion Foundation that was literally just JFK saying "I believe the separation between church and state should be absolute." Then they ran that thing.

Nah, the mainstream media is flailing, desperately trying to stay alive in this century. Bernie and Warren are beating Biden in the early primary states, with the exception of SC.
