Trump will lose 0 support over a bad economy. He will lose support over nothing. I don't even know who the Republicans can run after Trump, Trump is the 4th piece of the Holy Trinity to them.

I dunno, maybe just have him run a 3rd time and dare anyone to stop him? There's no one who has his particular brand of "charisma" and knockoff Rolex charm. He'll probably have an Obama-tier stranglehold on the Republican field until the day he dies (shortly after his doctor proclaims him in the best health of his entire life).

Maybe an oil/gas baron? Chuck Norris?

Man, zoomers/late millenials are overwhelmingly socialist. It's a glimmer of hope in a bleak landscape. We will never have our hands on the levers of power until it's far too late, but we know that our future is being sold to the highest bidder.

If I had a direct line to Bernie I would've been on my knees begging him to pass the torch to an independent political party at this point.

He's an electoralist, he doesn't see any path forward for the socialist movement that doesn't involve the Democratic party. That reality ain't gonna change until the electoral college and FPTP are no more.

I think you're right about this. But... couldn't you hold them hostage by explicitly tearing off a chunk? Just circumvent the D primary by hanging the 3rd party threat over them forever.

I think Bernie sees that, probably rightfully so, as a tactic that would alienate a huge part of the electorate from him and his movement forever and cement him in history as one of Nader-tier infamy. His goal is to take over the party from within, not put a gun to its head until it does what he wants. You can't do that when they have way bigger guns than you.

I don't know how to settle myself with the idea of not voting for Biden. I don't want to vote for Biden. I am talking myself into maybe having to vote for him if he gets the nomination, and not yet succeeding. And sure, I don't live in a swing state. Or at least one that will be pivotal - if this state swings we're looking at Mondale levels of humiliation. He's going to be absolute dogshit if he wins. But I can't bring myself to not vote for the only party's candidate that has a shot at doing literal anything by actually getting elected. I feel like an accelerationist when I think "well, there's only one person running I'd ever vote for, so I should write him in"

How have you all made your peace with that? I know this is a personal question so it's different for everyone. But I figure someone here has had the same issue. And I would like some help.

Just think, what if everyone felt that way? Then you'd certainly be a drat fool to feel any other way, wouldn't you?

Owns that the democrats literally chose the republican path to electoralism by appealing to only the most racist boomers possible and helping to shut out anyone not them.

Not sure that's a fair cop given Clyburn is perhaps singlehandedly responsible for Biden being in the lead and the Black vote earned him his ST win. This election isn't about racist boomers, it's about capital shutting out socialism by any means necessary.

Joe Biden doesn't even have a 90% chance of being alive come July, let alone capable of coherent sentences.

I'm starting to suspect 538 might be uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh bullshit

No, it's not bullshit. Nate Bronze just knows none of that matters and the Dems will prop up a corpse if necessary. The thing no one acknowledges is his model is tremendously swingy. It doesn't predict the future, it just reflects the current state of the race, which could easily change due to things that he simply doesn't model. There's no weights in it for a pandemic, for the stock market crashing, for a candidate to accelerate into senility before the convention.

the simple fact is that the vast majority of voters will not watch the debate, and will vote for joe biden because they remember him from the years when things were normal. his mental decline is meaningless, the party doesn't care about winning in november, they just need to deny the left a win here. then they can try again in 2024 with copmala/klobb/buttchug

Yeah this was about defending capital. Letting Bernie win would be a huge paradigm shift in America that could not be allowed to happen. Normalizing breaking up the insurance industry? Unacceptable. It needs to be smothered in the crib.

Some Guy TT posted:

so i just saw on the news that trump changed the guidelines from advising against gatherings above fifty people to gatherings above ten people and i just want to get this straight democrats think victory in november is a foregone conclusion because people will blame trump for the coronavirus but while trump is in the headlines actually doing poo poo to deal with the coronavirus biden is encouraging people to defy those orders to go out and vote for him in primaries the democrats are refusing to delay and also bidens making GBS threads all over the idea of using universal coverage to better prevent outbreaks so his plan is to just call a meeting after an outbreak has already happened and do what the advisors say which is what trump is already doing

am i getting this right i feel like i must have been hit on the head or something because this sounds idiotic even by succ dem logic

Yes and this post is especially accurate because the DNC isn't refusing to delay them. The primaries are state run, the DNC is powerless. And no one is going to know that and Trump is going to blame the Dems. So everyone will think it's their fault anyway. This is going to be effortless to spin

Nevermind the fact that they send agents to crawl all over every State race, and sometimes take them over, they just have no ability to do anything!

They have no legal authority to cancel or move a primary. They are run by the states, most of which are run by Republicans that are refusing to delay them. Hope this helps
