imagine there's a scenario where there's 2 candidates and 7 delegates at stake. one candidate has 2 delegates, the other has 4. each is in a position where they are 2 people away from getting the 7th delegate. that's a tie for the last delegate. so they aren't exact ties in number of people but they're both equally close to winning the last one. there isn't really a non-arbitrary way to resolve this, so coin toss it is.

The person with more votes should get it.

Biden is going to pick a Republican with a list of scandals as wide and deep as the Mariana trench as his VP and spend the entire time talking about decorum and it's going to be a loving trainwreck.

Again it appears that Biden has the same coalition that massively won in 2018 and the only thing that could preserve trump is a massive economic rally that seems impossible to come. Not sure why people assume it’s just straight over even if Biden is old.

It's not that he's old, it's that he's a loving terrible pick all round.

He's clearly falling to pieces physically and mentally and he's got a long history of being a failure and republican stooge. The Clarence Thomas hearings should be enough to disqualify him.

If you're looking for a candidate to depress your base turning out and absolutely convince nobody to switch from Republican to Democrat then the dementia addled Biden is the way to go. He'll be humiliated.

Trump is visibly less mush brained than Biden and has focused hate that draws people in.

Biden has nothing but nostalgia for a specific eight year period where people forgot he was a racist greasy bastard because his job was to wander around for photo ops. You're handing Trump the second term.

This is not the year to give a flying gently caress about purity. I'm sorry. The lack of any progress on any issue since 2010 is just as much about the republican gerrymander as anything. A progressive win in 2024 will do jack and poo poo if 40/50 state governments are GOP trifectas, 66% of the supreme court think taxation is unconstitutional and we're still looking at a +8 D general requirement to get a majority in the house.

This piece sums up my views pretty well. If Biden is so bad as people say he is, you think it would be an easy choice to just do some outreach and have positive political messaging about the Democratic Party. If Sanders relinquishes his pride, he could still win this.

The Democratic party is fundamentally opposed to Bernie Sanders. This is like saying your Landlord might think about lowering your rent if you buy them presents.

Anyone who genuinely thinks Biden is going to be exactly like Trump is deep into groupthink. He is not a good candidate but he is not going to start a war via Twitter, put Mike loving Pence in charge of a pandemic or constantly fire his staff for not supporting his Sharpe drawings.

I will in fact toxx right now that Biden doesn't in fact plan to cackle madly while he destroys social security.

He is still a lovely centrist but don't try to yell at people that they are The Same because they will tune you out.

Fight on for what you believe in and stop trying to justify giving up.

Joe Biden has fought to destroy Social Security his entire political career.

If you think there’s no way to reconcile Sanders to the party, then there’s no real point of him having run at all.

The point of having him run is to take it over. It's to drag the right wing of the party out and make it the party of the left. Otherwise it'll just sit there refusing to let anything left wing grow while pushing ever further to the right.

Well, you’ll need the cooperation of the party to take over the party. And Sanders can have that if he acts like he likes them, which is not a big ask.

Yes I'm sure if everyone is polite the people who's power comes from accepting donations from corporations that fundamentally opposed to any sort of left wing movement will gladly step aside and let a left wing candidate take power.

Look just because Biden has spent his entire political career leading the charge on pushing the Democratic party right wing, attacked social security, passed racist crime bills and openly palled around with the worst psychos of the Republican party won't mean that he'll continue to do that once he's president.

I firmly believe he'll put a trans woman of colour on the Supreme Court because he'll be thinking about his base. He certainly won't spend his time suggesting republicans who fought for the restatement of slavery who all died fifty years ago.
