I'm thinking about changing jobs right now, so I can confirm this is the biggest loving mood on earth. The town that I live in is chud central and has literally nothing for me to do and I hate so much about it, but I have security and a good income, and almost 15 grand in savings that I've stashed in just three years, and some things about my work are just the best, so the thought of risking all that is paralyzing as gently caress.

Now throw the insecurity of relying on employer subsidizes healthcare on top of it. Its messed up.

Agreed. That's why a Pete/Klob ticket is the smarter choice, combined they have over 50% and can beat Trump. They're way more electable.

Do Bernie's M4A and College policies include cancelling private debt for medical students? Just learned a friend of mine with a spouse that accrued a 250k medical school debt to become a doctor is concerned that doctors salaries will significantly drop under M4A and that their 20 year plan to pay it back at her projected salary growth will fall apart. Are her concerns unfounded? Will her debt be cancelled under his plans? She's fine not making mega-six-figure salary provided she's not also saddled with a mortgage of student loans.

My friend was texted by Mike Bloomberg's campaign. After being told to stop texting, the Bloomberg team member Jason told my friend, a woman (feminine name), to smile. It's incredibly sexist. Pretty sure you're not meant to antagonize and keep texting someone like this, even if they (rightfully) tell you to gently caress off. Bernie Bros my rear end.

US Permanent Residents and Citizens can donate. Non-citizen non-residents (e.g. former US resident) cannot. If you're no longer a US resident you cannot donate, unless you're a citizen.

The only performances that are remotely meaningful (and that's a stretch given that debates don't matter much anyway) are Bernie's and Biden's, especially going into SC.

Everyone said Bernie did great last debate in the live thread.

So this is nonsense, as it applies to the 2019/2020 debates. I mean, anyone following the primary threads knows that Warren for example received a significant bump in both donations and polling data after her good performance knifing Bloomberg. Bernie too. You're talking poo poo from 2015/2016 like it means something now.

I feel like a lot of people ITT aren't appreciating just how absolutely loving terrified centrist/older Dems are about Trump winning a second term. They're picking Biden in droves because he's the "safe" choice to win the general and that's it. I don't agree with voting that way, but I can at least understand it.

Biden is pulling a trick on us and is actually going to try and fight climate change NOW rather than in 2060. The olds know this, it's just us dumb kids that think he's telling the truth when he says climate change can wait 30 years. God we're dumb.

No. No I don't understand their FYGM attitude. They have no loving heart because they're fine with their grandchildren suffering. My dead grandfather used to wish that my sister and I had suffered hunger and war because then we'd appreciate what we have more. He LITERALLY WANTED US TO SUFFER.

Stacey Abrams will be seen as too black for the general electorate. Kamala Harris is a much more palatable minority to moderates.

Biden is going to go for someone who does well among groups he does poorly with, and he clearly has the black vote on lock. Whoever he picks is going to be someone who does well with young voters.

It's Warren. Then the Centrists and Right can claim that it's a good ticket because Warren is the extreme Left to Biden's Centrism. We know she is just another capitalist pro apartheid shill but the general populace thinks she's a commie.

We're all upset at the Super Tuesday outcome, and yes, checking out of politics for a while is a good idea for many of us (to the extent we even have that luxury). But the left isn't dead forever, just because Bernie won't be the nominee in 2020, albeit that there is already far too much suffering in the world some of which Bernie would have ameliorated. Meanwhile, if we can use our votes to do a bit of harm mitigation in the general, we should do that while we build (non-elective) power in advance of the next cycle, and the next.

I am fully aware that our country and our species has been running out of time for a long time already. But given the shape of things from here, what else can we really do?

Remember how the donor data showed Kamala was the early establishment pick, prior to her failing to get her poll numbers up and dropping out? Now she's backing Biden and will be his VP pick. Then Biden drops out due to health reasons and Kamala is President.

They got what they wanted in the end in a big roundabout way.
