I sent in my absentee ballot in Washington last week but already like half the people on the ballot aren't in the race anymore. What even happens to their votes? They disappear into the void?

“No need to defend me from this angry black woman.”
How did she manage to type a single word that turned the whole tweet bad.

nobody is passionate about Joe. if you don't believe his support is as soft as his brains, then you haven't been paying attention
I thought millions of people were passionate about him because they see him as an extension of Obama.

The idea that voters perpetrate voting fraud is so ironic it makes my back curl involuntarily sometimes.

I don't really understand where authority and responsibility lies in regards to primary voting. The county election offices handle it, but it's not for a government position, rather just part of an internal selection process for the party. I have no idea how that interface works legally. I don't even really know why it works that way at all, rather than the parties just using some voting infrastructure that they own and control.

He seems like someone who can keep himself from illness just by sheer force of not believing that bad things can happen to him, like dwarves and magic.

I dunno who would have expected any different. He'll spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the election, but not a few hundred thousand or whatever to retain employees after he needs them.

Republicans are already conditioned to expect socialism from all Dems so can't they just find-replace all "Bernie Sanders" to "Joe Biden" without anyone telling the difference?

I know some people who grew up in family situations where everyone just touched everyone else all the time in every way possible, like hugs and playful punches and shoulder rubs but also just lying on top of each other in a heap while watching TV. Did Biden have like a super extreme version of that because the people I know who grew up that way can still control themselves in public.

Are they even going to still have primaries with the way coronavirus fears have been spreading?
Yeah. Right now I can't imagine the convention happening. Every time I see video of it it's just people all over the place shaking hands and moving back and forth between places and all kinds of weird stuff.

Time is just going back to it's original meaning of being before, during or after some meaningful life event, rather than artificial concepts like clocks and calendars.

It's not complete projection though, because every time Trump says he's not watching something on TV he really is.

Because they're Florida?

Or has Florida gotten an election system that's not among the worst in the world sometime when it wasn't paying attention?

In the end, did Bloomberg's 8 billion dollars buy him anything at all? I haven't heard anything about him in months. Or maybe three days or something. I don't even know anymore, times all hosed up.

I'm trying to think of all the internal party discussion that led to him choosing that communication strategy about this. It must have been pretty hosed up.

- people who believe his sexual assault accusers
- black people

...who's the next group he is going to explicitly tell not to vote for him?

Edit: seriously though, it was early high school when I first heard about the struggle for black Americans over how they have to act to be black and it really stuck with me. For Joe Biden to deliberately enter that discussion like that...what a loving idiot.
