I think there really is a very good chance that Biden would outperform Bernie in the GE, but saying "Biden has the lead in a state that democrats will absolutely not win in 2020," is such a pointlessly stupid statement.

If Bernie does not win the Democratic primary he won't beat Trump because he won't be the Democratic nominee.

They might as well have run Chelsea Clinton. Biden's campaign slogan is going to be "it's her turn", regardless of who the VP is. They are just rerunning the exact same 2016 strategy, it will probably be the exact same outcome.

I'm certainly never voting again. What a loving waste of time.

Bernie Bro here. You deserve more Trump.

Congrats, this is why John Kerry was the best possible nominee, and literally no one on Earth could have been performed better because of how time works.

Hey, why did the goalpost move on its own? Oh, wait...

Seriously, this isn't a lateral thinking trick question. If Bernie doesn't win the primary he doesn't beat Trump because that means he isn't a candidate. You can't win an election you're not a candidate for barring weird edge cases with no relevance.

a) There's no guarantee that he wouldn't replace her with a conservative judge. Not saying he definitely will, but there's a lot of ambiguity with Biden being the "we can still work with the right" candidate.
b) Even if he replaced her with the ghost of Karl Marx, the court would still be majority conservative. We need to pack the court to unfuck it, and lol if you think Biden would ever do that.

So you're saying better things aren't possible?

In fairness, some of this is accessibility. If you can't take time off work, you can't, and that's the end of it. Same, re: not being able to find a ride to your way-the-gently caress-far-away polling places, which was/is a huge obstacle atm.

Oh, absolutely. I'm not saying anything against people who wanted to vote but couldn't for whatever reason because that happened to me once (my name was entered wrong in the voter registry and I didn't find out until afterwards).

I take exception to them calling out Vincent Van Goatse for having a good account name in the podcast, wasn't he called something like ALL-PRO SEXMAN back then? This is a historical inaccuracy!

I was Vincent Van Goatse back then too. ALL-PRO SEXMAN was from a namechange thread in 2013 or so, way after Caro's Libyan Adventure.

I ducked over to the grocery store and it got hit hard by panic buyers. A fun thing to do is see what people didn't buy out: tofu and various fake meats, salad dressing, kosher foods (there was an intact shelf full of gefilte fish and matzos), alcohol, pre-packaged deli meats and cheeses, chocolate milk, and Hot Pockets were the ones I noticed.
