Pete will get sec state in the Biden cabinet and do an unfathomably bad job of it, war crimes and all, before running against Biden in the 2024 primary, and becoming the front runner in 2028 on a platform of 'Its My Turn Now'.

Lol if you think there will be elections 2024 if Trump wins november

It's pretty clear that Biden won in this particular variation of hellworld future.

Which is why it will probably never come to pass

Further proof that the Butte campaign management and the DNC Venn diagram is basically a circle.

Warren supporters are going to have to think very hard about voting Bernie, or risk getting Reagan II - Blue Tie Edition.

My parents are going on a cruise next week and I'd say it's probably about a 50% chance at this point they'll get it.

Seems like there's a pretty simple solution to that problem if you ask me.

Good healthcare isn't going to help you when you're over 70. I think we've already had one senior cark it over here and we have great free health care*

Welp

The Ministry of Health called a press conference after enquiries from RNZ's Checkpoint about a positive Covid-19 case on Auckland's North Shore.

Two guesses where I live.

Head to Palmerston North.

I'm not American, but I'm guessing no. He's leading Sanders by about 80 delegates last I checked, and the only way the DNC were ever going to let Sanders have the nom is if he had more than half of the delegates. 1991+

Biden would basically have to stop winning conservative states at this point for that to happen, so even if the bernster pulls ahead, it seems unlikely that the inevitable brokered convention would give him the Nom.

Even if Biden has a stroke, they will likely bring in a 3rd candidate to run (and lose).

I really do love the idea of military / war simulators that simulate the non-tactical aspects of war. I always thought an interesting game would be a King of Dragon Pass style adventure as a platoon commander or whatever trying to keep your soldiers on point and focused on the mission or training and not freaking out about being sent to a foreign warzone to die or going all warcrimes. Or an FTL game where instead of fighting bad guys, your objectives were to run a department while also considering the professional development and mental condition of your crew. Maybe go the whole game with one or two combats, including a potential blue-on-blue you have to defuse.

So like Theme Hospital, but instead of a hospital administrator, you're a platoon CO in First Cav?

Someone should make this.

I mean surely there's something to be said for focusing your attention on the states that your party has a chance in hell at winning in the general.

It's great that Joe is more popular in Alabama, but it's not going to matter when the entire state stays red and the rust belt votes for trump again.

If the primary system were more attuned to who had the best electoral prospects, maybe you wouldn't be in this mess.

That's what's really frustrating about Joe's "I'm a bridge to the candidates standing behind me" comment. If you want them to be in control, step down!

People better put their helmets on, because short of a miracle, Trump's getting reelected. Nothing so far has stuck to him, and I don't see anything actually hindering him.

I mean he pretty narrowly missed being impeached for a bunch of crimes, is hated by probably more people worldwide than anyone since Dubya, and possibly already has corona virus.

On the other side of the coin, the only alternatives on offer are a choice between an 80 year old socialist and a republican who put on the wrong coloured tie some time back in the 1960s and just decided to go with it, who also happens to be experiencing some serious cognitive decline, so I get the pessimism.

Crazy how even with a population of 372 million, the democrats can't find a candidate that's likely to survive a full two terms.

I'm pretty bummed that more liberal policies haven't won more support but kind of relieved that Sanders's inability to follow through on turning out new/young voters has been exposed now instead of in the fall.

As opposed to Biden's inability to turn out young/new voters which will be exposed in the fall.

Biden didn't bet his campaign on it. He didn't promise to win by doing it. Sanders did.

This doesn't change the fact that he's probably going to lose the general with a lower democratic turnout that Hillary.

I expected Russia would be getting totally boned by this thing, but according to what I've seen, they're either not testing anyone, or they were oddly responsive compared to the rest of the world :tinfoil:
