Monday, the economy collapsed
With Tuesday night still young, Michigan gets called for Biden
The first hour of Wednesday, Washington gets called for Biden
By the end of Thursday, Bernie's concession speech is given
By noon Friday, Lowtax gets an influx of :10bux: from toxx re-regs

If you're wondering why Saturday and Sunday are left blank, it's because I'll be busy looking up one-way flights to various countries. Good thing about coronavirus and economy disasters happening simultaneously: everything's in my budget now

the funny thing about democracy is people won't vote for good things but they will vote for bad things

If you tell someone they'll get good things, but also, so will other people, that person will no longer want the good things because they feel only they deserve it

How likely is it that Bernie loses all states today?

0% chance. Idaho and North Dakota should be comfortable wins, albeit not as overwhelmingly so as they were in '16 because the population likes Biden more than Hillary

gently caress dude, don't do this to me

He won Idaho by 56.8% against Hillary
He won North Dakota by 38.6% against Hillary

He hasn't won any state, even his home state, by more than 28.8% against Biden

My assumptions are 1) that trend will continue, even with less people in the race to split the vote this time; and 2) a lot of people in the primaries 4 years ago voted Against Hillary more than they voted for any other reason, and that's not something that can happen here to benefit Bernie as significantly this time

be real, the worst result is bernie wins just enough to keep it close so there remains the illusion of hope up until june

The worst result is he's blown out enough he concedes and endorses before Saturday, we get a slow plod to the Trump re-election in 8 months, and RBG dies in the interim so he gets another SCOTUS pick in before then too

For those looking to the future (if there is one):

In 7 days is 577 delegates

Arizona (Bernie lost to Hillary by 15%)
Florida (Bernie lost to Hillary by 31%)
Illinois (Bernie lost to Hillary by 2%)
Ohio (Bernie lost to Hillary by 14%)

So far Biden's doing better than Hillary in basically all categories, in all states

MI was one of the last states left on the table favorable to him and one of the two states he needed to win both of to survive, he put all his effort into it the last few days, and it got called against him in barely over an hour. I genuinely don't know how this could be worse

It's revealing, they really want Bernie to drop out ASAP, they're trying to rush it.

Because he had two states he needed to win both of to stand any mathematical chance of still winning and one got called within 65 minutes because it wasn't even close to being in his favor
