This is quite literally the primary process.

In this case, yeah. Though I would argue that there's a significant difference between 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 and 1 vs. 4.

There is absolutely no fucking evidence that Warren was in it to split the progressive vote, especially when Bros were dragging he and anybody else who could possibly support her, calling it a "vagina vote" and other such shit. She was doing well early on, but it's not working in her favor. I think after yesterday, it's time for her to drop out.

But, far be it that a competent woman dare propose similar issues to a man, we can't have that. The man must always come out on top, or otherwise she's trying to ruin things.

Story of my fucking life, right there.

Look, I didn't have any problems with Warren up until she backpedaled on the whole super pac thing. I also think the timing is a little suspicious.

yeah that's kinda what I'm feeling at the moment, too

The left wing is ineffective by design. We were DUPED into thinking we can just make a good argument and then rational people will vote for reform

It's like two people in a duel... one side has a gun. The other guy argues that only assholes use guns, so he brought a sword. And then gets shot.


This, but instead of a sword, the DNC is waving around a floppy wet noodle. Sloppy Joe is going to get torn to pieces in a debate against Drumpf the very second he starts his stumbling gibberish. Drumpf is going to openly mock him, and Drumpfs base will just go rabid.

at this stage, I have no idea what effective political activism actually looks like though

I have been pondering this myself a lot lately. We might need to get some OMF threads going to spitball some ideas.

just hoping that if Biden pulls this off, he chooses Warren or Sanders as his VP

THIS. You'll never get Bernie supporters to jump on any moderate ticket. You can't have 5-plus people dogpile on one dude and then say that you won fair and square, it's gonna be sour grapes all the way down. The only way you get a portion of those people to get out and vote is if they still feel represented in some way. I don't think Warren is the right choice, though; her campaign's sole purpose for the past month or two was to spend super pac money to just split the progressive vote. As far as Bernie bois are concerned, she's signed a pact with the establishment. However, the DNC is using their asshole as an echo chamber and I don't have any faith that they'll start making reasonable strategic decisions now.

Hey Dimo!

Sorry about spagging in your FB feed.  This ol' Gen X-er was drunk and feeling bitter.

It's cool mah dood. I don't think anyone is having a fun time with all this shit going on these days.

Sure, NOW you want into the bunker.   :lulz:

It's not that this is a SAFE place, it's that it's at least the type of strife I'm used to.

Yes. A more eloquent response incoming when i am no longer drunk, but yes

I am too sober for this primary season. Fucking ulcers are at it again.

I don't usually drink a whole lot but I chose to tonight to stop myself from going through a "refresh tab" feedback loop.

Biden has a lead in all the states everyone expected him to, and the Berniebros on my feed are having a fit.

I mean, why wouldn't they? Biden has as much chance in the general election as I do. Nobody wants another term of Drumpf, but the DNC spent more time trying to subjugate their voter base than they have finding a candidate that would actually unify the party.

If you think Sanders was gonna win all those Southern states, I have a bridge to sell you. You're lucky people got to the polls with all the fucking disenfranchisement they've been doing down here, so naturally, the people who DID are white, with money, and cars.

I am, however, very disappointed in Massachusetts so far.

Sure, I knew Sanders was going to have a tough row to hoe, but the best people the DNC could come up with was gibbering Biden and OK Bloomberg? What the hell are they thinking...

And, not for nothing,  if you need to get 5 plus people to dogpile on one guy, that's not exactly  winning.

Bloomberg hasn't won spit, I highly doubt that was the DNC's doing, that was just a bored, rich man with a massive ego, and we already have one of those in office.

Look, I'm no fucking fan of Biden, and my vote is going to Warren if she stays in after this, otherwise, it'll go to Bernie, who isn't going to win Florida, either.

The reality of things, as much as I fucking hate to say it, is this: People are afraid. They're afraid of pulling hard in one direction. The GOP had 8 years to work up that level of potential and have the power of ignorance on their side, but the DNC is just far too divided because we AREN'T ignorant, but our ideals are stretched across a spectrum of presumed "left". The US doesn't have a true left wing, and Americans wouldn't be able to know what to do with it if they saw it. We have 4 current living generations who dealt with the Cold War, and had it hammered into their heads that "socialism" is a scary word. This is the fault of nobody but our own nationalistic behavior following World War II and programming that is not easily undone. Both of my parents are smart Democrats who always taught me to grow, and learn, and vote, but even to them, Sanders is too much, because they had McCarthy threatening to fucking jail their parents for being traitors had they thought otherwise. This is still too much in living memory for the old folks for them to understand, and it's the old folks that vote.

Where are all these GenZ that were supposed to be the big change? Doing the exact same fucking thing kids have been doing for the last century since they've come of age to vote: Nothing. Misunderstanding the value of the primary election (been there myself as GenX) and maybe waiting for the general.

The crazy mad progressive swing we all want, isn't going to happen until most of our parents are fucking dead, dude. There are plenty of Democratic Boomers that hate Trump and will Vote Blue No Matter Who, my parents included, but Biden is a safe vote for them, because they lived a fucking life under desks doing duck and cover drills while being told about bread lines. Fuck, even I still had that shit in the 80s.

So before you start howling and yelling about how people are "stupid" and "establishment this and that", remember that there are millions of adults whose variety of experience growing up is what is shaping this vote. There are not enough of us GenXers to matter, and it's clear that once again, Millennials have their fucking thumbs up their asses thinking their student loans are gonna just evaporate if they yell on the internet loud enough.

Fuck me.

Just a heads up, I'm snagging a small handful of these "reviews" right now, buuuuut (don't get mad) I'm replacing names with totally fake names, except for anyone that hasn't already contributed. Capice?

And, yeah, the average American po'bucker attitude towards being fucked can be explained like this:

I kick you in the junk hard enough to knock you out.  When you wake up, I explain that LMNO did it, and that we'll fix that bastard, yes we will.  Only you have to first close your eyes and stand with your feet apart.  You do that, and I kick you again.  Rinse, repeat.

The difference is, after the second time I did it, you'd be cutting me into pieces like Scarface did to that one dude in the chainsaw fight scene, and the po'bucker will just hold his nuts and wail his hatred for LMNO no matter how many times I kick him.

Sometimes I hate this place...

The only explanation, so far as I can see, is that there is a god, and he hates us all.

I've been troubled with this lately.

So many people fiercly defending their own right to stupidity (or even a right to take advantage of someone elses stupidity). So many people who think that their right to have "beliefs" and "opinions" equates to those beliefs and opinions being as equally valid as all other beliefs and opinions.

But you can't talk to them, the more you try to convince, the tighter they hold on to what they have (there's a term for this, what is it?)

I honestly wouldn't give a shit, if it weren't for the fact that stupid people aren't aware that they are stupid, and make more stupid people, who make more stupid decisions that lead to more stupid actions that make my life, and others, more difficult.

But you can't TEACH them anything. And you certainly can't FIST-FIGHT Stupid.

What the fuck to do? LIVE IN CAVE?! And even then, global issues are a bitch, especially with all the dumb-asses in the driver's seat. FUCK. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

FIND A GOOD SEAT TO SEE IT ALL GO DOWN THE SHITTER! (this is an "iquisitive statement")

The fuck... Fuck...

*ahem

sorry...
