The Politics Thread

Bernie says he would have won more states if the field was crowded? Um, Bernie, dude, you DO realize the goal is for people to eventually drop out so it comes down to only TWO candidates (not counting 3rd party idiots) to compete for office, yes?!

 

That's like saying "I wouldn't have tripped and fallen if I didn't have my eyes squeezed shut!"

Damn.  #NaturalCauses2020 just might be a thing after all, lol.

 

I've been in love with Kamala Harris ever since she went full-on "It's Not Right, But It's Okay" with that lying piece of crap, B**** K********, at his SCOTUS confirmation hearing.  So, whatever role she wants to play in a presumptive Joe Biden administration, I'm down!

Bernie endorsed and campaigned for Jackson in 1988 so I guess in some ways it's returning the favor. And they do share more of a view on social matters than he probably has with Biden. 

 

Disgusting that grifter Jill Stein is still peddling her trash, and people are eating it up. The recount fund she used to pay for her legal fees was a bigger con than any "DNC conspiracy" - that Bernie cultists are still supporting her speaks volumes.

Matt Gaetz made light of Coronavirus by wearing a gas mask. Now one of his constituents has died.

Another Trumpublican, keepin' it classy. Sadly, considering his district, they will reelect this ass, anyway. But still...

So, Ted Cruz is going to self-quarantine?  I'm not going to say what my first thoughts were about this.

With Republicans in charge, everything is screwed.

So is Paul Gosar, apparently.

So Steve Bullock is running for the senate in Montana. A huge boost and another senate seat realistically in play.

All thanks to Obama. And after that, Joe Biden winning SC and Super Tuesday. 

 

I read a few days ago that Collin Peterson is running for reelection to his MN House district. He's a very conservative Democrat, but they will likely lose that seat when he's gone and we're going to need every see we can get. Something else that wouldn't have happened without Biden winning.

Funny seeing the seething over this. I was never going to vote for him but the sheer hypocrisy (especially from Bernie people who said nothing when he went on Jimmy "hair ruffling" Fallon) and the bitter self-loathing gay rage that so many like Dale Peck, Masha Gessen and Ben Mora have for him makes me hope he does well.

[Juliajms]

They aren't even trying to stop this. At least that's how it seems. What a time to have such a leadership vacuum.

I'm just hoping the governors will be able to do enough but that's a very naive hope.

He's testing the waters for his own show (likely, one w/ co-host Amy Klobuchar).

 

 

Welp, looks like another Republican administration has tanked the economy.  And all because they wouldn't get out of the medical and scientific communities' way about reassuring people about the Coronavirus.  Sad.
