    my dad made in interesting point...Biden, Trump, Bernie, and Pence, may all get and suffer from the virus between now and Nov. We may have a candidate that isn't even being spoken about right now. crazy times.

    We could have a deceased candidate between then and now, this virus is scary shit. A huge percentage of voters may be dead between then and now.

    I’ve always assumed this is why they always technically say ‘suspending’ a campaign instead of dropping out.

    Hillary tried to warn us. That bitch got three million more votes than he did so I’m randomly deciding here and now that I’m not entertaining any more arguments about her being unpopular or unfavorable. The moral high ground is gonna get over one million Americans killed from COVID-19 because some of us had to be ideologically pure. Enough.

    Biden is gonna be the nominee and as annoyed as I am about this, we need to rally around Uncle Joe and get that orange mother fucker out of there. I’m sick of this shit.

    I’ve watched the “Hillary” doc on Hulu twice, now.

    Each time, I cry. And I’m pissed.


    Whichever candidate wins is going to inherit the biggest national debt in the history of this country. They’re going to have to undo that Republican tax plan ASAP, whomever it is.

    I saw a meme earlier about Bloomberg, something along the lines of: "He paid a billion dollars for his presidency - now he won't pay a penny with the coronavirus around"

    my dad made an interesting point last night. He said, "all it can take for things to change is Cuomo getting one delegate. just one." He was explaining to me that if he were to get to the convention, the party may end up backing him over Biden due to his now national recognition of how he's handling the crisis in NY. he seems overwhelmingly popular during this time. "lots of deals happen" at the convention, he said.

    Also: all it would take is one microscopic particle to take out any of the senior citizens running for office. As much as I would hope that all candidates are taking proper precautions, we already know Trump isn't distancing (see: briefings). Wouldn't be surprised if the other candidates are also taking more risks than they should be.

    Given the state of the nation, I think anything that doesn't have the letters "COVID" in it would be considered a Friday Night News Dump regardless of what time and day it was dropped.

    What's happening in Wisconsin is a goddamn travesty and only a preview of what will happen in November if Dems don't fight like hell to include mail-in ballots for the general election in the next COVID relief bill. Republicans need our votes to get more relief and yes, we missed the train on including it in the first stimulus bill that passed. If we don't get it in there this time, we're fucked.

    They won't fight for it strong enough. They're Democrats. They're paid to lose.

    This is the least excited to vote I've ever been in my life. Ever. I feel like come November I'll be voting to be kidney punched instead of dick kicked.

    Knew it was going to happen, but still sad. I will hold my nose and vote for Biden just like I did with Hillary in 2016, but I would be lying if I said I didn't fear a repeat performance, even with four years of Trump's bullshit to deal with.

    Good, we need to spend the next 6 months working on unity. I don't care what people think of Biden. He's not my favorite by ANY stretch of the means, but we NEED to vote for him. Look at what's currently in office and what will remain there if we don't band together.

    I hope I'm wrong but I feel like Bernie dropping out has tilted the election in Trump's favor.

    2016:

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html

    As of now, nationally, Biden is in a better place than Clinton was at the tail end of the 2016 race. If it hadn't been for Comey and his fucking letter she would have won and you now wouldn't need to wear a mask to go to Wallgreens because she would have listened to experts who warned Trump about this in January.

    I think it's entirely possible he gets the wartime president bump. Other people will take drastic measures (mostly in line with Democratic party principles), enact them near election time, and he'll be screaming about how it's his name on the documents so he's the one fixing everything. And it'll work, because people are goddamn stupid.

    People are definitely disappointing. They voted for him even after admitting to assaulting women and making fun of a disabled person. They willfully ignore everything that’s wrong with him and prop him because of American exceptionalism. It’s fucked up.

    Stop fucking watering it down to this lazy ass one-liner. Because that's not the choice.
