I really want to see Sanders pick up every other state now, and head to the convention with 51% of the delegates. Just enough that they have to give him the nomination for having majority.

Nah, it'll be 100% Gabbard from here on in. She's done so brilliantly at managing expectations that nobody remembers she's still running, so if she wins even a single delegate it will be a shocking upset that will generate momentum and a powerful narrative along with other things that are not delegates but are presumably good probably.

People don't vote for people, they vote against people.

Here's my prediction for this election. The Dems, hoping Trump will fumble the Corona crisis, put forward their boy Biden. Trump shrugs off this because he shrugs off everything, even things directly his fault/crime. Biden fumbles any and every debate due to lack of eloquence and mounting stress. Potentially, he has a cardiac event before November. Trump wins again.

Or, the USA as a whole completely fumbles the coronavirus thing between now and November, Biden and Trump both catch it and die before the election.

Or, even better, people near Trump start getting the virus, germaphobe Trump freaks out and encases himself in a bubble suit permanently while outdoors. Trump rallies become breeding centers for the disease. Trump's general bravado and dismissing of the virus threat may play out in an interesting way.

Everyone make way for the Presidential Bubble.

Well, I guess these are our choices come November.

On your own heads be it. I really should have known better than to think that Americans of all people could clear the bar of "the man on the tv told me to vote for him", but I did what I could to prevent the death that's coming. I fulfilled my obligation, and fuck anybody who didn't.

That's it. Biden wins the nom, Trump wins reelection, and no response will be had for the ecocide. If you don't like that, too bad. You had your chance to contribute.

That’s Tulsi’s long game right there

I was just wondering whether Sanders can catch up or if Biden is definitely the nominee.

Well, we have more solid results now and the answer seems to be the first is still possible -- a 70 delegate trail or whatever it ends up being in that general region -- isn't entirely insurmountable... but it's probably pretty unlikely at this point.

Biden overperformed pretty heavily, sometimes in states he didn't even have a ground game in, whereas sanders still seems largely incapable of pulling the turnout boost he's been promising and needing out of the proverbial hat. For all a lot of people are enthusiastic about bernie it's looking increasingly like he's just... not what the democrat voters want. Maybe that changes -- I'm still not sure if I swallow my dislike of old people in power and vote sanders or just write in 'not these geriatric shits' come our early voting next week, ferex -- but things just got a lot harder for the sanders campaign. They needed a stronger showing than anyone else on super tuesday pretty damn bad, and it didn't happen. They still had a strong one, but second place to Biden is just not a happy place to be

Next time around we just need to hire Jeff Probst to run the whole election. Throw all the candidates out on an island somewhere for a couple months. Put them through some physical and mental challenges.

Yes, I'm suggesting Survivor is a more reasonable method of choosing a winner to be president than our current electoral system.

No, I don't really think I'm joking.

Sounds like a plan

[sluissa]

Well, Bloomberg is out. Endorsed Biden.

[Naturegirl1999]

Just because someone used to be vice president doesn't mean their policies are good

[nenjin]

Well, Bloomberg is out. Endorsed Biden.

Well that didn't take long. Imagine what could have been done with all the money he spent in just a short time, only to ultimately be laughed away.
