Get Steyer, Yang, and Gabbard the fuck off the stage.

I'll be missing out on this one due to work, but it sounds like it should be fun. Ten candidates is still too many imo.

Despite the rumors, Biden is still handily leading the race. Buttigieg is the only one who is really on the move, and he's still quite far back.

 

[Trotsky]

Hell, Klobuchar and Booker as well. They're done.

The more the merrier. They should have even more up on that stage. And yes, Biden is the nominee so it makes sense he would still be leading.

Looking forward to Tulsi torching a few more of these clowns.

Feel bad for Booker never getting traction. Good dude.

I feel like no one in real life ever talks about Biden. It's usually Warren, Sanders, hell even Pete. Yet he's always dominating these polls. I'll never understand.

Old people, dude. They don't talk about it or reason through their thinking. They just consistently vote for the worst fucking possible choice and go on with their day.

LOL!!!!!! I'll accept this explanation.

Yeah, it's pretty much that old people vote. Middle aged people sometimes vote, but not so reliably. Younger people just don't vote. And it's the middle aged and younger people who we hear talking politics.

Instead of "okay boomer" it should be "yes boomer I willingly do your bidding because I'm lazy"

 

[Kandyland]

Watching a bunch of rich Democrats talking about how they can relate to poor people and minorities. The cringe.

Honestly, I just tune in for the laugh. Check it out, they have not disappointed this year at all. While I'm drinking, it's funny to watch Kamala be drunk on stage too.

OH yeeeeeah, my 6th grade students in Poland are gonna get a super fun class tomorrow. Woohoo!

Well, I don't think that's a sufficient explanation.

The young people you hear talking politics do vote, but they are the exceptionally civically engaged 30% of their generation that vote out of that civic engagement. By the time a generation reaches retiree status, 70% of them vote, but that addition 40% does so mostly because they have nothing better to do than stew over gays and Muslims. A generation is always further left when it's the valedictorians and student body presidents voting.

tulsi was the only person in the DNC with honor enough to quit the DNC after it stole the nomination from sanders.

let’s not forget that. After she was fast tracked to be the new darling of the DNC.

Honor.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Hell, Klobuchar and Booker as well. They're done.

Two of the best candidates, though, and they'd both be good VP picks for the right president. Surprised that Klobuchar hasn't tried to take aim at Biden, as I'd think she could take some of his support, plus he's someone who probably wouldn't be interested in her as a VP anyway.
