Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Lenonis]

Yeah, I'm confused on that one. Was there ever any doubt that Sanders/Biden wouldn't endorse each other no matter who won? Like...I always viewed that as a given and don't remember seeing much, if any actual discussion on the topic that wasn't painfully hypothetical.

Yeah, I always thought the discussion would be about their supporters? What they would actually do has been entirely boringly predictable.

Glad Biden and Sanders are bigger people than the folks who have been dominating this subforum for the past few months, you included.

Look at the posts above you. How dare I expose the bad faith of BErnie-to-Trump posters. It's like they telegraphed their intentions over a year ago.

I also had some snarky fun in exposing their contradictions.

I also took aim at how Sanders and his twitter team enabled the worst of their BErnie to Trump fantasies. It wasnt his best moment.


But I've always said life is about moments. We all have bad moments, and we're all capable of better moments. Glad Bernie took stock of the current crises, and went for something better.

Anyways, good luck with the posters above. I have my doubts that your schtick will convince them. Odds are they keep this up until November.

Curious take.

Considering you've spent 90% of your energy the past few months on antagonizing Bernie supporters and the left-wing of the Democratic Party.

Your antagonizing posts might very well be the biggest reason why I've become more bitter about the Democratic Party and trust them a whole lot less than say half a year ago.

But, you are not a member of the Democratic Party. And, as far as I can tell, you've never been a member of the Democratic Party.

Though I'm not gonna lie, Warren still being out there without endorsing anyone is kind blowing my mind right now. The optics of that, for anyone who cares (which admittedly at the moment is probably very few people) are awful and I can totally see them biting her in the butt down the road.

Though I will say that I find it interesting that we still haven't heard from Warren in light of Sanders pulling out. She's the only major(ish) candidate left that hasn't endorsed Biden, unless I missed it.

Maybe she's just chilling until she gets that VP nomination.

Yeah, I do wonder what's going on and what the behind the scenes is.

If I had to guess she's had quite the falling out with Bernie and/or can't get past his base who has been relentless in tearing her down. She probably doesn't want to endorse Biden because of the lack of ideological alignment.

But...even that all being said...now that there is only 1 candidate there is no reason to why she shouldn't endorse and if she lets too much time go by she will be in real danger of harming her longer term prospects (if she has any) and if nothing else gives ammo to her next opponent for re-election.

I'd be a little surprised if Biden picks her up at VP. Not super surprised but a bit.

Same, I'm mostly just musing. I don't think she's especially unlikely, but there's a decent sized field of possible candidates for it. A lot probably depends on what exactly he wants to signal. Picking Warren would be a hat tip to progressives, but she's also old and comes from an uncompetitive state.

I think it depends on who Biden is getting advice from. VP picks can be kind of wild -- but usually they are someone who is more of an up-and-comer and less of an established leader. That plus the lack of state pickup really drops Warren down the list in my betting pool. You would get the progressive cred, however if Biden is considering Bernie's supporters the ones who are attacking him now are also the ones who turned on Warren so picking her would likely just alienate them further.

Of course I think they are likely a lost cause and Biden would be better to try to pick up other voters with his VP pick.

[Rukh]

they'll just find some way to blame bernie supporters just like they did last time and like they are doing now.

Your entire world view is about finding new ways to be the victim isn't it.

She's said plenty of positive stuff about Biden recently though. I think she was just trying hard to stay out of it until the dust settles.

Also, I wanted Warren to win the primary. I don't want her to be the VP pick. I think she's too old. need someone younger who can use this legacy and run for president on it. Also from what I hear, her senate seat isn't exactly safe.

This is from reddit:

Not everyone likes Biden, but we can all get behind Bye Don.

With everything going on don't think people will care she has been silent for a while.

Pretty sure it will be Stacy Abrams.

Sanders former press secretary for his campaign has...thoughts. That also just happen to come off a Tucker Carlson segment.

[Smitzelplix]

Wont matter for the Anti-Dem concern trolls.

Bernie Sanders just endorsed Joe Biden via live stream



Sanders said that his staff and Biden's staff have talked about forming task forces on health care, education, the economy, criminal justice, and education.

All these olive branches, oh my!

And many of the Bernie Sanders subreddits aren't talking about this and the ones that are talking about it are basically telling Bernie to go fuck himself because they won't vote for Biden despite Bernie's endorsement.

You could always just not post if you aren't interested in the election.

So basically as of right now Trump isn't leading in a single swing state and yet Biden securing the nomination is going to guarantee 4 more years of trump according to quite a few poster here.

I see you've learned a lot from 2016 and polls. What was that again? Oh yea Hilary polled at 99% to beat Trump. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Enjoy 4 more years since you basically voted Trump.

You are correct. The evidence has been proven 20 plus times I'm no fan of Trump The evidence for other more wild shit is in my Sig.

Nah, I provded the evidence, and you couldn't refute it. That's because it was your own words. Enjoy!!!

You mean this comment?

"So, you admit there is no double standard? I accept your apology.

Yes, I think a company should be legally allowed to refuse to serve black people. It would make them racist shitbags, but they should be free to be racist shitbags. And yes, they would be racist, and they should be free to be racist."

[Jehct]

Back to the OP. I will not vote Biden and not vote Trump. Unless someone can change my mind on Biden. Not sure who I will vote for.
