And the bottom half of mermaids are fish

Do you even pay attention to the podcasts you brainwash yourself with? Chapo Trap House has said multiple times recently that Democrats are finally getting the message that their base has shifted massively against Israel.

You helped elect Trump

Why can I taste bleach then?

People are superstitious and would never allow a 13th month

I can only smell them if I sniff a crushed one up close. It’s been a long time - I don’t step on bugs on purpose.

That’s fine for the primaries

We should have had a primary. I’ll never forgive Biden for that.

I also don’t forgive people who knew better and still didn’t vote for the only viable alternative to Trump.

We have to put together a winning coalition to get these monsters out of power, but that coalition isn’t going to line perfectly with your or my politics. If it did, it would alienate a lot of people to our right, which is probably at least 90% of the country in both our cases. Somebody has to hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils.

We didn’t try it in 2024. How do you rate the results of that one?

Yeah we probably disagree on what right wing means. I hope you’re not throwing your vote away every year, because that is not helpful and we need help right now!

What makes up the bulk of the filling? Is there a veggie dog in there?

In a two party system, a small tent is no tent. We can move the Democrats left. It’s happening now, in a big way, on the Israel issue.

One of them has to be wrong.

In any case, the specific states from which the superdelegates come is arbitrary. They were an unfair practice regardless, and I hope they remain inconsequential from now on.

I voted for Bernie too, and was disappointed (especially in 2020), and angry that the party clearly wanted to put their thumb on the scale for Clinton and Biden. On the other hand, Bernie didn’t come close to winning the popular vote across all states in the 2016 primary, and there was no way I wasn’t going to vote for Clinton against Trump that November.

You’re right. I just edited my previous comment. The articles don’t agree. I’m inclined to think the WV specific article is the accurate one, in which case, you’d be right: Clinton got 19 delegates total to Bernie’s 18

Well shit, that settles it. I’m never voting again. Let MAGA burn it all down.

Wikipedia. The second one has a “Maps” section where you can see the total delegate count for both of them in every state.

Edit: I see now that there is a discrepancy between the WV article and the national one. In the first article, the table shows Clinton getting all 8 superdelegates like you said, while the map in the second article shows it as 20-17 for Bernie

Well, you see…

DK, Donkey Kong. He’s the leader of the bunch, you know him well. He’s finally back to kick some tail. His coconut gun can fire in spurts. If he shoots ya, it’s gonna hurt! He’s bigger, faster, and stronger, too. He’s the first member of the DK crew.

Bernie won 18 delegates and got 2 superdelegates (20 total). Clinton won 11 delegates and got 6 superdelegates (17 total). Bernie won WV.

If you argue that superdelegates are unfair, I agree. There was enough pushback against them that, in 2018, the DNC changed the rules so that superdelegates can’t vote on the first ballot anymore.

This is really getting into the weeds, and there are many other ways that the Democrats are not ideal, but none of it changes the fact that allowing Republicans to obtain power is the worst case scenario. We’re seeing how that plays out right now.

She didn’t

I tried googling his “Ocasio 64” jersey, and all I came up with was articles about the time AOC streamed a Donkey Kong 64 marathon.

Bernie got 18 delegates to Clinton’s 11. What do you mean Clinton won the state?
