The 2020 thread....

I’m with Flavor Flav!!


You really can’t call it Public Enemy without him

I recently watched a Public Enemy concert from Sydney in 2008 that was streaming on some free station, and Flavor Flav was not performing with them at that show. It was a little weird to watch them play with a full band, yet use Flav's pre-recorded vocals.

Also, I think the band were the only black people at the show.

So the two who said they were voting for Mayor Pete before he dropped out...was that serious or just trollin'
Also, what happens if you voted early for someone who dropped out...I guess you can't change that (not for me, just curious)

The concert was in Sydney...so not really that earth-shattering of a reveal

Missing FF from PE is like not having the bass track...somewhat critical to their overall sound, but Chuck D is the mastermind

My entire ballot is filled out, I just hadn't marked my Presidential candidate yet.  There are 20 people who qualified in CA, and even if they drop out of the race, they are still in the ballot.

Had I marked Kamala, Castro or anyone else, it would have been a wasted vote .

a wasted vote .

i don't get the concept of a "wasted vote".  there is no such thing, all votes have significance.  a vote for buttigieg or harris still signals to them that they have support, that their campaigns had traction (just not enough).  in 2024, you don't think candidates won't look back at how much residual support they had?

that's more of a silver lining
a vote for someone who isn't actaully running seems like a wasted vote
again...RANKED CHOICE VOTING would solve that problem (Unless you have Gravel, Booker, Delaney and Bennet)

So, in this simulator, the Klobuchar to Biden thing is very significant...

Just because Klobachar told me to vote for X candidate does not mean her former followers will.

Talk about overzealous Bernie canvasser knocking on doors with secret knock and jiggling doorknob

NKOTB?

If so pretty sure you just lost a vote...

buttigieg and klobuchar out, both endorsing biden... other Dem luminaries are flocking to joe...

conclusion: DNC brass pulled rank and got the moderate lane in battle formation against the leftists. the machine has awoken.  make me change my mind.

- Amy Klobuchar will end 2020 presidential campaign and endorse Joe Biden
- Buttigieg to endorse Biden at rally Monday night
- Biden picks up key endorsements from Harry Reid and Susan Rice

I am shocked the Democratic Party wants a Democrat who has fought for the party for 50 years, as a Senator and Vice President, to be President over a socialist who has never lifted one finger for the Democratic Party!!


As shocked as I was in 2016

Of course it didn’t help that Sanders started running his mouth last week - feeling his britches I guess- and pissed away Florida

Sometimes I agree with Kos

lol. well said :-)  there is always a chance the DNC sat back and let the people decide who should be nominated - craziness, i know...

[hutch]

Come on don’t make stuff up! Klobuchar and Pete endorsing Biden is just politics


It’s like you are trying to argue there shouldn’t be politics in politics


You remind me of that scene in Casablanca


“I’m shocked to find gambling is going on...shocked”


All Sanders and his people do is trash the Democratic Party and somehow you expect something different?


Read the Kos piece then come talk to me

The reality is nobody in the Democratic Party likes Bernie..why would they?
