Do it in a school for the real authentic experience.

I don’t really believe this. Trump says a lot of stupid things to stay in the headlines, it makes his followers think the media is against him and nothing they say is true. Remember when he wanted to lock her up? Or build the wall.

In saying that, I also have to say this is one of the biggest things I wouldn’t want to be wrong about.

I mean I lived through it. It’s also to be seen on the Wikipedia page. Initially Buttigieg was doing really well, but “for some reason” dropped out and endorsed Biden. Later on, just before the super Tuesday, also Warren and Bloomberg dropped out and endorsed Biden.

At that time it felt more dramatic (probably because media was very anti-Bernie), which is not visible in the statistics.

Yeah probably it would be a bad thing. Republicans try to mobilize the idiot vote. To get that, you can be unhinged, but you alienate the more reasonable voters, the educated city people that the dems absolutely need.

Although it would be interesting to see two unhinged parties try to fight it out to get the idiot vote. I assume Italian political culture to be something like that, all the smarter Italians I’ve ever spoken to seem extremely frustrated by their system.

Wasn’t 2020 the year when all of the primary candidates but Biden just decided to drop out before super Tuesday in order to not split the vote against Bernie? In my opinion it was worse than 2016.

I think he’s referring to the time when the DNC legit fucked over Bernie Sanders. We all saw it, yet the D voters in the US sucked it up and voted for Biden, only to see the shit show known as election 2024.

Well that’s the problem, innit? The orange shit heap will get a good chunk of votes from the idiots no matter what. So the other candidate needs to be an A grade to attract the rest of the votes, otherwise the pile of feces will win. At this point it’s obvious the diarrhea puddle can do whatever he wants and still get his share of votes, so asking why he can do and say whatever and get away with it is pointless.

Source? Or are we down to republican level of accepting losing?

“The working class thinks we are corporate elitists, what could we do about it? Hey, how about we take the republican corporate elitists to join us as well, that’ll show 'em!”

Anyway, it’s a good moment to celebrate that the country is over.

Bernie beating Trump is a nice fantasy, but it wouldn’t happen either.

You don’t know this. The DNC doesn’t know this (otherwise, why did Harris take such a beating?). There certainly is an argument for that, but it’s no way guaranteed. Sure, he might lose some finance bros in NY, but Bernie would definitely speak exactly to the people in the swing states. People who look at Trump to fix their economic problems without anything concrete.

Instead of a red mirage, we got a blue stayathomeandnotvote. Harris got 10-13M votes less than Biden in 2020, and even Trump seems to be getting less votes than the last time (counting still ongoing). I was told there would be a record turnout in this election.
