Psst hey Bernie supporters, come on in, we need to have a talk

I know it hurts, but time to take a look at the big picture, and at this point you need to decide are you ready to fight for tomorrow or do you want to burn it down.

I have been there, almost 58, my voting history goes back to 1980.

In 1980, my choice in the Primaries lost.
In 1984, my choice in the Primaries lost.
In 1988, my choice in the Primaries lost.
In 1992, my choice in the Primaries lost.
In 1996, my choice in the Primaries lost.
In 2000, my choice in the Primaries lost.
In 2004, my choice in the Primaries lost.
In 2008, my choice in the Primaries won. FUCKING FINALLY, after an ofer seven start finally got a win.
In 2012, won again
In 2016, back to losing

You want to know what happened in 2020, my choice for the primaries lost again.

FOR FUCK SAKE!!! I have a less than 2 in 10 chance on getting what I want. LESS THAN 20 FUCKING PERCENT!!!!

Now in 84 and 96 I got a bit pissy and couldn't support the Dem candidate. 96 was basically a throw away because Clinton was going to win anyway, but still a mistake on my part. From 2000 on I got it, there is no Democrat that could possibly be worse than the Repuke candidate. And you know what, I was right.

So I understand the hurt from losing, what I can't understand is the logic that makes one say that there was no difference. Even when I didn't support the Dem, I never, and I mean I FUCKING NEVER, thought the repuke candidate was an equal. In 84 I voted for the lady next to me, in 96 I voted for my 13 year old nephew. Throw away vote, yes, but in both cases I was in States that my vote didn't matter.

The choice is easy, and the choice is yours.

One funny and fulfilling part of tonight

There are a whole bunch of anti-Democracy, anti-American, worthless pieces of shit who listen to Rush and tRump and went out and voted for Bernie as a part of operation chaos, and the ignorant cock suckers still lost.

From Rufus Dog to all of them.. you are disgusting human beings and at your core, you are losers.

Three days ago the MoFo had never won a Primary

After tonight he may have 10 wins. Any way you slice it, that is amazing and mind boggling.

So I have been undecided since Harris dropped. Nina Turner flipped me

California voter. Voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary. Mainly to push Clinton further left. As of 12 hours ago I was going with my heart and Warren. This morning Turner got on MSNBC and was straight up obnoxious. So she converted me. To a Biden supporter. Never had him above three, at best, of my choices. Time to unite.

Message to Turner, best not to belittle other Dems. For the last four years I have to get up and see an obnoxious asshole on my TV. I don’t want to hear him nor you for the next four years.

Off to update my choice.

COVID-19.... will it impact Super Tuesday voting?

Someone here posted something yesterday on how when the population is comfortable then they seem to take risks on Republican candidates. When the shit inevitably hits the fan then they flip to Dems. Main point is the public feels Govt is in the way until things go to shit, then turn to Dems to fix the issues.

Could something similar play out in the Democratic Primaries?
