It's a quid pro quo apparently with Klobuchar and Buttigieg. A lot going on.

I’m not voting for Joe Biden 

[Lonewulfeus]

Nah fuck that, they didn’t learn their lesson in 2016.  I’ll vote down ticket in the event that Biden gets the nom but I won’t vote for him.

[nachobro]

at trump for mocking people but biden called a dude "fats"

[EightBitNate]

I’m from Illinois so my vote doesn’t matter in the GE, but I absolutely do not envy those of you who may have to choose between Biden and Trump in November

[thisismyusername]

Nah fuck that, they didn’t learn their lesson in 2016.  I’ll vote down ticket in the event that Biden gets the nom but I won’t vote for him.

[CatsCatsCats]

Who didn't learn what lesson?

If Biden wins the nomination it can only be because he amassed enough votes. "The DNC" isn't pulling levers in the voting booth for anyone.

If voters in the Democratic primary really favor Joe Biden, you're going to help Trump by not voting against him?

Yes and hopefully it completely destroys the Democratic Party

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Chris Matthews retiring before the commie takes over.

Joe Biden is losing his mind. Hilary was a shit choice, it’s why she lost. If the leadership and voters of this party keep sending shit candidates against Trump, it needs a major revamp.

Then they win 4 more years of trump, why should I save them from their stupid decisions.  Biden will crash and burn against trump, I don’t know that Bernie is a lock but I can’t think of anyone jumping at the chance to vote for Biden.  The DNC has made it clear that they have a preference and are absolutely putting their thumb on the scale this primary season, as is their right, but I don’t have to like it and I don’t have vote for him.  I have no faith that an establishment Democratic candidate has the ability or the desire to fix the biggest problems we face today and I’m sure I’m not alone in that regard.  I voted for Hillary in 2016 and I didn’t feel like she was a bad choice, her record was decent and her experience was very good.  But Biden’s record is garbage and he’s long past his expiration date.  I’d almost rather they lost to Trump twice and implode so maybe a better party rises from its ashes.

I still believe that most people in the party aren’t stupid enough to send Biden in to fail, but we’ll see. If they do and he does, well isn’t AOC eligible in 2024? I think that she heads up the Bernie mantle and tries to save the Democratic Party from the status quo capitalism first shit

[naff]

in lieu of 'murca changing the political system completely into something akin to MMP which is never going to happen, your best option is to vote with your heart for your party nominee and vote for the lesser evil in the general. might seem correct to uphold your ideals via non vote, but i can't think of a real life situation where mass voter abstention has led to positive change. imo, you're just fucking yourselves and further consolidating power in the right wing.

Chris Matthews RIP

[CatsCatsCats]

The DNC hasn't made anything clear btw. Has Tom Perez made a single public statement this year besides the fact that Iowa was a clusterfuck?

There's no indication that the Democratic National Committee has any kind of internal preference, certainly not one that's guiding their actions.

Pete and Amy clearly did have their own preferences as individuals, but what evidence is there that anyone is pulling strings behind the scenes? No one can force a sitting US Senator to drop out if she doesn't want to.

That’s stupid, you’re stupid. Has the DNC made a statement of preference? No. Is there any reason for them to drop out right before Super Tuesday other than try to prevent Bernie from getting the nom? Absolutely not

[Lonewulfeus]

Lol, you can’t be that naive.

[CatsCatsCats]

He’s just a neo lib troll, fret not

What I’m saying is that’s a stupid thing to say without exploring why

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

Biden totally bought pete.

"the exposure he'll get to this country"

This shit is straight up a pete endorsement.

Fox is hilarious, the DNC is RIGGING IT with a CORRUPT COUP against BERNIE, who is a COMMUNIST, who took his BRIDE to the SOVIET UNION and wants to replace the FOURTH OF JULY with MAY DAY

It's sad the DNC is already trying to position pete for his presidency and doesn't give a fuck at turd bucket running up the board to win reelection.

pathetic.

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/story/2020-03-02/vote-joe-biden-to-unite-america

On Feb. 20, The San Diego Union-Tribune Editorial Board was the first in the nation to endorse former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg in the 2020 presidential election. The next week, three others — at The (South Carolina) State, El Paso Times and Orlando Sentinel — did as well. Then Sunday night, Buttigieg exited the race, saying his path to victory had closed after he failed to match strong Iowa and New Hampshire showings in either Nevada or South Carolina.

Buttigieg’s eloquent exit sent a clear message to Democrats that it’s time for the party to coalesce behind a leader who can win the White House just as his campaign sent a clear message that it’s time for America to have an improved global standing, an economy that works for everyone and just basic integrity. His name remains on the California ballot, but voting for him now would be a wasted vote.

With California and 14 other states and territories set to vote on Tuesday — and more than a third of the delegates in the Democratic nomination at stake — our board was left in the unusual position of deciding whether to recommend Californians choose another candidate at this late stage — whether to make a second recommendation in the 2020 Democratic campaign when some boards aren’t making any.

Just last week, The Arizona Republic announced it would not issue endorsements in any race, in part because “more and more of today’s readers see candidate endorsements as an intrusion on the electoral process.” The decision followed similar ones last month by the Concord (New Hampshire) Monitor and The Dallas Morning News, which also stopped making endorsements.

In our view, this year’s presidential campaign was too important not to offer our insights.

Our hope is that they spark conversations about what society values in public servants and public service. That’s why our Buttigieg endorsement was so long that it took up a full page in the newspaper.

So should we recommend another candidate in the 2020 presidential race now? The answer is yes.

We praised Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar highly in our endorsement but then saw her perform worse than Buttigieg and Warren in Nevada and South Carolina. A day after Buttigieg quit the race, Klobuchar ended her campaign and endorsed Biden.

That’s because Biden has been ascendant. He’s coming off his finest week in three presidential campaigns dating to 1988. He finished second — admittedly by a lot — to Sanders in Nevada, had his best debate of the campaign, then won South Carolina by a wider margin than he’d lost Nevada. His victory came days after an endorsement by the state’s popular U.S. Rep. James Clyburn and Clyburn’s criticism that Biden needed to “overhaul” a campaign that had been lackluster.

It’s partly because Clyburn’s endorsement made such a difference that we offer a new suggestion ourselves. Here is our logic:

1) Our concerns about Bloomberg and Sanders are unchanged.

2) While we’re impressed with Warren’s intellect and debate prowess and have no doubt she would skewer Trump on stage as she did Bloomberg, we are skeptical of both her path to victory and her call for an end to private health insurance, which many Americans seem fearful of abandoning at this moment.

3) A vote for Biden is the most tactical vote against Trump.

What’s certain is Sanders supporters won’t be deterred. They feel this is their moment after their candidate came so close in 2016 and after he has rallied big crowds during this election cycle. Supporters of other candidates are just as passionate. That’s great. That’s democracy in action.

Our suggestion then is aimed at undecided voters who control the fate of the Democratic Party and the nation.

iden showed in South Carolina he can unify the party’s moderate wing and appeal to African American voters to build a coalition, just as Sanders motivated Latinos in Nevada. But Biden’s eight years working with Barack Obama will give him credibility with many voters, including African Americans. And as both vice president and a U.S. senator for 36 years, Biden laps the field in foreign policy experience. There’s little question he can go toe to toe with Trump in the general election. There’s less question he’d have more credibility handling crises like the coronavirus outbreak or a tumbling stock market than Trump, whose habit of twisting the truth and pointing fingers cuts against him when Americans just want facts and reassurances.

Biden’s speaking gaffes and old-school politics and behavior may continue making some people nervous about his candidacy, but he hasn’t had a recent heart attack or refused to release medical records like Sanders, and when Biden needed it most — after his impressive South Carolina win — his speech was stellar.

He sounded at ease. He invoked unity, strength and a comeback mentality that should appeal to many Americans, including California voters who haven’t decided who to vote for yet. “All those of you who have been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign,” he said.

It was one night, one speech. But it was formidable.

[OnlyRegret]

me last year:

we're getting biden

there's zero enthusiasm for biden

biden is 100% not going to be the nominee

also:

I'm actually quite happy my meanest man Buttigieg is polling low.

Let them underestimate you. Then you win.

tucker compared bernie to daddy trump just recently. he's on the train.

[benjipwns]

Tucker and The Dobbs have the least concerns about COMRADE BERNIE'S SOCIALISM and seem to like borderline trolling when possible, Hannity is overly serious and thinks it's the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION DEBATE EVER, Trish Regan is newer to me but seems to lean towards the Hannity side

I get the impression that Tucker is closer to me in assuming anything we may dislike about Bernie is going to get DC'd to death anyway, especially if the GOP holds a house of Congress, while he can be a foreign policy positive since Congress and everyone has given up trying to restrain the executive branch. Or it might cause Congress to get back to their job on that front. (lol ya rite, if Trump hasn't)
