Americans are fucked. Another 4 years of Trump.

I warned all of you. After Brexit 2.0: Electric Leavealoo, I told ya'll we'd get another four years of Trump.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm expecting to NOT be. Buckle in, Americans. We're on the Good Ol' Days before 9/11 vs FUCKING INVINCIBLE ride now.

Bernie can now fight for his ideas outside of the election. The current crisis is tailor made for his leadership and the issues he espouses. Fighting over delegates and amid this crisis is a fool's errand. Bernie made the right move, especially as Americans are dying under the "leadership" of Trump. Now, more than ever, Democrats need to coalesce around a candidate, "moderate" be damned.

Already all over the internet we are seeing nothing but "congrats to Trump for winning 2020." Just mass defeatism and foregone conclusions when, last I remember, Hillary was supposed to beat Trump by a landslide and look what happened. I don't like Joe Biden but if he's the nominee against Trump I will vote for him. After the past month, if you're still considering not voting as this shit mongler literally kills your fellow citizens because your candidate didn't win there's a letter I'd like to give you and it starts and ends with L.

It's just Bernie fans who are taking it rough and imagining some form of vindication if and when Biden loses. It was always gonna be emotional when Bernie announced he was dropping out, give them a bit to work through it.

Not taking any dumb bets, besides I'm not sure if Biden or Trump even make it to the end of the month.
With that said the follow up line of trolling for Trump here is simple.

AOC endorses Biden = "Wow, AOC betrayed you Bernie Bro's, totally rigged complete sell outs!"

AOC doesn't endorse Biden = "Wow, the Bernie Bro's keep sabotaging you Joe so much for party unity!"

In any case Trump is forcing them to take a stand. The question is will they take the bait.

[Mandark]

nintex, is aoc going to endorse biden or not?

I think she's going to move around the issue by saying that everyone should do their best to defeat Trump.

Historically they already took a bunch of low quality troll bait hook line and sinker, so these people are pretty bad at evading the Trump/GOP troll traps.

There's emotional and then there's pretending like Trump isn't a dictator.

A month ago after Super Tuesday, okay. That's a reasonable reaction. February? I acted the same.

But after the past three weeks? Federal agencies taking medical supplies meant for hospitals amid a pandemic. Saying that 200k American deaths would be fine. Peddling his pet quick fixes and cures. The mass misinformation that is literally killing people. The dismissiveness and complete lack of leadership.

Nah.

There's emotional and then there's remembering the petulant child giving daily briefings that just a few weeks ago considered opening the country back up just in time for Easter because he felt like it.

[Tripon]

AOC already been on record that she'll support the dem nominee whomever it is months ago. IMO, there's no national Dem that is going to go against the party because they don't want to be seen as a reason why there's no 'unity'.

Indifference/inaction may be another thing, like actually actively campaigning. Bit of a catch 22 since even if Sanders, AOC, or another progressive Dem campaigns hard for Biden, if/when he loses (Donald Trump is teflon, I don't think his supporters care whatever happens, they'll still vote for him), they'll still get blamed by the 'establishment' wing because they need to tell their own donors why it isn't their fault.

[Himu]

Trump says he will deny aid to states whose governors don't offer fealty to him during a pandemic that has potential to kill hundreds of thousands.

Gosh, I wonder who to vote for.

So much has changed since Super Tuesday that the "congrats Trump" contingent feel like they're on another planet to me.

[Nintex]

Does that count as an endorsement? I would say no until everyone who's actually important endorses the candidate and she throws her hat in the ring to toe the party line.

The big question is, will Obama finally back Biden?

you'd think cindi might have sympathy for a nonsensical and over the top emotional reaction.

Based on what I posted technically yes, no?

I have sympathy for it but it's literally the only take all over every social media feed and including here on the last page. Nearly every single take is "Bernie dropped out? Congrats Trump." It's more than Bernie supporters saying it too.

You're right, it's been a done deal for a month now. But we're talking about the die-hards, who post about this shit ad nauseam and get personally invested in their candidate. It's like when they pulled the plug on the Dreamcast: a long time coming but it still hurt for Sega fans.

They've got seven months until the general election (jesus christ) to cope so I don't mind giving them a grace period of a couple days. If they never come around then they were never going to an energy is best spent elsewhere.

Trump is doing debate and messaging practice with the press using his daily mini white house rallies which are aired on every channel.

Joe is huddled in his home with a podcast that lags a week(?) behind actual events.

[Mandark]

"messaging practice"

even the posts you don't mean to be fanfiction are fanfiction

Yeah, Cindi, it like, just happened. And thinking Biden won’t win isn’t because I’m going to ever vote for Trump.

[Steve Contra]

Obama is going to endorse Biden, they’ll do some campaign stops together, pundits who spent high school in the debate club and furiously masturbating to their copies of Primary Colors instead of getting high will write “feels like the band is getting back together” as Obama wheels Grandpa Joe into the stage in bumfuck depressed steel town #201. David Brooks and Bret Stephens will write about how Bernie pushed Biden too far to left for their delicate sensibilities so they will have to do the honorable thing and sit this one out. It’s all going to suck.

[Himu]

You're assuming that it's just people that support Bernie doing this. It's also Trumpers. People are treating the entire thing like a foregone conclusion. Check Trump's "thanks Elizabeth Warren!!!" tweet and the responses.

[Mandark]

Bret Stephens is going to write a column about Louis CK and cancel culture when daily COVID19 deaths top 2000.

Any bernie bro trotting this out should be laughed out of the room, full stop.

[Himu]

I need to live to see the potential future if Trump loses and the reactions after months of "congrats Trump!!!". It would give me so much life to see that shit. It would be the reverse of 2016 and it would be glorious. How would his fanbase spin it? God, I can only imagine.

What I've learned about Biden is that you shouldn't underestimate him. That debate he had with Bernie was a wakeup call.

[Nintex]

Here's a #winning strategy for the Democrats a month ago

March:
- Suspend the primaries for 'all' candidates until after the summer citing COVID-19 fears (while Trump was still saying it was a hoax)
- Ask Trump and the GOP to delay the election to May 2021 for health/safety reasons and to allow for the primaries to take place
- Appeal to Trump via the media to suspend his campaign and fundraising until after the crisis is over (he won't)

July:
- Citing improved conditions move ahead with the primaries earlier than planned
- Ask Trump and the GOP to move the election forward to February or March 2021 given the new situation (Trump won't have it -> call him a dictator clinging to power)

Election is held in May as per Trump insistence when the dust is settled and the outcome of the emergency aid, virus spread etc. have all been researched and mapped out.
Big chance the recession has set in and Trump can no longer spend himself out of it, meanwhile his supporters are broke because he kept stalking them for money not to mention the final tally of COVID-19 is in.

He obviously loses after promising everyone another economic BOOM and quick recovery that doesn't happen.

You're going to inspire Nintex's next fanfiction post with shit like this.

I think benji's "Dems should vote to build the wall" has just been dethroned by Nintex's "Dems should give Trump an extra half year in office."

Mandark, Nintex won't play along. It's time to do what everyone does under quarantine and call your ex. Pick something we can disagree on and I promise I'll engage for at least two pages.

https://twitter.com/YesCalifornia/status/1246911760977838081

[Mandark]

Probably. I said that the dem coalition won't recover from this long term but that requires a force inside the party that consistently pushes it apart. I don't think the Justice Dems or associated orgs want that or can even achieve that with their current strength. There also aren't social-democratic or socialist parties strong enough to soak up significant amounts of support as well. I've seen a lot of different bernie voters, and you probably know how they'd vote better than I do, but even the hardline ones might have had enough of trump to eat that democratic party shitpile.

It's basically Duverger's Law plus the parties being more ideologically coherent than they used to be.

Third parties are a dead end and the GOP's still the GOP, despite Tucker Carlson's totally sincere efforts to remake it into a workers party. There isn't a big issue that crosscuts parties the way that civil rights or even abortion used to.
