    this is why process is so flawed. so Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina get to widdle out the candidates i was interested in for the Democratic nominee.

    It’s such a shitty system for exactly this reason. 

    Yeah, agreed both.  That, and the fact that only REALLY wealthy people ever have a shot at it.


    Well, Biden hasn’t been wealthy for the majority of his life.

    I really like Pete and hope he wins it all one day. But he was not winning this year and underperformed in the last two states.

    He stood up and did what is right for his party. We are staring at an outsider in the process of stealing the nomination simply because there are many more moderate candidates splitting the vote. 

    I’m in NY and the candidates spend five seconds here and we are bigger than the first four combined by an enormous amount. So yeah. The process stinks. 

    But this is about defeating trump, getting a bully out of the White House and saving Obamacare. And preventing the damage a 7-2 Court can do.

    Clinton wasn’t “really wealthy” nor was Obama. Biden isn’t either and nor is Bernie. Unless you’re comparing them to what income level exactly?

    I thought they all were.  Maybe not. 

    Well, compared to me they are but...  LOL... big deal!

    Pete did the right thing IMO. It was the logical thing to do to wait until a large black cohort could show him whether they were going to warm up to him even potentially. They didn’t. Klobuchar will have to confront that same reality soon based on her numbers.

    lol, yeah that is pretty divisive. Not sure why Chuck needed to fire him over that though. Why not just accept that Flav doesn't want to be apart of the Sanders endorsement, take Public Enemy's name off the bill, and just perform as "Chuck D"?

    Throw their support behind Biden. What are you going to do when Bernie is not the nominee or loses the general?

    Start to finally play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild I think.

    And mourn the world for Trump.
