2020 US Election

[goDel]

Bloomberg dropping out will have a bigger impact than Warren leaving.

If these numbers from Texas are representative in any way - and Bloomberg would drop out (assuming these votes will go to Biden). Well, the math is clear.

 

Typically though, the whites 30-44 bracket goes for Sanders/Warren. Guess which bubble we're in?

Age and race divide Biden and Sanders in Texas

Vote share for each candidate by race and age in Texas, according to preliminary exit polls

Black 30-44	3	49	8	—	30	9
Black 45-64	9	68	12	—	12	4
Black 65+	6	62	26	—	7	4
White 18-29	5	9	3	—	69	12
White 30-44	10	13	4	1	48	23
White 45-64	17	34	12	1	24	14
White 65+	12	44	19	1	13	11
Latino 18-29	8	10	13	—	66	5
Latino 30-44	8	14	10	2	55	9
Latino 45-64	9	36	20	1	30	7

Sticking the fork in Bernie, would be my guess.

Nah, Biden's the nominee, we good. He gets the swing states Bernie doesn't. If Bernie was the nominee you'd be hearing a lot more about Cuba you didn't before and he'd lose Florida. Bam. Focus on the feeling of getting rid of Trump and having a more cooperative environment for a progressive agenda because that's how we move forward now. It's not bad at all. Just vote against Trump. Life goes on. 

people are literally dying here and elsewhere, its very bad

This will be true forever no matter who is president, yes. Things get worse if we don't win in November. I like winning.

Beating Trump and getting back on track is not really Trumpian, no. It's our one fucking job.

Yeah, Biden is also very social. Have you seen how he smiles into the camera?

[dingformung]

How likely or unlikely is it that US elections are manipulated? Unlike a lot of other countries the US uses some dodgy computer apps for voting, not paper and pencil, right?

sometimes well meaning ignorance can be more dangerous than mendacious buffoonery. Sanders plan is to shutter all US nuclear plants within 10 years, cancel all licences for new nuclear immediately, and ban fracking. this would lead to the continued use and revival of coal power, not only ruining any chance of the US becoming carbon neutral any time soon, but increasing air pollution and deaths from lung cancer and other diseases (including neurological development problems caused by heavy metal poisoning). killing the US nuclear industry would have far wider repercussions than just keeping up US emissions though, the rest of the world needs US know-how if it's going to decarbonise at the required rate to keep shit below 2c warming. we need to be churning out fleets of SMRs and micro-reactors over the next couple of decades. and fracking isn't ideal, but natural gas is the least bad fossil fuel, by a significant degree, and vital in helping with the roll-out of renewables thanks to intermittency. we'll need to keep gas around at a minimum until all the coal plants have been shuttered, and probably longer - until we have sufficient load-following capacity to replace it.

lol @ thinking I'm a Trump supporter. you've lost the plot zeff, I think you need to have a lie down.

Fracking gas isn't better than otherwise produced gas. You basically pump a complex mixture of chemicals into the ground without having any knowledge what that does on long term just to gain a very small amount of gas. It's better to use natural gas reservoirs than to poison the ground water with fracking methods.

And you know, if you're a country and love free markets, then why do you need to sanction others if they don't want to buy your overpriced fracking gas? What does that have to do with free markets?
