Four, Gabbard got the other two.

Probably figured that was the easiest place to go in order to be able to say she got delegates.

Also, Axios is reporting that Bloomberg is dropping out and endorsing Biden.

I'm just glad this is proof that you can't just buy the election. As much as I am wary of Biden being president at least he's only spent 16 million on his campaign.

Sanders should not have run for President in the first place. He should have been an early endorsement for Warren or Booker and sat out. I swear the Bernie Bros are worse this time around than they were in 2016.

If Trump wins the election it will be because Bernie Bros and conservative-astroturfers make Democrats not come to the voting booths just because their main pick didn't win.

I expect endless complaints about how choosing the lesser evil is still evil and that not voting at all is the best option because they didn't get Bernie.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

To which I would say two things: Ruth Bader Ginsburg is old and there are a lot of federal court vacancies.

Give McConnell another two years to jam those courts full of conservative wingnuts and it won't matter if you win a sweeping majority in 2024, everything you want to do will be blocked by the judiciary.

Bernie Bros are amazingly bad at the long game. If it doesn't get done NOW, then people responsible for getting it done are always just as right wing as the worst Republicans to them. I've lost track of how many of them think Nancy Pelosi is no better than a Republican because she can't just snap her fingers to undo Trump's fascism, for example.

These are the kind of people who would rather everything burn to the ground if they can't have their 78 year old Jesus.

Tumblr is in absolute meltdown mode, and the "dirtbag left" is out in force.

I've submitted one leftist incel involved, and I've still not yet submitted the person who used an Invader Zim meme to advocate beating Joe Biden to death with a stick, the person who said all the Democrats are ACTUALLY FAR RIGHT WING EXCEPT 78 YEAR OLD JESUS, a person who called Biden's black voters "stupid, ingrateful blacks" who don't "get how much Bernie would make their lives better", not to mention all the "THEY RIGGED IT!" conspiracy theories.

Glenn Beck chimed in on the Democratic primary race at CPAC.

Quote
You can tell by the people he surrounds himself with. Have you looked at that, the self-proclaimed communist, the founders and leaders of Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street--the new SS, the modern versions of the Weather Underground terrorist organisation, are all on his campaign staff! These are not grassroot groups of Democrats; they are Marxist revolutionaries who believe in nothing short of the complete overthrow of the United States and destruction of the Constitution and the free market system. And please, let us stop calling them "Bernie Bros", because they are not my brother. They are not something that is funny. They are Bernie Bolsheviks! They are Bernie Brownshirts! That's what they are. And their revolution will result in death and misery, another Holodomor or another Holocaust or whatever we call the next great socialist atrocity.

Then I got this gem in response from a right-winger:

Ahh the old 'Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims'. Well until they weren't (hint it was never true).

I like how he refers to the 'brownshirts' conveniently forgetting who it was chanting 'Jews will not replace us' at Charlottesville.

You know, I think this election has demonstrated that there are currently three prominent factions in the Democratic Party, each represented by one of the last three candidates in the running: the center left (Biden), the identitarian left (Warren), and the universalist economic left (Sanders). The candidate who gets the nom will probably be the one whose supporters will be seen as determining the course the Democrats take this election cycle.
Stop the timeline, I wanna get off.

Well Warren dropped out. Tulsi's still there. Where does she fit on the faction of the democratic party?

It's no surprise that Warren's out. Just wish I would stop seeing Bernie supporters mock Warren supporters for switching to Biden because Sanders and his base is so fucking toxic. Even if supporters didn't matter, they're actively hurting their own cause.

Tulsi is the "alt right idiot trying to pretend she isn't a totalitarian cheerleader."
