It's time the democrats have a primary where the winner isn't preordained. Even with Obama, Hillary was "preordained" the winner in 2008, only to have everyone be surprised that an electable candidate got nominated. Same thing happened with Bill Clinton in '92, where the "preordained" candidate dropped out (ironically due to an affair) and Bill Clinton took his place. Come to think of it, that is how Obama got his senate seat. Someone cheated on 7 of 9 and suddenly Illinois has a black senator.

Anyways, just let us vote.

I think it is as good time as any to introduce everyone to the four theives vinegar collective. Their diy drug making system is only as safe as the people using it are careful - but if kennedy running the show, probably be as safe as corporate.

One quote from last night stuck with me (though I can't remember who said it): "Republicans have been trying to grow their party for 4 years. Democrats have only been trying to grow their party for 4 months."

Either they run into the filibuster in the senate and it stops most of this, or we finally do away with the filibuster and when the democrats come in to clean up after 2/4 years of disaster, we don't have the filibuster stopping all the good ideas the democrats are suppose to support.

I seen to remember a bunch of 14th amendment lawsuits that got shut down by SCOTUS a few days before primaries started.

Trump: "What do you advise I say on abortion?"

Trump advisor: "Just... just stop talking about abortion."

Trump, 10 minutes later to a journalist: "Stop talking about abortion!"

People: "We don't want old!" Biden: "I still got this!" Debate. "Maybe I don't." Harris: "I'm not old!" People: "Good enough!"

In 2016, Trump needed to win three states that were coin flips to win the race. With that, pollsters said he had a 1 in 8 chance. Trump took those coins, glued them together (the states had correlated outcomes) and then flipped the 3-coins-glued-together and got all three to land heads. So instead of a 1 in 8, it was a 1 in 2.

I thought the 13th amendment of 1812 didn't pass?
