i know you’re good at math, so you understand the concept of a single option, yes? A/B.

we’re dealing with a binary choice here, so when you call the better candidate “a runny porridge” you become the clever ally of your own gravediggers.

i understand that maybe there could be a better system etc etc but that world does not exist. we only have THIS world. and in this particular world i’d rather break my fast with runny porridge than with radioactive turds.

i used to have runny porridge for breakfast actually, back in the day. it wasn’t ideal but didn’t kill me.

i am serious. do this experiment in the morning: in one bowl a runny porride. in the other some fresh dog turds with a sprinkle of plutonium. choose breakfast.

in my ideal world there would also be no covid and i’d have fresh eggs daily. in this world however i’m eating dehydrated potato with canned chili for dinner and i’m glad for it because it beats covid ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you have a good brain and lofty ideas but remember that politics is the art of the possible and the struggle is day in/day out, because nothing was ever built in a day, but a lot of catastrophes happen quickly.

#1 duty here is to prevent catastrophe. the grueling work of building all the rest day in / day out comes after.

!!! FAKE NEWS !!!

If this was so groundbreaking news, why aren't any of the real newspapers reporting it?

demonrail666 05.19.2020 05:04 PM

Maybe because by not reporting it they want it to appear as 'fake news'? At least that's what I'd do if I ran an establishment newspaper keen to protect an establishment candidate.

I'm just surprised the percentage of those who said they distrust it isn't even higher. Although, as you say, it is a year old.

Actually, this isn’t so “groundbreaking” when you understand that the Democratic Leaders have full knowledge of the skeletons in Joe Biden’s closet! The Democratic Leaders aren’t stupid and they’ve seen the writing on the wall!

A better question _tunic_, why is Joe Biden the Democratic candidate?

Think about it: Warren, Buttigieg, Harris......but Joe is their guy??

WHY???

Why do the Democrats keep propping up Joe????

Democrats know Joe has zero chance against Trump, so let Joe crash & burn in 2020 and then Democrats can start fresh in 2024.

For the individual Senators and Congressmen getting elected, sure, 2020 is sort of a big deal......but for the real power structure of the Democratic Party, the DNC Hillary Clinton is in full charge of......2020 is about long term power and setting up the next 3-5 decades!

 

(yes choc-E-choc, I’m fully aware of Hillary’s age and the fact she won’t be here in 30 years)

History: A Glimpse From What Joe Biden Has Evolved

Bytor Peltor 05.22.2020 09:12 AM

Joe Biden this Friday morning (5-22-20)

BIDEN: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."

The black community just loves being told about their blackness!

Just wanted to leave this here because you know major media won’t be sacrificing Joe and airing this on a loop like they would if Trump would have uttered the same thing.

The modern civil war is between Democrats and Republicans and the war front is congress.

Well the media have definitely got a hold of it. Bit of a silly thing to say by him isn't it. Said months ago I was gonna put £50 on Trump to win the next election. Guess the odds are too short to bother nowm

As of this Sunday morning, Donald Trump -145 to win 2020 Election. $50 brings back $35......a $70 wager would win you $50
 


The best long shot in my opinion would be Michelle Obama +8000 or Mark Cuban +12500. A $10 wager on Michelle Obama would win you $800 if she won 2020. $10 would bring back $1250 if Cuban won!
 



The oddest proposition is if Mike Pence will be the Vice President nominees in 2020? If you think not, $10 would bring back $600. If you think yes, $1000 would bring back $100
 


Last but not least......Beto isn’t even listed : )
