Do believe this is the closest anyone here at SYG has come to mentioning the Corona Virus! Short short short was the game, now time to buy buy buy!

......but when?

I’m thinking tomorrow afternoon within the last two hours of the trading day??

Possibly Monday?

If anyone was ever planning on jumping in, this is a opportune time to catch the elevator!

Some Democratic Superdelegates Are Pledging to Destroy the Party

I don't think the 'socialist' label will hurt him or help him in any real meaningful way. Of course, the media and people who are really into politics will argue about socialism and what it means until we're all dead from coronavirus but the average voter doesn't think in such rigid ways. Bernie carried moderates and conservatives in Nevada pretty handily and it wasn't because they liked the specific ideology he follows. I mean, I'm further left than Bernie so it does make me laugh when people act like they'd be electing Stalin 2.0. The data also shows that Bernie has the biggest chance of flipping Trump supporters to him, so there is something else in play that cannot be defined in such a binary.

Actually insane to me that the options are nominate Bernie or completely destroy the party. If the superdelegates screw over Bernie, the dems will have such a low turnout regardless of who they run. When establishment dems act like they'd rather have Trump again than Bernie, it really makes me question what it's all about.

Super PAC backing Warren makes $9 million Super Tuesday ad buy

The shadowy group has committed over $14 million to try to buoy Warren’s candidacy.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...sday-ad-118055

Here is Warren flip flopping again, this time on something she's based her campaign on this whole time.

 

Hmm I guess she doesn't have a moral backbone by her own logic. Her website still says she disavows Super PACs so she is now lying technically and accepting donations on false pretenses. Seems like a sign of desperation considering her campaign is not going as well as once thought.

it's funny (or horrifying too, if you don't have a cynical sense of humor) how the word "socialist" itself is being exploited, regardless of the actual proposed policies behind it.

sanders is no more a socialist than FDR was, but because he calls himself one... soviet union!!!

pure propaganda.

i'm sympathizing more with him every day because of this, actually. i may not agree with his whole program, i see it as more aspirational than implementable, but bloomberg calling him a communist was eyeroll-inducing.

i'll still support bloomie if he ends up the nominee somehow, but i'll see i'm not as enthusiastic about him as i am now about "the commie." jeezus fucking christ.

anyway, i need my coffee and to get back to work or something.

You're actually starting to make way more sense to me now hahaha. His plans probably are more aspirational than implementable but it's about the fight and continuing the fight beyond just one person. #NotMeUs and all that.

Also I have no issue with someone choosing not to vote if it's Bloomberg vs. Trump. At that point, what's the difference?

[Derek]

 

Looks like Bernie might beat Warren in her home state.

what's the difference between having one eye and having none?

what's the difference between having a stroke in one brain hemisphere and losing the whole brain?

More like every hour.

Give Biden a break, he's senile and should be surrounded by his loved ones living a quiet life instead of driving around the US in a No Malarkey bus with a bunch of yes men.

By the way, from The Washington Post yesterday:

As Pence takes the lead on coronavirus, critics recall his response to Indiana HIV outbreak
As cases spiked in Indiana, where Pence was governor, he reportedly turned to prayer.

So dude, let's just pray: it's free, it doesn't involve big government CDC but imaginary friends, and if people (especially poor people) die is not our fault, it's the infallible will of the LAWD!

Bernie Sanders Thanking Bands for Their Music, Ranked
Bernard Sanders, the current frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, has been known to thank bands for their music. He says it just like that—"Let me thank [band] for their music"—in his notoriously thick Brooklyn accent, and it's the best.
